That time Eddie Van Halen appeared on Two And A Half Men exiting a bathroom with his guitar

Charlie Sheen's long-running NBC comedy series Two And A Half Men featured its fair share of cameo appearances from stars playing themselves. Over the years, Elvis Costello, ZZ Top, Steven Tyler, Harry Dean Stanton, Christian Slater and Sean Penn all appeared on the show. But no one delivered a more memorable splash than the late, great Eddie Van Halen.

Van Halen's cameo comes in the opening episode of the seventh series, in an episode titled 818-jklpuzo, which aired on September 21, 2009. The legendary guitarist finds himself thrust into an unlikely plot where Charlie's former fiancé Mia is keen to embark on a singer career, a plan hampered only by her clear lack of ability.

It's a situation that causes Charlie so much stress he becomes constipated, a situation that only resolves itself when the pair visit a recording studio, where Charlie is finally able to tell Mia that her voice is awful. He quickly retreats to the bathroom, eager to ease his long-standing blockage, but the door is locked.

Exit Eddie Van Halen, a Frankenstein-striped EVH Wolfgang guitar slung casually around his neck.
