Comes from Starfox 64. A character would command fox to do a barrel roll in order to prevent being shot to deadness.
A barrel roll is when a fighter pilot makes his ship turn over, very quickly, in mid-air. It makes the wings harder to hit.
It's more common practice to shout this phrase at friends while they play video games. Especially if they can't do anything roll-like. The purpose is to be obnoxious, and quote old video games. Two of most peoples' favorite things.

Get the Do a barrel roll!mug. A command spoken by Peppy Hare in Star Fox 64.
An expression for what seems to be the solution to almost every impossible situation (in other words, a way of saying there is no solution.)

Get the Do a barrel rollmug. In Star Fox for the SNES Pepper Hare would ask of you to do a barrel roll. Doing a barrel roll in Star Fox is to press the shoulder buttons twice, pressing L shoulder button then L again would make the R-wing do a barrel roll counter clockwise, pressing the R shoulder button then R again would make the R-wing do a barrel roll clockwise.
utlizing a barrel roll is extremly usful in Star Fox as it deflects most objects fired at the R-wing
The term "Do a barrel roll" is commonly mistaken that it froms from Star Fox 64. It did not. But it was spoken by a voice actor for Peppy Hare in Star Fox 64. In Star Foxes training mode, the game would give you simple tasks. Eventually 3 other R-wings would fly around as you were told to do the same as them, after sometime before the 3 other R-wings would barrel roll Peppy would tell you to do a barrel roll.

Get the Do a barrel rollmug. The controversial quote Optimus Prime is going to say in the upcomming Transformers Live Action Movie. The quote was submitted into the "Make Prime Speak" Contest and is currently by far, holding first place (Thanks to the YTMND Community) among a myriad of other crappy submitted quotes.
Some Flying Transformer Dude: OH NOES!!! I'M UNDER HEAVY FIRE!!!
Optimus Prime: Do a barrel Roll! lol
