He eventually collected 333 of his split-second messages (including the censored ones) and compiled them into a big coffee-table book with a title stolen from his very first Dharma & Greg card: What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Bitter.
The cards contained Lorre's philosophy of life, his failings, his kids, his health and he even wrote his own 457-word eulogy. That one was actually censored by the network censors. Like "Cockamamie, kumquat, insertion, rectify, gherkin, titter, Dick Butkus and the always bewildering lickety-split." Still another listed the words that confuse the CBS censors. And sadly, no, I'm not talking about our stunt man."Ĭlearly, he wasn't above taking a jab at his leading man, Charlie Sheen.Īnother card just said: "Nothing to read here. Please keep in mind that we employ a highly-paid Hollywood professional who has years of experience with putting his life at risk. Despite the seeming lack of serious consequences and regardless of the hilarity that ensued, this is extremely dangerous behaviour that could result in injury or death.

And he said when the network reads this card, he was going to be in big trouble.Ĭard #412 at the end of Two and a Half Men said: He said what doesn't kill us, makes us bitter. He believed beer was a gateway drug that lead to vodka. He said Larry was the most underrated of the Three Stooges. "Thanks for videotaping Dharma & Greg and for freeze framing on my video card." Then he went on to muse that the Law of Karma didn't apply to people in Hollywood because good things happen to bad people all the time.
Here's the very first card Lorre wrote for the end of the first Dharma & Greg episode. As a matter of fact, he wrote those one-second cards at the end of all the sitcoms he created beginning in 1995 - including Grace Under Fire, Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly and Dharma & Greg. Lorre wrote a different message at the end of every single episode of The Big Bang Theory.
