The ironic thing is, the roles that made Rogan a star? He didn't write. And those roles were written for him. I've yet to see anything he's done on his own, using his "talent", that's funny. In most cases, it's a complete bore.
Apatow was funny, not Rogan. Anyone would be funny if they had apatow writing their lines.
Maybe, but there was also a fair amount of improvisation in particular in Apatow movies. There's a scene in the unrated version of 40 Year Old Virgin where Rogan and Paul Rudd are trading snaps back and forth on "You know how I know YOURE gay?" that is pretty good. I don't know if that was all scripted.
