I, like the rest of humanity, was completely floored when I heard the Crocodile Hunter died. Death by sting ray, no less. Crazy. I think it's kind of neat that he died doing his crazy nature shit, but still sucks.
I'll always remember him for two things:
1) When South Park parodied him (in the ridiculous Aussie accent - "Now what I'm gonna do, is jam my thumb up his butthole. That should really piss 'im off.")
2) There's a SportsCenter commercial with him that you have to see. It's hilarious. Since you probably will never see it, I'll go ahead and ruin it for you: Steve a sportscenter guy are talking, waiting for the elevator. Steve is complaining about how he deserves more attention for the crazy stuff he does (something to the extent of, "when I compete, life is on the line every time. How many baseballers can say that?"). Then the elevator comes and the mascot for the Florida Gators comes out. Immediately Steve says excitedly, "Watch out, mate. Take a look at this beauty," and proceeds to tackly the mascot. Brilliant.
They do have a few SC commercials on itunes that you can watch and download for free. The Spelling Bee one is the best.
