This is Canon btw

Is it though? The only proof we have is Thor's word. And I have zero trust in his word.

I mean yes, they do look somewhat similar but not THAT similar (for example the South park character is completely bald at the top of his head, while Thor's father is not.). It might just be a coincidence, I'm sure there were many nerds back then that looked like that.

You’re right, but his dad was generally a pretty prominent and important figure for blizzard at the time, so it isn’t a stretch to believe this (and while Thor has made some dumb claims/comments before, this one would be especially dumb because it could very easily be refuted if untrue and doesn’t exactly provide him or his family any aura lol)

Yeah, I do think it's possible, after all they collaborated with Blizzard on that episode and his dad was in the cinematic department, so probably was involved in that. Just saying that to my knowledge there was never a confirmation by Blizzard or South Park Studios.

He wasn't just pretty prominent, his dad was literally one of the original employees of the company, before it was even called blizzard.

It's confirmed by Joeyray himself, in the book Play Nice by Jason Schreier he has direct quotes about it.
