http://aybabtu.com/ I'm not going to waste my time to explain as there are plenty of much more in depth sources explaining the timeline of the "all your base" internet trend. Basically it stems from a badly translated sega game called Zero Wing.

The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. While the translation was generally poor, this phrase stood out as particularly humorous. lol
