  • This trend combines a scene from Family Guy with an eerie 'no signal' melody from a Backrooms-related video. Creators animate a character walking through an imaginary hallway, following Brian Griffin's directions to turn left, right, then left, before hitting a 'BRICK WALL!' The turns are synced to the beat of the music, and the punchline is the character comically crashing into the wall.
