Family Guy Season 20 Perfectly Revived Stewie's Most Iconic Line
Family Guy revisited one of the show's most iconic lines in a perfect callback for longtime viewers. Seth MacFarlane's show has become a force in animated comedy over its 20-season run, introducing now-famous characters and tons of memorable quotes, including “Mom, Mommy, Mama...” from Family Guy season 5, episode 1, which aired in 2006.

Stewie enters and begins a plea for attention by repeating variations of Lois’s role over and over — "Mom, Mommy, Mama..." — for half a minute. Lois’s frustration boils over and she yells, “What?” at an unaffected Stewie, who gleefully replies, “Hi” and runs away giggling.
