About
"Who The Fuck Starts A Conversation Like That? I Just Sat Down!" is a scene from the Family Guy episode "Tea Peter", which first aired on May 13th, 2012, depicting Quagmire starting a conversation with an obscure or unpleasant fact. The scene became an exploitable meme in which the opening line is replaced by other quotes. It is also used by itself as a reaction image.
Origin
In the episode,[1] Peter tries to run an unlicensed pharmacy, which is quickly shut down by the local government. Peter then visits The Drunken Clam to cool off from his frustration. Quagmire starts the conversation with "Hey, you ever accidentally masturbate to young pictures of your mom?", to which Peter replies "Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down!" (clip shown below).
