About
Listen Up, Christopher is a series of video edit memes in which clips of Chris Griffin from Family Guy are interrupted by a deep voice-over that says, "Listen up, Christopher Griffin," then proceeds to lecture Chris about what he did wrong in the clip. The memes were popularized in January 2026 on TikTok, along with a sister format, Nightmare Freddy Lectures, which similarly sees Nightmare Freddy from Five Nights at Freddy's interrupt video clips to scold a character for doing something wrong.
Origin
On January 1st, 2026, TikToker[1] @pluundrs posted an edit of a clip from Family Guy season 15, episode five, in which Chris Griffin announces during the new year countdown, "Some animals give me boners!" In the edit, Joe Swanson, represented by a deep text-to-speech voice, lectures Chris on why it was wrong for him to say that. The video gained over 2.6 million views in three weeks.
