Earlier this month, Arnold Schwarzenegger unsheathed his Conan The Barbarian sword to deliver a surprisingly affecting message about the Capitol riots. Today, presumably after celebrating the the inauguration of Joe Biden, the actor and former governor is again referencing his past hits to help boost confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Put that needle down!” he cracks after receiving the shot, referencing one of his many iconic Kindergarten Cop lines. He gamely chases it with a nod to perhaps his most famous role. “Alright, I just got my vaccine and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone,” he says to the camera before channeling T-800. “Come with me if you want to live.”
We can only hope this prompts our other aging action stars to drop vaccine videos of their own. “Go ahead,” Clint Eastwood can say as he rolls up his sleeve. “Make my day.” Al Pacino can introduce his “little friend” while holding the syringe. And Bruce Willis? A celebratory “yippee-ki-yay” will most assuredly be warranted after the shot. He just better wear a mask.

73 year old man with a heart condition gets Covid vaccine. This really isn’t news
This really isn’t news- The AV Club
It’s this or dinosaur buttholes.
Ha! Did anyone click on that article anyway? If so, why?
Great Job, Internet! has gone down the one rabbit hole I won’t follow.
same here, I too just can’t be arsed …
Why? PERFECT DINOSAUR BUTTHOLES!If only it were bleached…
Two guys did, going “mmmmmmheh” and “ahuhuhuhuh” the entire time.
Wow, I can’t believe you got me to say it but…”I’ll have the dinosaur buttholes, please.
I would also have accepted “I’ll be back… for the second dose”.
I believe that’s pronounced “BOOOOSTAH.”
GET TO THE BOOOSTAH
SEE YOU AT DE PAHTY, BOOSTAH!
“Hasta las vista, COVID!”
LET’S KICK SOME COVID ICE!!!
Who is your health care provider and what to they do?
“Remember when I said I’d kill you last?”
I don’t have a joke on deck for this . . .
THAT is what I expected!!
“Remember when I said I’d get vaccinated last? I lied.” “What killed the dinosaurs? Not COVID, because they got vaccinated!” “GET TO THE CHOPPA! Also, I’d like to formally announce that I will only refer to vaccines as ‘choppas’ from now on so that usage of this quote in this video will retroactively seem very clever.”
First poster to riff on a quote from Junior gets my admiration . . . and scorn.
Well, the only thing I remember about that film is it had Cassandra Wilson in it, singing in some dinner scene (I love Cassandra and have seen her in concert several times over the years).It would have been a little too on the nose for Arnie to sing what she sang in the movie while he was getting vaccinated:“I’ve got youuuuu …under my skiiiin …”
“My bawdy. My choice.”From memory (because I always thought it was notable that a noted Republican would state that in a movie – though he is on record as pro-choice). I will now take that promised admiration and scorn.
Bravo! BOOOO!
Jingle All The WAY, huja!
If we can cause our immune system to create antibodies, we can kill it.
“Come with me if you want to not die.”
Tommy Lee Jones just got his and said, “….had dreams. Two of ‘em. Both had my father in ‘em. It’s peculiar. I’m older now then he ever was by twenty years. So in a sense he’s the younger man. Anyway, first one I don’t remember too well but it was about meeting him in town somewhere, he’s gonna give me some money. I think I lost it. The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin’ through the mountains of a night. Goin’ through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin’. Never said nothin’ goin’ by. He just rode on past… and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin’ fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. ‘Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin’ on ahead and he was fixin’ to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up…”
I had someone try to describe that monologue as both anticlimactic and hyper-realistic. He didn’t care for the movie, obviously, but it was fascinating hearing him unspool so much wrong in a single argument.
If you didn’t copy/paste that, then thank you for being another person who knows that off by heart.
Lin-Manuel Miranda something something not throwing away this shot.
Awwww. Cute!
Would also accept a video of: Sylvester Stallone- “COVID’s a disease and this vaccine’s the cure”.Christopher Lambert- “It’s a kind of magic.”Jean-Claude Van Damme- “I just want to live”Dolph Lundgren on people refusing the vaccine- “If he dies, he dies”
PIPPIN: I didn’t think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?GANDALF: The second vaccine dose! Fool of a Took!
PIPPIN: “It could be a tumor!”
ARNOLD: “IT’S NOT A TOOMAH!!!”
PIPPIN: “Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina. Nobody knows what elves have…”
Jesse Ventura- “I ain’t got time to die!”
USA to Jesse Ventura: “Piss off back to Mexico!”
Leave some for the rest of us!
Wesley Snipes: “Always bet on vacc. ‘Vacc’ is short for ‘vaccine’. I’m telling you to get the vaccine.”
and pay yo’ taxes!
“Come on! Do it now! Kill me!”Arnold, trying to lure Covid viruses to their death in his nasal passages.
I say that line while I disrobe before sex.
