Derived from Star Fox's 'Barrel Roll', the phrase is used to interrupt a person from saying something uninteresting or out of the conversation.
Person 1: That was a hell of a ride
Person 2: I mean it's a new 370z customized, you've gotta expect something worth while...
Person 3: What kind of an engine does it use? I mean I personally think with 4000 cc...
Person 1: Barrel roll.
Example 2
In a blog contest
Person 1: so I just wanted to say, screw those bastards and live your life as you want it to be.
(applauses)
Person 2: Today, I received the mail from my parents that Sylvie died. A drop of tear fell from my watery eyes as I reminisced about the last time I saw her. She was old. Older than I, in a dog's age....
Audience 1: barrel roll.
