The meme originates from Xzibit's expression known from MTV series Pimp My Ride, who would usually go: Sup dawg, we heard you like X so we put a Y in your car so you can Z while you drive.

It has from there changed into: Yo dawg, I (or we) heard yo like X so we put a Y in yo Y so yo can X while yo X.
Yo dawg, I heard yo and yo dawg likes yo yos so we put yo dawg in yo yo yo so yo dawg can yo yo while yo yo yo.
