Haven't gotten a chance to see it all season.
This episode is hilarious; the scene where Gloria and Claire talk to each other is one of the best-written scenes of this series.

OMG! Halfway through the episode and I've been in tears from laughing! The conversation between Gloria/Phil/Claire might be the best thing so far this season!

I didn't care for the Cameron / Mitchell plotline at all, but the other storyline was hilarious.

This was probably the funniest episode of Modern Family yet. So many funny lines, visuals, and exchanges.
Phil: "It's like your shaking hands...but you're not really shaking hands at all..."
Phil: "I think I'm going to faint." and "I need to sit down."
My favorite scene though was when Haley, Alex, and Luke were sitting on the bench talking. It was nice to see them all bonding like that and appreciating their parents; really a great moment.
And even though Cam and Mitchell took the backseat in the episode, I loved their story as well. Blaming the kid was just fantastic.

You knew as soon as the kids gave Phil and Claire a present it was going to be a lock, but it was still really funny. I didn't see the whole "it makes a sound" thing coming, which was great, and I loved Phil's "We'll use it all the time."

Phil's "knock knock" joke was great. One of the best episodes of the series.
"She offered us her cupcakes."

I was shocked that they chose to basically say they were doing it doggystyle. Didn't expect it out of this show, but I thought it was a very funny touch.
Also Claire in a t-shirt in panties. Is there a better look on a girl?

OMG! That was easily one of the funniest episodes of the series.
The kids walking in with Claire and Phil doing it and their reactions was hilarious.
Luke: "Sex is when adults take off their underpants and go into bed"
I was dying at the awkward conversation with Phil/Claire/Gloria about the Cup cakes and Claire needing to crack the whip.
I thought the B story with Mitchell and Cameron and Amelia was actually kind of funny as well.
Awesome way to wind down the evening.

Great episode. Lots of good moments mentioned, but Gloria was cracking me up left and right. Her plaintive "Come back..." to the email at the beginning was hilarious.
And I'm also really surprised the very obvious "doggy-style" got past the censors. I expected a basic "under the covers" moment but that's really, really not what we got. Don't get me wrong, it made it 10X more hilarious. Just...wowza.

I didn't really care for last weeks episode, but I thought this might be the best episode of the whole series. All three storylines were really strong and absolutely hilarious. I'm watching it again tonight.
Besides everything else mentioned, I loved Haley's expression in particular as Phil and Claire were having the talk with the kids. So funny.

Phil continues to be one of my all-time favorite characters on any show. That guy is comedy gold.

Ehh, this was all a bit much for Modern Family, imho. It's kind of like there are various things that you're not surprised to see in South Park, but would never see in The Simpsons. Not that it was that outrageous, I guess it just depends on expectations.
Plus, I feel like "That 70's Show" did a much better job with the horror of seeing your parents doing it.

at Alex washing her eyes after seeing Claire and Phil in bed.
This episode was pure gold throughout. The Gloria email plot was like something out of Three's Company, but they still made it hilarious. Phil was especially funny.

^"I can still see it!!" :lol
The surprise moment is classic!
Funniest one I've seen so far. I'm still catching up with this series as I missed most of the first season

Whoever wrote this episode has been listening to too much Adam Carolla. The surly European restaurant server and having a barrel bolt to lock your bedroom door are routines that he regularly brings up.

What was Phil's line when he was complementing Claire on her skills. I was laughing too hard to remember it...
