Snoop Dogg, Lee Iacocca sizzle, fo' shizzle in new ad
DailyBulletin.com - News
I wanted to comment on what I think is one of the most unusual pairings I have ever seen on TV, that of Lee Iacocca and Snoop Dogg. The commercial just cracks me up! :) Plus I wanted to see the exact wording ...
At one point I was thinking that Snoop was saying " Fo-Shizzle, Ike-a-Zizzle". The link bears this out, at least phonetically.
The thought dawned on me tonight, that I might even find pictures of the commercial, by looking on Google's video search ........ Here
But I couldn't find "Ike-a-Zizzle" ... so then I just searched for "Shizzle". There are currently 95 hits for "Shizzle" on Google Video Search. Then I noticed they were spelling it " iaco-zizzle " in their TEXT.
There are 63 hits for "iaco-zizzle". Every hit for "iaco-zizzle" also a sub-hit inside the search term "For shizzle, iaco-zizzle" so you can do 95 - 63 to determine that Google video currently references 32 hits for "Shizzle" that are NOT related to this commercial. Hits from Mad TV, for example .... ;-)
In doing the Google Video Search, I found two things I consider very interesting. One ... on the main page with the search results, the same 4 video frames seem to get snagged each time ... which I have termed "First", "Big Couple", "Little Couple", and "Ride" ..... and Two ... all the TEXT, that I assumed was a machine translation from actual TV video feed, seems to match verbatim. (There are a few messed-up translations of the term "d-O-double-gizzle"). Odd, since I would assume this would typically work similar to the results you get from watching TV news with the closed-captioning turned ON. Read -- occasional messed-up translations.
Once you click on an individual picture, to examine more video snips, in detail, then you DO find that some of the Snoop-Iacocca commercial video gets snagged at different moments in the commercial. The snaps occur at 30 second intervals, and I at first puzzled that perhaps the various networks were using atomic clocks, and THAT might be the reason that the first 4 video frames were being snagged at precisely the same frame in the commercial.
Here is the text from the commercial:
[Dodge Ram pickup pulls up]
Lee Iacocca: Nice Ride.
Snoop Dogg: Thank you, mocca 'cocca. Chrysler and jeep came up on bookoo awards. And Dodge trucks last as long as the d-O-double-gizzle.
Snoop Dogg: Plus... I got the Hook-up, nephew, for sure.
Lee Iacocca: You know, I'm not too sure of what you just said, but now everybody gets a great deal.
Snoop Dogg: For shizzle, iaco-zizzle. It's employee pricing plus.
Snoop Dogg: If the ride is mo' fly, you must buy!
Lee Iacocca: That's what I hear.
[For you folks that don't speak Shizzle .... the term "d-O-double-gizzle" translates to "Dogg" ...... ;-) ]

You should start a Snoop Dogg/English dictionary online.
Hmm .... I responded to this yesterday, and it lost it ...
Anyway ... I'll try to remember what I said ...
Basically, it was about having to be careful about doing so, because Snoop Dogg is currently sueing an auto dealership for using his Shizzle speech patterns and mimicing his style.
My opinion is, that he has waited far too long to do this. He has let Shizzle become generic, in order to increase it's acceptance. Xerox waited too long to claim that it was a trademark, or copyright or whatever, when it let the term Xerox come to connote a photocopy, in a generic sense. Xerox lost the fight to reclaim exclusive use of the term, after it waited too long to trademark it, or whatever the correct appelation is.
