It’s not easy to admit how many times I laughed while watching the trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming Netflix comedy FUBAR. But I laughed a lot, starting when I received the email with the subject line that read “Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in Netflix’s FUBAR”—FUBAR, in all capital letters, like it’s screaming at you in Schwarzenegger’s accent from your inbox—and, honestly, didn’t stop throughout the entire teaser.
FUBAR is Schwarzenegger’s first TV series, and a major return to the action comedy genre that helped make him a star. True Lies? A classic. And if you’re a millennial who doesn’t stop in your tracks to watch the entirety of Jingle All the Way or Kindergarten Cop any time you encounter it playing on a television, then you are either a bold-faced liar or belong to another species.
Still, FUBAR—still lol’ing, thinking about Arnold yelling the acronym—likely marks the first time the former governor of one of the largest states in our country is seen fumbling with his daughter’s lipstick-shaped vibrator, for the sake of a streaming audience’s chuckles. That’s history.
