That is a quote from a very poorly translated Japanese video game.
The rest of the dialogue is just as bad, making almost no sense
whatsoever. It's just so bad that you can't help but laugh at it,
kind of like the movie "Plan Nine from Outer Space" by Ed Wood.
Lately it has become an in-joke, with everyone placing
quotes from the game into existing pictures, some of which would
be pretty funny by themselves.
Here's some of the pictures, as well as an animated GIF of
the original video game.
