who, while normally taken seriously, have intermittent or infrequent moments where they are portrayed humorously. A villain who is played for laughs too often cannot qualify as Near Pure Evil as their comedic presentation detracts too much from their villainy. However, if a villain is taken seriously at least the majority of the time, with only occasional moments where they are played for humour, then they can count as Near Pure Evil. Good examples include Mevia and Andrew.
Please note that this category differs from Laughably Evil in that a Laughably Evil villain is always taken seriously in-universe (and are only funny to the audience), whereas a Minor Comic Relief is taken seriously most but not all the time in-universe. These two categories can overlap if a villain is genuinely comedic in some instances but only comedic to the audience in others.
