I love the scene where after Haley has the twins, everyone is in the room seeing the babies but Phil goes to Haley and checks on her. It’s such a subtle moment but so sweet.
It's ridiculous that Claire pretends to be happy when she finds out her worst nightmare is true - Dylan knocking up Haley.
@@andrewq159 …she was happy for her adult daughter who had children safely. pretty realistic. you are clearly not a mother lol
@@wordsandstuff Realistic to be delighted at her worst nightmare coming true?!
There aren't any female Andrews, so obviously I'm not a mother.
@@andrewq159when you have kids a lot of things don't matter anymore as long as they're ok. When your kids have kids it's that same exhale times a million.
@@andrewq159I worked at a bar with a girl named Andrew...drew for short but I think she started off as a man in life.
that "do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?" moment from Gloria was absolutely amazing writing, directing and acting.
This spoke to a lot of immigrants and children of immigrants. Sometimes people judge one based on their ability to communicate on a foreign language, not even realizing this means they are able to speak multiple languages to begin with.
Alex’s meltdown and her conversation with the Psychiatrist hit me the most. Being the child who was constantly under pressure to perform well and always scrutinised if ever I failed, the feeling of not fitting in, being lonely and no one able to understand what I was going through made me relate to Alex so much in that episode. Modern Family is the best show. Period.
You have glasses too. Don't forget about the glasses! They really bring it all together.
@tornadochaser2457 hahahaha
Alex was the most relatable person for me as well..... She just needed her family to understand her! That's it! It seems easy but it was so so so complicated and hurtful.....
@@amritadey6575yes that is very true. I’m sure so many ppl including myself connect with that pressure and it’s sooo reliving to see it in a light like this
I really disliked Alex since that episode. Took her seasons to get me to like her again
19:53 This scene breaks my heart everytime. When Phil asks if Frank wished he had another son to take the up family business, Frank replies, "You did take over the family business. Didnt you? Making life light, making it fun for everybody."
When I saw the scene on the arguing couple in the car as Phil and Frank asked for a ride then it transitioned into a joyful trip as they sang along to the tune of Sweet Caroline, I knew the episode was going to end with a heavy news of death. This is a superb and wonderful writing in using a sequence of happy moments before leading to a death in the end. Phil's delivery in his monologue even made the blow hit harder.
Omg that episode… I was not expecting Phil’s monologue to end with frank passing😭
Jay’s words to Mitchell “I don’t get it, but if that’s who you are don’t you dare be ashamed of it”
And he said that 😂😂when Mitch told him that he wants to become a lawyer lol😂😂
I almost cried 3 times during this show
1. When Mitchell broke down after being denied the 2nd baby. Cam is always the one with more emotions but seeing Mitchell express his feelings was really mesmerizing.
2. When Alex hugged Claire and broke down, I literally felt her loneliness throught the screen. She was one character who was always okay outside but in the inside, she was broken.
3. Alex's tribut to her grandma Grace. Absolutely wholesome.
Jay asking Mitch if he wants to take a stroll at the wedding was Modern Family’s “Do it for Her” moment. Even the toughest of tough guys had the waterworks that episode.
Foreshadowing ?
Cried my eyes out 🥲
One of my absolute favorite moments!!
This is one of my favourite modern sitcoms, I love that they're not afraid to let their characters be vulnerable, especially the males.
I haven’t seen every episode, but the ones I have seen from the early seasons were actually really funny and serious when needed to be
@@Omar-wq9dz Like many long-running sitcoms, it goes downhill badly in its later years.
@@andrewq159 but weirdly modern family doesnt do that, althought it does goes downhill but it super slow and the ending is great, at least it better than the show last season 8
I love everytime Jay is a Father for Manny, especialy when Manny has a senior girlfriend who uses him to get back an ex, Jay consoling him in the end of that episode is amazing. Also Manny graduating is great.
Under Pressure is one of my favorite episodes of the show because of how relatable it feels. Alex has such an understandable breakdown, learns a lot about herself in therapy, and then she and Claire have a great moment just by Claire showing empathy and realizing she should have been doing more!
