Synopsis

D.V.D.A.'s video turns the punk-rock reprise into a mock concert spectacle. The band performs before an enthusiastic crowd while footage of Brian Boitano's skating, clips from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, and moments from The Spirit of Christmas flash across the screen. The contrast between Boitano's polished athleticism and D.V.D.A.'s deliberately chaotic stage energy reinforces the song's joke: an Olympic champion is presented as an all-purpose action hero capable of solving any crisis.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video promotes "What Would Brian Boitano Do? Pt. II", D.V.D.A.'s faster, harder version of the song heard over the closing credits of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
  • It incorporates material from The Spirit of Christmas, the 1995 animated short that preceded South Park. That connection makes the video a brief visual history of Brian Boitano's transformation from an offhand joke into a recurring South Park reference.
  • Actual footage of Boitano skating is used, giving the parody an amusingly authentic centerpiece. His real athletic achievements are edited against the song's increasingly absurd claims about fighting bears, defeating robots, and building pyramids.
  • The video was produced for MTV and was later included among the extras on Blu-ray editions of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
  • Performance footage used in the clip was reportedly filmed at the 2000 Lapdance party in Park City, Utah, during the Sundance Film Festival.
  • The song's central question parodies the evangelical slogan "What Would Jesus Do?" By replacing Jesus with an Olympic figure skater, Parker and Stone turn a familiar moral prompt into a deliberately ridiculous measure of heroism.

do.
Brian! Skate! Brian! Fight!
When Brian Boitano was in the Olympics skating for the gold, he did two solchows and a triple lutz while wearing a
blindfold. When Brian Boitano was in the Alps fighting grizzly bears, he used his magical fire-breath and saved the maidens,
fair.
Brian! S-s-skate! Brian! Live!
So what would Brian Boitano'd do if he was here today? I'm sure he'd kick an arse or two. That's what Brian Boitano'd do.
Brian! Skate! Brian! Live!
When Brian Boitano traveled through time to the year 3010, he fought the evil robot king and saved us all agian. When Brian
