The Supreme Villainy of Cameron Tucker 

Honestly Cam was bad after S2. He constantly manipulates Mitchell and then gets mad when he is in the wrong. He has his moments of kindness sure, but usually he is just plain selfish and manipulative.

Not to mention Cam didn’t even let Mitch explain as to why he took part in the flash mob in the mall. Cam was right that Mitch can be a little rigid. In fact, Mitch did say that the flash mob dance was actually his love letter to Cam! Mitch actually did try to explain, but since Cam was angry, he actually shouted “YOU DANCED WITHOUT ME MITCHELL”! Sheesh Cameron, Mitchell was just dancing his love letter to you, and the least you could’ve done was show a little bit of appreciation and gratitude!

Just goes to show that even gay people can have abusive relationships too.

I never liked Cam from the start. I always saw him as the guy who blamed Mitchell, never took his side, and only had a few scenes where he showed humanity.

Alex deserved to bitter to her family. She was studious and ambitious thus her reward was ridicule. Really grinds my gears that Claire put pictures of every other member of the Dunphy family on her desk but Alex didn’t make the cut

“Destruction of one of the best characters”……ummmmm Cam was ALWAYS FROM DAY ONE a selfish, narcissistic, tantrum throwing, over critical, dish it out but can’t take it DIVA!

I knew I wasn't the only one who saw how unbearable and toxic new Cam is. I wish that Mitch would just divorce him in the show, he deserves so much better.

Mitch deserves better.

I really didn’t like at the end after Cam has been a super toxic character the show basically rewards him with a happy ending

Lmfao - the laptop episode was one of the best of the series.

cam is a demon feeding on mitchell’s soul. cam isn’t good for mitchell. if mitch was with someone who wasn’t toxic, manipulative, selfish etc. it would help him heal more from his childhood traumas. but since he’s with someone like cam who constantly manipulates mitch into making it all him, mitch can’t begin to heal. it just inflicts more damage. cam is a parasite.

I really don’t understand why in the ballet episode they don’t just ask her for a copy of the video? Or maybe just let her know it blocked their view so it won’t happen again. I feel like if that episode was in the early season it would’ve been about them getting too upset about it, going to confront her, learning her sad story then awkwardly trying to diffuse the situation.

I think something that annoys me a lot was this episode when Mitchell convinced Cam to go to therapy, and out of the blue Cam managed to make years of therapy in one second and the therapist is like "wow, this guy is amazing, come on Mitchell you still need therapy". Even if it was for comedy, it is still weird. Like sure Mitchell needs some therapy, but Cam needs even more. It is crazy to me that they made him so selfish and at the same time, try to convince you that Mitchell is the bad guy. Also, I think it is weird how we are supposed to support their relationship even if it is crazy unhealthy. The other couples also have some conflict, but for Mitch and Cam, it just seems that they have opposed values to the point you wonder how they even get together in the first place.

One thing I’ll NEVER get over is Cam allowing his mom to sexually assault his boyfriend whenever she wanted to. Absolutely. Never. I literally don’t give a fuck whatever excuse he used. Don’t get me wrong y’all - I really love my parents, as in, I’ve always been a mommy’s and daddy’s girl that always came crying to them whenever anything went wrong and it would break me if I lost contact with them. But if I ever found out that my mom or dad were inappropriately touching/sexually assaulting my girlfriend, they’d be out of our life in an instant and I would NEVER allow them to come anywhere near her again. I don’t even care, I’d do whatever it takes to protect that girl. Even if you’re my mom or dad, you won’t be getting a free pass anytime soon. So Cam blaming it on the fact that he’s a mommy’s boy is bullshit in my opinion. It’s honestly crazy how that wasn’t the breaking point for Mitch. Cam literally walked in on his mother touching and inappropriately staring at his boyfriend who was literally naked, and guess what Cam did… He took a fucking photo… Like, what? Excuse me? I will never get how people like Cam. He clearly doesn’t give a shit about Mitchell. Also, is this what you want to teach your daughter as a father figure? It’s okay if someone assaults you as long as it’s someone you’re close to? Really?

There are characters like Cameron that become so bad that it'll lead to people believing all gay men are evil... and then there's THAT GUY. If you know who THAT GUY is, you know. If you don't then that's for the better.

If Modern Family had ended with Mitch and Cam’s wedding as an hour long special, it might’ve gone down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time.

Great video. Another character that God really bad was Manny, he got so annoying it was hard to watch some episodes

I completely agree with what you said. As of the later seasons, he became my second least favorite character after Phil. Only reason why I dislike Phil more is because Phil's stupidity affected a lot of people, not just Claire (like the time where he hurt Luke's eye because his ego was hurt), while Cam's selfish character for the most part only really affected Mitchell. That doesn’t make it any better obviously, but either way, he just has a lot of problems and I am still questioning why the hell they made Mitchell agree to move to Missouri with him. If I were Mitchell, I would divorce him at that point. Mitchell made it sound like Cam made such a great sacrifice by staying in California, but that is BS. Cam initially moved to California out of his own free will, while Mitchell is going to Missouri just for Cam.

