The 'Hey Beter' meme is a staple of surreal and deep-fried internet culture, originating from ironic reinterpretations of Family Guy characters. It typically features Joe Swanson calling out to Peter Griffin—misspelled as 'Beter'—followed by a series of nonsensical, bass-boosted, or visually distorted panels. Emerging in the late 2010s on platforms like Reddit and Instagram, the meme mocks the low-quality aesthetic of early internet 'Follow for a free gift' posts. It is widely used to create absurdist humor where the punchline is intentionally confusing or satirical, often involving red lens flares and extreme image saturation.
