Charlie Sheen says “Two and a Half Men” is cursed

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:18:00 +0000

Former "Two and a Half Men" star and public disaster Charlie Sheen has officially weighed in on his former co-star's bizarre outburst, in which Angus T. Jones called the show "filth" and urged viewers not to watch the show that Jones stars in. Jones has since apologized and Sheen said the outburst was uncharacteristic. “Obviously, not having been there for some time, the Angus T. Jones that I knew and still love is not the same guy I saw on YouTube yesterday," he said to TMZ.

But Sheen, himself a walking hyperbole, blamed the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, for Jones' "Hale-Bopp-like meltdown," saying, “I dare anyone to spend 10 years in the laugh-track that is Chuck Lorre’s hive of oppression and not suffer some form of an emotional tsunami.” Sheen told E! Online, "It is radically clear to me that the show is cursed."

Rainn Wilson parodies Angus T. Jones’ meltdown

After "Two and a Half Men's" Angus T. Jones broke down on camera begging viewers not to watch the "filth" that is his show, comedian Rainn Wilson seized the opportunity to make comedic gold. Wilson, along with "Office" co-star Craig Robinson (Darryl Philbin) taped a brilliant parody saying, "'The Office' is nothing, okay. If you watch 'The Office,' please don't watch 'The Office.'"

Wilson's parody effectively turned into an ad for the show, as he reiterated not to watch the show's final season, which airs at "Thursday nights, 9 o'clock, on NBC." "It's the enemy," said Wilson. "Hopefully people will listen to me, and not watch this filth called 'The Office.'"

“Two and a Half Men” star hates “Two and a Half Men,” too

Angus T. Jones, 19, who for nearly a decade has played the half-man on CBS’s vile, hugely popular “Two and a Half Men,” does not want you to watch “Two and a Half Men.” “If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.' I’m on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don’t want to be on it," he says in a recent video interview. "Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please."

"Two and a Half Men” has a very memorable history of its actors speaking out against it, but unlike Jones’ former costar Charlie Sheen, who infamously went off on the show as he was going off his rocker, Jones’ beef with “Two and a Half Men” is not that its creators won't let him misbehave to his heart's content. It's that "Two and a Half Men" is un-Christian.