I feel bad for Mitchell. His mother is manipulative and his husband is also manipulative. Even his father always is so un loving. Claire is ok.

I learned working in a restaurant that a "hot minute" can be any length of time so long as it greatly exceeds one minute.

Just saw this video and happy that I'm not the only one that realizes that cam is the worst. I didn't like it when he threw mitch under the bus with his sister than took all the credit when mitch offered her the apartment. Not to mention the episode where cam wasted his theater students time just so mitch would admit that he threw away his clown figurine

How odd "Connection Lost" is consistently named the best episode of the series 😅

I always thought he was kind and caring due to his farm upbringing. And the city life was gradually corrupting him, especially that he became a little spoiled by the nicer life, and financial aid by Jay. It made sense to me.

How the hell can you say "Connection Lost" was one of the worst episodes of the show? 🤡 That episode was genius!

Cam was great in season 1, the emotional foil to mitchell. You can see why they are in a relationship. Even season 2 But as it goes on becomes so toxic. Even mitchell becomes a more toxic person

Man. I didn’t know it got this bad. I stopped watching when Andy became more prominent, so I didn’t get to many of these episodes. Thanks for letting me know I didn’t miss much.

His own sister doesn't like him. He reminds me of all the adults in my life growing up and I'm afraid to turn into one of them. I will give it a name "the zombie narcissism" and every once in awhile I have to take a zombrex just to feel normal again and ps, no one talks about this but cam reminds me of dede in a way. Given that mitchell claim he had a good relationship with her just proves the old saying "daughters marry their fathers, sons marry their mothers"

For some reason, despite liking modern family around the time when it was popular, I still never expected to find a Modern Family critical analysis video on anybody’s channel I already watched

Cam is a prancing red flag

It’s so cool seeing my name at the end of the video. Happy to be part of executive team now.

Ooh boy, I could talk about this for ages. In the majority of the episodes in most of the seasons but primarily in the later half, Cam is toxic, controlling, manipulative, and just all-around a bad partner. He treats Mitchell terribly, from diminishing his trauma and belittling him to flat-out not caring when his own mother, Barb, and his sister, Pam, sexually assaulted Mitchell on multiple occasions. He plays on Mitchell’s abandonment issues (such as keeping a packed suitcase to leave whenever he wants), he mocks Mitchell for not being romantic but scorns him when he does (‘Manny Get Your Gun’ is the biggest example of this), and openly scorns Mitchell for having boundaries (‘The Kiss’ comes to mind, but this happens in almost every episode). Additionally, there are so many scenes where he just appears to not care about Mitchell whatsoever; in ‘The Wild’, for example, when Mitchell is left outside alone in the middle of the woods at night, Cam doesn’t care at all, or in ‘Summer Lovin’ when his only priority is to shove Mitchell back into work rather than help him work through what’s really going on/what he’s struggling with. The three worst things Cam has done, however, is 1) in s11 when he lied about Mitchell to their friend group and faked a breakup in order to gain sympathy for no reason other than his own ego, something I have had an ex do to me which makes it more personal, 2) in the episode ‘Mother!’ when Cam is shown to have befriended DeDe (who is portrayed as someone who abused Mitchell and Claire!!) and talked shit about Mitchell to her for their entire relationship, and 3) in the episode ‘Grab It’ when Cam forces Mitchell into a role on stage where he is non-consensually kissed by a girl and forces Mitchell to apologize for ‘ruining his play’ afterward. I won’t even go into detail about the ending of s11 for them, because it makes me SO angry, but Mitchell was forced into that too, even when it was an awful situation that would bring good for no one other than - you guessed it - Cameron. Some people might say that Mitchell is toxic, too. I wholeheartedly disagree, however. One example is, as previously listed, ‘Manny Get Your Gun’, when Mitchell is part of a flash mob to surprise Cam with a romantic gesture, but Cam is ungrateful and angry and just a douche overall. When Mitchell tells Cam he is being sensitive, he is one hundred percent correct. On the flip side, when Mitchell is sexually assaulted by Cam’s mother and voices his discomfort to Cam, and Cam calls him sensitive - that is toxic. That is not okay. That is disgusting behavior. I could go on and on and on about how Mitchell deserves so much better, how Cam is terrible, how the homophobia is so deeply rooted in the show’s writers that they made the one gay couple into one of the most manipulative and toxic relationships I’ve ever seen in media. I could also stress how bad this could be for someone in real life (i.e., ‘my favorite TV couple acts like this and so if my relationship is also like that, it must be healthy!’) or how terrible it is given what we know about Mitchell’s past with shitty boyfriends only to be thrust into this new environment with another toxic partner. But I believe I’ve given enough broad examples to this. Unfortunately, this really can be blamed on the homophobia of the writers/network and of just bad writing itself; sitcoms often fall apart when going on too long, or relationships lose their charm with the audience. That’s my biggest issue with sitcoms, though- I guarantee that no one was laughing when Cam got angry at Mitchell because Cam’s sister assaulted him. TLDR: Cam is manipulative and toxic and shitty, which is why I write fanfiction for them. Because Mitchell deserves better, and in the fleeting, rare episodes where Cam sticks to his pilot version rather than an awful partner, he is just as wonderful. Anyways, my RU-vid recommended knows me TOO well.

