Given traditional gender roles, an ugly woman is funny but an ugly man is not. I was trying to think of the male equivalent of ugliness and the only thing I could think of is poverty. Are poor man jokes equivalent to ugly woman jokes? Anyway, I googled "ugly man jokes" and came up with nothing, but "ugly woman jokes" are all over the place.

I guess it's another case of "target audience" since men's lives don't generally depend upon looks alone, there's no real target, thus the lack of any identifiable humor.
that said; I think the butt of both those jokes wasn't so much at being ugly as men getting blind drunk.
Pub Humor. I guy walks into a bar... Silly sod, shoulda' watched where he was going!
