| 5 | It's just like that time when we posted about memes and silly phrases from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' on TV Tropes... |
| 6 | ---- |
| 7 | !!General |
| 8 | * I got a glock in my 'rari![[labelnote:Explaination]][[https://youtu.be/o4NxJvO7FYA These]] memes involving a scene in which Peter has gone deaf lip synced to the song "[[https://youtu.be/upMfRvvxgkw 679]]" by Fetty Wap became popular in early 2023. This went further and [[https://youtu.be/pX97qjOjnZQ spawned]] [[https://youtu.be/b7tuq1peYgg various]] [[https://youtu.be/VyOekpST8zs edits]] of different media with the same song, as well as cementing the song as an iconic meme sound in general.[[/labelnote]] |
| 9 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sBhc8je8Y0 "Shut up, Meg."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A PhraseCatcher directed at [[ButtMonkey Meg]]. The sentence is frequently quoted whenever someone says anything positive about her character or her voice actress. Mila Kunis herself has said that she has grown annoyed with how often fans react to her statements by jokingly telling her to shut up.[[/labelnote]] |
| 10 | * "Family Guy Funny Moments"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some people have taken logos from random works and edited them to say "Family Guy Funny Moments", presumably to make fun of the countless "Family Guy Funniest Moments" compilation videos on [=YouTube=].[[/labelnote]] |
| 11 | * Hey 🅱eter[[labelnote:Explanation]]A more surrealistic meme, it consists of extremely distorted and StylisticSuck-laden comics in which Peter (or rather, 🅱eter) meets a random character from a random piece of media, and accidentally offends them and ends up either having to flee or suffering a nasty fate. The last panel always must have a "Like for a free [prize]".[[/labelnote]] |
| 12 | * Family Guy Effect[[labelnote:Explanation]]Anytime the show references an internet meme (e.g. Trololo, Chuck Norris facts), said meme will see a [[ColbertBump sudden surge of popularity]] before quickly becoming a DiscreditedMeme. Usually, it's because the show corrupts the meme with an unpleasant rendition, but it sometimes just tires the audience of hearing the meme overused.[[/labelnote]] |
| 13 | * It's been a popular trend to edit the theme song of the show to either have another song playing over it or altering something in the actual visuals itself, like Lois not appearing at the piano, which itself started as a spin-off of the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' theme song meme where Stan doesn't wake up. |
| 14 | * Peter Explains the Joke[[labelnote:Peter here to explain the meme]]Most likely as a way to poke fun of [[DontExplainTheJoke the show explaining jokes often]] or particularly unfunny people on social media using Peter Griffin as an avatar, the meme has Peter explaining the jokes of memes, making them [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny funnier]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 15 | * Stock Family Guy Death Pose[[labelnote:Explanation]]People have noticed most people who die or get beaten near to it in the show end up [[https://twitter.com/SoundSmithTF2/status/1027279198161907718 in the same pose]], back facing the camera with twisted legs and arms behind their back. It's become common to draw other characters in the same pose as a shorthand for them getting either killed or just getting their shit wrecked, much like [[Memes/DragonBall Yamcha and his infamous death pose]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 16 | * [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/002/242/455/d2d.jpg Aww sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the infamous quote by Nikola Tesla, mixed with one of Peter's catchphrases, the image is often edited accompanying messages or news that one finds disturbing, like scary things in video games or cursed memes; although it is sometimes used as a half-sarcastic answer to actually worrisome news.[[/labelnote]] |
| 17 | ** "Aww sweet! A Schizo Thread/Meltdown!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to the above, but in response to Image Board threads that tend to get quite nutty.[[/labelnote]] |
| 18 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ai3WDDcOOo And don't forget to watch Family Guy! Sunday night at sev-]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the old [=YouTube=] video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXFqShppQHs Congrats to South Park]]" by protopod, Protopod himself congratulates ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' for having its 200th episode. It seems normal, but then takes a MoodWhiplash where the Griffins all show up and get shot by him. It's often cut off just as Stewie shows up, for comedic effect.[[/labelnote]] |
