Family is really toxic toward him only by Phil, Gloria, Maddy, clarie daughter, and well, that about it . Every time he mentions something that was important to him, the writer and the family just brush it off, but they're missing the point . Whatever he was going through at that time, that was important no matter how small I really would've liked it if he snap at them
It’s true, more than half the family treat Mitch dirty, including even Cam, I’d say that Lily, Joe, and possibly Manny are the only exceptions. Haley and Alex maybe as well but there was the Playdates episode in season 7 where they and Luke didn’t have anything special planned for a birthday surprise for Mitch and had to improvise and make it seem like they cared. Although hearing them say nice things about him as their uncle and how he gives them great gifts for their birthdays made me a little happy.
@@gibbyfraustro2509 When you include Phil and Gloria, do you mean they are among the few in the family who aren’t toxic and treat Mitch dirty? If so, I disagree, Phil mistreated Mitch awfully in the early seasons: season 3 episode 23, Tableau Vivant and season 4 episode 10, Diamond in the Rough, Phil lied to, humiliated, let Mitch be mocked, disliked and threw him under the bus to protect himself and let Mitch be the bad guy in both those episodes and he never apologised to him or regretted that he’d done and put him through all that in both episodes. Even when Mitch thought that Phil was sorry and going to say it to him in Tableau Vivant, he never got an apology from Phil. As for Gloria, she didn’t do anything like what Phil did, but the worst I recall is in season 7 when she, Jay, Manny and Claire wanted to boycott Lily’s soccer game and they all lied to Mitch so he wouldn’t be mad at them, they still showed up out of guilt and Joe told the truth that Gloria shot Jay’s foot to make the lie they made up to boycott more believable and so Mitch would feel like the bad guy for being mad at them.
Man poor Mitchell his family really sucks and watching this you can see why he is the way he is and yet people always criticise him for being wound tight, his dad’s emotionally closed off and homophobic his mum isn’t a stable person, his sister is an overachiever his husband is overly emotional and dramatic and everybody criticises him constantly
@@stirlingarcher7972 Yeah, none of the characters are perfect, Mitch is my favourite but again he’s not perfect and has character development as the show progresses. Though, I don’t know about all of them; Phil’s not been a favourite for me especially since I finished season 3, mainly for how he treated Mitchell at the end of that season and in season 4 along with other things he did. I feel that Phil didn’t have as much character development as the others did like Haley and Jay. Mitch’s character growth compared to Phil in their relationship showed at the end of season 9 where he defended Phil despite how Phil did the opposite to him in the early seasons; Phil never apologised to Mitch or regretted what he did to him and never thanked him for having his back in season 9. Again, none of them are perfect, but Mitch deserved better when it came to his and Phil’s relationship even though there weren’t a lot of episodes that centred on just them.
She really was. Mitch was still close with his mother, Dede, but he loved and accepted Gloria as family all the same as she did for him. For one thing, Gloria even told Claire in season 3 that she loved Mitch as her stepchild more than her. My favourite moment of Mitch and Gloria’s relationship is the moment where she stepped in with Jay to walk him down the aisle for his and Cam’s wedding day ❤
We always mention how Mitchell gravitated more to this Mom, but I always feel they miss at least one particular connection where his Dad was estranged from him when he first came out to him and instead just talked to his Mom. Meanwhile, Claire Is hyper criticized by her so she gravitated towards Jay (and his approval).
I think I even remember one line when he mentioned his dad used to call him all the time on the phone until he came out and said he was gay. Then suddenly the calls just stopped. That kinda broke my heart a little. Just editing to add I haven't watched the full vid yet so I'm not sure if that scene is here.
I feel really bad for Mitchell. Even though he can be a bit critical and emotionally shut down, he gets a lot of criticism and disrespect from everyone, even his own family and especially his dad. I am happy that at least his mom is more supportive of him being gay but she isn’t exactly mentally stable and it just made me feel worse. He deserved better than what his father put him through.
