What is the family guy pipeline incident on tiktok?

The Family Guy Pipeline Incident is a “related search” algorithm glitch on TikTok started by Family Guy clip accounts that used oddly satisfying videos of a metal pipe being filled with cigarettes and carrots, purportedly to avoid copyright strikes.

Starting in mid-November 2022, Family Guy clip channels on TikTok started using an oddly satisfying series of videos showing a man putting cigarettes and carrots, among other objects, into a metal pipe, cutting them to match the pipe’s shape and then gluing them to repair it.

The “Family Guy pipeline incident” glitch occurred in mid-November and inherently sparked interest and memes as to what “the incident” was. Additionally, because TikTok was recommending the search, Family Guy clip accounts started exploiting it by writing “family guy pipeline incident” in their bios, hoping that people would get these videos recommended to them.
