Hans and Franz first appeared in 1987 on the popular late-night comedy show, Saturday Night Live. The two “bodybuilders” ended their letter of advice reminding MV students to “pump–ker-SLAP! - you up! The two men responded with an outrage calling the MV student a ‘girly man’ who was just jealous of their fast cars, expensive women, and big muscles. The SNL stars responded in their usual arrogant manner saying that male dancers were just ‘girly men’ and stressed how they were much more muscular than they were.Īnother MV student wrote to Hans and Franz doubting that their muscles were real and saying that they were just balloons and padding underneath their shirts. Ya.”Ī male member of the Monte Vista dance class wrote to Hans and Franz upset about the bad rap they give male dancers. You should be happy with one of those little wimpy, flabby, girlie women with the faked pumped up muscles instead. Hans and Franz said, “ Listen to me now and hear me later, mister Blackhawk man: no way you could get a girl with so many muscles in the buttocks region. A Blackhawk teenager asked how Hans and Franz ‘score’ with strong, buffed-up beauties and how he could do the same. Hans and Franz were happy to help give advice to poor, dumb, high school students. In this issue of El Mestengo, international bodybuilding champions of Saturday Night Live, Hans and Franz wrote a personal advice column to MV students. Dieter, however, was never made.***Article taken from a 1990 El Mestengo, the predecessor to the Stampede*** The film’s producers, Universal Studios and Imagine Entertainment, sued Myers for breach of contract, a matter that was resolved with Myers agreeing to star in 2003’s The Cat in the Hat.
But just as production began, Myers cancelled the film because he didn’t like the script (the one he co-wrote). The script was written by Meyers and “Deep Thoughts” scribe Jack Handey, and followed Dieter as he traveled across the U.S.

The surprise success of SNL alum Mike Myers’ Austin Powers in 1997 allowed him to make a movie based on a very weird character he’d developed on TV: Dieter, the artsy, all-black-wearing German who hosted a talk show called Sprockets (along with his pet monkey, Klaus). NBC forced SNL to focus on the show, and cut out the movies. It was set to be made in 1995, until SNL was nearly cancelled after the show’s ratings sank and other SNL movies tanked in theaters. In it, a businessman (to be played by Martin Short) buys the Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field and turns it into a luxury stadium for the rich, shutting out the team’s working-class fans, like the Superfans. SNL writer Robert Smigel played one of the group (along with Chris Farley, Mike Myers, and guest host George Wendt) and wrote a bizarre screenplay based on the sketch. The “Superfans” are perhaps better known as “Da Bears guys,” a bunch of beer-swilling Chicago sports fans with Chicago accents. The movie fell apart when Last Action Hero, a similarly fourth-wall-busting movie starring Schwarzenegger as himself, bombed at the box office. Oh, and Schwarzenegger was supposed to co-star as himself. One of the show’s most popular recurring bits in the late 1980s was “Hans and Franz,” the Eastern European bodybuilders portrayed by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon who wanted to “pump you up.” In 1993, production was underway for a movie about Hans and Franz traveling to Hollywood to be movie stars like their idol, bodybuilder turned movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger. For every Wayne’s World, there was another movie based on a Saturday Night Live sketch that never got made at all.
