What Does 'Bonita' Mean And Why Is Chris Griffin Asking, 'Do You Or Do You Not Feel Bonita?' TikTok's Viral 'Family Guy' Meme Explained
Family Guy memes have had a big resurgence on TikTok this year, inspiring viral formats like Dancing, walking, rearranging furniture and Kill Peetah. The latest addition to the pile has Chris Griffin asking, "Do you or do you not feel bonita?" and it's going big-time viral on TikTok. But what does "bonita" even mean and how did the meme get so popular? Here's what you need to know.
What Is The "Do You or Do You Not Feel Bonita" Meme And What Does "Bonita" Mean?
The scene where Chris Griffin asks Brian, "Do you or do you not feel bonita?" comes from the 11th episode of the 16th season of Family Guy. In the scene, Chris fits a Quinceañera dress on Brian and asks him, "Do you or do you not feel bonita?" Brian admits that yes, he does feel bonita and Chris replies, "Wonderful, becuase you look bonita!"
"Bonita" is the Spanish word for "beautiful" or "pretty." So, when Chris asks Brian if he feels bonita, he's asking him if he feels beautiful. The scene was uploaded to TikTok in December 2022 and gained over 750,000 views and it was uploaded again in January, when it went viral as an original sound.
How Is "Do You or Do You Not Feel Bonita" Used In Memes?
Although the original sound for the "bonita" audio has been deleted from TikTok, all the videos remain available by searching 'do you feel bonita.' The most popular videos are lip dubs to the dialogue.
In the videos, one person asks another person (or even a pet) if they feel bonita, then turns the camera to the participant, revealing them with a notable haircut, makeup look or style. The trend is largely ironic, with the subject usually looking silly or subjectively not bonita. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, so really, it's up to you how to interpret each look.
