Is Phil Dunphy Your Favorite Character Too?!

by Marie on April 16, 2010

Tell me I’m not the only one obsessed with Modern Family! Phil is probably my favorite character, he has so many great one-liners. I think I laugh at him so much because I’m that same goofy parent he is, thinking I’m super hip and cool! Here’s a video all about Phil that sums him up perfectly, (via No Biggie).

Thank you to the creators of Modern Family for bringing us the hilarity of these “modern families”.

You’re not the only one. My husband and I quote that show more than any other on tv these days. “I’m gonna fix that step.” My favourite though is Cameron. He kills me.

Mitchell: No slapping your butt.
Cameron: But that’s how I make my horsey go.

This show is one of our new favorites, along with Parenthood. I love Phil Dunphy but also Gloria – the things she says (with her thick accent) crack me up!!

LOVE that show!

“It is like God and Steve Jobs got together to give me a birthday present!

Gloria is great too. This week I loved Claire when she totally embarrassed Alex on purpose because Alex was trying to manipulate her! LOVED IT!

Love this show! I don’t even know why- it’s hard to quantify it but it’s brilliant whatever it is.

Love Modern Family. Great writers, great actors.

I liked it when Cam thought there was an intruder and turned into Mr. Macho, saying “It’s go time” and grabbing the bat while his partner grabbed a magazine.

Seriously peed my pants when he introduced his biceps as Captain and Tenille.

We love this show too! Each week my husband and I change who our favorite character is. Currently, Phil IS the one we are liking best. Next week, Manny will probably pull ahead!

I guess the fact that I don’t get this program means I’m Officially Old.

Boy, doesn’t that suck?

I LOVE this show! I forgot to pay the bill to add ABC to our Dish network (it is extra) and missed the last few episodes. It seems much harder to find good sitcoms, but this one is great!.

Cameron is one of my favorites, Phil is a bit too close to my husband…

Phil in the Christmas episode was sort of the definition of my husband’s parenting style.

Could it be more funny?! Phil is the best! His lines, timing, physical comedy you name it, it’s hilarious! My sister met him (not Phil, the actor) ;) on a flight, and said he is as great as any interview you might have seen.

The best 30 minutes of our week!!
Each time I try to pick a favorite character, I seem to think of another one who tops him/her. My husband and I laugh outloud this brilliant show!

Oh my goodness, yes! I blogged the walking-stick bit once. There are so many episodes to love. My husband and I agree that this is one of the best shows ever made and we hope it doesn’t get canceled. All the shows we love always end up canceled!

Yay, more fans! And I too love all the characters, choosing a new favorite each week!

I also forgot to mention that Phil Dunphy (the actor) actually lives part time in Utah! Right in Salt Lake City. So you know I’m going to be driving the streets looking for a dude with a fake mustache and using walking-sticks!! http://www.sltrib.com/features/ci_13910925

I loved the episode with the Van Gogh project and the cupcakes. I totally had a Claire moment the other day when my daughter had to make an eco-system diorama for her 4th grade class. It took everything I had not to take over the glue gun. Love that show.
