I’m not sure if I would take this as an insult as a compliment, Ashton Kutcher’s coworkers on the “Two and a Half Men” set have said that he’s not funny but at least he’s not crazy. I don’t really know why they would think Ashton would be funnier than Charlie Sheen on set, but I guess they did. The coworkers also said they would rather have not crazy than funny. See what else they said after the jump.

It was the season premiere that ate its competition: 28.7 million viewers for Two and a Half Men with its new star Ashton Kutcher. But Charlie Sheen, who was axed by his old CBS bosses, did just fine with record-breaking numbers over at Comedy Central, which aired the ex-star’s potty-mouth roast on the same night.

So who really won? Charlie or Ashton?

Well, according to Charlie’s old colleagues Stunningly, it was Charlie.

Here’s what two of Sheen’s old worker-bees had to say:

“[Ashton] is really a nice guy. Just a nice guy. And he’s OK on set. He gets the job done—that’s what we all want.”

If you’re thinking this a slightly less than glowing review, listen to how another former colleague of Charlie’s (who’s also still employed by the show), broke it down about Demi’s husband:

“He’s just not as funny as Charlie. Not that we’d want Charlie back if you doubled our salaries.”

You hear that?

The guys (and gals) who were having trouble paying their mortgages during one of Sheen’s notorious AWOL meltdowns, do not—repeat—do not want him back.

They are very, very clear about that.

But they also freely volunteer that the show, in their veteran opinions, “just isn’t the same anymore,” and that they find Sheen’s substitute to be more of a “safe replacement.”

Wonder if the rest of the country will ultimately agree with the crew following that huge opening night?
