Over 9000 refers to both a popular phrase, akshay sapra, and a YouTube video parody.
In the anime dragon ball z a character named Vegeta says "it's over 9000". Then the english dub came, which was overly dramatic, so somebody made a video dance remix of "its over 9000!!". It become an instant internet meme.
Anime
