Fans on Reddit almost unilaterally agree that the jean salesman was the worst
A post on the r/Modern_Family subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Modern_Family/comments/uh55qe/haley_worst_ever_boyfriends/) conducted a poll about the identity of Haley's worst boyfriend. While some fans voted for Andy (Adam DeVine), the long-lasting and confusing crush she has that sadly never sees fruition, some voted for Dylan (Reid Ewing), whom she ends up marrying. However, the votes absolutely piled on Kenny, the jean salesman with whom Haley has a short fling.
Of course, Kenny isn't just any other boyfriend of Haley's. In actuality, the only reason that Haley dates him is to get on her parents' nerves. In addition to the fact that Kenny (Jason Mantzoukas) is significantly older than her, additional differences between the two make a long-term relationship unlikely to work out. Things get out of hand when she decides to leave with him, again to infuriate her parents, but ultimately, she decides to come back, out of her own volition.
The poll also saw a large number of fans vote for the TV weatherman Rainer Shine (Nathan Fillion). Although Rainer is also quite a bit older than Haley, their relationship troubles were not quite as problematic per se. However, fans still found issues with the way that the brief relationship formed. For example, a comment by u/reflectiveruse (https://www.reddit.com/r/Modern_Family/comments/uh55qe/comment/i76o2we/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) reflected this: "The weirdest thing to me is that Rainer met her through Phil, and actually assumed that Phil was setting them up together. And mostly everything else was really odd, like Haley parenting his daughter (who's less than ten years younger than her) and Rainer proposing after several months just because he didn't want to be single in his late 40s."
