Intertextuality is the interrelationship between texts, especially works of literature; the way that similar or related texts influence, reflect, or differ from each other. Intertextuality and intertextual relationships can be separated into three types: obligatory, optional and accidental. Obligatory intertextuality is when the writer purposefully invokes a comparison between two types of text. Optional intertextuality is when the text has a less vital impact on the significance of the hypertext. and lastly, Accidental intertextuality is when readers connect two different texts with a certain cultural practice or personal experience, without there being any direct correlation within the original text. This Family guy scene is an example of intertextuality because it is directly referencing a funeral that occurred in Star Trek for their comrade Spock while in family guy it is a hypothetical situation for Stewie’s friend Rubert based on him being kidnapped. This family guy scene is an example of intertextuality because it is referencing the original 12 angry men where in both scenes it is based on a jury having to decide wether a defendant is guilty or not guilty in which one singular member of the jury has a reasonable doubt that continues the debate. This scene from family guy is an example of intertextuality because it is referencing a scene by north by northwest where the main character is being chased by a plane and has to jump down in an attempt to avoid it. This id directly replicated by the scene in family guy where peter does the exact same motions while too being chased by a plane exactly like the one from north by northwest.
