1. To deliberately produce something so bad it's good. Creating something genuinely campy would be the perfect shatnerization. While not quite as unachievable as exceeding the speed of light, perfect shatnerization is as difficult as bowling a perfect game.
(Note: This does not infer that Shatner's early musical works are deliberately campy. They do, however, set a standard.)
2. To parody yourself (a la William Shatner's commercials for Priceline).

The "How Berkley Can You Be" parade is a day for Berkleyites to shatnerize themselves.
Newsweek: Doesn't it bother you that your version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a camp classic?
William Shatner: ...yes, in the beginning it bothered methat people singled it out and poked fun at it. They didn't know what I was doing. The album, "The Transformed Man" is much more extensive than that song. But since people only heard that song, I went along with the joke.
Newsweek: Uhh...OK Bill.

Get the shatnerize mug.The unavoidable consequence of male aging wherein one's cranium enlarges to grotesque proportions and career options dwindle.
Friend: Dude, what's wrong with your head? You look hydrocephalic, or something.
Me: No, but I just turned 41...
Friend: Oh, then it's probably just you're getting Shatner Head.
Me: Is it terminal?
Friend: Yes.

Get the full Shaner mug.Total social media overkill. When you write a tweet on Twitter, and use so many hashtags, it reads in the halting, choppy way William Shatner speaks. Example: " #Free #today #books you will #love #amwriting #paranormal #romance but with a #happyending."
I hate reading that dude's tweets. He uses too many hashtags. If I get another Shatner tweet like that, I'll unfollow him.

Get the Shatner tweet mug.The distinct smell of the internet connection offered by most cablecos and telcos in exchange for massive amounts of money from their monopoly customer base, of which they care so little they shit the bed with glee.
I tried watching netflix, but once again, it's sharter.