| 19 | * My Happy Song/Happy Happy Happy[[labelnote:Explanation]]"My Happy Song" by Super Simple Songs is used as the audio to a viral video of Peter dancing on a car within the Apple Arcade game ''[[MascotRacer Warped Kart Racers]]''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 20 | * Family Guy Pipeline Incident[[labelnote:Explanation]]Beginning around the latter half of 2022, clips of Family Guy with "ADHD videos" like mobile app gameplay underneath began to pop up on [=TikTok=]. The footage underneath the clips is purposely there to prevent any copyright strikes. Much like the "Funny Moments" compilations above, they seem to keep showing up with no signs of stopping. The trend also began being applied to other series like ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'', ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', and later on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. As for where the "pipeline" term came from, it comes from a trend in said videos that involve an "oddly satisfying" clip of a metal pipe being filled up with cigarettes. The algorithm often recommends "Family Guy Pipeline Incident" in the search bar as a result.[[/labelnote]] |
| 21 | * Peter answers the door[=/=]"Holy crap, Lois! It's [X]!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A series of images of Peter opening the door and seeing either a famous fictional character or internet celebrity.[[/labelnote]] |
| 22 | * Lois is a police officer.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Chief Misty Luggins from ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys2022'' is voiced by Creator/AlexBorstein, as well as having a similar color palette as Lois, it became very popular for ''Family Guy'' fans to joke about Lois becoming a police officer.[[/labelnote]] |
| 23 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVFHkAzWAnc "Giggity!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Quagmire's catch phrases. It is often used outside of the show in response to {{Accidental Innuendo}}s or anything presented in a sexual manner, sometimes said in rapid succession. (i.e. "Giggity-giggity-giggity-giggity...")[[/labelnote]] |
| 24 | * Gum/Craig Meyer[[labelnote:Explanation]]Family Guy shitposters often refer to Quagmire as either "Gum" or "Craig Meyer". Both names originate from bizarre comments relating to Quagmire and are often paired with particularly OffModel screenshots of the character.[[/labelnote]] |
| 25 | * Rajshahi Indian Restaurant[[labelnote:Explanation]]Rajshahi Indian Restaurant is an Australian restaurant that gained infamy in 2022 due to an absolutely bizarre viral marketing campaign, which was in large part comprised of ''Family Guy'' shitposts themed around the restaurant. The campaign received enough exposure that the restaurant's owners eventually were interviewed by Know Your Meme.[[/labelnote]] |
| 26 | |
| 27 | !!Season 2 |
| 28 | * Big Stu[[labelnote:Explanation]]Big Stu is the nickname given by ''Family Guy'' shitposters to a version Stewie that appears in a cutaway gag from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS2E19TheStoryOnPageOne The Story on Page One]]" as a portly adult who operates a "big and tall" clothing shop. Due to his distinctive appearance, he's become somewhat of an ironic MemeticBadass in shitposting circles.[[/labelnote]] |
| 29 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W23LKD9Z1hw "Because you touch yourself at night."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Wasted Talent", this was originally a sarcastic, nonsensical response to young Peter's question of how the dinosaurs died out. Fans have repeatedly employed the quote to express annoyance or simply to make fun of certain questions.[[/labelnote]] |
| 30 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9j3heYZAk8 "Ssss... Ahhh... Ssss... Ahhh..."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]An OverlyLongGag from "Wasted Talent", where Peter hurts his shin and spends a long time writhing and nursing the wound. It has seen a sudden abundance of remixes in 2018, where Peter's sounds of pain are replaced by other sounds, or even quotes, from other media.[[/labelnote]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | !!Season 3 |
| 33 | * Taking the audio clips of Creator/BillCosby from "Brian Does Hollywood" and remixing them to various songs combining them with Cosby's voice clips from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' was quite popular on websites such as Platform/YouTube and Website/{{YTMND}}. |
| 34 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8dJ7gMWQQ "Thank you, Ted. That was the joke."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]"Screwed the Pooch", spoken when Peter and Carter go to a poker game with Carter's buddies Bill Gates and Creator/MichaelEisner, and UsefulNotes/TedTurner (who Gates and Eisner both hate) shows up uninvited. When Peter says that Aces "go both ways" (i.e. are both high and low), [[HehHehYouSaidX Bill Gates cracks up and points out the double entendre]], and everyone at the table laughs. Then Turner dumbly says, [[DontExplainTheJoke "Like a bisexual!"]] Used to mock people who make jokes less funny by unnecessarily explaining them.[[/labelnote]] |
