Line 25:
* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]]: Gloria, of the stepmother variety. She's actually 14 months ''younger'' than Claire.
** In real life, Sofia Vergara has a son in his twenties, so it's both a partial [[Actor Allusion]] and a serious case of [[Older Than They Look]] for Gloria.
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** In "Fears" Phil speculates if there is treasure hidden under the porch and then if the Declaration of Independence is hidden in the attic, a reference to Ty Burrel's character in ''[[National Treasure]] 2''.
** Luke tells Claire it would be cool if their plane crashed like in ''[[Lost]]''; Julie Bowen appeared as Jack's wife in a few episodes (though she never appeared on the island).
** The entirety of "Fizzbo" for Eric Stonestreet, who created the clown character for himself at age 11.
** Pepper says of "Walk Like a Man," "I can sing it but I can't do it," referencing Nathan Lane's character in ''[[The Birdcage]]''.
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: In S2 Ep17, "Two Monkeys and a Panda", Haley insults Alex after Alex complains about Haley wearing Alex's sweater without asking. Haley replies it was the first time the top half got any exercise. (Which is really quite humorous in this episode since the sweater is a form hugging one which made it very clear that Ariel Winter was growing "outward").
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: A non-fantasy example with Cam's list of friends he wanted to invite to his fundraiser in ''Regrets Only'': Longinus, Pepper, Lamichael, Steven and Stephan, aaand... Bob.
