State Farm just debuted its highly anticipated new Super Bowl commercial reuniting Arnold Schwarzenegger with his Twins and Junior co-star Danny DeVito.
At the top of the hilarious ad, a man runs out of a burning house with two puppies in hand, seconds before a fiery explosion takes place.
Once the smoke and fire clears, it becomes clear that it is the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is the hero, as he hands over the mother of two dogs.
“Thank you, Officer State Farm,” the women say to the former California governor, who is dressed in the insurance company’s signature red shirt and tan khaki pants.
“Like there’s a good neighbor State Farm,” he shoots back, in a classic mispronunciation of the word neighbor, which the director tries to correct after one take in the middle of a movie-like set.
Twins and Junior stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76, and Danny DeVito, 79, reunited for a hilarious new State Farm commercial that hammered on the Terminator’s inability to pronounce “neighbor” while delivering the insurance company’s trademark line
‘Hey Arnold, I hear neighba. It’s neighbor,” he tells the actor, who responds by saying, “That’s what I said, neighba.”
The two go back and forth on how to pronounce the global neighbor.
Frustrated because he can’t pronounce the word properly, the director announces, “Let’s go again.”
The shoot continues with Schwarzenegger piloting a stationary helicopter in a CGI sequence in which he once again drops the company’s trademark line: “Like there’s a good neighbor State Farm.”
And once again the two have the same problem, forcing the director to shout ‘cut’.
“What now,” the old Hollywood leading man shouts at the director.
“It’s the neighbor,” he tells the Twins actor, who shouts, “Neighbaaa.”
Enter actor Kevin Miles, best known as Jake From State Farm, who then tries to teach Schwarzenegger how to properly say “neighbor.”

“Yes, neighbaaa, just like it says on the papaaa,” he says to Jake, holding the script for the production
For the next scene, we see the actor running out of another burning building with a pregnant woman in his arms: “This lady is in labaaa,” he declares, in another snafu of the word
And again the director tries to school Schwarzenegger with the word ‘labor’
“Yes, neighbaaa, just like it says on the papaaa,” he says to Jake, holding the script for the production.
For the next scene, we see the actor running out of another burning building with a pregnant woman in his arms: “This lady is in labaaa,” he declares, in another negative statement.
He also tries to say Sate Farm’s signature line when he lands among the sheep while skydiving: “Like a good neighbaaa.” said the Austrian-born star, before blaming the animals. “Those were the sheep and you know it.”
It’s at this point that the director and Jake from State Farm go back and forth about the difference between “neighbor” and “neighbaaa.”
Arnold also tries to say Sate Farm’s signature line when he lands among the sheep while skydiving: “Like a good neighbaaa.” said the Austrian-born star
“That was the sheep and you know it,” Arnold declares, defending “neighbaaa.”
Jake and the director talk back and forth with Arnold about the ruling
“Neighbaaa,” he shouts at the top of his lungs in a fiery scene
Frustrated, the director tells Schwarzenegger that there has been a script change
Ultimately, a new clip is shown on the big screen during the world premiere of ‘Agent State Farm’, only Danny DeVito has now joined the cast
The two actors try to deliver the signature line together, only for Arnold to pause to hear his Twins co-star nail a perfect take
“Like there’s a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” the Twins and Junior alum, 79, said with perfect diction, earning a frustrated nod from his co-star
In the final scene, the two stars are seen sitting together in the theater seats when Schwarzenegger turns to him and says, “You are a backstabbaaa,” to which DeVito corrects him one last time, “I am a backstabber.”
