Ep 20. I Always Wanted a Shaved Monkey

I Always Wanted a Shaved Monkey is the 20th episode of the second season of the popular sitcom Two and a Half Men. This episode revolves around Charlie's romantic pursuits and his encounter with a woman named Sherri who sets out to seduce him.

The episode begins with Charlie in bed with his latest conquest, Sherri. While Sherri tries to get him to commit to a relationship, Charlie is hesitant as he does not want to be tied down. As they converse, Sherri mentions that she has a pet monkey that she wants to have shaved, and she asks Charlie if he could help her out. Charlie agrees to help, and they make plans to meet the next day to take care of the monkey.

The next morning, Alan drops Jake off at Charlie's house on his way to work. Jake is excited to see the monkey and asks if he can come along to see it get shaved. Charlie is hesitant, but Sherri agrees to let Jake join them.

After arriving at Sherri's house, the trio is introduced to the monkey named Baby. Sherri explains that Baby is very difficult to handle and has to be sedated before he can be shaved. She gives Charlie a syringe filled with a sedative and tells him to inject Baby when it is time.

As Charlie prepares to inject the monkey, he accidentally injects himself with the sedative. He immediately begins to feel the effects and becomes drowsy and slurred in his speech. While they try to shave the monkey, Charlie falls asleep and begins to dream about life with Sherri.

In his dream, Charlie sees Sherri as his wife, and he loves his life with her. However, his dream takes a dark turn when he discovers that Sherri is having an affair with his brother Alan. Charlie wakes up in a panic and realizes it was all a dream.

After waking up, Charlie finds that Sherri has left to take care of some business. He decides to take advantage of her absence and quickly leaves with Jake. On their way out, they run into Sherri's ex-husband, who threatens Charlie if he ever sees him with Sherri again.

Back at Charlie's house, Alan returns from work and questions Charlie about his day. Charlie brushes him off and goes to bed, exhausted from the sedative. The episode ends with Alan questioning why Charlie is so tired, and Jake revealing that they shaved a monkey earlier in the day.

Overall, I Always Wanted a Shaved Monkey is a funny episode that highlights the comedic talents of the show's cast. Charlie's dream sequence provides a humorous twist, and the inclusion of the monkey adds an element of physical comedy to the episode. While it is not one of the show's most memorable episodes, it offers a lighthearted and entertaining look into the lives of Charlie, Alan, and Jake.
