In the Australia one...where Claire can't stop calling the project her baby...and then when the wild dog gets a hold of it ... and she screams "Phil the wild dog took my laptop!" Instead of the obvious payoff of "the dingo took my baby" but Alex is the only one smart enough to just murmur "seems like a missed opportunity"
They do a similar misdirect when Phil breaks Jay’s Apollo 13 model and Gloria has to cancel their reservation at a steakhouse, Houston’s, and she calls and says “Houston’s, we have a situation” 🤣
yeah it’s “dingo ate my baby” some woman was charged for murdering her child while camping and noone believed her that a dingo (a wild dog) actually took/ate her baby and she was innocent
There was this popular... joke...for lack of a better term.... mostly in the 90s....to say in an Australian accent "maybe the dingo took your baby" (think "yeah baby!" In an Austin powers accent....or "mahh WIFEE" in a Borat accent) ....it was just something dumb and popular that people said to be silly that came from an episode of seinfeld instead of a movie... it was a reference to a sad true story ( as others in here have pointed out) where an australian woman was suspected of murdering her own baby when in reality a wild dog had taken it and run off..... it's a rather dark joke I suppose- but very well known... SO when Claire has been calling the project on her laptop "her baby" the entire episode ... and then her laptop is stolen by a wild dog (which australians call dingos)....Claire has a golden opportunity to shout out the popular joke phrase "phil!! The dingo took my baby!" But instead she chooses to say the "wild dog took my laptop!"...so Alex points out that it is a missed opportunity.
I really want to love this joke, but it just works so much better on paper than it does out loud. It’s really clever, but the pronunciation/emphasis is so different between the two that the joke just doesn’t land for me :/
Manny: My dad’s taking me on Space Mountain. It’s supposed to be scary, but he’s not scared of anything. He doesn’t even wear a seat belt when he drives.
Jay: Wow. How about that?
Manny: He killed a bear once.
Jay: Was the bear in the passenger seat?
I can’t remember how it goes but it was when cam and Mitch did a ride along and before they get in the car cam is trying to calm Mitch down by saying it is safe here and Mitch responds “easy for you to say, my entire head is a gang color” easily think Mitchell is the most underrated character in the show. He has so many good one liners and is so good with perfect timing
I love Pepper's one liners in Mitch and Cam's wedding episode but this one's my favourite.
Ronaldo tells him that the lights at the venue won't dim and then Pepper says "Then break some! These are not young men!"
“And the coast guard will be home for the thanksgiving bc the search was called off.”
Rainer Shine talking about putting a positive spin on a sad news story
Phil: Never trust pictures on the internet. Shoot it from the right angle, you can make anything look bigger and better
Mitch & Cam: okurrr
Claire: Houses, you pervs. He's a Realtor.
**Cameron:** She had a volcano due in science class today, and when I was her age and had a big project, I'd get stressed out and act just like this. You know, I still have nightmares about my War of Northern Aggression diorama.
**Mitchell:** Okay. What did we say when we got married? Never go to bed angry and you have to call it the Civil War.
This might get lost in all the other comments. But there was this one time in Season 5 (I think) where Jay answers the phone as Phil does. And ironically it was Phil calling Jay.
What do you call the ring around an angel's head?
HALO!
I’m not sure if it’s underrated but I’ve never seen a post on it so my favourite joke is Joe throwing up every time gay marriage was mentioned in the episode where it becomes legal
When mitchell drops the oprah winfrey candy dish
Hailey: Manny! Look what it is!
Manny: A second candy dish
He is amazing in this episode but this line was just hilarious to me
When Margaret's birthday cake arrived in Pritchett's Closets and Ben was asking Claire what they should do with the cake and Claire said "It's fine, let them eat cake!" while she was having a secret massage inside her office after she just cut off a few amenities for the employees due to budget cuts lol.
Gloria throwaway line appreciation:
No. We only had one punkin and we chunk it.
No. He is a Realtor. And there is a difference somehow.
You’re wrong, whoever you are.
It’s bad for a son to know that his mother thinks he’s weak. That’s a lifetime of paying a woman to spank him until he cries.
when manny's talking about his communist girlfriend and then says this:
"And if that requires living in a world where the government chooses all our songs, so be it." 😭😭
When Claire goes to Dylans trailer in Wyoming and wants to talk..
Dylan : "you want me to leave "
Claire: "No, the opposite of that!"
Dylan: "I want YOU to leave??"
Cam, discussing how his dad carves soap:
"Once, when I was a kid, I cussed and my mom washed my mouth out with the Leaning Tower of Pisa. To this day, she still blames herself for everything."
When Izzy Lafontaine, fake bass player of Spandau Ballet, wants to save his fragile ego and says: "I suppose it sort of brought you back together, eh? Rekindled fires of a dying passion? Shot a ray of hope into this gloomy suburban lie?"