It’s a touching but powerful episode!
That episode makes me cry every time! I love it!
I bawled the first time I saw it, and I get teary remembering it. I think that moment speaks to any "smart kid" who had to hide all their struggles because everyone just assumed they did well just because they were smart.
Phil’s Father dying hurt even more after Fred Willard passed away a couple months after that episode aired..😢
Modern Family received a few criticisms for doing yet another parental death story, but that episode was as much a farewell to Fred Willard as anything else. One of the best tributes any series has ever done.
@@54raynor When you say another - Are you talking about Phil's mum, or Dede? Dede is what I expect, given the close time period.
If you react like that to the deaths of fictional & real octogenarians, how do you react when young people die unnaturally?
@@andrewq159what the heck is this comment? Are you asking how someone would react to the real tragic death of a child given that they didn't have a strong enough reaction to the fictional death of a fictional grandparent? What kind of weird question is that?
I’m referring to the death of Phil’s dad. And part of the reason they wanted to do the episode is that it was clear that Fred Willard’s health was in decline and this episode was their final tribute.
as the family's "gifted child", the scene where alex finally breaks down in front of claire always brings me to tears every single time i watch it
I don't know if a lot of people feel this too, but Jay walking Mitch down the aisle is one of the most emotional scenes of Modern family. Jay was the best character on the show. He became accepting and loved his son for himself and it's safe to say that not a lot of people in the previous generation can do that ❤
When Jay learns spanish in secret to prepare going to Colombia
Only a bit & it's one of the world's easiest languages to learn.
@@andrewq159english Is a lot easier to learn to be honest
@@VaaleBeetancurG No, Romance languages are the easiest to learn.
@@andrewq159nah english literally has like 5 verb tenses (ate, eat, will eat, would eat and have eaten), and you use the same verb for i, you, we, you, they without any change and for she/he it just adds an "s", words dont have gender so you just use "the" for every word, and words overall keeps the same structure and hardly ever changes while in spanish, italian, french, etc the verb's termination changes for everything all the time, you have to learn every words gender so you can use correctly the article + the 20 different verb tenses lmao trust me, English is the easiest language to learn. That is why in most european countries where english is their second language youll find people fluently replying to you in english while in the us almost no one can even say a sentence in spanish even though they studied it at school too
@@heyafindfun They learn English because it's by far the most widely spoken language. It's far easier for a Czech to learn Polish or for an Italian to learn Spanish.
When Jay cries, it always reminds me of when my Dad cries. Unexpected and out of nowhere because he puts on such a tough front all the way until that first tear. So, of course, I cry every time!
That is my dad to a tee❤
All of the scenes mentioned were so good and important but Alex's meltdown was a pivotal moment for me. It made me take a look at myself and realize that my behaviors and the pressure I was putting myself under for school, extracurriculars, relationships, achievement, etc.- similar to Alex- were not healthy. Just two days before watching it, I had a complete meltdown in my car when my Dutch order was wrong. (I didn't yell at a worker or anything- just parked and rage cried for a moment over basically nothing.) I went to therapy because I saw myself in that opening scene and though I rarely cried- and, for some strange reason, prided myself on scarcely showing emotion- I was in tears by the end of that episode.
So, if you are struggling like Alex was, do yourself the biggest favor and go to therapy. And if you can't afford therapy- start a journal. You are like a pressure cooker and you need to make sure that lid doesn't blow or you'll end up hurting not only yourself, but the people around you as well. I wish you the best! Have a great day and a wonderful rest of your week!
I hope Ty Burrell got an Emmy for that whole “that’s my little girl” monologue.
I’ve watched that whole episode and just that scene so many times and damn man, the waterworks fire off every single time
Jays moments are very emotional 😢😢.
He is a tough man but still has a noble heart.
