In South Park
The song is also a reference to the 1995 Christmas short "The Spirit of Christmas" which was the first commercially available appearance of the characters that led to the full-fledged South Park (1997) series (the original Christmas short was created in 1992 by Parker and Stone while students at the University of Colorado). In the short, Stan Marsh asks Eric Cartman, "What would Brian Boitano do?" as Jesus battles Santa Claus.
In the song, Boitano skates through circles in the 1988 Olympic Winter Games while blindfolded, fights grizzly bears (in the Alps) with his magical fire breath, saves fair maidens, travels through time to the year 3010, fights an evil robot king, saves the human race (again), and builds the Great Pyramids while beating up Kublai Khan, because he "doesn't take shit from anybody". During the middle of the song, a cartoon Brian Dennehy interrupts, apparently thinking the song is about him.
A pop punk version of the song was performed by Stone and Parker's band D.V.D.A. and featured in the movie's credits, and the video is found on the DVD of the film. In this version, it is further revealed that Boitano also has an apparently limitless appetite for spicy chicken wings, and came from the planet Krylock to "save us all from war, and death, and stuff."
