Hillarious "Two and a Half Men" Episode Last Night

[TexasStooge]

Last night's episode of "Two and a Half Men" was a riot!

[GalvestonDuck]

I've only watched it once -- the time when Lucy Lawless made a guest-appearance.

[Miss Mary]

We thought so too Stooge. The grill scene (spitting on burgers, rubbing them under his armpits then Alan licking the flatware) was hilarious!

Two and a Half Men is consistently funny, every single week. I think it's currently the funniest sitcom on right now. A must-see show for me!

Except for their mom, every character was on last night too. Love the housekeeper, Rose, even nasty Judith. Well, not love that character, but hopefully you know what I mean.

I wish they'd air the pilot again, b/c I just don't remember seeing it, even in repeats. I began watching a few months into Season 1.

*gasp!* Funnier than Joey?

[Miss Mary]

Duckie - hate to break it to ya, but yes, yes and yes! I wish I could put Joey in the Friends category, as a show that was always, consistently funny, week after week. Sigh, Joey just comes up short usually. Comical, nice to see Joey Tribianni again, but his show just makes me miss Friends all the more. And Chandler!

I've narrowed my weekly TV show list to a few if I begin working again and have little free time. Don't worry, Joey's in there......but the list is topped by TAHM!

Have you watched it? The neurotic Alan is so funny to watch, next to dead pan Charlie. Who just keeps zinging these lines that you have to sometimes back up again, to hear twice they are so funny.

Yeah, the one I watched was where Charlie had been speaking like he was gay to his boss because he just accidentally started doing it once after he first met him. As Charlie explained it to Alan, it's kind of like when you're around Southerners and you can't help but say "y'all." So, when Alan catches him talking like that on the phone, Charlie tells him that he's been invited to his boss's house for a get-together and that Alan is supposed to come as his "significant other."

Anyway, Lucy Lawless played the "hot chick" in the episode and Charlie had a hard time keeping up the charade with her there.

It is ALWAYS funny.. lol.. Great show.. And Mary even though the Mom was not actually on last night, they still had the scene when she was on the phone with him.

[Miss Mary]

Yeah I know Chad. I just think each main character adds so much to the show. It is funny that we didn't need to see the mom, but we could certainly picture her - oh yeah! Remember the show where the brothers were trying to set a good example to Jake, of how to treat your mother? They got conned into hosting the awards dinner.....another very funny one. They're all funny! If anyone asks me about this show and if it's worth the time, I always say yes! Watch and you will laugh.

Our youngest daughter usually devotes lots of time to her homework (has ADD) and often can't watch first run TV. We record all 4 CBS Monday night sitcoms. She'll ask me the next morning, which one of the 4 was the funniest to watch during breakfast. Wonder which one I say? LOL

I think this show if funnier than Raymond even..

Shawn - that was a great episode. Alan played it pefectly, down to his over the top outfit. Hysterically funny.

I think my favorite episode still is from Season 1, where Charlie has an old friend pop back into his life. He's to meet her at a bar but a man walks up named Bill and the two of them hit it off. Won't say anymore, it's a classic.

Oh, that's right! Melanie Lynskey is in TAHM. No wonder I never really started watching it. I still get the willies hearing her name after seeing her in "Heavenly Creatures." That was one truly bizarre, weird, disturbing movie. I couldn't watch the ending the first time around, but I've seen it since.

Speaking of movies, I went to check out "Dazed And Confused" before Beach Party Weekend, but it was "never returned" to our video store (IOW, stolen!).

So, since I didn't get a lot of movies to watch so I could avoid the crowds, I organized my own and rearranged my living room and office. I arranged all my video tapes and DVD on shelves by genre and, in doing so, I've learned that I must not be a big fan of comedies. I have less than one shelf full. I filled the rest of the "comedy" shelf with workout tapes (Tae-Bo), concert videos (Garth and Amy), and musicals (Grease, Footloose). I have a whole slew of Patty Duke movies (she gets a whole long shelf on the entertainment center ). There are tons of dramas, crime (courtroom dramas, true crime, serial killers, thrillers), and action. I have one shelf devoted just to disaster- and weather-related movies. And then two shelves of TV shows that I have recorded or on DVD (ER, Xena, Facts Of Life, VR5, L.A. Law mostly). I still can't believe I have that many tapes from TV shows. What the heck?? Now I just need to catalog them online (imdb.com lets you do that).

Okay, so I'm a freak. What can I say?

[Miss Mary]

What a productive night you had there Shawn! Sounds as if it was a scene straight out of Mission Organization or whatever it's called on HGTV. Had to laugh at that movie never being returned. Could only happen to a movie like that.

I need to reorganize, but trouble is, the entire house needs it. One room/area leads to another.

Mission Organization??? Okay, need to check out the listings for HGTV and find that one!! I like Clean Sweep best right now.

LOL! D&C isn't the only one missing from that store that I want to see. The other one is Keaton's Cop, which was filmed here in Galveston.

I couldn't believe how many times I was laughing or going yuck last night between Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer... oh the sibling feuds. OMG it was hilarious! I vivdly remember the last scene (young kids) where Jon Cryer is supposedly walking down the street in petal pushers with a wedgie! Another scene that sticks into my mind was the one where Jon was trying to give Charlie a wedgie (Payback) but only Charlie supposedly wasn't wearing any bloomers.

Im not wearing any, but thanks for scratching my arse.. LOL

[Miss Mary]

Chad - so I take it you're most like Charlie Harper? Not Alan Harper? LOL

So glad to see others enjoy this show too. My husband is one of 6 siblings and he thought last night's episode was very funny.

I laughed at Rose's response to staying for lunch, oh I'll pass, when Charlie is spitting on burgers before they go on the grill.

And oh how about Alan switching the dinner plates Charlie put down, thinking Charlie gave him the bad burger, then reswitching them back when Rose pointed out Charlie might have thought that one out. It was getting quite confusing there, imagining them eating spit filled burgers, with salvia slobbered untensils. The ending could have one getting the other's flu or something, had a brother been sick.

Did anyone catch Jake's beginning comment - if you two were queer, we could be one of those alternated families.

That was Lucy Lawless in the other episode? Good God, I didn't recognize her at all. . .

That was Lucy Lawless in the other episode? Good God, I didn't recognize her at all. . .

Her hair is lighter now (and curlier), more like her natural color. She darkened it when she was cast as Xena because the creators felt it would give her a more menacing look (Xena was a villainess in the beginning). Meanwhile, Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle) who was blonde or strawberry blonde for most of the series (and in real life) has now gone brunette.

Here's a fairly large-sized screen cap of Lucy Lawless and Charlie Sheen from TAHM. Too big to post here.

Now I see it. Thanks for the cap.

Another funny episode last night (May 2)! You knew as soon as Evelyn arrived unannounced, it was going to be good. A funeral for ex-husband #2, with 2 former jilted wives in attendance, again - funny. Evelyn's speech near the end was perfect. We keep learning more and more why Alan is so anal and wound tight and Charlie is well, the way he is!

Cracked up when Evelyn threatened to haunt the boys after she's gone if they didn't attend the funeral too, and Charlie merely asks how would that be different than now? LOL

I just love this show but one thing should go - the theme song. It just doesn't seem to fit. Audio, fine. Audio and video with the 3 of them singing, I don't know....it's just odd.