| 35 | |
| 36 | !!Season 4 |
| 37 | * [[SchmuckBait "Don't go to [X]. Worst mistake of my life."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Captioned pictures of a promotional image for "North by North Quahog" that contains Peter running in fear, with "go to [X]" being directions to a specific place and/or time, from web pages and image searches to historical events, with no indication of what awaits there other than some form of unpleasant information.[[/labelnote]] |
| 38 | ** "I told you, Peter."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A piece of fan art of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy Cloud Strife]] standing besides a comatose Peter as a result of the above.[[/labelnote]] |
| 39 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Y6SEV4Ca0 Brian Griffin Jump Scare]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A clip from "Don't Make me Over" of Brian angrily barking at the viewer while running towards the screen went viral in 2023.[[/labelnote]] |
| 40 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHUMaJphBdE "Who wants chowder?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In "8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter", Peter holds a vomiting contest with Brian, Chris, and Stewie; which culminates with the four puking simultaneously when Lois asks them if they want chowder. The scene soon became infamous among fans, who started editing it in numerous ways. Common practices involve inserting audio from the episode in scenes from movies that also have VomitIndiscretionShot, or vocoding the family's groans to the tune of famous songs.[[/labelnote]] |
| 41 | * Who else but [X]?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the "Who Else But Quagmire?" bit from "Breaking Out is Hard to Do". Often used to describe an action that a person or company would be well known for by now.[[/labelnote]] |
| 42 | * The Four Peters[[labelnote:Explanation]]A gag in "Model Misbehavior" where Peter plus [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin three other Peters]] start singing [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"]] acapella. Remixers online have used it to make everything from [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} "MEGALOVANIA"]] to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion "A Cruel Angel's Thesis"]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 43 | * ''♫Here's the plain situation! There's no negotiation with the fellas at the Freakin' FCC!♫''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A song from "PTV" that mercilessly makes fun of the Federal Communications Commission's censorship. It received plenty of [=AMVs=] back when that was still popular, and remains a catchy song even still.[[/labelnote]] |
| 44 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD1n-DKUIeE "WHERE'S MY MONEY?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most memorable moments of the show in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E20PatriotGames Patriot Games]]", when Stewie is savagely beating up Brian for not having his money come 24 hours (which is the time slot Stewie gave him). This scene went viral on [=YouTube=] and spawned variations, including animations and recreations in other media.[[/labelnote]] |
| 45 | * "What the hell is this?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A cutaway in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E25YouMayNowKissTheUhGuyWhoReceives You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives]]" depicting Noah's Ark has Noah reacting to the hybrid offspring of an elephant and a penguin. The scene became an object-labelling meme where the penguin-elephant is represented as something that would be considered a hybrid of two existing things (ex. ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' + ''VideoGame/PlayerunknownsBattlegrounds'' = ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'').[[/labelnote]] |
| 46 | * Peter did not care for ''Film/TheGodfather''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Near the end of "The Griffin Family History", Peter admits that he could not get into ''The Godfather'', with the rest of the family (sans Meg, who was elsewhere) [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow being absolutely flabbergasted at him]]. This is often made into a snowclone meme used to describe a number of popular things that, for one reason or another, [[SoOkayItsAverage someone just couldn't get into]].[[/labelnote]] |

