1. Charlie Sheen - Two & A Half Men
If you were to look up the single most brutal way to kill somebody off - on a sitcom no less - then you've probably lived under a rock for the last two years because this one incident has given comedians enough fodder to last two stand up specials and there's really no excuse to not remember this. Back in 2011, Charlie Sheen suffered a very public firing from his hit CBS series Two & A Half Men due to an ongoing feud with the show's executive producer Chuck Lorre. A tirade of antisemitic insults laced with vulgarity that might even make Malcolm Tucker cringe was followed by accusations of everybody being a troll and how the warlock Sheen has the blood of a tiger and the DNA of an Adonis. Basically, Charlie Sheen was the Amanda Bynes of 2011 except Sheen's meltdown was much more public, and you could actually pay to see it onstage at his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour, which was of course a colossal flop. Seriously, you really paid to see the guy get heckled not to watch him talk. Since Sheen's last mania, however, all has been quiet and Sheen has announced that he is seeking treatment for substance abuse among other vices and that he basically has no idea what he was thinking when he gave those interviews. That didn't stop Lorre, however, from claiming fair game, announcing immediately after Sheen's firing that Charlie Harper would perish in the new season. He didn't, however, tell us that Charlie Sheen would be pushed in front of a moving train by his crazy new fiancee and former stalker, Rose, and would explode in front of the train "like a balloon full of meat." Wow. Do not cross Chuck "Chaim Levine" Lorre.
There's bound to be other great ones that I missed! Sound off in the comments below!
