Arnie the butt of the Realestate.com.au joke? He’s got form……
Property website Realestate.com.au feared that Arnold Schwarzenegger would turn down the offer to star in its TV adverts because he was the butt of the campaign’s joke. It really needn’t have worried.
Dr Mumbo scoured the web to unearth some of Arnie’s previous dalliances with the commercial world, with Japanese brands in particular keen to secure his services. And ensuring he was portrayed in a serious light was clearly not on his list of demands.
The first sees our superhero knock back three ‘Go West’ Japanese coffees before getting all serious with a moody turn to the camera. When the sunnies come off, Arnie means business.
Here, Arnie plays a host of characters as he promotes Direct TV – before uttering a variation of his most famous phrase as he is sealed in a cargo crate
In this series of adverts, the secret of Arnie’s extraordinary strength is revealed – he consumes pot noodles by the bucketload. Dr Mumbo was particularly taken with the third advert, one minute into this showreel, which shows our superhero posing dramatically with a mammoth power drill in front of exploding cliffs before devouring,well, you know the rest.
Clearly not content with his chosen brand of coffee, the Governator has sided with Kowa coffee in this commercial where he’s armed with another drill.
Possibly the winner of the batshit crazy bonkers award in this Olympic-level gallery of crazy are these two for a Japanese energy drink, the second of which sees Arnie explode from a women’s head genie fashion. Probably best to watch it for further explanation.
And finally, Arnie again swallows his pride by promoting Bud Light during the Superbowl this year, dressed as a 1970s table tennis player and limbering up for a game.

And then you can see the climax of that in the full ad:

Poor Arnold is the butt of a lot of jokes. And what a nice butt it is…lol! 🙂

How dare you be such a sexist misandrist and objectify Arnie in such a way. The guy has achieved real things many women haven’t, including being governor of California while juggling a successful home-life and acting career, yet you reduce his achievements down to his butt.
Shame on you Karen. Shame.