1:19 his sacrifice for Disneyland
1:36 he cares for manny
8:58 Jays Navy tradition
12:50 Jay in family therapy
15:59 Mother’s Day
16:45 taking manny to Disneyland
18:53 Ex-Wife death
When all the old gays have body image issues at the pool party. I'm not even gay but that's one issue overlooked.
the ending scene of the episode where phil's mother dies never fails to make me bawl my eyes out, the letter alex read out was just beautiful.
"....He had to know, right?"
Instant Emotional Breakdown 😭
Sometimes when your step dad calls you “ my kid” it means the world
Alex's meltdown hands down the most emotional for me
damn i actually teared up a little when jay talked about his mom and dad
3 of the scenes that make me cry every time are when Jay breaks down in front of the other couples at therapy, when Alex breaks down at her birthday party, and Phil's "that's my little girl" speech. I love this show because it can make me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time
I don’t think there will ever be a character as well written as Jay
The fact neither of the Dumphy kids were at the funeral still bothers me. Even Sarah Hyland was baffled they left them out of the funeral scene.
I just love Modern Family. Its my favorite sitcom and i enjoy the many moments of it.
One of the best sitcoms
This is more reality than those so called reality shows.
jay's navy tradition was such a heartfelt moment, it became so emotional as jay's emotions were so much related to ours as well. In literature it is referred to as objective corelative and I felt that for myself too.
What should be on this list is learning that DD was a gas lighting narcissist. While most of her appearances were "dark comedy" to say the least, realizing that she was so selfish she tried to make Jay and Gloria's wedding about herself is a very serious thing on a family comedy. Her funeral was better than she deserved from the family she damaged so horribly
I firmly believe that Dede was at LEAST mentally or verbally abusive to Jay. Especially since when he talks to cam’s dad at the spa, he says divorcing her was the hardest thing he’s ever had to do but he was so happy he did it because it made him free. The way he says the line almost made him seem scared of the thought of what if he didn’t. It’s blatantly explained multiple times in the show that Dede has mental illness issues (I’d be willing to bet bipolar) but that line has always made me think that Dede was probably abusive to jay. Just probably not directly in front of the kids
@@3nd0fr3gss8,Dede is a product of feminism beyond measure. Right down to openly gaslighting so that "her truth" is the loudest "voice". Claire being so hard on Haley because she was terrified that she was going to end up like Dede, while Alex by the final season *_really realized_* her grandmother was the villain in every situation she was involved it.
It was the most relatable show on television, so it was always getting real.
If someone in the show doesn't remind you of someone you know then you simply don't know enough people
“Philsophy” is the perfect blend of Phil’s caring parent and wacky side. Later on I feel like he regresses as a parent and partner but those random quotes really get me for some reason
i was crying while watching this compilation T_T
Me too! Now I need to rewatch!
One of the few shows that I loved so much I purchased the whole series
One thing I want to tell my fellow gay brothers is it takes time. Remember this is a TV show where everything gets wrapped up nicely in a bow. I'll never forget my dad calling me a "f*ggot" and how I've literally been stabbed before in my life, and that didn't hurt even nearly as much. Today my father is the kind of man who shuts people down when they make fun of gay people, but that didn't happen overnight. There was A LOT of screaming. A LOT of therapy. A LOT of hate and anger. We're not the same anymore, either of us. My dad is still the man who raised me, and I love him very much, but I've learned being old now, that in his own way, he was trying to love me too, the best way he knew how. He's on his last legs, but he's still my dad, and that's A LOT.
Loved this show, and thank you for representing us in a way where we not only fit into the straight world, we can make it better too.
Omg I’m so happy for u 🥹I’m not crying my eyes are watering.
Even though i don't watch Modern Family, this was a great top to start off this week. Happy monday morning, Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
When Claire insulted Dylan Felt so sorry for him
What episode was that?
I can't remember exactly but it was during a family cermoney because he drove them all in a van.@@anthonypena5046
@@anthonypena5046every episode he's in
To Claire, Dylan is like a boomerang that keeps coming back in Haley’s life again and again and again.
@@anthonypena5046 she hates him because he's different.
Awesome countdown!!!
