John Wayne became famous for saying the word “pilgrim” in his iconic cadence, even though he only used it in two of his feature films – My Blog

Adult animated sitcom Family Guy doesn’t make any celebrity off-limits when it comes to their jokes. The cut-away gags are hit-and-miss, but some of them entered popular culture in a big way. Family Guy included Western movie star John Wayne in one of its running gags. As a result, fans can’t stop repeating the joke every year around the Thanksgiving holiday.

Wayne became famous for saying the word “pilgrim” in his iconic cadence, even though he only used it in two of his feature films. However, the delivery of the dialogue and the frequency of its use in one film, in particular, are what made it stick. At the time, the word “pilgrim” was an insult for someone moving from East to West who didn’t know what they were getting themselves into.
The movie star first used the word in John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in 1962. He would once again use it in Andrew V. McLaglen’s McLintock! in 1963. However, Wayne used it to a heavy degree in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, repeatedly calling Jimmy Stewart’s character a “pilgrim.”
Family Guy picked up on how Wayne said the word “pilgrim” with his deep, booming voice. As a result, they decided to include it as one of their running jokes. Family Guy Season 8 Episode 3 titled “Spies Reminiscent of Us” followed Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd moving to Quahog.

Peter Griffin discovers that someone rented the empty house in his neighborhood, where he finds solace using the bathroom for some peace and quiet. He’s initially upset because of the disruption, but he changes his tune when he finds out that Chase and Aykroyd are the people who rented the house. Peter invites them over for dinner, where they offend him after telling him that he isn’t funny.
Family Guy Season 8 Episode 3 finds Peter doing his best impression of Wayne on the first Thanksgiving to try and make them laugh. “I’m John Wayne at the first Thanksgiving, pilgrims! Happy Thanksgiving, pilgrims!,” Peter says, imitating the movie star’s speech pattern. His son, Stewie, bursts into laughter, asking, “Where has this guy been?” Nevertheless, Chase and Aykroyd remain silent.
Meanwhile, Peter joins his friends, Quagmire and Joe, in creating an improv group. However, Peter is unable to think on his feet, relying on his Wayne impression. The Family Guy episode sees Peter repeat the bit, which gets laughs from the crowd, so he does impressions of John Wayne Bobbitt and John Wayne Gacy with the same cadence and reference to the word “pilgrim.”
The running joke with Wayne on Family Guy made quite the impression. Despite the fact that the episode aired in 2009, fans still share the gag every Thanksgiving. Many of them enjoy replicating the line with their best impression of Wayne’s voice.
One Twitter user did the Family Guy Wayne impression in front of their family, who actually thought it was a great impression of the actor.
Another fan took to social media to express that they think about the joke every Thanksgiving. It continues to live on, becoming a part of the holiday for many audiences.

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
