Family Guy: 10 Hilarious Stewie Griffin Memes Fans Will Love

Family Guy is one of those shows that’s always had a rather edgy sense of humor, and one of the foremost purveyors of this humor is Stewie, the youngest of the Griffin children. He’s also proven to be quite the popular subject for various memes, which is always a good indication that a character has become part of the zeitgeist.

What’s particularly notable about so many of the Stewie memes out there is how well they manage to capture the everyday woes and struggles that normal people face. Not too bad for a baby that’s somehow far more intelligent than he should be.

10 That Signature Ennui

It’s no secret that 2020 has been a rather bad year for many, what with the numerous crises currently affecting the world. Sometimes, the only thing that a person can do is to take a sip of a particularly strong beverage and hope for the best.

As this Stewie meme implies, at some point, it’s easier to just say that everything is fine rather than trying to think or worry about things too much.

9 We’ve All Been There

The power of memes is that they often manage to capture some elemental thing about human nature, or at the very least, some struggle that most people have experienced.

In this case, most people can probably relate to a situation in which they’ve had to repress their feelings about a given situation, even though they’re screaming on the inside and ready to explode. What’s more, this meme aptly points out that, more often than not, it’s pretty obvious what that person is really thinking.

8 A Great Mashup

Stewie is the one character in the show that has probably changed the most from how he was originally envisaged. Fans will remember that in the early episodes that one of the running gags was that he seemed to have it out for his mother Lois, and he wasn’t going to rest until he saw her in her grave.

This meme takes these early episodes and mashes them up with the famous Kill Bill films and the results, one has to admit, are pretty darn hilarious.

7 He’s A Tough Guy

Stewie is one of those characters that really tries to act like a tough guy. Underneath it all, however, he’s a very sensitive little boy who just wants to be loved by everyone. It’s this contradiction that makes him such a great character on the show.

The true brilliance of this particular meme, however, is that it not only manages to poke fun at Stewie’s lack of self-awareness regarding his feelings, but it also draws awareness to the toxic idea that men aren’t supposed to cry. Here, Stewie plays a tough guy and pretends he doesn’t have feelings, when in reality, he is quite emotional.

6 A Self-Aware Meme

There’s no question that this is the age of the meme. They’re everywhere, and there are memes for almost any occasion. What’s more, there’s almost no object of popular culture that can’t be turned into a meme if a person is determined enough to do so.

Here, the humor comes from Stewie’s awareness that he’s in a meme. Given how meta and self-aware the show usually is, this doesn’t really come as much of a surprise.

5 The Joys Of Snapchat

This meme is one of the edgier ones featuring Stewie, but once again, it’s all about poking fun at myths surrounding masculinity.

At the same time, this meme brilliantly nods to the way Snapchat allows people to change their appearance in multiple ways, opening up new avenues of expression for its users. Stewie, as someone who has played with gender more than once, is a perfect avatar for this phenomenon.

4 Child’s Play

Anyone who’s ever had a sibling knows that things can get kind of heated and there’s a particular sort of smugness one can get when they manage to land a deft rhetorical blow.

Peter and Brian are well-known for their sparring with one another — as well as getting into all sorts of crazy hijinks — so it makes sense they would make a perfect fit for this particular meme.

3 The Power Of Imagination

If Stewie has a real love for anyone in his life, it would have to be his teddy bear, Rupert. They’ve shared quite a lot together, and he seems to be the only one that Stewie can completely trust.

Though he’s a pretty common stuffed animal on the outside, as this meme suggests, in Stewie’s mind, he’s actually quite intimidating. It’s understandable though. Everyone needs a best friend that they know they can count on as a source of strength.

2 We All Want Attention

There are many things in the online world that are frustrating, but one of the worst is posting something — particularly a good meme — and then having no one really pay attention to it, let alone approve it.

And, since this the age in which everyone wants approval, it’s easy to see why people get frustrated and, in turn, why they would turn to none other than Stewie Griffin — who sometimes does some very bad things to get attention — to express that outrage.

1 It’s Not Quite The Same

There’s no question that Hamilton is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the 21st century. Clearly, however, there are some people who still don’t get it, nor do they get why people would want to go see it when they can just listen to it at home.

As this meme makes clear, there really is no comparison between seeing live theater and listening to a recording, especially if the recording is a baby without much talent.
