For a good chunk of his career, Patton Oswalt was primarily known as "Kevin James's friend on King of Queens, no, not the black one the nerdy one," so a couple appearances on Two and a Half Men isn't that big a difference. (King of Queens was better than Two and a Half Men, but still.)

He has a little bit of a Charles Grodin thing going on, but that doesn't contradict your point.

Now that you mention it, if Friedberg and Seltzer were Taiwanese (or from Asia in general) they'd very easily fit into the stereotype of "those wacky Asians."

Oh shit, now I get it.
