The first sketch in which the characters appear occurred during the season premiere of the 13th season. The idea for the characters of Hans and Franz came in 1987 in a Des Moines, Iowa hotel room while Nealon was watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger television interview during Nealon's and Carvey's first comedy tour. In 2014, the duo appeared in several State Farm commercials with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In the sketch, Hans and Franz tell the story of how they were reunited in Hollywood when Franz unsuspectingly has his buttocks "read" by Hans. Aaron Rodgers Has New State Farm Ad With Hans And Franz From ‘SNL’ NFL by Boatshoe Bobby Septem9:44 am YouTube The Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers had a rough time kicking off the 2014 NFL season last night against the Seattle Seahawks. It went on to appear in a later episode that season. While the disastrous box office performances of the SNL spinoff movies Stuart Saves His Family and It's Pat likely hurt the film's prospects for being green-lit, Carvey said they could've rewritten it to be shot with a lower budget and still gotten it produced however, Schwarzenegger's dropping out proved to be an insurmountable obstacle in getting the movie made.Ī short sketch spoofing VH1's Behind the Music specials was filmed for the show's 1999 primetime 25th Anniversary Special, but time constraints prevented it from airing. Schwarzenegger, a fan of the characters, was written into the film and expressed an interest in the script, but ultimately declined to participate following the poor reception of his self-parodying vehicle Last Action Hero. Carvey discussed the script during a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, which was to be called Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma. In a 2010 interview on Conan, Nealon and host Conan O'Brien discussed being holed up in a Santa Monica hotel room for a month or so in the early nineties with Carvey and Robert Smigel, working on a script for a Hans and Franz film, intended to be a musical. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself makes a guest appearance on the sketch (to much applause) and ridicules "his cousins" for being girlie and weak. " Pumping Up" primarily consists of Hans and Franz denigrating others for not being strong and as physically "fit" as they were, and then striking bodybuilder poses to show off their "muscled" bodies, complete with strained facial expressions. The background of the set includes several life-sized cutouts of Schwarzenegger during his competition years and the sketch's introduction music featured mock Austrian " yodeling". In the sketch, Carvey and Nealon play a pair of muscle-bound Austrian jocks who mimicked/spoofed Arnold Schwarzenegger by using padding for fake muscles, drab gray sweatsuits, weight belts, and Austrian accents.
