Two and a Half Men: Difference between revisions

* [[Ascended Meme]]: When Alan believes he's Charlie, he states "Winning!" A reference to Charlie Sheen's [[Memetic Mutation]], "bi-winning."

* [[Ashes to Crashes]]: Charlie's ashes end up on the living room when Alan is startled by Walden.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: In "Kinda Like Necrophilia", Charlie manipulates Alan to get him to steal his girlfriend and dump her for him, while making Alan think he was hurting Charlie for it.

* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: According to Alan, Walden is hung like an elephant. Berta and Judith are impressed when they see him naked.

"I'm afraid due to the nature of his passing, the remains aren't exactly...spittable" }}

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Invoked in an episode, where the brothers discover that one of Charlie's former girlfriends has undergone a sex change and is now dating their ''mother''. Charlie's suggestion to dealing with this? "Drink until the part of the brain that creates mental pictures dies!"

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Although in this case literally, as Walden's ex-wife drives her car through the wall we usually never see because it's the side from which the audience watches the show. (In the episode "What a Lovely Landing Strip.")

* [[Brick Joke]]:

* [[The Cameo]]: John Stamos and [[Dharma and Greg]] showed up looking to buy Charlie's house.

* [[Car Meets House]]: In "What a Lovely Landing Strip", Bridget deliberately crashes her car into Walden's house after he dumps her.

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

** Charlie's "Are you out of your freakin' mind?" usually said to Alan.

** Alan's "nevertheless" and "be that as it may".

* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: In "Is There A Mrs Waffles?" Charlie watches [[Dharma and Greg]] (an inside joke as that was another Chuck Lorre production). Then they turn up to buy Charlie's house after he's killed.

* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Jake's new baby sister, especially considering on how the show played up on whether if Judith's new baby is Jake's half-sister or his sister. (Judith and Herb had a fight and separated in which a depressed Judith seems to be nicer to Alan and they are in a sexual relationship in which Judith seems to want to get back together with Alan. However shortly before Judith and Herb reunited, Judith began hating Alan again and told him to go away. Shortly after Herb and Judith have reunited Judith is pregnant, before and after the baby was born Alan believes that he is the father of the child while Judith strongly denies it due to her hatred of him.) However shortly after the baby was born, the child was never mentioned again and only Jake was accounted for when it came to Judith's children (though it was briefly brought up in "A Giant Cat Holding a Churro", where Alan tells all of his embarrassing secrets to Lindsey, and again in "Frodo's Headshots", thanks to a dream whipped up by Alan's guilty subconscious).

** And then for the ladies, Ashton Kutcher's first episode featured him walking around in his birthday suit.

* [[Fetish]]: Alan has a bit of a thing for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiNOcWY9KRI pregnant women.]

* [[Flanderization]]:

** Jake has become more stupid as the show has gone on, almost to the point of being a [[The Ditz]]. Recently he has shown to be good at cooking, so he is not totally helpless. More jokes have been made about his weight as well, even though he seems to be evening out. Makes you feel sorry for Angus Jones. Additionally, since he began smoking pot, he has gone from lovably dense to damn near inert.

'''Walden:''' Why'd she leave you?

'''Alan:''' No idea, she's a crazy bitch. }}

* [[Flirty Stepsiblings]]: Charlie and Evelyn's fiance's daughter, played by Jenny McCarthy. It was later revealed that she wasn't actually the guy's daughter too (they were both con artists) so there was a TON of [[Not Blood Siblings]] going on.

* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Charlie is choleric, Alan is melancholic, Jake is phlegmatic, and Rose is sanguine.

* [[If I Had a Nickel]]: "An Old Flame with a New Wick" has, "If I had a nickel for every time a girl broke up with me and came back as a man, I'd have a ''nickel''!"

* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]. When trapped in the beachhouse by a storm, both Zoey and Lindsay fake very loud sex noses, each to try to one-up the other. Zoey's are [[Crowning Moment of Funny|operatic, no less]]. Also, Lindsay can be quite vocal when she's [[Hurricane of Puns|having a ball]].

* [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]: In one episode Charlie imagines tearing Alan's arm off and beating him with it.

* [[Informed Ability]]: For a [[Big Eater]], Jake [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich|never seems to finish a meal]] on the show, often going off to do his homework with his plate still mostly full.

* [[Informed Flaw]]: In Rose's earliest appearances, the major characters reacted to her as if she was ugly; this was phased out and replaced by sheer creepiness relatively quickly, though. Rose's actress is, by most standards, very pretty.

* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|SQUAB!]]

* [[Inventor of the Mundane]]: Walden Schmidt is billionaire after developing a website that he sold to Microsoft for $1.3 billion. No one has ever heard of it because Microsoft decided to bundle it with the Zune.

* [[It's All About Me]]: This arguably applies to everyone, but especially Evelyn, the two brothers' mother. She frequently reacts to news that affects anyone except her with "Do you have any idea what you put me through?!"

* [[No Nudity Taboo]]: Walden

* [[No Pregger Sex]]: Inverted; Alan says that the most sex they had with Judith was during the time she was pregnant with Jake. This led to him having a pregnancy fetish.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: The "Den Mother Fiasco" continually mentioned when Charlie started going out with Jake's teacher.

* [[Not Blood Siblings]]

* [[Not Staying for Breakfast]]: Charlie
