I'm Glenn Quagmire

About

I'm Glenn Quagmire is a creepy Family Guy video that uses a clip of the character Glenn Quagmire saying, "I'm Glenn Quagmire," and the echoes of Peter Griffin saying, "s*x with children," in the background. The video, akin to YouTube Poop content and subliminal messaging, was made moldy, over-pixelated and low quality over time on YouTube, iFunny and TikTok in 2021 and 2022. The sound has also been added to other video templates over the years. The original Family Guy scene is a Jackass parody stunt called "Bee Bush."

Origin

On November 9th, 2008, season seven, episode five of Family Guy titled, "The Man with Two Brians"^[1] aired on American television. In the episode, Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Joe Swanson, Cleveland Brown and Glenn Quagmire decide to film their own Jackass stunts. In the segment, Quagmire does a stunt called "Bee Bush" in which he puts honey and bees on his genitals, prefacing it by saying, "I'm Glenn Quagmire" similar to the style used on Jackass (YouTube upload shown below).

On January 25th, 2017, YouTuber^[2] SpigotTan posted a video (since deleted) titled, "ytp pedofile." It was a Family Guy YouTube Poop that used footage from Quagmire's "Bee Bush" scene and became the predominant inspiration and first memetic use of the "I'm Glenn Quegamire" sound online. The YTP also used other Family Guy soundbites, such as Peter Griffin saying, "sex with children" over and over again. The video was removed from YouTube sometime in early 2019, however, on May 16th, 2019, YouTuber^[3] 52367 reuploaded the video, giving all credit to SPIGOTTAN^[4] and earning roughly 121,400 views in three years (shown below).

Spread

The "I'm Glenn Quagmire" clip spread to Twitter^[5] in late 2019, however, viral usage didn't occur. The clip predominantly trended in currently unknown Discord servers from 2019 to 2020 according to various Twitter^[6] users.

Other videos using the "I'm Glenn Quagmire" soundbite surfaced on YouTube throughout the aforementioned timeframe, peaking in October 2020.

The "I'm Glenn Quagmire" clip and SpigotTan's YTP received more notoriety going into 2021 and 2022 after the videos spread to TikTok and elsewhere. For instance, on August 31st, 2022, TikToker^[7] whotookredpie reposted a YouTube video originally made by YouTuber^[8] WorldOfWarcraftPro1997 in June 2021 and then looped and reuploaded by YouTuber^[9] the113zone on August 22nd, 2022. TikToker whotookredpie's video received over 4,000 plays in two months, however, a more viral upload of the same video was made on September 25th by TikToker^[10] bigjuicyoiledupmen, gaining roughly 22,300 plays and 1,100 likes in one month (shown below, left).