IKR?! Mitch deserved better in so many ways more than nearly everyone else in the family. Mitch is my favourite character, he is far from perfect but at least he would never be awful and mistreat any of the family like how more than half of them do to him - Mitch would only do that if they wronged him first and he deserved to get even. Out of the entire family, I’d say that Lily, Joe and possibly Manny are the only ones who don’t treat Mitch dirty. Even Cam’s family treated him dirty and Cam hardly did anything about it or believed Mitch when he was telling him the truth. Personally, I have lost any respect I thought I had for Phil after I finished season 3 for how he treated and what he put Mitch through in the Tableau Vivant episode that season and then again in Diamond in the Rough, season 4: Humiliating, turning his back on, lying, blackmailing and throwing him under the bus all to protect himself and let Mitch be seen as the bad guy. What’s worse, Phil never apologised to Mitch in both those episodes or regretted what he’d done to him. Mitch even believed Phil was going to apologise to him in Tableau Vivant and he didn’t. Mitch deserved a better brother-in-law than Phil.
12:17 this is one of the saddest scenes to me. It shows how coming out took a way a constant in his life that took a while to get. He was known as a momma boy before bc of the divorce, but this really drove that nail in
The reason Jay is a better dad to Gloria’s kids than he was to his own is because I like his first wife Gloria makes him treat ALL his kids with respect and show affection no matter his pride .
Idk if this is popular or unpopular but: Mitch deserved better than Cam. This video doesn’t showcase that specific part that much, but I feel like their relationship was always very Cam-centered. They’d argue everyday and in the end Mitch was almost always the one who compromised, and whenever Cam seemed to compromise, there was always a twist or some mind game. Besides, I mostly felt like they hated each other. Like, they loved each other but hated everything ABOUT the other.
That’s kind of exactly why I think they’re perfect for each other. They’re both incredibly flawed and can be super toxic but when it counts, they’re fiercely there for each other. And you’re plain wrong about the relationship being very Cam-centered - so many episodes are about Mitchell being problematic (can’t kiss in public, didn’t add Cam’s last name to Lily’s BC, would rather get trapped in a princess castle than admit he’s terrible at building things, has a midlife crisis that Cam supports). Cam gets way too much hate - he’s an incredible father and a very loving husband and personal cheerleader when he needs to be.
@@osmoticmonknah ur definitely just wrong lmfao. Cam started as a fun and a ympathetic character and ended the series as a toxic parasite with less maturity than their teenage daughter and less intellect than Haley 😂 and 9 out of every 10 episodes Mitchell ends up “in the wrong” he is objectively correct at the end of the day. Not a debate. Mitchell did deserved better.
I love Mitchell, he is my favorite character. Idk he just looks like the ‘realest’ and is very relatable. Love the relationship he has with Haley. I wish I had an uncle like that! 💜 and he’s one lines aren’t as good as Lily’s or Alex’s but he definitely is at top 3
Mitch is my favourite too, I relate so much to him and I hate how more than half the family are awful to or treat him dirty and don’t respect and appreciate him how they should and he deserves to be. Mitch never does any of that to them unless he should because they’ve wronged him first.
@@PedritoPascal I feel the same way. Mitch has been my favourite all the way through the show. He is my comfort character, I relate to him and he definitely deserved better more than most of the other characters. More than half the family mistreated and took him for granted, even Cam and Phil who for the most part is ranked the #1 character was awful to Mitch and he never apologised for what he did to and put him through, nor did Phil thank Mitch when he defended and had his back while Phil hadn’t done the same for him. Basically everyone was lucky to have Mitch as their family whatever relationship he was to them most of them sadly didn’t always acknowledge and show it.