I've been waiting for this episode

This ACQ series is always so cathartic.

I haven’t seen all of modern family I’ve only seen a few episodes though even I can tell it’s quality was going down hill. Also off topic I’ve figured out a perfect name for anti-character quest how about character sidetrack

2:15 Looking at this scene, season 1 cam would probably freak out about it more than anyone else. But I really liked modern family overall. The seasons you are talking about are for sure not the best the show has to offer, but i still enjoyed some of the jokes and they had some good moments too. I feel like the writers of the show had a very specific set of characters in mind when creating the show, and when everyone grew older, they did'nt know what to do with them anymore. so they added new characters and changed stuff, which made it worse. I guess for a show like this it would be smart to just end it when everyone is grown up. But even with the flaws, it's a really good show with clever writing most of the time.

Cant wait to see the Community video!❤

You are so talented and amazing.

Yeah.. he really isn’t very nice to Mitchell.

He's gonna wind up divorced.

i know this was a late comment. i love modern family even the later seasons i’ve watched the whole show 3 times. but.. why did they move to missouri poor mitchell and lily especially mitchell. he hated hated that town everyone treated him awful. cam at least loved la. they had that beautiful house and the whole family to love their baby rex. justice for mitchell

I never finished the series, I just lost interest. This sums up why very well. I wasn’t even aware until I saw this video

Great video and great channel.

1:54 Do you think you can do an anti character analysis based on Dede from modern family to

Was anyone else shocked to find out the actor is actually straight?

Watching the show for the first time through and I’m glad it isn’t something I just noticed, I think it is really telling when Jay turns and says that Mitch married his mother, I think it was season 8 or 9 but it has weirdly gone from slightly over the top antics to Mitch just being put down and manipulated for laughs pretty much any episode they are in now.

Glad to see I am among intellectual chads. Cam is annoyingly self-centered

I think these changes were supposed be them going through some sort of a phase as a way of character develepmont. Plan being them getting better as time goes on. (?)

TY FINALLY IVE BEEN SAYING CAM IS THE WORST

I always found Cam annoying whenever I watched it. Mitch was fine

Is there a new video about this or is this a yearly thing?

god i hate him so bad

Cam gets totally Flanderized after S6 and its super sad.

When i tried the show originally, i liked it, but had to stop, because i couldn't stand this guy. Without him, i probably would have finished.

The connection lost stuff was the point cam really spoiled into shit

if the show weren't a comedy, most of the storylines relating to Cam would've fit better in a psychological horror/thriller

Too be honest, I hated this show as soon as it started but it was watchable at points. Seeing this kinda makes me glad I didn't pick it up

Cam is always wanted the center of the attraction. End of story. That's how the character written.

Midern family

How did I get here so early?

you sound like dylan for some reason.

Eh, the problem overall is that they had no where to go that would keep audience attention. I think it's a bit of a flaw to call him too caring in early episodes, everything he does is really for him and he's never quick to truly understand or help someone else. Even when he's "helping" someone else early on, it's always on his own terms and sense of grandiosity. In later seasons they just got honest about who he was and who people with his personality actually are outside of a contrived sitcom hijink. It was poorly executed, but that's what happens several years into a character who started at 11 and doesn't actually interact with the other characters.

Yeah, I loved them but sometimes I felt like their relationship was a little toxic, they were many times arguing with eachother, more than the other families I think; I always loved Mitch and I won't say he was perfect, but he was more mature than Cam, so sometimes I thought, "how are they still together?"

9:40 She was SUCH an insufferable boy mom that it infuriated me!

Cam didn't ask Claire to get him popcorn in Connection Lost - he asked for Garrett's Chicago Mix purchased fresh in Chicago. I pardon him for this

This is why I stopped watching the show.

Okay yall calling him a soul sucking demon is so dramatic 😭

Schmidt from new girl He just got worse as time went on

Cam was bad since season 3 at least lol

Screw the Mother episode man

Keep saying what you like about ned changeing to make the flanderisation trobe I still love him

32 seconds

Yeah Mitchell could do better 😅 There was an ex, Mitchell family was dating 😅

He made the show the best

You don't have to explain flanderization btw

It's a comedy show And cam is the funniest toxic person for me

Boring some dude explaining the plots. Thought it was actual clips

Are u sure ur even like the show? Connection lost is one of the best episodes of the show

Cam is fine. It's Claire and Alex that are insufferable

Can't do your voice, man. I tried.

Sorry, I love Cam.

modern family invented woke you know modern family the series

well your opinion doesn't matter buddy

Y’all dig to deep in the show. It’s a comedy relax. Y’all can’t even enjoy a show without being offended

Please make more videos about kid shows like VeggieTales or Hermie and Friends. Like you used to back into the old channel and before your rebranded. I’m begging you. I’ll give you anything. Besides, now you’re making videos about gay characters. You’ve changed so much.
