It's no secret I'm a fan of Snoop Dogg and all of his hilariousness both in and out of the music world. As a performer and a genuine pop culture character, he is unique and always entertaining, be it on the latest hip hop chart topper, or simply popping up randomly on TV or in film. His latest foray into multimedia has him promoting the new X Box 360 game "Facebreaker," which sounds a bit too aggressive to be one of Snoop a Loop's chart topping hits of recent years.
Having become a character unto himself, a modern day Andy Kaufman if you will, Snoop's commercial has to be one of the best 30 seconds of advertising I've seen all year, and probably better than most Super Bowl commercials of recent memory which likely had production value in the stratosphere next to this simple concept. I'm always a fan of someone who can give others the joy of laughter while putting across the notion that the image they put out there is genuine; Snoop Dogg is one of these rare individuals, so whether a fan or not, he has my respect as a unique, honest, funny, and entertaining person.
Whenever he randomly pops up in films, it is always welcomed, and usually hilarious. His turns in "Starsky and Hutch," "Training Day," "The Wash," "Half Baked," and "Old School," be it a cameo or if he is front and center, Snoop brings his persona to every role he plays. You could say he's one of those performers that, no matter what the role, will always be known to the audience in their original incarnation. The same can't be said for such performers as Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, or Johnny Depp. Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell, they have it to a certain extent, but what Snoop Dogg has that he puts out there for the public's entertainment, is unmatched.
Feast your eyes on this commercial and prepare for some side-splitting laughter that will leave you "looking different," as the man himself proclaims.
