The line comes from Gamer Poop, a YouTube parody series that re-dubbed cutscenes from popular games with improvised, nonsensical dialogue. This moment is taken from the second Mass Effect 3 episode, where familiar BioWare characters are given crude jokes instead of their original lines. Clips from the series were widely shared on forums and soundboards because single phrases worked out of context. Butt Pirate survived as a short, reusable insult that Mass Effect fans and meme editors still recognise instantly.
