I don't mean that in a way that they're supposed to look ugly, but maybe just that they're simple. Clarence, especially, isn't really supposed to be an appealing guy, he's a nice guy but he can fat and can be annoying and loud loud, his best friend's a literal square, and Sumo's sumo. What makes the characters appealing are the way they act, and then the design matches up well with that.
So I suppose what I'm saying is that people in general are kind of ugly, but it's sort of a charming ugliness?
