When it comes to t.v. show characters, I don't think I've ever related to someone as much as Modern Family's Phil Dunphy. We all have spirit animals, and Phil is definitely mine. He's a very peculiar individual– one who tells cringe-worthy puns, awful jokes and tends to always find himself at the center of an embarrassing moment. He's quite the character, and I'm sure all of us have experienced our fair share of Phil moments.
Here are 11 reasons why Phil Dunphy is my spirit animal:
1.) He takes his time to brainstorm impactful comebacks to send to his enemies.
2.) He's an unrealistic dreamer.
3.) He likes to think he knows how to dance.
4.) He tends to overreact when everything is actually going fine.
5.) He thinks he's cool, even though everyone else thinks otherwise.
6.) He acknowledges the fact that the real world is nothing like his favorite movies.
7.) He doesn't make the best decisions under pressure.
8.) He's really good at coming up with realistic and believable excuses to get you out of trouble.
9.) He keeps it real and doesn't sugar coat anything.
10.) He tends to say things that don't quite sound right... 
11.) He thinks simply, and gives the best advice.
From his goofiness to his fun and loving advice on life, it's hard not to love him. From these reasons and countless others, Phil Dunphy is definitely my spirit animal. He radiates some of the best qualities people can have and is ultimately relatable among money. Phil is, quite possibly, the world's greatest dad, the world's most loving husband and undoubtedly, the best character on Modern Family.