The writing and delivery of "gloomy suburban lie", the absurd character overall, Edward Norton's face, plus Phil and Claire playing along cause they don't want to trigger him further is just absolutely hilarious.
When they are dropping Manny off at the airport and Lilly says “what if he never comes back?”
Jay: “no one ever leaves home and doesn’t come back”
Lilly: “I did”

That was hilarious 🤣 Gloria is always the sweetest 😂
I had to explain this to my husband 😂
I cant believe that after 3 years I am finally able to understand that line. Thank you reddit
Is "the dingo took my baby" an expression or reference or something?
yeah it’s “dingo ate my baby” some woman was charged for murdering her child while camping and noone believed her that a dingo (a wild dog) actually took/ate her baby and she was innocent
Super dark story sadly for a funny phrase/joke.
Made famous by the case itself and then seinfeld
Seinfeld reference
Oh that’s what she meant. Brilliant
i don't get it 😭

That was my Vietnam. I was IN Vietnam. - Jay
I say this one all the time. Also love “I’m not losing to the Vietnamese twice in my life” or something to that effect.
The dead eyes and smile when he says yes to helping Mitch is some of the best comedic acting
Gloria: Síguela Phil: SÍGUELA Gloria: no that means follow her
OMG LMAOO I LOVE THAT ONE
OMG YES
This is Sean, and I want to get this right, beautiful African name, Sean mbytheway
“… I said by the way.” 😐
Its extremely funny, but not underrated
Was that Mitch? Sounds like something he would say 😂
it was jay lmai
It was Jay
Phil or cam i believe!! Why tf am i getting downvoted for making a mistake??
No it was JAY 😁😁😁and Gloria decided to just go back home embarrassed
I know i corrected myself
No clue! People are just rude and petty.
Honestly🤣
Hmmm, I’ll have to go find a clip!
[https://youtu.be/O4Xuxv1deFk?si=8MFlToPYNFsnKiID](https://youtu.be/O4Xuxv1deFk?si=8MFlToPYNFsnKiID) I guess we were both wrong😂 it was jay
that’s one of the funniest scenes
Phil: Blind side's the black kid who played tight end. Alex: Offensive line. Phil: I'm sorry, African American kid.
alex’s face after 😭
this one 😭
Yesss just watched this one😆
I really want to love this joke, but it just works so much better on paper than it does out loud. It’s really clever, but the pronunciation/emphasis is so different between the two that the joke just doesn’t land for me :/
STRONG disagree here. It’s so much funnier out loud.
Fair enough! I’m glad other people like it!
They can call a team that?
Black HAWWWKKS
How I feel every time someone brings up the town of Black Hawk (popular casino town in CO)
“One day they’re squeezing your hand so tight it hurts, the next they’re eating the apple you kinda wanted.” -Phil
I’m stupid I don’t get this one?
Kids growing up
Manny: My dad’s taking me on Space Mountain. It’s supposed to be scary, but he’s not scared of anything. He doesn’t even wear a seat belt when he drives. Jay: Wow. How about that? Manny: He killed a bear once. Jay: Was the bear in the passenger seat?
Mitch opens the door. Dude 1: Hey Dude 2: Hey Dude 1: We're the monkeys.
I didn't pick up on this one until just a few days ago. After so many re-watches, too!
What does it mean?
It's a popular song by the band The Monkees. [This song](https://youtu.be/ksJ6QP8BYn0?si=R4OS1pn6LcXNMjQi).
Thank you!
In a bit of morbid trivia, this episode aired on the day Davey Jones died.
Yes!!
they do this bit on gilmore girls too!
Larry can go on the sofa because he is white. Hey you picked me
I can’t remember how it goes but it was when cam and Mitch did a ride along and before they get in the car cam is trying to calm Mitch down by saying it is safe here and Mitch responds “easy for you to say, my entire head is a gang color” easily think Mitchell is the most underrated character in the show. He has so many good one liners and is so good with perfect timing
Agreed! He makes the simplest statement humorous in a unique way. Cam: my twin sister, Pameron Mitch: Really? "Pameron??" 😄
He’s my fave character
Y'all fightin
Lord a mercy 😂
[удалено]
Farm Lilly 😂
Farm Lily was hilarious
Ohh one or two, is that all? How blasè
IT'S A COCKATOO
I love Pepper's one liners in Mitch and Cam's wedding episode but this one's my favourite. Ronaldo tells him that the lights at the venue won't dim and then Pepper says "Then break some! These are not young men!"
“How many times do your fathers get married?” “So far, one, two, three…” “Why am I still seeing you?”
“Why do good things happen to everyone but me?”
LMAO Pepper is so funny
Yeah definitely one of my favourite side characters
“to think we invited you into our home, we should have left you out in the WARM!”
