Family Guy is a long-running American animated sitcom centred on Peter Griffin and his family, and Peter's exaggerated outbursts have become one of its most recognisable traits. Short clips of him losing his temper circulate widely as reaction sounds on soundboards, in memes and in short-form videos, where the cartoon anger can stand in for real frustration without any explanation. Because the character and the style of humour are so widely recognised, the sound still works as instant shorthand for going over the top.
