Love the way Gloria sprays the water on Phil’s face before saying “you don’t do one thing wrong. You do everything wrong. I don’t even know why she talks to you” 🤣
Not actually the best dad tbh bc he enables and throws his wife under the bus for parenting which.. if this was a real family would call for lots of therapy. However, like, over all they're good parents/family. Not gonna come for you for the other part (not did I really come for you for the first part, I still mostly agree with you), like, he has his good moments (just like others in the show) but sometimes he really does put his foot in his mouth with Claire.
Well, it's still funny if we forget about our real lives for a minute. Maybe not the argument itself but the way they showed it through comedy lenses. Plus, the ending was really moving.
In a nutshell… Phil finally tried the “wedge salad” and he loved it because his friend Skip Woosnum had insisted he try it, and Phil recommended it to Claire - except Claire had been recommending the wedge salad to Phil for years before this because she knew how good it was and Phil didn’t listen to her and had completely forgotten that she had and gave all the credit to his friend instead of her. Claire said he’d made her feel like she didn’t matter to him at all because of that. A salad.
@@knowledgegathererdraftsave1979 except it wasnt "all because of that, a salad". The salad was the breaking point, she says in the episode that Phil does that with everything she recommends to him
Agreed. When Claire was mocking him when he was trying to figure out what he did, that was flat out bullying and if she couldn't say why she was really mad, then that's her fault for not communicating well. If I were Phil, I would call her out on that behavior.
@@malovina Yes, everything these days is taken literally. What kind of message is it sending to society? Not a positive one. And they try to pass it off as comedy when it is actually not funny.
@@malovina The issue is, in the abscence of solid role models, people DO model their behaviour off what they see in popular media. Good examples need to be set.
2:06 he says Skip introduced him to something called "Wedge salad", claims it's great, and says that Claire has got to try it. In reality, apparently Claire regularly tries to get Phil to try things she likes but he refuses; Then, when other people ask him to try them, he does and gives the other person all the credit for introducing him to it. Apparently Claire had been trying to get Phil to try "Wedge salad" for months and it was the final straw when he only did it for someone else again
@@unknownunknowns no the ex-girlfriend is the one he was planning to meet up with but ended up cancelling (bc he thought that's what made Claire mad). The one who recommended the wedge salad was man he knew through work
In Phil’s defense, there’s no way he could have avoided this. Claire’s always angry about something especially when it comes to the things he does. There’s hardly any pleasing her.
@@Virgin_Succubus642 here the thing is Claire always says Phil to try things but he oppose. But when some other person says, he immediately tries it. So she was angry about that and Phil was tbh annoying here.
@@Virgin_Succubus642 Oh sweetie... Yes, he absolutely could have avoided it by LISTENING TO HIS WIFE. She got mad because earlier she had suggested this very salad and Phil had ignored her - but as soon as some dude recommended it, Phil not only listened but told about this to Claire (As if she hadn't been recommending it all this time)... It made her feel like she didn't matter. I mean, do you like to be ignored and brushed off? GROW UP and learn to pay attention to your loved ones.
