Top 10 Funniest Moments on Two and a Half Men

After coming across his fetching new neighbor Celeste, Jakes takes her away for a date without returning back on time. When Celeste's intimidating father Jerome comes looking for her, his anger is directed toward Charlie. Stuck with no way out and a hulking man prepared to make him pay, Charlie has no choice but to try and charm Jerome. Unfortunately for Jake's uncle, his attempt at calling his nephew doesn't work out, as he gets stuck with an unfortunate ringtone that seems to predict his immediate future. With nothing coming to mind and his attempts to switch the phone off failing, Charlie tries his hand at some physical comedy that does nothing to shake Jerome in the slightest.

It's no wonder Jake turns out the way he does, considering the people he's constantly around. After hearing his mother and Herb getting intimate, he has far too many uncomfortable questions that forces Alan to confront the two lovers. Jake's questions seem even funnier when these adults start discussing them, as a horrified Judith learns just how demanding she is, when she's supposed to be quite the opposite. Alan's recollection has a particular ring to it, adding in his own hatred of Judith to humiliate her further. With Alan and Herb both having been on the receiving end of Judith's "instructions," the two form a weird connection out of their mutual experiences that is as hilarious as it is uncomfortable.

Despite being stepped over by Judith and his family his entire life, Alan doesn't lose his cool, even when he has to pay ridiculous amounts of child support and alimony. When Charlie forces Alan to visit Jake's psychiatrist, she encourages him to face his anger. This doesn't initially work, but Charlie's hilariously accurate impression of Judith certainly helps to get things going. Having gotten the option to let his pent-up emotions out, Alan doesn't hold back in the way he vents his rage on Charlie. Things spiral out of control completely when Alan is truly unleashed, which Charlie painfully becomes aware of. Although he was trying to help Alan here, this was still good payback for all the times Charlie belittled Alan.

The series started making plenty of real world references near its conclusion, making it a bit too self-aware at times. In this instance, Alan and Walden rue over their troubles and compare who has it worse. The scene recaps the events that have taken place as a way to build up toward the eventual payoff. While it seems as if the two are simply musing over their problems, Alan takes us by surprise by staring straight into the camera and speaking directly. This turns out to be a highly creative way to make the audience laugh, as the show decides to ignore the fourth wall altogether. It's referenced again in the series finale, where the fourth wall is shattered beyond repair.

Alan spends the entire series being both a pushover who gets no respect and a notoriously cheap man who craves having money. Both these problems turn around when he begins a Ponzi scheme involving his family and friends, making Alan rich for the first time. When his conscience begins to catch up, Alan's evil side arrives as well. It puts things into hilarious context how even Alan's own reflection talks down to him, as evil Alan makes an argument he can't argue against. With his guilt no longer weighing him down, we watch Alan take charge for once, as he manages to intimidate Charlie with his new attitude. True to his nature, though, the original Alan is revealed to still be inside of him.

Good Luck Charlie Cast: Where Are They Now?

Alan begins dating the well-meaning, but extremely ditzy Kandi, whose easygoing nature finally allows him to loosen up. However, Judith reaches the end of her patience after she sees Kandi showing herself off a bit too much. Realizing Alan isn’t there, she decides to take her anger out on Charlie instead. Having always been wise to her act, Charlie takes this as an opportunity to rile Judith up further with some well-timed comebacks she has no answers for. When he’s had enough of her, he proceeds to slam the door in Judith’s face, and you just know he enjoys every second of it. Considering she always got the last word, it’s extremely satisfying to see Judith lose an argument this badly.

At times even Charlie finds it difficult to keep up with the women in his life. When he begins dating the sophisticated Lydia, Charlie feels he might have scored a winner for once. However, when Lydia meets Evelyn, the two begin taking jabs at each other in a way that’s more than just familiar for Charlie’s family. From her general attitude to her dressing sense, Lydia seems to be the spitting image of Charlie’s mother, something everyone sees... except Charlie himself. It’s a way for the series to address his deep-seated mommy issues, as he tries to get the approval of a lover who treats him just like Evelyn does. When even Jake senses things are weird, you know they really are out of hand.

When Melissa’s short lived romance with Charlie ends in disaster, Alan tries his best to keep her as his receptionist. However, this results in both of them falling for each other, feelings the two find difficult to contain. Funnily enough, Alan and Melissa's cheesy flirting ends up doing the trick, as the two are unable to contain their attraction any longer. While Alan is successful in keeping things at bay for the time being, the scene then turns into a sequence of double entendres that leaves no doubt what either of them are thinking. All things considered, this makes for a funny and heartwarming scene, as Alan and Melissa each find that special someone equally as weird as them.

Left with Jake for the first time since his divorce, Alan isn't prepared for the extra responsibility, after Judith leaves for vacation. After struggling with his duties as a father, and with his job in general, Alan thinks he has some free time at last, after a hard day's work. However, he and Charlie get the nagging feeling that they've forgotten something important. It's a spectacular use of the camera cut technique to tell the joke, as we're treated to a shot of Alan's stunning failure. It gets better when Jake has no forgiveness to offer and keeps putting Alan and Charlie down with a number of well-timed jabs. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Jake Takes a Ballet Class, “That Voodoo That I Do Do” This Kid Really Has No Filter Alan’s Meltdown While Talking About the Psychiatrist, “I'd Like to Start With the Cat” Alan Is the Last Person to Ask for Advice Charlie Writes the “Oshikuru” Theme Song, “The Salmon Under My Sweater” That Is One Catchy Song Charlie Fantasizes His Own Funeral, “The Devil's Lube” Charlie Knows How to Go Out in Style Jake Likes the Taste of Lip Gloss, “Tucked, Taped and Gorgeous” We Expect Nothing Else From This Lovable Weirdo

At heart, Two and a Half Men is a show about men who are perpetually lonely. In this scene, Alan and Charlie find guys just as alone as they are, and engage in conversation one would expect from such a group. The scene highlights how even a group of sad guys can actually be pretty funny, and when the topic moves over to their love lives, none of the men are prepared for each other’s answers. After attempts to “zing” don’t work out, the addition of poor Gordon and his life story pretty much proves why these guys are alone to begin with. Filled with the wacky humor the series prides itself on, the men somehow manage to turn this into a night to remember.
