Arnold Schwarzenegger really wants to 'Get to the choppa!' with Jimmy Fallon

 

Credit where credit is due: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the body builder turned action hero turned politician turned actor again, is now taking full advantage of his status as a living Internet meme.

The Governator appeared on “The Tonight Show” this week to promote his upcoming film “Sabotage,” and took part in a ridiculous Home Shopping Channel-themed sketch with host Jimmy Fallon. Fallon took on the role of QVC host Zack Stryker, while Schwarzenegger played an overly enthusiastic pitchman version of himself. The pair demonstrates the features of two faux kitchen appliances - a blender and a vegetable chopper - but when Fallon’s character takes too long to describe the blender, Schwarzenegger begins yelling that it's time to "Get to the choppa!"

That quote, of course, is a reference to Arnold's famous catchphrase from the 1987 action film "Predator," a line that has since become a meme unto itself. Naturally, the former California governor and "Terminator" star closed out the silly sketch by telling viewers "I'll be back" before the commercial break.

Watch the full sketch below:

This isn't the first time that Arnold has had fun with his lengthy catalogue of famous one-liners. To promote "Escape Plan" while shooting his upcoming film "Maggie" in Louisiana last year, Schwarzenegger took to social news site Reddit and offered to record and upload readings of some of his most well known movie lines for users. The short videos attracted millions of views and became something of a viral sensation. The 66-year-old actor may not be the box office draw he once was, but he's certainly got this internet thing figured out!

"Sabotage" hits theatres on March 28.
