Steve Irwin was based, bankers should rot in hell, and pedophilia is bad.

I love Steve Irwin but when ever he's mention all I can think is "now I'm going to shove me thumb up its butthole and get it really pissed"

I wonder who else has had their celebrity status genuinely impacted by South Park?
Brian Boitano for sure, "What Would Brian Boitano Cook" was basically a riff on the song/joke

I grew up on the Sunshine Coast. I met him a couple of times as a kid as he was casual friends with one of my uncles because they went to school together at Caloundra. Apparently he found that whole Southpark butthole thing hilarious.

Steve Irwin is weird for me, because it is like the guy exists in two worlds. One is the media world we all know, and the other is the fact I come from the same little area of the world he does, which isn't big and everybody knows everybody else and their business going back generations. The way my uncle describes him is that Steve was odd, but odd in a good way that people couldn't help but like him, and what you saw on TV wasn't an act.

It is weird seeing someone I remember vaguely as a kid before he got famous being known by everyone around the world and almost always discussed in positive terms.

Fun fact about the other appearance of Steve on South Park was that their intent was not to ridicule Steve Irwin's death, but to ridicule people that try to dress up as someone that recently died. It of course backfired immensely.

Bo selecta did the same joke of the stingray in his head and trey and matt were reported fans of that show so they knew that they were mocking him dying in a stupid way. very much like norm's joke on the daily show
 
"Good day! I'm Steve Irwin and welcome to Crocodile Hunter, today we are outside a synagogue where an animal so vile that it cannot be named without fear of cancelation... until now. They go by many names such as Ashkenazi and Sephardic, Bankers and Producers, or what they're known more locally Jews and Pedophiles. When we go inside they will recoil by are existence so we must act fast. Lets go inside... as you can see, they wear little hats to hide their insecurities and worship a cow known as Molach, now lets see what will happen when I jam my thumb!?! He spotted me! oh, he really is pissed off now! you can see the coins fall out of his pocket! he is not even trying to pick them up!"

No idea what the average age on this forum is, and it's not technically a celebrity, but I can remember when Scientology used to be seen by most people as just being one of those weird religions that movie stars get into for some reason. I mean, the information that brought them down was already out there, and the public had some vague idea they were a litigious UFO cult with a few skeletons in their closet, but the general impression was that it was something similar to the Hare Krishnas or Transcendental Meditation. Bizarre and maybe kind of sketchy, but not to the point of deserving any real attention. South Park putting both their ideas and practices on blast at the same time, and on a major television program that millions of people saw, played a major role in turning public perception firmly against them.

I doubt that Chanology would have ever gotten off the ground had it taken place before that episode rather than in 2008, or that it would have gotten into the spotlight if it did, as opposed to languishing in obscurity and being framed as "the hate group known as 4Chan attacking the websites of a controversial, minority religious movement", with most channels focusing on factoids about Tom Cruise. Scientology wasn't exactly thriving before the episode, but it lost all public legitimacy almost overnight.
