Comedy master Will Ferrell knows to give credit where credit is due.

In this case, it's his Other Guys costar Mark Wahlberg who earns the funnyguy's praises for being, as Will put it, "funnier than I was!"

Just how solid were Wahlberg's comedy chops? "I was like, 'I'm about to get fired off this movie...That I helped write!" Ferrell told our own Ben Lyons while promoting his new cop comedy last weekend at Comic-Con.

The classy Wahlberg though, was quick to return the praise: "Are you kidding me? I'm working with Will Ferrell...all the funniest people in comedy," he told Ben. "They're gonna make me look like a genius!"

Check out the video above to hear more from Ferrell on why he always runs from the law and why Wahlberg will soon be a hero to the city of Boston.
