The 'Peter Griffin Saying the N-word' meme stems from a series of ironic or 'edgy' memes that place Family Guy characters into high-intensity situations, often parodying heated gaming moments or toxic online lobbies. It typically features a still or a low-quality edit of Peter Griffin looking determined or stressed, accompanied by text suggesting he is about to utter a slur, though the humor usually lies in the subversion of that expectation or the sheer absurdity of the scenario. This trope gained traction on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Discord, where it became a staple of 'ironic' shitposting culture, highlighting the bizarre contrast between the goofy nature of Family Guy and the dark humor of the internet.
