They have to be taken as a serious threats and yeah they can have comical moments provided it's not straight up comedy. the leprechaun fails as its horror comedy but Freddy Krueger counts as while he makes wise cracks he's meant to be serious (though he is cheesy). If a comedy then they would have to be a Knight of Cerebus and change if from funny to a frightening dark and serious setting ex: Isaac Ray Peram Westcott changed a funny harem into a seriously dark in comparison setting and does possible MEH crossings like its a hobby or some kind of game and finds all vile acts "funny" apparently. Not all Knight of Cerebus' are Complete Monsters nor are all Complete Monsters Knight of Cerebus'.

A Knight of Cerebus must be constantly portrayed as too dark for the setting normally to the point it feels almost if not always unnatural and constantly competent so horror and dark fantasies naturally lack this type for good reason and same with generally violent media. Complete Monsters though can exist in already dark settings such as horror it's just hard if all the other villains are similar and they have to do enough to stand out considerably.
