That's Not What They Call It In Amsterdam is the fifth episode from the tenth season of the popular American sitcom Two and a Half Men. The episode revolves around the characters of Charlie Harper's brother, Alan, his son Jake, and their housemate Walden.
In this episode, Alan invites Walden and some of his rich, snobbish friends for a party to boost his social status. However, things don't go as planned as Jake accidentally overindulges in alcoholic beverages. Alan and Walden decide to take him to the hospital, but they're too drunk to drive. So, they call for a taxi but accidentally end up in a shady district in Los Angeles instead of the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jake starts behaving like a spoiled brat and complains about everything. Alan tries to reason with him, but it falls on deaf ears. They resolve to spend the night in a motel, waiting for the morning to take him to the hospital.
Back at the house, Walden's friends are having a good time until Berta, the Harper's housekeeper, comes in and ruins the party. She wears a ridiculous leopard-print outfit, drinks all the alcohol, and starts dancing suggestively. Walden's friends are disgusted and leave, and Walden decides to fire Berta.
Things take a turn for the worse when Berta, in reaction to being fired, threatens to tell Alan's ex-wife about his partying ways. Alan pleads with Walden to rehire Berta, and they both agree that it's for the best. The episode ends with Walden and Alan picking up Jake from the motel, after a long night of misadventures.
That's Not What They Call It In Amsterdam is classic Two and a Half Men episode, with plenty of comedy, ridiculous situations, and dramedy. Alan and Walden are trying to adjust to their new lives without Charlie, which leads to unexpected results. Jake's immaturity and the discomfort of Walden's friends with the Harper's shenanigans add to the humor.
Overall, this episode is a hilarious ride that will leave fans of the show satisfied. It continues to deliver the unique brand of comedy that Two and a Half Men is known for, and showcases the strengths of the show's main cast in situations that are both comical and relatable.
