And very soon anyone in the Seth Rogen clique could fall into this category.

I disagree. Seth Rogan comedies often pit him as a central characters but they have very good supporting characters that pick up whatever slack he leaves. Pineapple Express had James Franco, Superbad had Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and his Cop friend, and Zach and Miri had Craig Robinson. What makes Will Ferrel unfunny is the fact he tries carrying all of his films and he just cannot, and the only film he was in that was stellar was Anchorman and that's because his surrounding cast.

Seth Rogan may not be a terrific actor but his stories are hilarious and he does a good job of surrounding himself with a good cast. This is coming from someone who is a SEVER critic of comedies.
