Actually, hes a full-out friggin jerk once he realizes that Mikes getting more attention than he is.
See, Mike is thecoolbrother.
Hes the one who went to space and who got with Christine, Phils onetime crush.

Apparently Mike left for space right after, meaning the two never had a chance to make up.
Everyone quickly takes to the nickname, including Carol: Theres my sexy skidmark!
she coos before getting in bed with him.
Itdoessound kinda cute when she says it like that, though.
Once theyre in bed, they finally talk about Phils confession that hes shooting blanks.
Carol theorizes that she could be infertile as well, a possibility Phil immediately shoots down.
Im sure youre fertile, he says.
I mean, you haveso manyperiods.
These two are simultaneously the weirdest and most adorable couple on TV.
Someone whos not losing: Todd.
He thinks theyre joking (me too), but, nope, theyre totally sincere about it.
Im sure this will work out wonderfully!
Phils still feeling jealous about Mikes popularity, so he announces hes throwing his own party that night.
This is the part where Phil has a temper tantrum thats half pathetic, half heartbreaking.
Hes just a joke to the Tucson crew; Mikes a star.
Maybe he was just running away from his problems because it hurt too much, though?
Or maybe Im just buying into Mikes charm like the rest of them.
Anyway, Mike leaves, and the rest follow.
Mike shaved his head in his sleep to get back at him.
SothatswhyWill Forte was sporting the lookat a January party.
The only good thing about this?
Phil got what he wanted: Hes once again the center of attention.
