# Peter Griffin At The Door Holy Crap Lois Its X Peter Griffin At The Door is an exploitable Family Guy redraw meme where Peter opens his front door to a surprise guest, usually captioned with the snowclone 'Holy crap Lois, it's X!' The format started in April 2018 with Peter meeting Sans from Undertale and spread through 4chan and Reddit as a template for shoving any pop culture character into the scene. ## Overview Peter Griffin At The Door is built on a simple visual: Peter Griffin from Family Guy standing in his open doorway, mouth agape, delivering the snowclone line 'Holy crap Lois, it's X!' where X is swapped for whatever character or celebrity the artist wants to jam into the frame[1]. Fan artists redraw the scene from scratch, matching the flat Seth MacFarlane house style so each crossover reads as if it aired on the show[4]. The joke gets its weight from Peter's dumbstruck reaction being aimed at guests who would never plausibly turn up on his porch, from Undertale's Sans to Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu[5]. The format sits next to Sneedposting and Maskposting as one of the Family Guy / Simpsons shitpost templates that anons kept iterating on through the late 2010s, and it drew similar criticism for being forced and rushed[4]. ## How It Spread The template moved to Reddit on April 23, 2018, when user kirbizia posted their own Peter-meets-Sans redraw to r/okbuddyretard, collecting over 1,700 upvotes and 42 comments in six months[3]. From there anons on 4chan's /co/ and /v/ boards ran with it, producing redraws of Jotaro Kujo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Sonic the Hedgehog in the same thread[4]. The format broke back into wider circulation in mid-2020. On July 18, Redditor LackaTaskk posted a version featuring Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series on r/yakuzagames, hitting 3,200 upvotes and 64 comments in three months[5]. On October 20, thekilomight67 posted a Scott The Woz variant on r/scottthewoz that pulled 4,900 upvotes and 67 comments in 22 days[6]. Twitter user petervisit added a Banjo-Kazooie redraw on November 5 that got 3,300 likes and 180 retweets in six days[7]. ## How to Use People typically redraw the front-door scene themselves rather than photoshopping, keeping Peter's stunned pose and the porch background but swapping the visitor for a character from a fandom the audience cares about. The caption usually keeps the 'Holy crap Lois, it's...' opener and finishes it with the crossover character's name[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Peter Griffin At The Door Holy Crap Lois Its X?