@@JedionEarth108 awww your so strong I hope you know how proud I am of you I'm always here if u wanna talk about anything okay I grew up with an abusive dad as well but I'm really proud of you and your so strong and amazing and important, ❤️
Guys don’t get defensive. Firstly, the story needed to be continued and that’s why Mitch faced so many stuff. Also, he had a loving family and a loving husband. That is what many gay men will never have unfortunately. Jay’s character represents the older generation who are more conservative and closed minded. People like him can relate to him. But the great thing about this show is that it shows how Jay was trying to change and become more accepting because he loved his family. Each character had their own flaws and that was very real and what made this show special. Because none of us are perfect. Each character went through their own struggles and journey and I think the important thing is that they all stayed together and faced their challenges as a family. Although Jay was a traditional man, his family was not a stereotypical traditional family. His wife was a latina, his son was gay, his daughter got pregnant and married her bf, his granddaughters had bfs etc. Showing that people can change to support their loved ones, is very powerful and also shows that even though they have a “modern family”, their struggles are just as ordinary as other families. Nobody was toxic here guys. It’s all about teaching people why certain behaviours are bad and why we should support each other no matter what. These cuts are from the middle of each episode and at the end of each episode, the characters learned a valuable lesson.
mitch was one of my favorite characters in modern family, it's honestly so heartbreaking to see his relationship with my father during the first episodes :(
So true, and Mitch’s family were all a big part of his world, yet more than half of them mistreated and took him for granted, but Mitch would still love, support and stand by them despite that, making them all lucky to have and call him their family.
I’ve almost finished watching all of Modern Family, and from the very start to the end, I can say without a second thought that Mitchell Pritchett is hands down my favourite character in the show. This video here although focuses on all the hardships and sad moments that Mitch had to put up with and go through from his own family really breaks my heart and makes me feel sympathy for him, but the fact that he would always stand by and love all of them, even though more than half of them were awful to and treated him dirty; Mitch deserves to be recognised as one of the best in this show because he’s there for them and although he did questionable things and lied to them as well, Mitch would have never mistreated any of them unless he was wronged first and deserved to get even. Yet that’s probably not what happened a lot of the time, proving how good and lucky everyone is to have and call him their family whether he’s their husband, father, brother; step-brother; half-brother, uncle, son, step-son, son-in-law, brother-in-law etc. All of Mitch’s relationships with everyone grew and developed such as with Jay, Cam, Lily, Claire, for most of the others there were a few moments, and all showed how important family is to him and them ❤ I relate to Mitch so much and say without a doubt he deserved better. There are a few moments not included such as how awful Phil was to Mitch in the early seasons: Tableau Vivant (season 3) and Diamond in the Rough (season 4), but all the moments included here say and capture it all. Thank you for this and to Jesse Tyler Ferguson for being Mitchell Pritchett for Modern Family 💗
If i was at his place...I'd be over this dad during 2nd year at law certainly...if he can't understand and respect something that I'm born with i don't wanna see him in my life
Mitch handles all of his extra toxic relatives well in this episode! I loved the cam lion king part and sad you cut that part! I bet it was due to stinky Disney copy write issues.
3:13 - 3:24 Even though Claire wasn’t helping by trying to justify the lie they all planned and to weasel out of Mitch being frustrated with her, I have to admit that it was nice that she could actually say *I’m sorry* to him, her brother unlike her husband, Phil. Every time Phil mistreated Mitch in the show he never apologised or showed any regret for what he did and put him, his brother-in-law through. Also, he didn’t always thank or appreciate Mitch for most of the times that he helped, stood up for, defended and had his back. The family were all lucky to have Mitch. Not that he was perfect, of course, but he didn’t and I don’t think would ever have done even half of the things they wrongly and unfairly did to him.
I still think it would have been a smart idea to let Cam and Claire have a baby so this way so this way to genetics are similar and he really is a part of the family and the same stuff that went into Mitchell went into Claire it's just how it was organized through the randomness of DNA plus that kid possibly getting an older sister like Lily would have been crazy
a lot of these scenes aren’t even funny. it’s just sad. i can’t stand it when characters gang up on one person and the one person is being rational. it’s not funny. it’s heartbreaking.
