This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look.

Peter is depicted with an exaggerated, frustrated facial expression—mouth open as if yelling, thick neck, and wearing a blue suit.

The wheel has two overlaid text labels: 'ACTUALLY RELATABLE MEME' at the top and 'OP IS JUST MENTALLY ILL' at the bottom.