| 48 | !!''WesternAnimation/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory'' |

The scene became an instant hit for Al's enthusiasm in the commercial, spawning tons of video tributes, groups on Facebook and Flickr, [=YTMNDs=], and merchandise. Nowadays, it's hard to mention the real-life inflatable tube people without someone calling them "wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube men".[[/labelnote]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | !!Season 5 |
| 53 | * Peter watches [X].[[labelnote:Explanation]]"Mother Tucker" features a parody of ''Film/TheRing'', in which Peter is told that if he watches a video tape, he dies. The scene is often edited so the contents of the tape are changed to random clips, often as a form of TakeThat towards a work that the editor dislikes.[[/labelnote]] |
| 54 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRMIx9cX73Y Peter and friends rollerskating at the rink.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Hell Comes to Quahog", the scene where Peter, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire rollerskate at the disco rink became popular to edit other music while they're dancing around to express "me and the boys vibing".[[/labelnote]] |

| 56 | * Remember when TV Tropes only listed tropes about TV shows? Pepperidge Farm remembers.[[labelnote:Explanation]]"Hell Comes to Quahog" has a Pepperidge Farm commercial that features an old man blackmailing the viewers into buying Milano cookies. The meme has since been used to express the GloryDays, such as MTV playing music videos, [=YouTube=] not being as copyright-happy, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking how there used to be only 150 Pokémon]] (and an extra one, Mew).[[/labelnote]] |
| 57 | * "Peter, what are you doing?"[[labelnote:Crack.]]A scene from "Peter's Two Dads" where Brian and Peter discuss the latter doing cocaine to help with his drinking addiction. It is popular to edit the scene by replacing what Peter is saying or redrawing it. Also, in January 2023, a lot of {{YouTube Poop}}s of this scene were uploaded.[[/labelnote]] |
| 58 | * Peter is Electric Man Vocoded to [X][[labelnote:Explanation]]Various vocoded remixes have been made with the scene from "No Meals on Wheels" in which Peter keeps shocking his family using static electricity from his pajamas.[[/labelnote]] |
| 59 | * "You can't catch me, gay thoughts!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Meet the Quagmires", there's a cutaway gag showing that the reason Creator/TomCruise is running in all of his movies is that he's running from his own gay thoughts.

He ends up becoming wildly overprotective and chases away a boy she had recently started dating. After that, Meg confesses that she's worried that she might be pregnant with his child, and Peter does not take the news well, walking to his house while loading a shotgun all while insisting to a protesting Meg that he "[[BlatantLies just want(s) to talk to him]]". This clip is often paired with a statement that one strongly disagrees with, is considered ridiculous, or is inaccurate, jokingly implying that the poster wants the person who made the statement to be shot.[[/labelnote]] |
| 63 | * "Why are we not funding this?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]"[=McStroke=]" involves Peter getting a stroke, which is fixed through stem cell research. This is Peter's response to how the treatment only took 5 minutes to take effect, which has been used as a reaction image to anything that deserves more attention.[[/labelnote]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | !!Season 7 |
| 66 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNrx2jq184 "Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard..."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From "I Dream of Jesus", right before Peter starts singing The Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" in front of Brian and Stewie.

| 67 | ** Peter sings "Surfin' Bird"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A RunningGag from the same episode where Peter [[OverlyLongGag constantly]] sings "Surfin' Bird". Everything from the silly way he dances to his continuous singing of the song has been used and parodied in many memes, ranging from playing the ''Family Guy'' version over humorous montages to showing characters from other media reacting in annoyance to the song and using the dance in other memes like the "Peter Dances to Happy" meme, and this association has resulted in a renewed popularity of the original song starting in the late 2000s and continuing to this very day.[[/labelnote]] |

| 71 | * "Peter... the horse is here."[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Family Gay", Peter brings a mentally challenged horse into their home, which starts to follow the family everywhere they go, including the kitchen. This scene went viral in 2022, where Peter's reaction after Lois' speech is replaced with a stock cartoon running sound effect. Some edits also often degrade the video's quality to impossible levels.[[/labelnote]] |
| 72 | * "LOIS TRIPS ON HER CHEST AND GRABS HER BOOB. '''''LAAAAAAAAAAME!!!'''''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Originally from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iy6_tNythw&t=0s the infamous rant from [=DogsEatingDogs6=]]]; during a segment wherein he criticizes the show's frequent usage of recycled jokes, he shouts this line over "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E10FOXyLady FOX-y Lady]]"'s reuse of the knee joke from "Wasted Talent". It received an explosion in popularity after [=YouTuber=] [=DeadwingDork=] covered the video (among other videos from the same user) during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIb_8OoyCR0 one of his livestreams]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 73 | * "Ah! Ah! He said it! He said it!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Originates from a CutawayGag in the episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E12Episode420 420]]" where Peter gets excited when he hears [[TitleDrop a movie's title being said in the movie]].

