Peter Griffin is the main character of Family Guy, the animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane that premiered on Fox in 1999, with MacFarlane also voicing Peter. Clips of Peter introducing himself have circulated as reaction audio because the character is widely recognised and his voice is easy to imitate and parody. On soundboards and in short form edits, this greeting became a reusable identity joke, used whenever someone wants an overconfident, instantly familiar entrance rather than a plain hello in their own voice.
