What's all this then?


Where does the line "'Allo, 'allo 'allo. What's all this then?" come from???
One day William busted it out with this crazy voice (British accent, according to him). The way he said it bothered me and made me laugh at the same time, and when I asked him what the hell it was, he simply said "It's what British people say." I didn't believe him. Who says that?
But then today he told me that he heard it on "Futurama" as well as on "Class of 3000" (both are cartoons by the way). So I had to google it.
I was shocked to see the results.
However, I could not find the origin of this line. Is it a reference to something? Or is this what British people really say?

Geez, blogger sure is strange. See, what had happened was...

I can see Will saying the line and not even expecting you to question it. Knowing him he was like "What the...where DID it come from? I was just being the cool guy that I am and now look what it got me!?"


Usually when people say that, it's accepted as part of the lexicon and isn't garnered much response (other people actually repeat it). I can't even think of where it started, all I see in my head is some homely British dude with a bear trap grill saying it to me.
