I think a lot of it has to do with Dave Barry's articles about Florida being weird, then it turned into a recurring joke.
I recently had it explained to me that in FL there is an obsession in the media to over report on the weirdest things that happen in the state. Makes sense with the reputation it has gotten and all the strange stories that seem to come out of there.
That makes quite a bit of sense. A lot of hilarious news stories do come from there, that's probably why.
And they all start with "Florida man" so it's funny to imagine it's some kind of weird hero named Florida Man.
