Lois Griffin is the matriarch of the Griffin family in Family Guy, the animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane that premiered in 1999 and is voiced by Alex Borstein. Short lines in her distinct Rhode Island accent are widely clipped for soundboards, and this voting line spread as a seasonal reaction during election cycles and online polls. Its appeal is the contrast between a domestic cartoon voice and formal campaign language, which keeps it in rotation for political jokes, fandom edits and lighthearted calls for votes long after broadcast.
