Do a Barrel Roll is an iconic quote from the 1997 Nintendo 64 game Star Fox 64, spoken by the character Peppy Hare. In the game, Peppy shouts the advice to protagonist Fox McCloud to help him evade enemy fire by spinning his Arwing. The phrase became a massive internet phenomenon in the mid-2000s, spreading across forums like 4chan and eventually becoming a famous Google search Easter egg. It is typically used as a sarcastic response to any situation or as a nostalgic reference to early 3D gaming. The meme represents one of the earliest examples of gaming dialogue transcending its source material to become a foundational piece of internet culture.
