Two and a Half Men

Today I came across a show called "Two and a Half Men" while I was watching TV. I've seen this show many times and knew that this was exactly what I wanted to talk about this week. I found two clips of this show that I would like to talk about.

Here is the first clip:

In this clip, Alan and Charlie are talking about fatherhood. Charlie believes he got a woman pregnant but he does not want to have to deal with raising the kid and "pretending to like soccer". If you have seen this show before, you would know that Charlie fits the male stereotype of getting with a lot of different women and not having to deal with the consequences, also if Charlie sees an attractive woman, he is sure to get her number. Charlie hopes that he and this woman and just move on with their lives separately. Charlie does want to know if he has a child, but he is really reluctant to have to care for it. Alan has a son named Jake. Alan tries to explain to Charlie just how fun fatherhood can be but is ironically distracted by Jake when he has to go help clean up after him.

Here is the second clip: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/two_and_a_half_men/video/video.php?cid=595145752&pid=MYoDNmb8Bq93bufNiuZF9EYbj7sw59lb&play=true&cc=0


In this clip, Jake, Alan, and Charlie and all eating together. A lady walks by that Charlie used to go out with. Like all the other relationships of Charlie's, this relationship did not end well so he doesn't want her to see him. Since Charlie likes to get with a lot of different women, while he was with this one, he was also with her best friend, yet again fulfilling the same stereotype as before. Charlie then goes on to try to make it seem like there was nothing wrong with what he did. The ironic thing is, there is an 8 or 9 year old boy with her that looks exactly like Charlie and this scares him.


Men like Charlie are why some people think men only have bad intentions. He shows this in both of these clips. In the first one, Charlie is hoping to avoid fatherhood and in the second one, he is talking about cheating on his ex girlfriend with her best friend, and he thinks it was okay. Not every guy out there is like Charlie. Alan proves that in these clips. He talks about how wonderful fatherhood is and also tells how he feels about what Charlie has done and still does.

Stay tuned for next week!