| 74 | |
| 75 | !!Season 8 |
| 76 | * "If that DVD even touches ''Film/{{Road House|1989}}'', I'll kill you."[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E4BriansGotABrandNewBag Brian's Got a Brand New Bag]]", Peter excitedly buys a copy of ''Road House'', and the store clerk also gives him a DVD of ''Film/WhatDreamsMayCome'' for free, which Peter rejects, and after the clerk insists on taking it, Peter answers with that line. This often used to mock products so poorly received that EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt.[[/labelnote]] |
| 77 | * "YOU STUPID N-"[[labelnote:Explanation]]"[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E16AprilInQuahog April in Quahog]]" ends on a scene of Peter playing ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2''. This scene would recieve a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKx2nIFzUHo voiceover]] in which Peter rages over being killed by another player, while using the N-word multiple times. Its beginning would become popular on the internet, often inserted into other ''Family Guy'' clips and complete with the HardCut just as Peter says the word.[[/labelnote]] |
| 78 | * Brian F[=***=][=*=]d Quagmire's Dad Vocoded to [X][[labelnote:Explanation]]It's become a meme to take the infamous last five minutes of "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E18QuagmiresDad Quagmire's Dad]]" and sync it through vocoding to any memetic material, from "Africa" by Music/{{Toto}} to "Take On Me" by Music/{{Aha}}.[[/labelnote]] |
| 79 | * Brian's scream after his VomitIndiscretionShot from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E18QuagmiresDad Quagmire's Dad]]" has become a StockScream for Brian in most fan edits made about him, including accompanying him being run over in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E6LifeOfBrian Life of Brian]]". |
| 80 | |
| 81 | !!Season 10 |
| 82 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlheJaTzxzI "You guys always act like you're better than me!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Seahorse Seashell Party", Meg gives her family a huge TheReasonYouSuckSpeech; after she says this line, the family is suddenly dressed in fancy attire to prove her point. Subsequent versions of the meme depict Meg as an entity complaining about similar things with more mainstream popularity.[[/labelnote]] |
| 83 | * "Oh! Okay!" ''(NeckSnap)''[[labelnote:Explanation]]One CutawayGag from "Stewie Goes for a Drive" has [[https://youtu.be/tUsjPz6p4zA Peter cheerfully saying the above line, then snapping his own neck]] when Lois offers to let him join her book club. Many people replace the book club part with a pet peeve of theirs.[[/labelnote]] |
| 84 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAuw5dxQFg Peter eating rice cakes]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Amish Guy", Peter decides to try out rice cakes after being told it's a good way to start a diet and his subsequent freak-out after trying one is the subject of many parodies on [=YouTube=].[[/labelnote]] |

Edited clips of those scenes with the album replaced with anything else became popular in 2022, started by a [=TikTok=] edit using ''WebAnimation/YourFavoriteMartian'' fanart and [[https://youtu.be/IvnQ7q1XiCI?si=S6gdW0Po7gIh3eIt one on YouTube]] with WebVideo/NathanielBandy's profile picture.[[/labelnote]] |
| 86 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvU2StQfyM Peter paints the truth. He paints his truth.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "Tea Peter", Peter Griffin paints a family portrait. His painting shows the mother and daughter in lingerie, making out; the father and son watching calmly. Wanting to know what Peter did, he responds: "I painted the truth. I painted my truth." A standard ShipperOnDeck meme, it didn't become popular until Peter painted a picture of [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin Boyfriend and Girlfriend]]; his "truth" being the two having sex.[[/labelnote]] |
| 87 | * "Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Tea Peter", the scene where Peter responds to this after Quagmire asks him if he ever [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext unwittingly masturbated to pictures of his mother]].

Check out the look on Lois' face when I do this."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Peter wrecking the front yard with his car in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E5JoesRevenge Joe's Revenge]]" has been repeatedly edited to feature Peter causing havoc in all other kinds of works with the car, including [[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E6LifeOfBrian running Brian over]].[[/labelnote]] |

| 94 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adzkOv0vvDI "BRIAN, LOOK OUT!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Stewie says this in "Life of Brian" as Brian is about to be fatally struck by an oncoming car. Due to the episode's negative reception as a RatingsStunt, the death scene in question is often edited to have the car replaced by a different car, or something else altogether like [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Galeem's light beams]]. Other times, the death ''itself'' is used for meme fodder, with edits having Brian emit ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' "oof" noises or [[EverybodyLives having Brian actually live through the video]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 95 | * [[https://youtu.be/Jbvk2rQa8wo Toilet Quagmire]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E18BabyGotBlack Baby Got Black]]", a sleep-deprived Peter hallucinates Quagmire turning into a toilet.

| 100 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arnF_g7_TKE "Dancing, walking, rearranging furniture."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS14E12ScammedYankees Scammed Yankees]]", Carter Pewterschmidt parodies the music video of "Virtual Insanity" by Music/{{Jamiroquai}} in a cutaway.

Peter takes advantage of the situation to ask God some questions. One of them is if atheists go to hell, to which God replies that they don't.
