There are sitcom moments… and then there are Alan Harper moments.
And this one? Absolutely legendary.
Picture this: It’s a regular morning, everyone’s probably trying to have coffee or read the paper — and then there’s Alan… cradling a toilet seat like it just whispered the meaning of life.
No dialogue needed. Just pure, confused, deeply Virgo-coded focus.
You can literally feel him thinking:
“This… this is craftsmanship. This is balance. This… was $29.99 at Home Depot.”
Only Alan could make examining a toilet seat look like he’s contemplating the universe. The man treats plumbing hardware with the same intensity most people save for family therapy.
And let’s be honest — we’ve all had those moments where we zone out mid-task and question every life decision that led us there.
Alan just does it while holding a toilet seat at the breakfast table.
The dedication. The confusion. The quiet existential crisis.
This scene is sitcom gold — and a reminder that Alan Harper is lowkey one of the most accidentally hilarious characters on TV.
