Bad Qualities
- Some unlikable characters such as Judith and Evelyn (Charlie and Alan's mom).
- Berta, while hilarious, can be a very mean-spirited and extremely lazy with her work.
- Some other characters can have some bad flaws them selves
- Charlie can be a very mean-spirited towards his brother Alan.
- Alan can sometimes use Charlie for granted and can be annoying.
- Jake keeps on getting flanderized horribly as the series goes on. He just gets dumber and dumber to the point where we have to use the term brain-dead.
- Judith, while decent in the first half of season 1, is extremely bitchy and unnecessarily rude and cruel and she will do anything to make Alan's life miserable. She even helped Kandi try to make Alan's life more miserable.
- Some other characters can have some bad flaws them selves
- While season 8 is still a decent season, it's considered the weakest season out of the good ones as Jake becoming a really dumb kid also due to the fact that season 8 started the downhill slightly.
- The show also his a massive decline in quality during the rest of the seasons (9, 10, 11, 12) due to Charlie Sheen's termination and especially how they teased his return in the last season (which fooled no one) and caused the finale to be voted one of the absolute worst of all time.
- Mild overuse of sex jokes.
- Many mean-spirited jokes.
- Some of the jokes can be predictable.
