On January 15th, 2012, Season 10 Episode 11 of Family Guy aired, titled "The Blind Side." In one scene, Peter Griffin falls down the stairs after Lois has them replaced. Peter curses while falling down the stairs and lands in a hurt pose with both arms and a leg twisted behind his back.

On May 26th, 2016, YouTuber[2] iPriority uploaded an uncensored version, gaining over 5 million views in six years. This is one of the most popular examples of the pose.

The death pose may be a reference to a pose from season 5, episode 19 of the Highlander television series, released on May 12th, 1997.[11] In the episode, two characters jump to their deaths. Their bodies are seen lying in a pile of rubble, with one character in a pose that is similar to the Family Guy death pose (shown below). It is unconfirmed if this is just a coincidence.
