The Top Ten
1 That was hardly porn. It was a topless woman on a tractor. You know what they call that in Europe? A cereal commercial.
This is the sort of thing you'll get from Phil quite often.
2 I was gonna tell Claire about the dog. I was just waiting until she was in the right mood. Actually, I did get one right mood a couple nights ago… but I cashed that in for something else.
Who hasn't done that same thing? Gotta take advantage when you can.
3 I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers; it turns out I’m one of them. It’s a miracle I didn’t end up a stripper.
Not a good image...
4 So Laura’s trying to test me? Bring it on. I’ve been tested my entire life. They could never find anything.
I don't know this show, but this is funny.
5 I’ve always said that if my son thinks of me as one of his idiot friends, I’ve succeeded as a dad.
Perfectly suited for any father.
6 Alex is teaching herself Chinese so she’ll be useful when they finish buying us.
7 Cheerleading in my college was cool. The football players were so jealous they wouldn’t even let me and my buddies, Trevor, Scotty and Ling go to their parties.
That's what I tell myself too. They're just jealous.
8 I know it's hard to believe but I was actually a bit of a nerd back in the day. And it was suggested I was out of my league when I landed Claire, by Jay mostly. And my friends, and my parents...and Claire.
We all have someone out of our league...
9 Whoa that warmer drawer really works. It's like my mom's hugging my feet again.
10 Just a warning, I haven't shampooed professionally since college and that was only part-time to pay for my cheer gear.
The Contenders

12 Prepare to Phil the agony of Dunpheat.