Me crying for half of the video..😭♥️
Haley calling her parents back and saying goodbye is what hit me the most cause at the time I was watching the series and this episode came along I also had just started my college and moved away from my home....and while watching that scene, it completely broke me....I was sobbing my eyes out
That was a good release. Needed this. Love modern family to bits.
Me balling my eyes out watching this video 😭😭
Ty Msmojo for this Video absolutely love modern family, one of my favourite shows
"Feelings you say" always gets me teary eyed .. always... actually most of Jay's scenes gets me emotional.
Phil's dad dying makes me tear up based on what phil said
the scene where Jay said he has emotions despite not crying alot about his dad dying hits me hord. (8)
I cried through watching it and again watching this now 😢
Number 12, the Irish Bar in the garage was the best Moment in the whole season
the baby jesus scene is quality lol
even its not sad or something special when Haley gave her reasons on why choosing Dylan over Arvin and Dylan response to her that he loves messes really showed that he will always love her for what she is and she doesnt have to change around him was beautiful thats when Dylan convinced me he was the one all along for Haley
I really relate to Haley when it comes to college. I went to college over an hour or so away from home. That first day I had in college after my parents left. Was rough, High School was over, I lost a majority of my friends and never felt more alone. Long story short, I made it through one year and returned to my hometown. What I like is that it shows how they both knew it wasn’t working out for them and realized what they wanted to do instead of just going with whatever other people say was best for them. They thought for themselves.
God I just never understand the hate for people with multiple languages! Insane! It takes A LOT to be able to do that!
When I lived in Europe I was getting internet for my place one day and I had a 8 year old translate for me to the workers. It was amazing and embarrassing. The kid spoke flawless English even though they were in their own country. Experiences like that really open your mind and grant the empathy perk.
Jay is the heart of the show
for me the one that felt the most real was phils dad dying. When i watched that episode it was about a year after my dad committed suicide and i just felt phils pain so much, especially when he said 'we didnt do much that day but it was one of the best days i every had with my dad, i just didnt know it would be the last'. I feel this so much coz forr me some of my best memory of my dad wasnt going out doing and doing stuff, the memories that mean more are from when we used to just lay down on the bed and watch tv togther. i just wish that I knew the last time we did that, that it was the last time we ever would. Its kinda similar to one of my favourite line from the office, in the final episode when andy says "I wish there was a way to know you're in 'the good old days', before you've actually left them""
nombre 9 when Alex cry to her mother makes me tear up every time
Thank you
You're welcome
i love the ending scene of “Snip” season 4 i think. Its claire overhearing alex and haley talk over the computer and her hearing that haley misses her and then luke gives her a rose
I love this show
I’ve never watched this show fully but just by watching this video it’s definitely changed my mind 😳
i like the clips, but kinda sad that you cut out so much of the convos :/
Phil’s dad (also the actor) died because he was one of the best things that happened to Phil.
For me red alert made me cry. Cam n mitch cant seem to help Lily eoth what she is going thru. Mitch made me tear up.
Not me crying for almost all of the videos
I had to watch this video before watching all seasons, I just start season 2 and now I'm prepared to what's coming!
We need more series like this and young sheldon 🫶🏻
Damn i love this show.
18:53 bro alex got caked up omg!!!
I love Jay
When jay took too much medicine and talked about kids growing up was very emotional
Modern Family was a really good show, maybe it went on for a little to long but it is a great show overall
Hey, remember "Ed" from the 2000s? Julie Bowen, Tom Kavanagh, Justin Long?
For me it’s…
1. Jay crying remembering his mother
2. Phil protecting Haley from dating the long- haired middle-aged man
3. Jay talking about feelings at family therapy
4. Mitchell being vulnerable after facing rejection with the second baby
5. Haley saying goodbye to her parents from college dorm.
6. Alex breaking down after her session with the psychiatrist.
7. Phil yelling at Haley after her getting arrested.
Wait. What was the moment for Jay in number 11? When he talks to Phil during the storm?
