If I only catch very brief glimpses of them in a preview or trailer, I always get Rob Corddry and Paul Scheer mixed up.

Paul Scheer's a different height, different head shape and always distinguishable by his gappy grin, but I'm still not entirely certain Corddry and David Koechner are separate people.
