This line comes from Family Guy, the long-running American animated sitcom centred on Peter Griffin and his family in Quahog. Peter's outburst about ripping the knob off fits his familiar pattern of escalating a minor irritation into a loud, theatrical complaint, which made the moment easy to lift out of context. Shared on soundboards and in short-form edits, it became a handy shorthand for losing patience with an object or a situation. Its appeal endures because the rant is short, recognisable and instantly communicates frustration without needing the original scene.
