'Saturday Night Live' #TBT: Hans & Franz Get Pumped Up With Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Governator is back in theaters next week, as Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as a soulless killing machine sent from the future in Terminator Genisys. So for this week’s Saturday Night Live throwback, we’re hitting the gym for the ultimate Hans & Franz installment, when they met their idol Ah-nuld.

In this 1991 sketch, lunkheaded bodybuilders Hans (Dana Carvey) and Franz (Kevin Nealon) tell their viewers they spent the summer watching “the year’s most important cultural event”: Terminator 2. They also brag about their “cousin” Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was put in charge of “the President’s Council on Physical Pumpitude” in an effort to rid our great nation of “girlie men” once and for all.

The rest of the sketch features Hans and Franz interrupting Arnold’s fitness speech to a room of schoolchildren and encouraging the kids to flex their pecs, oil up their bodies, and shave off all their body hair. Arnold gets fed up with his cousins, though, threatening that he’ll “twist your flab into the shape of a pacifier, and I’m gonna have you suck on it until you poop in your diapers.” Well… that shuts them up pretty quick.

Hans & Franz started out as an Ah-nuld parody, but Schwarzenegger embraced it, even referring to California legislators as “girlie men” during his term as governor. And the characters still live on: Just last year, Carvey and Nealon played Hans and Franz in a series of State Farm commercials alongside Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A planned Hans & Franz movie never got off the ground, though… which is for the best, don’t ya think?

Saturday Night Live returns for Season 41 this fall.
