Quote of the Day: Modern Family
From "The Kiss" (2.02):
[Claire & Phil give their parenting tips.]
Claire: Your kids don't need to know who you were before you had them. They need to know who you wish you were, and they need to try to live up to that person. They're gonna fall short, but better they fall short of the fake you than the real you.
Phil: Which is why we don't hide anything.
Claire: That is the opposite of what I just said.
Phil: I was not listening.

From "Door to Door" (3.04):
Phil: Okay, huddle up everybody. Your mother's right. She's the quarterback of this family, and we need to protect her like Blind Side did.
Luke: She just said that mom was Blind Side.
Phil: She's confused. Blind Side was the black kid who played Tight End.
Alex: Offensive Line.
Phil: Sorry, "African-American" kid.

Quote of the Day: Modern Family
I had this plan of doing Christmas quotes and videos for the week leading up to Christmas. I had quotes saved on my computer, videos bookmarked in Firefox... I was prepared! And then my computer died and now I don't have access to that stuff. But I will soldier on!
From "Express Christmas" (3.10):
Mitchell: I'll get the [Christmas] tree. Because if you get the wrong one, you know, people get upset.
Claire: You get upset.
Mitchell: I'm people.

Quote of the Day: Modern Family
From "Undeck the Halls" (1.10):
Gloria: Look, every country has their own traditions. In our culture, for example, the baby Jesus is the one that brings the gifts, not the Santa Claus.
Jay: But that doesn't make sense. How could a newborn baby carry all those presents? They don't even know where their hands are.
Manny: At least a baby can fit through a chimney!
Jay: How would you sit on the baby Jesus' lap? You'd squish it.

Adorable behind-the-scenes video from Ellen DeGeneres and Sofia Vergara's Cover Girl commercial.
The teasing about Sofia Vergara's accent made me think of this Modern Family clip:

Quote(s) of the Day: TWoP & Modern Family
I just realized that the quote I used Saturday was one I had used before -- oops! So you get two today. (Aren't you excited? Don't you feel special?)
From rianeiru on the motivator thread at Television Without Pity, regarding Top Gear:
"I just got a friend hooked on Top Gear who'd never seen it before because when she looked it up on IMDB it had the most boring description possible. I'm serious, this is IMDB's summary of Top Gear: 'Jeremy, Richard and James talk about everything car-related. From new cars to how they're fueled, this show has it all.' I mean, shouldn't it be something like 'Three insane dudes try to get each other killed in increasingly eccentric ways that very often involve a car of some kind. Oh, and the cinematography is effing GORGEOUS.'?"
And from the pilot episode of Modern Family:
"I'm the cool dad. That's my thing. I'm hip. I surf the Web. I text. LOL: laughing out loud. OMG: Oh my God. WTF: Why the face?"

From "Not in My House (1.12):
Alex: Did you draw on my poster?
Haley: Yeah, I did. Maybe you'll think about that the next time you read my journal.
Alex: I didn't read your stupid journal, and I waited in line to get this signed, Haley.
Haley: Oh, don't be such a baby. It's just some dude with weird hair.
Alex: That's Maya Angelou, you idiot.
Haley: Oh, sorry, I don't follow the WNBA.

Advertisements
I'd like to think that advertisements don't have that much sway over me. (Partly because I fast-forward through most of them!) But this commercial really makes me want to go check out Kmart:

Gloria: Good, Papi. If I can't fool you, then your teachers can't fool you either.
Manny: I don't think they're trying to fool me.

[Cameron offers to fill in for the missing drummer in Dillon's (his niece's boyfriend) band.]
Dillon: Well, you know, I totally would [let you drum], but I'm not sure we like the same sorts of music, you know?
Cameron: What, because I'm gay I'm just going to want to play showtunes?
Dillon: No, because you're old.
Cameron: [pause] Wow. That hurt more, Dillon.
