Modern Family – Manny Get Your Gun
It was Manny’s birthday and the whole family met at a restaurant for dinner. Just as an FYI, I have been to that restaurant, and I am pretty sure that exact location, a couple of times and the food is really good.
Phil and Claire decided to take separate cars, because they each had a different route and wanted to race to see which one was faster. Luke thought when they said they were splitting up, they meant their marriage, and he wanted to go with his father. When Claire realized the mistake, she asked him why he wanted to go with his dad, was it because he is the fun parent? After a bit of a rant by Claire about why there can’t be two fun parents, Luke just said he thought his dad would need him more. Meanwhile, in Phil’s car he, Haley, and Alex all ended up crying because the girls don’t want to go to family camp and Phil started crying because he felt they were outgrowing him. Once he started crying, so did both girls, because their dad was crying. It sounds really depressing, but it was actually funny.
Cam and Mitchell were rushing around trying to get Manny a birthday gift, but Cam kept getting sidetracked and Mitchell was getting frustrated. Then they ended up in the middle of a dance flash mob, and Mitchell was actually a participant in it, which is why he was trying to rush Cam . He said it was his love letter to Cam, but Cam was upset that Mitchell did it without him. All I could think about during the flash mob scene was my friend Andrea, because I know she loves those things, and I think both of us cry every time we see one on Youtube. Andy, did you cry this time? I loved it, but didn’t cry, probably because it was scripted instead of reality.
Gloria lost her keys, and spent most of the episode looking for them while being teased and cajoled by Jay about it. He ended up finding them in his own jacket pocket, after saying he didn’t have them, and he put them into Gloria’s purse. She got him to admit he put them back in there, because he was trying to teach her a lesson; that she is scattered and needs to be more organized.
Manny was afraid he missed is childhood, because he has always been mature beyond his years. However, after watching all of the adults in his family act like children, he realized he still has plenty of time to behave like a child.
Travis brought his new girlfriend home from college to meet the gang. Jules was passive aggressive to the hilt, and even got kind of nasty to Kirsten, just not in front of Trav. No one was saying her name right, everyone called her Kristen, and even Travis did it after a bit. I felt sorry for the poor girl, because she seemed to really like Travis but Jules was pretty mean. Finally, Jules sat her down and explained to her that she knows she can be weird about Travis, but she really loves him and just wanted him to be treated well. I am afraid no woman is ever going to be good enough for Travis in Jules’ eyes.
The most traumatic event of the episode was the death of Big Joe. Well, not real death, since Big Joe was just a giant wine glass, but it was Jules’ favorite wine glass because it was like drinking wine out of a goldfish bowl, and Kirsten accidently broke it. Thankfully, at the end of the episode, Jules introduced everyone to Big Carl, her new giant wine glass. I actually think I like Big Carl better, it’s a very cool looking wine glass.
