'Family Guy' iconic scene
Although the dialog in this episode is based on a brief conversation between Brian and Chris, the show revolves around a fight between the family dog, Brian, and little Stewie. When the dog inquires about Stewie's well-being after the fight, Chris, who runs a Quinceanera dressmaking store in the family kitchen, persuades Brian to try on a dress.
The conversation moves the plot along by revealing Stewie's son is on the mend, but it wouldn't be 'Family Guy' without a little comedy, and Chris asks Brian if he feels as "bonita" as he looks on.
How the viral sound is being used?
As you can guess, most TikTok designers use the soundtrack similar to the 'Family Guy' clip. Usually person 1 exaggerates the enthusiasm of "bonita" person 2, who is less enthusiastic. One user wrote, "I feel Bonita!"
