Star Fox Zero has a side mission in that can be accessed in Titania after obtaining the Landmaster's Flight upgrade. In this mission, you play as Peppy Hare, facing off against the Salvadora alone. Notably, every time Peppy performs a barrel roll, he literally shouts "barrel roll!". This is obviously a reference to his iconic line from Star Fox 64, "Do a barrel roll!" that has become an infamous internet meme over the years.
It's worth pointing out that this only occurs in the Western version of Zero, as Peppy remains silent even when barrel rolling in the Japanese version. This is because "Do a barrel roll!" never really became a meme in Japan, as Peppy has a different, less iconic line in the Japanese version of Star Fox 64 when instructing Fox how to roll: ローリングで弾くんだ!, which seems to translate to something along the lines of "use a rolling technique!".

TBH, more than anything, I just wanted to point out the fact that Peppy doesn't actually say "barrel roll" or really anything when doing a barrell roll in the Japanese version of Zero, and that "do a barrel roll!" isn't really considered a meme in Japan.
Yes, I didn't notice this at first so I decided to merge your submission into this new one to compensate, the link you originally submitted is now in the self-source tab.
Didn't I post a submission about this in 2016? Mentioning the easter egg in Star Fox Zero that mentions being able to play as Peppy who continually says "barrel roll".
