Modern Family had the world in a chokehold for the entirety of its 11 seasons, given that it brought together some of the greats of television, declared them a "modern family," and put it all on tape. Nonetheless, we were all SAT. Just one episode of Jay and Gloria, Cam and Mitch, Claire and Phil, and all the youngsters was enough to leave us swooning.
Over the course of 11 seasons, we watch the family go through some major ups and downs, with Claire somehow spiraling even more with each passing year, but we digress. The point is, along the way, the show has given us some gems in the form of quotes, that even today, long after it came to an end, still ring true. (we're looking at you, Phil Dunphy).
In this list, we're taking a look at some of these funny, yet heartfelt quotes, sure to leave you debating whether or not you need to binge-watch the show... again... for the 100th time.
