Family Guy creato♔r Seth MacFarlane has revealed the origins of one of the show's most famous lines – and it's not what we were e🍸xpecting.

Taking to Twitter, MacFarlane shared a clip from Family Guy that's become a meme. The scene shows Peter Griffin and the others moments from drowning, when Peter decides ꦕto share one of his deepest secrets: he doesn't care for The Godfather. His reasoning? "It insists upon itself."

"Since this has been trending, here’s a fun fact: 'It insists upon itself' was a criticism my college film history professor used to explain why he didn’t think The Sound oཧf Music was a great film. First-rate teacher, but I never quite followed that one," MacFarlane explained.

Just search "it insists upon itself" on Twitter and you'll see how often peopleไ use it as a critique of other movies – and now people are debating whether it's a valid criti🏅que at all.

"Dud🎐e I've seen so many threads of people taking the 'it insists upon itself' joke seriously over the years and I'm lowkey happy as hell MacFarla﷽ne has set this shit straight," . "IT'S NONSENSE"

"I do think 'It insists upon itself' CAN be used as a legitimate critic🧸ism," . "The Departed for example, is a movie that genuinely insists upon itself. Like holy shit I get it the movie is about rats I don’t need you to remind me every 5 minutes aಞnd have a CGI rat at the end."

"'It i🍨nsists upon itself' actually being the♒ perfect way to describe so many things," .
