I think it has to do with the way comedy changes. A guy does his one bit well for a while, and then someone else comes along and then he's the new Hollywood Funnyman. The other guys are probably still funny if you had a conversation with them, but in terms of movies they aren't as funny because A) the material they're using is pretty much recycled B) we're ready for the next funny guy. You can only laugh at the same joke so long before you start hating it. Next on the list will probably be Seth Rogan and his group.
