Do you know how much that kid on 2 1/2 men earns??! US$375,000 per episode! I think I read it works out to around US$3 mil a year!

There are 22 episodes per season. Works out to be $8.25 million.

... and all he had to do was be fat and able to remember a few obvious jokes.

If it makes you feel any better I have it on good authority that he spends it all on hamburgers.

I dunno, I don't really watch it very often, but I don't think it's a terrible show by any stretch of the imagination. Although the few times I've watched, the character I enjoy most is the housekeeper, which does say a lot for the main characters I guess.

Oh well, to each his own.

Yeah, she is funny!

I'm sure we all hold a few opinions that go against the popular grind. Here are a few of mine.

1. The Dark Knight was very overrated, and Heath Ledger's joker was over-hyped and somewhat annoying.
2. Avatar was not as spectacular as people like to think - it was in fact quite bland and forgettable.
3. Tomato Ketchup is a crap condiment that ruins meals.
4. The Beatles music isn't all that interesting. Fuck 'em.
5. Two and a Half Men isn't THAT good at all.

You got any?

Bump. Six years later and I'm an absolute sell out. #TeamKetchup

Also, I've now actually listened to all of the Beatles albums and they did some great stuff, but I don't buy them as the pinnacle of music. They're decent, and blazed the trail in many ways, but greatest of all time? Hmmmmmmmm, nah. Not for me.

If you posted in this thread during its original run, take a look at what you said and hold your hand up if you've changed your mind on anything.

1. Skinny chicks aren't attractive (for the most part)
2. In America, we need to raise taxes for the rich and eliminate subsidies to agriculture and oil.
3. An ever expanding economy is stupid and doesn't exist. The "recession" is not bad.
4. Liver tastes good.
5. I believe democracy is stupid because the average person has the IQ of a drum of expired mayonnaise.
6. People are not biologically (naturally) competitive/evil.

I'm glad that most of my point 2 is actually a popular opinion now. After this election, I'm more assured than ever that democracy is stupid.

I just noticed I was the thread killer back then

Things I've noticed that have changed since...

Pokey is a lot less tolerant of the American gun culture these days.
Pete Helliar lives 1 street away from me although he did put his place up for sale so not sure if he's moved out yet or not. And he has an even bigger gig on tv now? My mum watches it but I haven't seen it so not sure if he is still as not funny as he was before.

I can confirm that he has in fact regressed. He is even more not funny than he used to be.
