In "A Giant Cat Holding A Churro" Alan confronts his girlfriend Lyndsey, played by Courtney Thorne-Smith, with her playing in a softcore porn movie when she was younger.In the season 12 premiere, Alan dresses as Duckie for Halloween.
Before Two and a Half Men, Jon Cryer was most famous for Pretty in Pink, where his character, Duckie is hopelessly in love with Ringwald's.
In "Chocolate Diddlers or My Puppy's Dead", he and Alan go home after one visit and watch Glee, to which he responds "that tall blond in the red tracksuit is freaking me out". Charlie, every now and then, goes to a psychiatrist played by Jane Lynch.To be fair he tried to be a decent parent in the earlier seasons (when Jake was younger) but between Charlie's hedonistic lifestyle, Judith's emotional and financial abuse, Jake himself growing into more of an irresponsible idiot, you can see that Alan may be just cynical and doesn't really care anymore (sometimes, this sadly happens Truth in Television).It's no wonder that Jake's turned out how he has. Alan has shades of this in later seasons, mostly due to how dismissive and neglectful he is to Jake, as well as how often he insults Jake to his face.Gold Digger and Hypocrite? Check, Check, Check. Verbally abusing him and his father? Check. Seeing strange men in front of her underage son? Check. Considering how both Charlie and Alan seem to suffer from a Freudian Excuse and possibly Oedipus Complex, one can easily deduce Judith is not much better than Evelyn. Judith herself isn't the best mom, or even human being, ever.In fact, both Charlie and Alan's behavior can be partly explained as different reactions to growing up with a cold, self-centered, narcissistic mother and a weak or absent father. Evelyn eats the souls of children, as Alan points out.Whether Judith's new baby is Alan's or Herb's was never really resolved, since Judith's actress left the show.Well, the Charlie/Rose/Manny issue has been somewhat resolved due to Charlie being dead. With Charlie Sheen gone, the story of the decidedly odd Love Triangle of Charlie, crazy Rose, and "Manny Quinn" will never be resolved.
