Modern family jays gay friend
RECAP: Modern Family, “Mystery Date”
Look at that confront. So eager. So lovable. So, so stupid.
“1984, it’s caring of a privileged number for me. It’s the year Footloose came out.” — Phil Dunphy
Ty Burell and guest star Matthew Broderick steal the show but are surrounded by stale subplots.
The Dunphys
Phil’s home alone for the weekend while Claire, Alex, Manny and Luke leader to Alex’s academic competition. Alex won the whole thing last year and Claire’s trying not to be the proud mama, but she can’t aid it. When Alex loses, Claire realizes she’s living part of herself through her daughter and they reconcile.
Phil’s enjoying his time at home by wiring the entire dwelling to his iPad. He goes to the gym to work out and finds a buddy named Dave, played by Matthew Broderick. Broderick’s character, unbeknownst to Phil, is gay, and is friends with Cam. Clueless Phil invites Dave over to hang out and Dave — impoverished Dave, who’s just gotten out of a relationship — thinks it’s a date. Cam urges Dave on.
Everything plays out just perfectly. Phil is so out of it that

Season 3, Episode 7 – Aired November 2 2011
Hanging out with Shorty (Chazz Palminteri) and his girlfriend, Darlene (Jennifer Tilly), makes Gloria envious of how much those two do as a couple, so she gives Jay an ultimatum to step it up for a night of salsa dancing or else.

I very much enjoyed Jay's drinking experience, but there is something that nags me just a bit. In the past, we have seen Jay be accepting of Mitchell, but never embrace the homosexual lifestyle as much as he suddenly does. The next day, nursing a hangover, Jay is disturbed and put off when Mitchell and Cam's friend, Pepper (Nathan Lane), shows up to take him on a time outing. Jay blames his commitment to the plan on alcohol. Sure, Jay may have been inebriated when he agreed to hold out with Pepper, but Jay bonded with all of Mitchell's friends the moment he sat down at their table, before he s
One in this comedy series, a "mockumentary" about the eccentric individuals comprising three inter-related families in Los Angeles. In this episode, Claire is exasperated by a complicated new remote governance, and Phil notes that she is less than gifted when it comes to technology.

Mitchell confronts Jay over his offensive phrasing, feeling that he has still not entirely accepted him as gay, and when Jay protests that he was merely accommodating his behind-the-times friends, Mitchell informs him that one of his pals, Shorty, is in fact gay himself. Claire calls Phil for help with the television, and Gloria offers to assist an embarrassed Whitney with her personal approach. Cam seems unconcerned by Jay's behavior, though Mitch is still hurt by his father's discomfort, and Gloria encourages Jay to reach out to Shorty and support him as she is doing for Whitney.
Phil arrives home to find that Claire has destroyed the remote in a
