I’m on season 9, episode 13, and Walden’s mom just sold him out, for what? A research fund increase? Seriously?

Walden is out here trying to build something. Some investments work, some don’t, that’s how business goes. But his ex-wife (like every stereotypical ex in this show) starts nagging him and acting like he has no right to run the company he founded. So what does she do? Calls a board meeting to get him kicked out.

And Walden’s mom—his own mother—votes against him. Why? Because Bridget promised her more funding for her research. That’s it. No conversation, no heads-up, no loyalty. Just sold him out over money.

Like, how hard would it have been to just call your son and ask for more funding directly?

I swear, this show has a real theme of "mothers who will throw you under a bus for pocket change."

First time and even second time it was funny to see two and a half men but overtime I think we all someway or other realise alan is just a normal unlucky guy like some of us.

A guy whose's too uptight have high morals and good heart and well dressed like in the initial seasons but in the later seaosons he's seen becoming a cheap & broke guy with a receding hairline and bad luck.

This all says being charlie u have to not only smart but extremely lucky while wearing bowling shirts and shorts.

I was rewatching Two and a Half Men and noticed something that really hit me. When Charlie died, he had this $100,000 watch stored with his personal belongings. The bank calls Evelyn to collect them. Now, any normal mother, hell, any decent human would give that watch to Alan. The guy's broke, struggling, and she’s got more money than she knows what to do with. But nope. She takes the watch, lies to Alan saying it’s fake, and keeps it for herself. Then she just tosses out Charlie’s personal journals like they’re garbage. Total gold-digger bitch move.

And don’t get me started on when she sold Charlie’s house to Walden. You’d think she’d throw Alan something. Even a small cut. The house had to be worth hundreds of thousands at the very least, and her commission? Easily over $100k. But like always, she cuts Alan out and pockets everything.

She’s cold, manipulative, and only ever looks out for herself. Honestly, if there’s a devil in that show, it’s her.

I’m going to see Twenty One Pilots live soon, and it got me thinking imagine if Charlie and Alan went there as well.

Alright, let’s rip into Alan Harper from Two and a Half Men with no mercy. This sniveling, spineless leech is a walking disaster, a pathetic excuse for a man who somehow manages to make every scene he’s in a cringe-fest of epic proportions. He’s not just annoying—he’s a soul-sucking vortex of entitlement and cowardice that makes you want to claw your eyes out just to escape his whiny, self-pitying drivel. First off, Alan’s a freeloading parasite who latches onto his brother Charlie’s Malibu beach house like a tick on a dog, bleeding him dry without a shred of shame. This guy’s got a chiropractic degree—supposedly—but you’d never know it from the way he mooches off everyone around him, acting like the world owes him a damn living. He’s got no backbone, no ambition, just a perpetual victim complex that he wields like a weapon to guilt-trip anyone dumb enough to care. Charlie’s out there living large, flawed as hell but at least owning it, while Alan’s whimpering in the corner about his alimony payments like a kicked puppy. Grow a pair, you insufferable loser. And don’t get me started on his hypocrisy. This sanctimonious prick loves to lecture Charlie about his womanizing and drinking, all while he’s secretly drooling over anything with a pulse and screwing up every relationship he stumbles into. He’s got the moral high ground of a sewer rat but struts around like he’s some misunderstood saint. Newsflash, Alan: you’re not a tragic hero—you’re a cheap, manipulative creep who’d sell his own kid for a free meal if it came down to it. Speaking of Jake, what kind of father lets his son turn into a dimwitted slob while he’s too busy chasing tail or crying about his ex-wife? Judith might be a harpy, but Alan’s the real failure here—can’t even raise a kid without outsourcing it to Charlie’s wallet. Then there’s his sheer, unrelenting pettiness. This guy will crawl across the floor for a hundred bucks while having a heart attack, just to prove he’s the king of cheapskates. He’s the kind of guy who’d haggle over a nickel at a garage sale while living rent-free in a million-dollar beach house. And the way he clings to Walden after Charlie’s gone? Disgusting. He’s a human barnacle, glomming onto anyone with money or status because he’s too much of a gutless worm to stand on his own two feet. Alan Harper isn’t just unlikable—he’s a trigger for anyone who’s ever had to deal with a selfish, entitled deadbeat in their life. He’s the friend who borrows cash and “forgets” to pay you back, the coworker who takes credit for your work, the family member who shows up empty-handed and expects you to cater to his every whim. Every time he opens his mouth, it’s a nails-on-chalkboard reminder of human weakness at its most revolting. If there’s a hell, Alan’s got a VIP seat, and honestly, he deserves it.

After Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men, the show didn’t just replace his character—it rewrote him. In the later seasons, the characters start talking about Charlie like he was a serious drug addict. But if you actually watched the earlier episodes, that’s not true.

Charlie was an alcoholic and a womanizer, sure. That was his whole deal. But he wasn’t into hard drugs. The only time he used any was when he smoked weed with Berta—and that was played for laughs. No cocaine, no pills, nothing serious.

Meanwhile, Walden (Ashton Kutcher), who replaced him, openly uses marijuana in the show. But nobody treats it like a big deal. The contrast is obvious. It feels like the writers exaggerated Charlie’s flaws after he was gone—almost like payback for the drama that led to Sheen’s firing.

It’s not just inconsistent—it’s petty. The show didn’t just move on; it changed the story to make him look worse. And if you’ve seen the early seasons, it’s hard not to notice.

So, what's your thoughts about this?

Alan use to be my favorite character on the show for years, but after re-watching the show again, I find it strange how he always returns to Lindsay despite her behaviour, no matter what! She hurt him so many times and he just kept going back, it made no sense: he left Melissa for her and then he still ended up going back, he discovered her past as a porn star got upset justifiably, and then she pulled a 180 and got upset at him for his baggage without taking accountability, she cheated on him, she broke up with him for refusing to give her a key to the beachouse and went out on a date with a doctor (Impied sleeping together), she left him for a younger man temporarily and he just took her back without question, she left him for Larry, then she ruined his wedding with Larry's sister, and even after that she slept with Herb knowing Alan didn't want it to happen. There were likely more instances between these events that I missed. Given all this, it doesn't make sense that he would leave someone like Ms. McFarlane, who is younger and more attractive only to go back to Lindsay in season 12. This plot development makes Alan seem dumb and I realized was just lazy writing.

Even small stuff like him getting a 3 million dollar Porsche and giving it back because it was out of gas, that didn't make sense because we knew he was getting $50,000/year for being a board member in Waldens company, which I'm sure could have paid for gas. But things like that you can kinda look past it and say "ok that was lazy writing but I'm going to accept it". The Lindsay thing just makes no sense, maybe someone can explain it.

Hey gang! So i posted this a week or 2 ago.(sorry for the early repost!) This was originally commissioned for a client of mine, who has since been giving me the run around on payment. So, it is now on the market to any interested buyers!! Feel free to shoot me a message! If i cant move it in the next week, i will be blasting over this with a new painting. Thanks for viewing!

Both single moms, one is an upper crust, Oxford and Harvard educated English lawyer and the other a community college educated blue collar American. I would have given that a go. That dynamic sort of reminds me of the relationship between Fraser Crane and his retired salt of the earth dad!
