OK - I promised myself I wasn't going to spam the questions list with this - but you'll see 5 or 6 replies until someone gets it right.

It's from the 1991 Sega Genesis/Megadrive game, Zero Wing - which has a cult following not for being good (it was average), but for having the most hilariously bad script translation I've ever seen.

Every now and again this seems to break out, though I don't recall it ever leaving gaming sites/groups before ;-)
