The reason I’d put the
Two and a Half Men finale high on the list is because it literally makes no sense if you weren’t familiar with what was going on with Charlie Sheen at the time.
For the final episode, the kid came back onto the show and it was announced that Charlie’s character was still alive. It was advertised like it was going to be a big reunion of the original cast. So Charlie arrives at the front door, knocks on it… and then
a piano is dropped on him. It then pans over to Chuck Lorre sitting in the director’s chair, who looks at the camera and says, “Winning!“
I get that it was meant to be a diss towards Sheen, who had said some mean things to Lorre, but it seems incredibly petty first of all–like, dude, you basically
own the sitcom market on TV, so be the bigger man–and moreover doesn’t seem like it would hold up years on down the line. Like, imagine someone was binging
Two and a Half Men in 2050, long after Charlie Sheen’s mental breakdown has been forgotten in the public consciousness. When they get to that final episode, they will probably just be like, “Huh?”
