Origins

In October 2002, a Geocities page with a "Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop" image macro made its way on to the internet. The idea behind this website was rather simple and clear: Jeff Goldblum shall be watching everyone poop. The photo itself originates from a particular scene in the 1986 horror remake The Fly. According to the archives of the now-defunct website, the real deal was to put up the image macro in public bathroom stalls to bring lulz for those sitting on the toilet.

On a related note, this meme precedes the infamous Ceiling Cat is watching you masturbate, a spin-off of the original that became popular on 4chan as part of Caturday image macros.
