As cute as he is clueless, Phil Dunphy brings the laughs with every episode of Modern Family. An entire book could probably be created just from the hilarious things he says (oh wait, there’s that fantastic Phil’s-osophy book). Take a look below at the Top 10 Phil-isms.1. “Always keep the rhythm in your feet and a little party in your shoulders.”
2. “When life gives you lemonade, make lemons. Life will be all like ‘Whaaat?!’”
3. “If you love something, set it free… unless it’s a tiger.”
4. “I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers; it turns out I’m one of them. It’s a miracle I didn’t end up a stripper.”
5. “I’ve always said that if my son thinks of me as one of his idiot friends, I’ve succeeded as a dad.”
6. “The most amazing things that can happen to a human being will happen to you, if you just lower your expectations”
7. “Claire likes to say ‘you can be part of the problem or part of the solution.’ But, I happen to believe you can be both.”
8. “I am brave. Roller coasters? Love 'em. Scary movies? I've seen Ghostbusters like 7 times. I regularly drive through neighborhoods that have only recently been gentrified. So yeah I am pretty much not afraid of anything.”
9. “Always look people in the eye, even if they’re blind. Just say ‘I’m looking you in the eye.’”
10. “A Realtor's just a ninja in a blazer. The average burglar breaks in and leaves clues everywhere. But not me. I'm completely clueless.”
