The Family Guy Pipeline Incident and Family Guy Jumpscares refer to a genre of surreal internet humor and shitposting where seemingly normal content or a logical progression of events (the pipeline) abruptly cuts to a distorted or unexpected clip from the show. This trend gained massive traction on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels in late 2023, often utilizing loud audio or low-quality filters to create a mock analog horror vibe. The meme parodies the way social media algorithms lead users down strange rabbit holes, ending with the inevitable incident of a Peter Griffin cameo that serves as a modern-day Rickroll or jumpscare.
