Ben Shapiro Reacts To Being Referenced On ‘Family Guy’

Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro reacted with good humor after being referenced on Sunday night’s episode of the adult animated comedy, “Family Guy.”

“Happy to hear I was on Family Guy last night, but bummed the entire scene didn’t make the cut, so watch to the end of the clip,” the conservative commentator shared on X.

He also reacted to one specific line of the bit, writing, “BTW my new book Lions and Scavengers is coming out 9/2 and you’ll be number 3, dumb dog.”

In the clip, the family dog named Brian Griffin, who is also a staunch liberal on the series, is upset to find out that his previously published book “Faster Than the Speed of Love” has returned to the bestseller list because it’s being promoted by conservatives.

“Hey look, did you see this?” Stewie Griffin asks Brian. “Your book, ‘Faster Than the Speed of Love,’ is back on the shelves.”

“Really? Nice!” Brian replies.

“With a new forward by Ann Coulter,” Stewie adds, prompting Brian to respond, “Less nice.”

“And a very forward by Lauren Boebert,” says Stewie.

Brian proceeds to read the foreword. “When I’m not rubbing my hand over a tented khaki, I’m curled up with a copy of Brian Griffin’s excellent book. And does anyone know how ‘Beetlejuice: The Musical’ ends?”

“Ugh, my book is being co-opted by the Right,” Brian complains. “Gross!”

“And it’s selling,” Stewie tells him. “It’s number two on the neo-Nazi best seller list, behind Ben Shapiro’s ‘Tyranny: How the Radical Left Made Me Bad at Sex.’”

The scene next cuts to a cartoon version of Shapiro saying, “Oh God. It’s that kid and his dog again. Never as good as ‘The Simpsons,’ not nearly as smart as ‘South Park.’ I wonder how [show creator Seth MacFarlane] still writes this from inside the closet.”

Most of Shapiro’s followers found the extended version of the clip hilarious, which was reflected in the comments.

“Even when they cut the scene, you still stole the show,” one person wrote.

“Iconic,” another agreed.

“‘Family Guy’ or not, I’m just here for the sass and the book drop,” a third person replied.

“Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics)” is Shapiro’s first book in four years, and he recently called it his “most important book, certainly my most passionate.”

“Lions and Scavengers” will release on September 2, 2025. It is now available for pre-order.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
