Here at the top 5 Snoop Dogg moments from the Olympics for TikTok Tuesday.

In addition, he had become one of the biggest cheerleaders for team USA. In the stands, he is dressed head to toe in patriotic gear. And that's not all. The best part of that gear has been his T-shirts.

Instead of designer labels, they depict the faces of the Olympians who are competing. Think of what that must be like as a beach volleyball player to look in the stands and see your picture emblazoned on Snoop's chest. His arms in the air cheering and dancing.

It's usually the other way around. This is just one of the many ways that has been endearing himself to viewers of all ages.

By the way, the photo at the top of the story is his reaction to one of gymnast Simone Biles' gravity defying feats. It has since gone viral with all kinds of funny memes. There are so many video of him on social media from the Olympics, it really was hard to pick only five to highlight here.

Badminton Commentary

This commentating on badminton is hilarious. I'm not sure I ever realized that this was an Olympic sport until now. 

Steeple Chase Commentary

Snoop makes "Tippy Top" the phrase of the day in this one. It is an accurate although not technical description. He joins another announcer for giving us a play by play of the steeple chase event. 

Equestrian With Martha Stewart

Equestrian is a another big event and one that Snoop gets a little help from. His BFF Martha Stewart joins in the dressage competition. Snoop has been  open about his fear of horses and talks about it here too. 

Swimming At The Olympics

Snoop has been doing more than commentating, He has also been participating. He gets into the action with many of the athletes includng swimming super star Michael Phelps. Check this out.
