They can skip the Smisek video and just play the safety demo. I just had this happen on an A320 when the pilot advised the crew of a very short taxi.

There are also reports of crews getting in trouble for skipping the Smisek video.

I miss the woman from the pmUA 747-400 IPTE video. She had an unbelievably thick Chicago accent, which I found completely endearing. "Please take out your safety caRRRds and fAllow alAng."

The relentlessly cheerful woman with the pony tail on the 767-300 IPTE was also a gem. "For our customers seated in United Business..." she said as if it was a remarkably special occasion.
