Modern Family season 1 episode 9–Fizbo

http://imgur.com/Vy0SlNK

Luke 的生日因為在感恩節附近，所以常常被大家遺忘，於是 Phil 決定幫他舉辦一
個盛大的生日派對，Claire準備了一些手工藝品要做梳子套，卻完全不受小朋友歡迎；
Manny試圖引起一個心儀的女生注意，卻一直失敗；Cam壓抑不住心中想要扮演小丑的慾望
，化成 Fizbo 現身 Luke 的生日派對，沒想到原本美好的生日派對在一隻毒蠍子失蹤之
後變成一場災難。

本集是我個人非常喜歡的一集，一個短短的生日 party 卻用了許多交錯的鏡頭，製
造出懸疑感，同時也在 20 分鐘內交代出角色們的性格，這些特性也都會在接下來的幾季
繼續出現，第一次看的時候我真的一直在猜到底是誰受傷了，大家看的時候有猜到嗎？

§摩登家庭小趣聞：這一集的靈感來源其實是源自於飾演 Cameron 的 Eric
Stonestreet，他在現實生活中也曾扮演過小丑，而 Fizbo 則是 Eric Stonestreet 他爸
爸替他取的小名，劇中一整套 Fizbo 的服裝都是 Eric Stonestreet 自己的喔！
