I've actually only encountered the stereotype of that particular hat being propagated once. And that was many years ago in a web-cartoon that was posted on livejournal. It depicted a cat wearing a cork hat and saying "Crikey" if I remember correctly, you know, laying it on thick. Apart from that I can't say I ever consciously encountered the stereotype. Though I might have subconsciously (IB4 someone posts a screenshot that shows it was actually in The Simpsons or something). But I'm sure there are plenty of pieces of media that repeat it ad nauseam. Just like the hills are always alive with the sound of music when Austria is being portrayed in pieces of entertainment media.
