Peter Griffin is the central character of Family Guy, the animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane that premiered in 1999, with MacFarlane also voicing Peter. Short voice clips of Peter have circulated for years on meme pages, edits and soundboards because his delivery turns even a single word into a recognizable joke. This stupid line became a go-to reaction as creators reused Family Guy moments for relatable, everyday foolishness, and its brevity and instant recognizability keep it popular in short-form video and chat humor today.
