The famous criticism made by Peter Griffin on “The Godfather”, which has gained popularity online, has been traced back to its source by the creator of “Family Guy”. In a Season 4 episode titled “Untitled Griffin Family History”, the Griffin family takes refuge in a panic room in the attic after being inspired by the movie “The Butterfly Effect”. While hiding away, Peter passes time by recounting the family’s history. The most memorable scene occurs towards the end when the Griffin family believes they are about to perish.
In Peter’s concluding admission to his family, he admits that he didn’t take a liking to the renowned Francis Ford Coppola movie, “The Godfather.” When asked for his reasons, Peter explains that the movie is overly self-important, using the phrase “it demands attention.” This statement has been circulating on social media, with some viewers considering it an insightful critique. Interestingly enough, Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the popular series “Family Guy,” revealed on social media that this specific phrase was actually a quote from his college film history professor.
Given its popularity, let me share an interesting tidbit: My college film history professor often critiqued “The Sound of Music” by saying it was overly self-indulgent. Despite his excellent teaching abilities, I’ve always found this comment hard to grasp.

“It Insists Upon Itself” Scene Explained
In recent times, this topic has been quite popular, as MacFarlane mentioned on X. He recalled that his college film history professor criticized ‘The Sound of Music’ using the phrase “It insists upon itself.” Despite being a top-notch educator, MacFarlane admitted he never fully understood this critique. This scene, which has been well-liked since Season 4, often resurfaces online. Its popularity surged once more when a fan suggested it was a strong point, but MacFarlane’s account of its origin seems to contradict that view. It appears that Peter may have looked a bit out of his depth for making such an argument, given he hadn’t finished watching the movie yet.
The running gag in this scene often revolved around Peter’s disregard for “The Godfather,” despite his family trying to explain its merits. In fact, it was one of the few instances where Stewie’s speech became comprehensible to everyone, as they all took part in the ensuing argument. This specific scene has been revisited in “Family Guy” multiple times, notably during Peter’s hallucinations while he was in a coma in the Season 18 episode “Coma Guy.” It appears that even after many years, the “Family Guy” team still cherishes this scene titled “It insists upon itself,” just as much as its viewers do.
What’s Next for Family Guy?
At long last, fresh episodes of “Family Guy” will grace our screens this coming winter. Originally planned for a fall 2024 return alongside other beloved animation shows on FOX, the release has been pushed back to the midseason winter schedule of 2025 instead. Now that the wait is over, these new episodes will premier on FOX during the 8:00PM EST time slot on Sunday, February 16th, temporarily replacing “The Simpsons” in the network’s Sunday evening programming lineup.
To mark its 25th anniversary, you can now stream all previously released episodes of “Family Guy” only on Hulu. The platform also offers an exclusive Halloween and Christmas special that were released last year, ensuring there’s plenty for fans to watch before the new episodes air next month.
