I'm glad you think my objections are related to his weight loss. I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out to me, as a matter of fact. My objections to him are not so superficial. I've been exposed to enough of his sense of "humor" in interviews and movies both to find him repugnant. He's not charming, funny or clever, he's just a loser who got famous.
I don't happen to hate Paul Rudd, but I liked him before he ended up being the stalker in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, so I can say that I've liked his work when it's not Apatow-related. If anything though, I'd see Role Models for Seann William Scott. His humor is no less sophomoric than the Apatow crowd, but it doesn't pretend it is. If you're going to be crude and biased in your humor, at least do me the favor of being honest about it.