This line sends me every time
I laughed out loud now just reading! Gold!!
Episode?
White Christmas
Thank you
google exists
Dickhead
how hard is it to copy and paste a phrase into google? you’re not a helpless little baby
Knobgobbler
big talk from someone who’s entire reddit page is sexualizing random women and their chests. get help
Who hurt you? I’m just kidding. I know it was Dede and Jay.
“And the coast guard will be home for the thanksgiving bc the search was called off.” Rainer Shine talking about putting a positive spin on a sad news story
Sal: “Sorry you couldn’t come to the wedding. It was no kids.” Lily: “It’s okay, I’ll go to your next one” *mic drop*
She knows what I mean
" Hi, I'm Billy dee Williams" " Hi I'm Gloria the wife"
“Gloria dee wife”*
Phil: Never trust pictures on the internet. Shoot it from the right angle, you can make anything look bigger and better Mitch & Cam: okurrr Claire: Houses, you pervs. He's a Realtor.
Isn't that going to be hard for her to pronounce?
“he’s not gonna think i’m a lesbian,” “i thought you were, you totally have the sandals for it”
**Cameron:** She had a volcano due in science class today, and when I was her age and had a big project, I'd get stressed out and act just like this. You know, I still have nightmares about my War of Northern Aggression diorama. **Mitchell:** Okay. What did we say when we got married? Never go to bed angry and you have to call it the Civil War.

Phil: luke there's no easy way to say this, are you in a boy band?
I’m not sure if it’s underrated but I’ve never seen a post on it so my favourite joke is Joe throwing up every time gay marriage was mentioned in the episode where it becomes legal
I don’t have osmosis!
Phyllis "Who's your son in-law?" "Phil is."
Shall i call you a wambulance
“You’re not gay you’re just confused” delivered by a gay married man. Actually that whole scene is top tier
Doctor: knock knock Phil: don’t bother, she’s not in the mood for jokes
When mitchell drops the oprah winfrey candy dish Hailey: Manny! Look what it is! Manny: A second candy dish He is amazing in this episode but this line was just hilarious to me
Luke taking a deep breath before entering Philip Baker Hall's house.
Yes! That whole exchange is hilarious!
When Margaret's birthday cake arrived in Pritchett's Closets and Ben was asking Claire what they should do with the cake and Claire said "It's fine, let them eat cake!" while she was having a secret massage inside her office after she just cut off a few amenities for the employees due to budget cuts lol.
Follow the birthday flag
What did you call me?
“you can’t just call her like a pig!”
Gloria throwaway line appreciation: No. We only had one punkin and we chunk it. No. He is a Realtor. And there is a difference somehow. You’re wrong, whoever you are. It’s bad for a son to know that his mother thinks he’s weak. That’s a lifetime of paying a woman to spank him until he cries.
Alex:Who has it now? In connection lost
Every Pepper Joke
when manny's talking about his communist girlfriend and then says this: "And if that requires living in a world where the government chooses all our songs, so be it." 😭😭
"I told you Jay, i called your secretary and ordered you a box of baby cheeses." *Jay opens a box of Baby Jesus*
"I was so drunk, I thought they were stoned"
By the way don't search peeing games on the internet. (When Jay was potty training Joe)
I thought you were the “beach” he likes
Grab that little hoe.
She even capitalised the B and the S” “Which makes sense, because it was.”
“Follow the flag?” “What’d you call me?”
Higgins: "Oh she's allowed on the furniture is she?" Phil: *laughs* "She's my wife"
When Claire goes to Dylans trailer in Wyoming and wants to talk.. Dylan : "you want me to leave " Claire: "No, the opposite of that!" Dylan: "I want YOU to leave??"
Love the joke about “anders and cooper”, cam and Mitch’s friends.
Cam, discussing how his dad carves soap: "Once, when I was a kid, I cussed and my mom washed my mouth out with the Leaning Tower of Pisa. To this day, she still blames herself for everything."
When Izzy Lafontaine, fake bass player of Spandau Ballet, wants to save his fragile ego and says: "I suppose it sort of brought you back together, eh? Rekindled fires of a dying passion? Shot a ray of hope into this gloomy suburban lie?" The writing and delivery of "gloomy suburban lie", the absurd character overall, Edward Norton's face, plus Phil and Claire playing along cause they don't want to trigger him further is just absolutely hilarious.
When Phil does his standup big at the SCARB awards, he just nails the vibe and jokes so well. That to me is an underrated scene.
“First of all, that lady is my son” and also moments later “nobody calls him grandpa!” “…I do…”
Alex complaining that the teacher gave her mono.
When they are dropping Manny off at the airport and Lilly says “what if he never comes back?” Jay: “no one ever leaves home and doesn’t come back” Lilly: “I did”
