The Collector
Tranquilo
Freeloading off his bro, women walk all over him because he's weak, middle aged and unemployed. Dude is a self-loathing, always wanting a pity party fukkboy. Even his son doesn't respect him. fukk this guy.
Show jumped the shark with charlie on itI stopped watching this show after sheen left/got fired, but caught the odd episode here and there, and they really doubled down on making him a loser in those final seasons, to the point where they tried to make him as pathetic as possible

I think that's what made the show stop working. Charlie and Alan were both fukked up people in different ways. Alan was a freeloader and never caught a break, but at the same time, Charlie was an alcoholic who got lucky by not having to work a day in his life. You didn't really hate Alan because in the earlier seasons, he acted more like a human being and it seemed like he was trying half the time. He still had his own business and cared about Jake.
When Alan was living with Walden, it's like the writers decided to make him even more of a cartoon, but it didn't work because Walden had no flaws. He was a perfect human being, and it wasn't interesting because you're just wondering why Walden doesn't kick him out. I think in the beginning, it made sense because Walden needed to grow up and become more independent, and Alan could have helped take care of him and look out for him like a big brother. But then once Walden grew up, he started treating him the same way Charlie treated him and it stopped making sense because he's just some random stranger. If you don't want Alan living there, just tell him to kick rocks and get his own place. Especially since Jake wasn't even living there anymore.
I know Charlie Sheen left them in a really bad spot because the show was making a lot of money for a lot of people, but after season nine, damn near every episode was . Even before Charlie got fired, the show wasn't that good anymore, but I never felt like I had to take a shower after watching an episode.
