why is this a thing

people can't help the way they look, what are you supposed to do, get plastic surgery so others don't have some paranormal obsession with punching you?

That Shkreli guy has one.

Some people have faces that are just punchable. Their features just emote smug egotism. You see them and want to pop them.

It's not the face--it's the expression. That's what people mean. "This guy has such a punchable expression."

If someone looks extremely smug and full of themselves, you may or may not feel a desire to take them down a notch, which may or may not involve punching them in the face.

It's also just a funny thing to say. "Punchable" is not a real word, so humor is derived from it. Punching someone in the face is an incredibly mean thing to do, so the sheer bluntness and candor of the statement makes it easy for it to become widespread. Because it's funny.

The fact that you needed this explained to you is just more proof of how unbelievably stupid you are.

ok

I can't think of anyone who I'd want to punch in the face unless I was angry. I can't think of anyone at the current moment who I'd want to punch in the face.

That Shkreli guy has one.

Beat me to it.

I wouldn't say his face is punchable as much as it's hilarious how he looks more squid than human, and his face is literally always a shit eating grin and literal troll face.

It has less to do with their looks and more to do with their attitude.

Outward smugness or the light of their eyes showing you how superior they like to prop themselves up as.
