Buzzfeed friends thanksgiving episodes12/9/2023 We also get a hard-to-swallow reminder that Jay is, for all his charms, still just a problematic old white man. This episode has it all: deception, World War II-era costumes, and a small child giving a historically inaccurate speech about the meaning of Thanksgiving. ![]() Cam cheated to win a big football game, Mitchell nunchucked himself in the face and framed it as a break-in, Claire unintentionally took a shortcut to win the Turkey Trot, and Phil’s claustrophobia has struck once again, leaving him to face the possibility of being rendered an open air magician. It’s Jay’s turn to host Thanksgiving, and this year, everyone’s a winner… or are they? Nine seasons in, we learn Jay gives an annual toast shouting out one family member who’s made him extra proud that year (I’ll buy it), but this year, both of his kids and their partners have accomplished exceptional things. Ultimately, we get an all-too-rare appearance of roleplaying Phil and Claire, complete with what appears to be Claire’s repurposed Wonder Woman costume, and *spoiler alert* the long-awaited run-and-jump-first-kiss of Haley and Andy (Handy?), making the most non-Thanksgiving episode on this list also one of the best. ![]() And poor Phil just wants to use the owner of the Sexy House’s high tech VR gaming system to play knock-off World of Warcraft. Cam and Mitch, feeling insecure about their ice trays, decide to throw themselves a dance party only to be interrupted by Luke, who is sadly not there to hook up (not for lack of trying, though). Claire sets out to patch things up with Phil after her (justified) meltdown over the bubble bath she didn’t get to take because the tub was filled with oily ducks - yeah, this is the duck season. Haley heads over to cover her tracks after what sounds like the bubble bath of a lifetime and, of course, runs into Andy *swoon* (sidebar to say I’m tentatively stoked to see this electric pair reunite for Bumper in Berlin). In the aftermath of a Thanksgiving leftovers lunch, we learn that Phil is in charge of listing the Sexiest House in the World, and everybody wants in on the remote-controllable action. In 2008, Amazon purchased Audible for $300 million, and today Audible has the largest audiobook catalog in the world, with over 600,000 titles.What would be the best Thanksgiving episode in all of Modern Family history is, to its ultimate detriment for this ranking, barely about the holiday at all. Audible was slow to gain traction and took a beating during the dot-com bust but its luck changed with the release of the iPod and a timely partnership with Apple. But in 1997, with no direct experience in tech, Don and his partners launched the first digital player for audiobooks. He wondered: what if audiobooks could be purchased online and downloaded onto a dedicated player? At the time, the concept was so new that few people knew what he was talking about. He was an accomplished writer who thought there was something special and intimate about hearing an author's words spoken aloud. Don Katz faced these frustrations every day while jogging. The number of titles was tiny, narration was dull, and if you wanted to listen on the go, you had to juggle a bunch of clunky cassettes. Novem Before mp3 players came along in the mid 1990's, listening to audiobooks was a pain.
