Family Guy Memes Explained
Chloë Grace Moretz was referring to a photo of her being clicked on as she entered the hotel with pizza in her hand.
However, it didn’t take long for the photo to be turned into a scene from Fox’s hit sitcom series “Family Portrait.”
A character based on Moretz’s photo was introduced in the tenth season of the show. It’s included in an episode called Amish Guy.
The character, called Legs Up Griffin, is the aunt of the protagonist Peter Griffin. Seth MacFarlane lent her voice to the role.
However, it was the character’s exaggerated body proportions that caught the audience’s attention. As the name suggests, her legs are long, but her torso is short.
The character quickly became a meme on social media.
