It's alarming to me to think that the person that posted this video ISN'T aware that Steve Irwin didn't die from poison from a sting ray. In fact, the poison from a sting can't even kill a human. It's just a mild protein-based poison that causes pain and inflammation of infected area. Steve Irwin died as a result of the barb penetrating his chest cavity and puncturing his heart.
In a way, Steve killed himself. He should not have tried to pull out that stingray barb. Shortly after he died, the same thing happened to someone else. They knew not to try to pull out the barb. They got the guy to a hospital and doctors pulled out the barb and saved the guy's life. If you get something stuck in a vital organ; leave it alone. It may be plugging a leak. Let a doctor take it out.
Hahaha ....Years later I just had to find & see that commercial again! Just like Steve, positive till the end; "it's okay becau..." Ha, what a great bloke!
These jokes are NOT NOT NOT funny. Steve died because the ray barb destroyed his heart. It punctured him right into his heart. It killed him within seconds. I sure miss Steve. Rest in peace, Steve-O.
I remember the first time I saw this commercial I loved it. So I don't have a problem with the video but the comment about using Fed Ex for the sting ray should have been removed.
For TitaniumDragon: What do you mean I'm heiling Hitler? Let's see now. I didn't vote for the messiah because I know he's a fucking communist and wants to turn the USA into a third world, undeveloped, communist country like Cuba and North Korea; and that automatically means I'm heiling Hitler? I wouldn't have voted for Obama if he was all white. He's a communist and if you can't see that, then pull your head out from inside your ass; and smell the toast burning.
how come most people think anyone who doesn't like Obama is raceist and wait a sec how come a coment got started about this when its about fedex steve irwin and a snake?
Alphabex* : I bet you voted for the messiah. Kruschev said in the late 50's; "The American people will never accept communism out right; but we will feed you socialism, a little bit at a time until one day, you'll wake up and be a communist country and not even know it.
For mutantsheepofdoom: I've never been on a cruise before. When you are on a cruise ship, do they have sting rays in the swimming pool for people to swim with? Like I said, I've never been on a cruise before. I don't belive Steve Irwin ever tried to turn a whole country into a third world, undeveloped communist country like Cuba and North Korea, with everyone totally dependent on the government for their livelihood.
Can you believe, next month, he'll be dead three years? I can't understand why anyone would idolize something like Barack Obama. Steve Irwin did so much to make this world a better place to live. I'm 57 years old; and when I grow up, I want to be just like Steve Irwin. My first name is Steve, so I guess, I'm already halfway there.
yea i think it's more he jynx himself in a terrible way this commerical was made way before we died so it i remember dis commercial being banned i read in a magazine never seen it since so it was kind of wried you know.
It also isn't ironic because its Steve Irwin. Seriously, everyone expected him to die from messing around with a dangerous animal (except his wife, who figured he'd die due to a car accident, which WOULD be ironic).
Death by stingray was only somewhat ironic; he did get killed by an animal, at least, but stingrays aren't actually very dangerous. Unless, of course, you mess with them.
@TitaniumDragon The irony was that he actually wasn't messing with it. He was showing off a completely different animal. The sting ray was literally a freak accident. And it wasn't the venom that killed him. It was the fact that he reacted by pulling the barb out of his own heart. He bled out. They might...MIGHT have been able to save him had he left the spike alone.
I agree, that's the kinda joke that really "stings" one's mind. We need less of those jokes and more happy ones that provide "rays" of sunshine in your heart.
If you ever watched his shows, it was just a matter of chance, the more dangerous things he did the more likely he was to stop having close calls and just actually get killed.
I think the spirit in which you posted this video is a bit tasteless, but the commercial still makes me laugh. I love that he didn't take himself too seriously.
he may have passed on but his memory will live forever and he has changed an entire generation world wide and made them have the love for animals and our environment that we should
It may be sad to some. Others may not be suprised to see the commercial as a way of making fun of him, under the impression that there were a few who didn't understand him, so his actions may seem wreckless and crazy, (tackling crocs, catching venomous snakes). To me, it was to show a bit of everything in him, his courage, his passion, his knowledge, and just the fact that he is willing to pay a bit of a price for it; getting bitten up a little. Miss ya Steve! CRIKEY!!!!!!!!
Um, yes he did. Sure, he didn't PRODUCE the commercial, but he most certainly was aware of, and consented to, him appearing in it. You can't make a movie or a tv series or most commercials without using actors, so therefore they make it just as much as the directors and producers and writers do. Steve thought it was a funny commercial -- if he didn't, he wouldn't have made it. Stop acting like you know him, calm down, and go find a happier video for yourself.
I still think this is an hilarious video and it wouldn't be right to not still laugh at it. He was a really entertaining guy who obviously loved what he did. He wanted us to laugh at this joke and I'm sure it's ok to still laugh at it. Why? Cause it's still a joke.
i know i'm most likely going to get some sort of feedback (bad or good) but i don't care. irwin was an awesome dude. funny, smart, energetic. when i saw this commercial for the first time back in the 90's, i was rolling on the floor, and you know what? i still do every time i see it!! i'm deeply saddened by his death, and i give all my love to his family, but he participated in this ad to make people laugh, and have fun, and i intend to honor that. to me, it would disrespectful NOT to laugh.
I really Like Steve Irwin's Commercial's. That's keep Steve Irwin's Spirit Alive! Crocs Rule! I am Really Sad Watching This Video, Because The World Miss Our Wildlife Warrior. Steve Irwin Was Our Hero, Now Our Spririt.
Keep Steve Irwin Alive, I Will Always Miss Him! Thank You So Much For This Video! :-)
I am not one of those liberal types that would say take it down. Its still funny, but its just not quite the same anymore -- since he actually died much like he did here -- but it was with a Stingray instead of a Fear Snake.
I agree with you. I would however say not to show it anymore out of respect to his family. If it's alright with them, then it's alright with me. I do like this commerical but since he died for real, it just isn't as funny as it was.
ok. i agree with everyone. it wasn't sadistic and horrible to post this after he died. grow up. this is a kickass commercial. it was a little mean that you poked fun at his death though, not too horrible but it wasn't cool, especially because he didn't die of poison. it stabbed him in the heart, plus he wasn't thinking straight, he took medication or something. bottom line is, you should keep the clip, but ditch the description. come on everyone lighten up. quit bitchin, start a revolution.
C'mon folks, Steve set out in his life to teach, amuse, and entertain and he has done all of these things. This just shows a man who would and did die doing what he loved and believed in.
Ummmm...I adore Steven Irwin...He made this commercial, as he was always poking fun at himself. This is so NOT insulting to his memory. Please stop making rude comments to the poster because Steve would've wanted us to remember him as he was--living on the edge, lauging even through pain, and loving all animals. He had a sense of humor. Please honor his memory by having one, too.
thanks for posting this. I've been looking for it forever. It's hard not to laugh, seeing how he died and all, but I'm sure that's what he would have wanted. He agreed to make this afterall.
You noobs! If yall knew anything about popculture you would know that fedex made this along time ago! Pluss on top of that Steve was making fun of himself! This is all for giggles. Get over it!
Ah learn to take a joke, none of you really knew the guy, his life on telivision is but a superficial excuse, as is shaking his hand. Those who knew him in the outback community are the only ones privileged with responding harshly, and even they need to get a sense of humour.
Miss you Steve
