"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

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It unlocked the cheats. So you could enter other codes, like Scourge and Mitzi, which gave infinite health and all weapons (or the reverse).

I played that game SO much, and was so terrible at it.

I loved the snarky way it would announce Cheater when they were typed in

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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