Another example might be Doctor Robotnik / Eggman from the SonicTheHedgehog series. While in some incarnations the character is \'\'definitely\'\' comedic, this doesn\'t hold true for every form; sometimes, he\'s just admirably committed to being completely maniacal.

And for a third and final example, I\\\'ll pull from the page itself the quote about Konstantin Baeyko in \\\'\\\'AlphaProtocol\\\'\\\': \\\"\\\'\\\'AlphaProtocol\\\'\\\' has Konstantin Brayko, a brutal Russian mob boss who is a rather sadistic and brutal individual, but ends up more entertaining than disgusting due to a strange obsession with the 80s and just how plain loopy he is.\\\"
None of these three examples are \\\"FauxAffablyEvil\\\" (i.e., pretending to be polite and courteous) and all three are arguably not LaughablyEvil either. Hence, the need for an EvillyAffable article.

LaughablyEvil isn\'t quite the same thing. LaughablyEvil is a character who\'s \'\'funny\'\' while being evil. While the Joker is certainly a case of LaughablyEvil, not all EvillyAffable (by the old definition) characters are LaughablyEvil.

For example, Palpatine when in full-Sith mode is arguably EvillyAffable but he\\\'s not exactly comedic. It\\\'s just that, as Plinkett put it in his review (and I\\\'m paraphrasing), he\\\'s so \\\'\\\'into\\\'\\\' being evil that it\\\'s hard not to find it fun to watch, a sentiment McDiarmid has also shared when talking about playing the character. He\\\'s a CompleteMonster, but somehow, that doesn\\\'t make him unpleasant from the safe perch of the audience.
