<p>Wilford Brimley’s mispronouncation of “diabetes” in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXQaMaBxwRg">this timeless advertisement</a> was simply too good an opportunity for the internet to pass up. Oh, exploitable!</p>

<h2>Usage</h2>

<h2>Family Guy Effect</h2>
<p>Wilford & his diabeetus officially entered the wider cultural consciousness with an appearance on the popular TV show <em>Family Guy</em>. This “Family Guy Effect” is widely considered an indicator that a meme has reached maturity and is due to jump the shark.</p>
