Whenever you see Jay Pritchett's name, do you hear it in Gloria's thick Colombian accent?

Jay Pritchett is such a conundrum in the TV show Modern Family. He's grumpy, closed-minded and painfully stuck in his ways but, every now and then, there are glimpses of a selfless, lovable teddy bear beneath the whole grumpy boomer façade.

In the beginning of the show, Jay was a very unlikable character. He struggled to bond with his step-son Manny, frequently bullied Phil and appeared to never fully come to term with Mitch's homosexuality. However, as the show progressed, Jay's character ark became one of acceptance, tolerance and, above all else, love.

Played brilliantly by Ed O'Neill, Jay was the stern but fair voice of reason that frequently kept the wacky family from tearing each other apart. Although the Dunphy's and the Prichett's certainly had their differences over the course of 250 episodes, Jay was typically the peace maker who was able to smooth things over in the end with a piece of wisdom or a kick up the backside.

With that in mind, just how well do you think you can remember some of Jay's most iconic speeches?

1. "You Have To ____ To Drive The Rest Of Us Home."

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
