All the "good sir", "hello thar", monocle stuff dates back to the SA forums, which is where 4chan originally grew out of amongst other places. It was considered funny by some, but quickly grew out of control as people with no working sense of humour took up meme-repetition as a substitute.
There was a time when you could get your account deleted for saying "good sir" on SA, it was that prevalent and annoying.
A lot of the lulzsec schtick reads like classic SA banter, I wouldn't be surprised if topiary used to post there. It could just be because of the aforementioned SA-->4chan lineage.