One of Jays friends from the army passed away and they all had a tradition that whenever one died they would go to the nearest pub and toast to them silently that's why he was trying so hard to leave the house
THANK YOU - it was killing me!! I never watched the show, partly cos I was afraid of too many feels, so I just copped them all in one countdown, and then this answer was left hanging but so incredibly perfectly,but I HAD TO KNOW!!!!
@@NatalyamatthewsNavy not Army
This video is mission just one scene, I think its season 11, when J gets drugged and talks about raising kids. I love that scene sooo much
The Jay about his father one.....
Just the mention of it, before even playing it.....
19:42 are we all going to ingnore that a random man just smacked kisses onto babys faces
Is it just me crying while watch it
Nope! 😢
My own parents call me lazy cause all I really did besides chores school and work was watch tv. I was born 2002. (Yeah I know, “you’re so young”. Be quiet I wish I was born 1940 and dead now…ANYWAY) This show came out when I was 7. So I grew up on this show and didn’t watch it in full till it ended. And I have like 10 shows I'll rotate through over and over. modern family is one. im not lazy. im happy. im still v active. but at home i put on my show and im happy. Modern Family is comedy peak. but also. i got to experience grandparents when i never had any. i got to see my sexuality being acknowledged, knock it didnt have any of my own. i got to see love from all races at a young age. i got to see supportive parents. And learn lessons I could never from my own parents. I got to feel understood cause of Alex and her pressure. I got to have the childhood I couldn’t have in reality
feelings
What did he say in the garage
So ive actually mever seen modern family but my mom and brother used to watch it all the time, i know tht towards the end of the series haley ends up pregnant, in what episode does she find out. Ive been trying to find that exact episode but information on the exact episode title
I think it's "Did the chicken cross the road?" (Series 10 episode 7)
this all video should have a trigger warning for the feels
The scene where Jay is drugged up and explains how a kids goes from toddler to prepubescent and so on and finally leave.. thats where i broke down!!!
this would have been so much better without narration
Jake staying married and unhappy for the sake of his childlren demonstarted a character too few adults seem possessed of these days. Why do adults think they have a right to be happy?
When the were supportive of Haley when she was pregnant, that was not real
after rewatching the show Alex is my lease favorite
Ancient Family 🪹
So annoying that this channel shows almost nothing of these scenes and just keeps talking over it
Are you all noticing that for most of the parts it's Jay
🧞🧑🏫📽️
Please stop talking just put the scenes, your voice ruins everything, it takes all the emotions out of the scene
I'm on season 5 but I hate Clair she always has to be right and she treats phil like shit
She will get better :)
@@nargizaslanova6849 I'm on season 7 now and she's still the same.
@@thomasellis9608she never gets better

Urgent emergency please join me in prayer for all those affected children families animals deadly earthquake in Afghanistan they desperately need your prayers please pray for them God bless you all 🙏
Grace is only mentioned in one ep (after her death) & never seen. Her family acting like they were close to her & devastated by her natural death is ridiculous.
Just because the character never appeared on screen doesn’t mean the other characters didn’t interacted with her offscreen and cam state she always sends Christmas cards and even lost part of her thumb getting a photo of a crocodile
@@wojtek1765 Millions of people send Christmas cards to people whom they rarely or never see.
The natural death of an octogenarian is far from tragic. It's bizarre to have that as #1.
It’s not a list for most tragic events, its a list of when the show got, they’re trying to highlight the losing of a loved one and in this case Frank Dunphy who was the most loved rec curing character on the show
@@vatsal_agar Who says he's the most loved?
Dude why are you everywhere in the comments trying so hard to undermine moments from a tv show??
@@elrose171 I'm writing relevant comments. If you find the natural death of a real or fictional octogenarian tragic, you're being ridiculous.
@@elrose171desperate need for attention.
just stop with the voice-overs !!!!!!!!!! Let us just enjoy the moments without the female voice in every 10 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As i watched the entire series i always felt like the only reason why she constantly put so much stress on herself to be smart was because of the ridiculous concept of women having to either be pretty or smart and the idea that they couldn't be both ( which in my honest opinion changed for the better as soon as Michelle Obama became the first lady because she was both)
