Phil and Mitchell make a surprisingly good pair

Phil and Mitchell's infamous gummy bear high subplot in "Modern Family" manages to still be as one of the show's funniest side stories. Much of this is thanks to the chemistry between Ty Burrell and Jesse Tyler Ferguson's characters, who fans, such as u/slowdownyourneighbor believe make the episode. "Definitely one of my favorite episodes! Love the Mitch/Phil pairing," the user comments. Similarly, u/zayatopia is in love with the pair, going as far as to call them an, "Underrated DUO!!!"

Thankfully, the underrated duo were given more than enough time to shine. Trying to pinpoint the most side-splitting moment in their escapade is an especially tall task for fans. On Reddit, u/froggaholic notes the memorable scene when, after one of Luke's friends falls from the window in front of the adults, Phil and Mitchell, who knew of the party, "... quietly say 'there's a party upstairs,' it's so hilarious."

A YouTube comment section also saw fans throw out their opinions on what made for the funniest moment. One fan found Phil's line towards the end, "I have two words for you — think about time travel" to be especially gut-busting. "I laughed for like 5 straight minutes repeating the same scene," they comment. Meanwhile, another viewer found Mitchell's chip eating especially comedic, saying, "It was Mitchell having the munchies for me." Phil and Mitchell's night may not have gone quite as planned, but fans wouldn't have it any other way.
