Chuck Lorre looks at the audience and exclaims "Winning!" after a piano falls over "Charlie", just when a second piano is about to fall on him. Critics were mixed as this was an anti-climatic ending while also praising its self referential comedy.

"Of Course He's Dead" is the two-part series finale of the long-running American sitcom Two and a Half Men, which ran for 12 seasons. The episode aired on CBS on February 19, 2015, as an hour-long program, and serves as the 15th and the 16th episode of the twelfth season and the 261st and the 262nd episode of the series overall.[2] The episode, written by series creators Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn, along with Don Reo and Jim Patterson, and directed by James Widdoes, had the show's largest audience since April 2013, with 13.52 million viewers watching the episode, along with a 3.2 rating/9% share in the 18–49 demographic.[3][4][5][6] In this episode, Alan Harper discovers that his brother Charlie, presumed to have been killed in a train accident in the ninth season premiere, has a fortune in unclaimed royalties. He eventually gathers enough evidence to confirm that Charlie is still alive and is planning a grand act of revenge. Former cast members Angus T. Jones, April Bowlby and Jennifer Taylor make cameo appearances.