He wasn't as awful as Mitchell who was such my way or the high way character, Jay was a different generation but grew and showed acceptance and tolerance at his own pace
I don't think he was that awful... He is born in a generation which doesn't accept many things... We also have to understand it's hard for his generation to understand these things... It's new for him.. And he already is not very good at expressing his emotions... But he still tried... I am not saying he was good at it from the beginning but atleast he tried and he developed 😊
Then don't watch it wrinkly old fart you are slowly turning to dust thanos snapped u into another dimmeson lady if u don't want to watch it don't fucking watch it babe the fuck
I know it’s supposed to just be funny.. but some of the Epiphanies Cam and Mitch have are good for anyone. Most have to deal with be kinder and less selfish. Actually.. the entire show is about navigating personality clash in a fun way. I wish my family had some of the keys they do. Like my family has everyone you’d want.. smart, athletes, musicians, writers.. etc. what we don’t have however.. is whatever strings keep a family attached and wanting to fight it out. It’s sad. Our new patriarch is a worst case scenario.. I just never imagined it could do this level of damage.
Die women it was smoking that day I was going outside the program that was a day that was smoking weed axelon I'm Never Smoke Weed because I never use that kind of instrument of that and that's like people who go and piano she was laughing at me that day
That day I was going outside. A lady was looking at the door she asked unlock the door and the window is lapis and no I never smoke because I never used to two men that they never use exterminator Mento
I was going around the street with the program she was smoking that way she asked me now can you buy me some cigarettes 10 know it I was in that day because it was before that day I was last year that they was in 2018 that woman was pretty mad at the other day it was not the other day what's the other day follow the other day it was
Yeah, why does mitch get to be himself but jay doesn’t? If he’s uncomfortable about it then let him be, he came so far accepting cam in the family. Just saying we shouldn’t invalidate his feelings, too.
Yes because homophobia and invalidating your child and disrespecting their partner and in some cases perpetuating harmful ideas and behaviors is “just being yourself” , stop trying to defend bigotry, because let’s be real if Mitch was straight Jay wouldn’t feel the need to “be himself”
I don't think it was fair for everyone to force Jay into situations he wasn't comfortable with. He wasn't a hateful man, he was just raised a different way. He loved his family and would do anything for them. I mean if everyone expected him to be more accepting and open minded then they should of accepted him for who he is, it goes both ways. I myself am a gay man but I'm also realistic and try to respect other people's beliefs and views.
I can understand where you come from, but I don't think people pushed Jay into uncomfortable situations at all. They even TOLERATED "his beliefs" for a long period of time, refering to Mitch and Cam not being able to kiss in front of him, or how most of the arguments in this video didn't end up in people turning against Jay, they just "left him be". Ofc, people would be upset (reasonably I belive) at him, but none forced him to do anything. Even for the wedding, once he confessed he was uncomfortable with the situation and he didn't accept him as who he is, Mitch made it clear he didnt have to go to the wedding of HIS OWN SON. Yes, maybe you could consider in these as "everyone else forcing Jay into uncomfortable situations", but you fail to acknowledge Jay is hurting his son, like the time he called Cam "one of Mitch's friends". None said he is hateful and people can comprehend where he comes from, but it doesn't have to justify him hurting his own family.
possibly unpopular oppinion. even if sex isn't involved the biological result of brother and sister IVF would still probably result in a severly disabled kid. how this weird idea ever got put into the writer's room I have no fucking clue.
Cam isn’t related to Claire. He’s her brother in law. Claire would be carrying a baby for her brother, Mitchell, but it wouldn’t be biologically hers and Mitchell’s.
…I love how people who don’t know shit about biology try to use it as an argument. Cam would’ve been the donor not Mitch , so there would’ve been no incest , he was just uncomfortable because the baby would have Clair’s DNA (and likely her features) and they’d eventually have to explain it to the child.
Having some sad, real moments makes comedy shows better. This show was more than just comedy jabs. Either people complain about too many jokes or they complain if anything is serious at all.
He can. But then he won’t be around his son and will miss his wedding. So he can choose to “be himself” and continue to have problems with his gay son or he can try to have a good relationship with his son and change his perspective.
No that’s not “being yourself” that’s being a bigot , my biggest problem with homophobes is not only are they cruel , but they are also cowards , they can’t even own up to their hate they have to hide behind the decade they were born in , or religion , or their personality. No if you’re gonna be ignorant, stand on it.
Two gayen don't have the right yo steal a womans child from her body. Thats what my ex Dr. Mike did and let sone other women pretend to be me and win custody. Ive never met my actual child.
