Peter Griffin Saying the N-word

About

Peter Griffin Saying the N-word is a sound in which Family Guy's protagonist Peter Griffin says the N-word, specifically him saying the phrase "You stupid n****r" and the phrase "I hate n****rs." In the show, the character never actually says the phrase and it instead originates from a voice actor and Peter Griffin impersonator who's pretending to play Call of Duty. The sound was used in many Family Guy videos and memes similarily to both Holy Fuck, I'm Coming, Lois and I'm Glenn Quagmire. The sound was also used within Family Guy Pipeline Incident and Family Guy Jumpscare content on TikTok in 2022. Inherently, the meme is also seen by many as racist.

Origin

Videos of Peter Griffin saying the N-word first surfaced on YouTube in 2018, however, all of the original videos have since been removed by YouTube. In 2018, YouTuber yorutuity made a playlist^[1] (since removed) called "peter griffin saying n****r" that compiled eight of the original videos. The playlist was last updated on December 29th, 2018.

The earliest known video in the playlist was uploaded on July 14th, 2018, by YouTuber^[2] Son Goku in which Peter says "I hate n****rs" instead of singing "Bird is the Word." Over the course of one year, the video had amassed roughly 572,300 views and 36,200 likes. The earliest repost of the video was to Reddit's /r/OkBuddyRetard ^[3] on August 8th, 2018, where the video's thumbnail is viewable. As stated, the video has since been deleted and is not even playable on Internet Archive links. Additionally, all YouTube reuploads of the video are censored to avoid removal based on "Hate Speech" guidelines (reupload shown below).

Another notable video example was uploaded on August 8th, 2018, by YouTuber^[4] Lord Jeff titled, "Peter Griffin IS RACIST!!1!" In the video, Peter Griffin is playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, stripped from the episode "Death Has A Shadow."^[5] The YouTuber instead made Peter Griffin say, "You stupid n****r," when killed by another player in the game. Over the course of one year, the video received roughly 40,000 views and 2,000 likes. As stated, it has since been removed, however, an uncensored version was uploaded to Twitter ^[6] by the user KanyeWeast18 on December 16th, 2022 (shown below).
