The Yo Dawg meme, also known as Sup Dawg, features a smiling photo of rapper and Pimp My Ride host Xzibit. It originated in late 2008 on the 4chan imageboards, satirizing the repetitive and often absurd modifications made to cars on the MTV show. The format relies on a recursive linguistic structure—mentioning an interest, then explaining how that interest has been embedded into a related object so the user can enjoy it simultaneously. While Xzibit himself initially had mixed feelings about the meme, it remains one of the most enduring Advice Animal era templates, symbolizing the peak of early 2010s internet culture and the art of the meta-joke.
