About
Peter Griffin At The Door refers to series of exploitable memes involving Peter Griffin from Family Guy reacting to various characters at the door of his house. The memes are sometimes accompanied by the snowclone "Holy crap Lois, it's X!" This format was an inspiration for many fan artists, who redrew it to fit characters from other pop culture references. Like Sneedposting or Maskposting, the meme has been heavily criticized for being forced and rushed. Although it's believed that the format started out as something regular Family Guy does, it's origins briefly took place on April 2018 before it was primarily popularized on 4chan and Reddit on that same year and then carried on as of 2020 onto sites like Twitter, iFunny, YouTube, and many more platforms.
Origins
While origins of this is clearly unknown, an example of this could trace back in this original scene of Peter opening the door and being surprised comes from season 15, episode 20 titled "A House Full of Peters," which aired on May 21st, 2017. In this episode, Peter donated his sperm back in the day and his long-lost daughter, Katie, comes to their house (seen below).
On April 12th, 2018, Twitter[1] user RealMarkProd tweeted the earliest known example of the scene involving Peter Griffin meeting Sans from the game Undertale, receiving over 1,100 likes and 377 retweets in two and a half years (shown below, left). On May 6th, 2018, YouTuber[2] named VvvvvaVvvvvvr uploaded a video of Peter Griffin meeting Sans, receiving nearly 74,000 views, 1,800 likes and 200 comments in two and a half years (shown below, right).
Spread
The meme continued to spread via 4chan and Reddit while heavily criticized for being too similar to a fellow Simpsons shitpost known as Sneedposting. More of these were posted throughout 2018 on the /v/ board featuring similar dialogue made for the show. Usually, they would consist of fan-made characters or otherwise based on Seth MacFarlane's drawings as they would be created in Family Guy's own "Family Guy Yourself" page.[3] On April 23rd, 2018, Redditor kirbizia posted another meme of Peter meeting Sans on the /r/okbuddyretard[4] subreddit, receiving over 1,700 upvotes and 42 comments in six months (seen below).
Several examples were posted on a 4chan[5] thread by anonymous users to the /co/ board. One such example included a redraw of Jotaro Kujo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (shown below, left). Another example in the thread featured Sonic from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise (shown below, right).
On July 18th, 2020, Redditor LackaTaskk posted a version to the /r/yakuzagames[6] subreddit featuring Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza video game franchise, receiving over 3,200 upvotes and 64 comments in three months (shown below, left). On October 20th, Redditor thekilomight67 posted another variant to the /r/scottthewoz[7] subreddit depicting YouTuber Scott The Woz, receiving over 4,900 upvotes, 67 comments and several Reddit awards in 22 days (shown below, right).
On November 5th, Twitter[8] user petervisit tweeted another example depicting Banjo and Kazooie from the Banjo-Kazooie video game series, accumulating over 3,300 likes and 180 retweets in six days (shown below).

Yeah. This definitely won't get stale anytime soon…
It's like Sneedposting. Family Guy shitposting are as good as Simpsons shitposting. They're both great. And I'm tired of pretending that they're not.
Did you do it yet?
Sneedposting isn't even funny though, it's just idiots spamming "sneed" in response to literally anything.
That's the point. See, like Sneedposting, this "Holy crap Lois it's X!" is also forced. With Sneedposting, it's using its unfunny juokes based on a blink-and-you'll-miss joke that wasn't funny to begin with. This is the same with what nu-Family Guy has become.
"this "Holy crap Lois it's X!" is also forced"
How is it "forced" ? And at least it's different things each time. Sneedposting isn't even funny or creative at all, it's just people spamming "sneed" in response to anything. How is that funny?

I have seen these memes way earlier. Like a year?
That's why this entry is a work in progress. Doing more research.

If anyone wants to help contribute by editing this entry, I'm definitely all for it.
I don't see what the joke is supposed to be in most of these. I suppose drawing random characters in the Family Guy artstyle could count as the joke, but a lot of these don't even do that; they just copy-paste a picture of a random character at the door with zero relevance or context provided.
Well, both Family Guy and Simpsons have the exact same trouble and that they're Fox's biggest cashcows that were once quality but were worn out by later seasons and became shit. I'm glad Futurama ended even if the Comedy Central revival wasn't as good as the original. American Dad's TBS revival has its moments but it's not as good as the Fox series.
The joke is about the absurdity of Family Guy's writing and how you could put any random pop culture reference into the show and it would not feel out of place
Just like what the Simpsons has been doing nowadays post-2000s.

Am I really going to post one of these with my Self-Insert OC Avatar?
Of course I am!
Of course I am!
I swear I've been seeing these (the deoxys one in particular) rampantly on /vp/ and /v/ for at least 2-3 years now. They're also often accompanied by greentexts filled with family-guy-esque dialogue.

Personally, I think the best ones are the ones done in the family guy art style, but a lot of these are great

I'm honestly surprised it took this long to get a page, considering it's been a somewhat big meme for over 2 years now.

holy shit this NEEDS TO BE UPDATED
tbh they're funnier when drawn in the show's art style
agreed
I get so many comments complaining about how it would've been funnier if it was implemented in the same art style. If you didn't read the entire article, there is a link from the official Family Guy website that let's you create it yourself. So if you're someone who couldn't pay attention, here's the link:

Create your own Seth MacFarlane-esque character in all its glory.

Okay mods, please read before you delete this comment.
Please stop deleting these images. They happen to do with the meme in question. Family Guy, the show itself, had guest appearances on the show long before the sperm donation episode being that as an example, and you keep assuming this is the only example there is and assume Peter Griffin is supposed to be answering the door, which may I remind you, IT ISN'T. Did we even watch the same fucking show? No wonder I can't contribute to this meme anymore. It seems as if like I created a monster. This meme in question was a bad idea.
