Website owners have used the goatse.cx image to discourage other sites from hotlinking to them. Images on the site, such as hello.jpg, have inspired parodies, mirrors, and tributes. Goatse is also a well-~~know~~ internet meme. In November 2000, A link to ''giver.html'' was added to "Stories of Oprah: The Oprahfication of American Culture" book, one of Oprah Winfrey's online message boards, but was shut down after. In that year, an unknown hacker hacked Yankees.com to display the Goatse image after the Yankees won the World Series in 2000.

In [[wikipedia:Doom 3|''Doom 3'']]'s expansion pack ''[[wikipedia:Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil|Resurrection of Evil]]'', there's an arcade game called "Hellanoid" (a parody of arcade video game ''[[wikipedia:Breakout (video game)|Breakout]]'') in Erebus Labs, after beating 1-2 levels in which the player will be greeted by an similar image of Goatse displayed in level 3.

In April 2011, it was reported that an Audi billboard displayed an image similar to the Goatse image. Pranksters put Goatse on a digital billboard in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2015. Pranksters signed the PGP keys of Facebook and Adrian Lamo with ASCII art of Goatse. One article asks, "''unintentionally hilarious or intentionally evil?''".
