The "Yo Dawg Heard You" meme originated from the MTV show "Pimp My Ride," featuring host Xzibit. In the show, Xzibit often surprised car owners with extravagant and sometimes humorous upgrades based on their interests. The meme humorously exaggerates this premise, using a specific formula: "Yo dawg, I heard you like X, so we put a X in your X so you can (do X while you do X)." It plays on the concept of something being inserted into itself, often leading to recursive or absurd outcomes. This meme format exploits redundancy for comedic effect, quickly becoming a popular internet phenomenon.
