“I DO THE ANNOUNCEMENTS! I AM THE SECOND COMING! I SPEAK FOR GOD NOW!” frantically speaking in tongues “AKUGUBULGABBAGABBAHEY”

"Gabba gabba hey" is from the 1932 movie Freaks and was subsequently used in the 1977 Ramones song Pinhead. It's since popped up in popular culture in various places, including whatever it is that the OP is referencing.

I always thought was 'gobble gobble' pronounced weirdly because they were freaks. Great film. One of us. One of us.

I've gotta be one of six people on Earth who learned about it from Clerks: The Animated series.

It happened in American Dad!, but I'm not sure if that's what's being referenced here.

Gabbagabbahey was one of the cheat codes in descent - I forget what it did

It was also apparently a song by The Ramones! I also thing it was referenced in The Simpsons (but what wasn't).

Huh, TIL...

Thanks!
