Hm...well, "teach your grandmother to suck eggs" has been an old folk saying for many a century, dating back to the medieval serf period in Europe, so I think "happy happy joy joy" used it there. However, the folks at Bioware may have been inspired by the Ren and Stimpy usage of the phrase, so you may be right as well.
