The 'Get Better Material' meme originated from a Season 10 episode of the animated series Family Guy, titled 'Joe's Revenge.' In the scene, Lois Griffin attempts to perform stand-up comedy, only to be met with a heckler who bluntly shouts the iconic line. The image of Lois standing on stage with a nervous or blank expression has since become the go-to reaction for internet users to mock repetitive jokes, outdated trends, or uninspired social media takes. It is widely used across platforms like Twitter and Reddit to signal that a person's humor or argument is unoriginal and needs a fresh perspective.
