The line comes from South Park, the animated series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that premiered on Comedy Central in 1997. Voiced by Parker, Eric Cartman made respect my authoritah a signature catchphrase while playing at being a police officer in the early seasons, complete with sunglasses and a nightstick. The exaggerated pronunciation turned a simple demand into one of the show's most quoted jokes. It spread through reruns, merchandise and early internet clips, and still appears in memes about anyone abusing a little power.

Cartman from South Park shouting respect my authority in his classic angry voice, used for funny power trip and bossy reaction clips online.
This is Eric Cartman from South Park delivering his famous respect my authority line in a shrill, overconfident shout. The delivery stretches the last word into authoritah, making a child in a toy police outfit sound completely serious about his fake power. It lasts only a few seconds but the pitch, attitude and instant recognition make it land as both a threat and a joke. Viewers hear it and immediately picture Cartman demanding obedience nobody intends to give him, which is why the clip works as a perfect parody of petty authority.
