"The Crocodile Hunter" series shown in 130 countries has charmed millions with Irwin's cries of "Crikey!" as various snakes, crocodiles, spiders, lizards and sharks have tried to snatch bites of him.

I loved the fedex commercial he did. It is great when a personality can laugh at themselves in public.
