You people saying that turning off the water valve won't work are wrong.
I guess you're right in that it wouldn't have helped in this situation, though. It was already full, and THEN he flushed it again.... so yeah, shutting off the valve wouldn't have stopped it from overflowing. It would have helped though, because it would have stopped the toilet from trying to refill the bowl after the flush(even though its already full, dumping even more water)
If there is no more water flowing into the tank, there isn't going to be any water to gravity flow into the toilet bowl.
However, now that i think about it more, I bet it has a lot to do with how your toilet is designed and its "default" water level.
Our toilet is horrible, but I've never had a problem with it overflowing because I employ the valve method. It has a very low default water level though, so maybe that's why it works? Dunno. Also, the tank fills quite slowly after a flush.

A snake isn't just a long piece of wire, it's a wrapped wire-type thing. It's kind of hard to explain. But you can't just use a coat hangar instead.
because of the way it's coiled it is called a snake cause it can bend with the pipes, they are a neat invention for sure. Hanger won't make it past the.. umm I forgot the name but it's like how a "P Trap" works on a sink. plumbing is kind of strange it's not just a bunch of stright pipe's 😉

snake >>>>>>>>>>>> plunger
snake barely displaces any water and it will do the jobs that most plungers will not
i just used the snake tonight as a matter of fact and it prevented disaster 🙂
water was at the brim well about 3 inches from overflowing,i snaked it flush and everything went away
snakes only run about 20 bux as well you might as well throw out the plunger

Actually, a nice cold toilet seat is one of the few things that'll get me fully awake in the morning. 😀
