Getting Over Hump Day + My Addiction to TV Show Modern Family

in Random Funny 19 Comments

I like to refer to Wednesday’s as my gauntlet days. I’m in an out of meetings, desperately wishing that the projects on my desk would go away and I’m confined to a little room only to hear about the top 10 reasons why what we’re doing as managers falls short. After these heartening pep talks and a day that drags on until way past dinnertime I need a little pick-me-up.

Enter hilarious tv show Modern Family on Wednesday nights that features three generations of a family, each so vastly unique and funny that I roll on the floor laughing. Well, not literally, because I can’t eat my frozen yogurt with 1000 calories worth of toppings where the dogs can get me. {I can’t believe my healthy desert choice isn’t making my waistline smaller!!!…as I told my doctor when I got on the scale, “I DEMAND A RECOUNT!}.

Modern Family is shot in a mock-u-mentary style, similar to The Office, and When Harry Met Sally. What makes this show so hysterical is that each vignette of these three families is so relatable that you can’t help but be laugh and wince at the same time. You have the head patriarch that is married to the much younger Latina woman who also happens to have a young, chubby son who’s daydream’s rival the dramatics of a Danielle Steele novel. The two other families in the show feature his daughter who is married and has three children and his son who is in a committed partnership with the man who has otherwise stolen my heart…or Cameron as he is referred to in the show. You all know how much I heart gay men. So while I snuggle up with Mrs. Easy Peasy (Kindle) and try to decompress from my week this is what I do when when I’m not on Twitter.

Psst I have a major guy crush on Cam, my dream guy (yes my dream guy is gay).

Some of my favorite quotes from the Cam

(Committed Partners Mitchtell and Cameron)

Michtell : (Mitchell and Cam trying to befriend their adoptive daughter’s doctor so that according to Cam, they will have a friend on the inside who has access to Tamiflu)

“Take it down a notch. We’re just trying to make a friend not initiate a three-way.

 

Cam: My dream for him is that one day, he’ll be on the Supreme Court.

Mitchell: Why Cam?

Cam: So at parties I can tell people my partner is one of the Supremes.

 

Cameron: I got all medieval on the florists.

Mitchell: Cam, I heard you on the phone you said you were displeased, but that’s hardly going medieval.

Cameron: Excuse me, I said very displeased and I used my cowboy voice.

 

What do you watch while trying to getting over hump day?

  1. I have never watched that show..but those quotes are cracking me up!!! I will have to tune in next Wed :) I think the only show that makes me laugh is The Office.

  2. Just dropping in to say hi honey!!! Hope all is going well!

  3. @Mandi this is your kind of show. Trust me. Cameron is hilarious, his little quips and mannerisms crack me up.

    @Cecile *waves* Hi Ceclile

  4. I love this show! I loved the Costco episode. I died laughing b/c that was so me when I first went to Costco. :P
    Also loved when he dressed up like a clown. Or the splash down moment. *wipes tear from eye* Ahh, good times. good times.

  5. I am obsessed with Modern Family!!!! I love Phil and Cam the best. Do you remember the episode when they locked Lily in the car, and Cam started losing his mind and shrieking like a girl? He said he was going to break the window. LMAO.

    That LOLcats pic is great. I should print it out and give it to my boss! We have the most boring meetings EVER!

  6. @Queen B I love when Cam accidentally locks Lily (baby) in the car. He freaks out and almost shatters the window with a garbage can, when suddenly that onstar thingy unlocks the car. Cam says, ” Wow did they just do that from space?”

  7. @Stephthebookworm OMG I died laughing when Phil did the dance steps to high school musical. I just died. Cam is so funny, I love when Lily accidentally says Mama and to gay parents that is like the worst thing. He was so overly dramatic. I heart him.

    This show makes any bad day go away. I laughed so hard when Cameron and Mitchell call 911 so that the hot firemen will come. Cam is carrying Lily in a baby bjorn while taking a photo of Mitchell being carried away in some hot fireman’s arms. Hysterical.
    My favorite Cam quote:”I’m sort of like Costco — I’m big, I’m not fancy, and I dare you to not like me.” — Cameron

  9. I LOVE Modern Family! I started watching the show when Glee went on hiatus. I then went back at watched the first 3 episodes online. The show is hilarious. I love Manny. He’s an old man trapped in a little boy’s body. I <3 Cam also. I loved it when they introduced Lily to the family and they were playing the music from the Lion King! Whoever came up with that is a genius!

    I also watch Cougar Town. It's suprisingly funny; not because of Courtney Cox but the supporting cast. Her character is annoying.

  10. @K how did I miss that episode? Crap I need to watch ‘em on ABC. I really want to see the one with Edward Nortan. BTW I’m getting that Costco quote on a T-Shirt.

    @marquetta I haven’t seen Glee, but I hear its really good. Me and Youtube have a date tonight :)

    I’ve heard so many great things about this show and still haven’t managed to catch a single episode. I will definitely catch up on DVD. Thanks for the great quotes!

  12. Me and hubs love this show – my fav was when Cam was dressed up as a clown and defended Mitchell’s honor when he was getting harassed by the guy at the gas station..or when Cam and Lily were watching Scarface together..I have so many favs of Cam..he is so funny!

  13. Ok, I really have to watch this show now-my sisters keep harassing me about not watching it. I’ll take the plunge this week.

  14. @gilesmarie I find myself on abc’s website watching all the episodes to get my fix in-between Wednesday.

    @Heather I need to watch that episode!! I really want to see the with Edward Nortan

    @Colette prepare yourself to snort out loud with laughter.
