13 Times Phil Dunphy Was the Dad of All Dads

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

Because let’s face it, I think we all wish our dads could take dad lessons from Phil Dunphy. 

 

1. When he knew what would make the absolute perfect family pet.

Because dogs are soooo overrated, obviously.

 

2. When he knew how to appreciate true modern art.

 

4. When he gave us the secret to true happiness.

…and the key to truly enjoying your big day

 

5. When he taught us all how to properly bust a move and be the life of the party.

 

6. That one time when he couldn’t resist making the dad joke.

 

…or multiple times…

 

 

7. When he knew what to be properly worried about.

It is a valid question.

 

8. When he demonstrated genuine interest in today’s pop-culture.

 

9. When he came up with this fantastic tattoo idea.

 

10. When the wording didn’t exactly come out right.

Hey, lending a helping hand isn’t always easy.

 

11. When he was the epitome of dad fashion.

 

12. When he perfectly summed up a parent’s job.

 

13. And finally, when he taught us that, after a long day of being a dad, it’s good to unwind.

 

So here’s to our beloved TV dad, Phil Dunphy. 

 Yes, you are.
