What Would Brian Boitano Do?

"What Would Brian Boitano Do?" is a song from the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut written by DVDA (Trey Parker and Matt Stone's band) in which figure skater Brian Boitano is treated as a role model for all situations which become increasingly ludicrous in the lyrics, in parody of the saying "What Would Jesus Do?". The title phrase, "What would Brian Boitano do?" was introduced in the animated short The Spirit of Christmas, which gave birth to the South Park television series.

During the middle of the song, Brian Dennehy interrupts.

In the song, Boitano fights grizzly bears, uses his magical fire breath, travels through time to the year 3010, fights an evil robot king, saves the human race (again), and builds the Egyptian pyramids while beating up Kublai Khan.

In April 2003, Boitano answered the question in an interview.

[edit] Trivia

The song is a reference to the original Christmas episode "The Spirit of Christmas" which was the first appearance of the characters that led to the full-fledged "South Park" (1997) series. In the short, Stan asks Cartman, "What would Brian Boitano do?" as Jesus battles Santa Claus [1].

A slightly modified version of the song was performed by Matt and Trey's band DVDA and featured in the official movie soundtrack. A common misconception is that this version of the song is a cover by the band GWAR.
