A newly released video clip from ABC offers a sneak peek of Wednesday night's episode of the hit series "Modern Family."

The clips shows parents Claire and Phil Dunphy in the front passenger and driver seats of the family's minivan. As is typical for the Dunphys, even the most rudimentary activities go awry, and this ride is no different.

The chaos begins immediately, as a view from inside the vehicle shows Claire struggling to speak to her brother Mitchell while Phil is playing loud music. The children, seated in the back, are therefore forced to scream to carry on a conversation, which only adds to the chaos. Phil refuses to turn the music down at first, which doesn't help matters, until Claire screams at everyone to shut up.

Then, right after Claire begins to speak with Mitchell over the phone to hash out a disagreement, Gil Thorpe, Phil's nemesis, calls Phil to take shots at him.

"Modern Family" has been one of the highest-rated shows on television since its debut in late 2009, and its ratings have only grown from that point. The show, which stars Ed O'Neill as patriach Jay Pritchett and Sofia Vergara as his wife Gloria, along with an extended, inter-related cast (on the show, that is), has enjoyed huge success since the pilot aired over five years ago.

Although O'Neill was the highest-profile actor attached to the series once the show initially started airing on ABC, "Modern Family" has made big stars out of virtually every other regular castmember since its debut. That includes Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Nolan Gould, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. However, it's worth noting that Bowen had an extended role on multiple shows, including "Boston Legal." Vergara, meanwhile, was already an accomplished model, and was well-known in Latin America.

The show is currently in the midst of Season 6, which debuted this past September.

Tonight's episode airs at 9 p.m. Eastern on ABC. In the meantime, you can watch the sneak peek clip below, courtesy of ABC and People.
