  1. cj says:

    Arnold knows 3 words in Spanish?

  2. John says:

    Since when has there been an Austrian language?

    • Kelly says:

      it´s better than calling it pretty german

    • boaks says:

      Yeah, I’m about to submit it to FailBlog as a language fail…

    • Leak says:

      I was jo net wia’s dia damit geht, oba gaunz Hochdeitsch is des ned.

      Gah – there’s a reason we do write regular German here…

      np: Cranium Pie – Drying In The Sun (A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Vol. 1 (Disc 2))

    • Mogan says:

      Heh, my bad guys. I didn’t really know if they were the same language, and I relied on the intelligence of an English friend of mine for the information. Sorry if I offended anyone.

    • Starbuck says:

      For quite some time. Ask any Austrian – they’ll tell you they don’t speak German. Did you know the Dutch have their own language, too? And Portuguese, Spanish and Italian are not the same language. Danish is more than a pastry and those pesky Norwegians, Swedes and Finnish all have the audacity to have different languages as well. What will do with those wacky Europeans and their languages?

      • megan says:

        umm… I actually live in Austria. their national language is German. They speak German, and would classify themselves as German speakers. Austrian is not an actual language. Granted, the dialects can be pretty extreme, but the can speak High German (although, high German as it is taught in most schools and universities is not actually spoken anywhere, just like we do not use proper English). Of course the Finns, Danish and Norwegians have their own languages- no one was contesting that- i am not sure it is even relevant.

        furthermore, Arnold is actually from a town very near to where i live, and its pretty common knowledge nowadays that he can barely speak German anymore, and the accent? yeah, hes faking it…

    • Quacker-Oatmeal says:

      There’s no “Austrian” language. Austrians speak German. German is also spoken in Germany, Czechoslovakia (along with Czech), and Switzerland (along with French).

      • Ross says:

        This shows the general stupidity of Americans. As a European, I’ll clarify it for everyone. First, Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed for 15 years, it’s now Czech Republic (who speak Czech) and Slovakia (who speak Slovakian). Second of all, to “Starbuck”, don’t be a cretin, of course Austrians would say they speak German, because they speak German. Third of all, Swiss also speak Italian.

        • Multatuli says:

          And not those three alone, there is a 4th language in Switzerland. Romansh (Rätoromanisch). Spoken by like 2% of the people.

  3. Kelly says:

    3 words in spanish that spanish people don´t say anymore… he robbed them!

  4. Cecona says:

    I don’t think ‘Baby’ is Spanish.

  5. native californian says:

    Just be thankful if he isn’t your governor. Hard to know what to do since my beloved state is going down in flames. I know I didn’t vote for him.

    • Pheemz says:

      Well, on the plus side, you’ve got octuplets to pay for now. :P

    • Jiddi says:

      You didn’t vote for Gov. Schwarzenegger? Then did you vote for Gary Coleman or the porn star?

    • eterrilsmith says:

      What a great pun. “down in flames”

      • Doohickie says:

        It’s not a pun based on “up in flames”; it’s a description related back to aircraft when they crash. Watch any old WWII documentary.

    • cj says:

      Don’t get me started on that woman. I can’t imagine a Doctor performing Invetro on the same woman 6 times. This woman is nuts. Why would you get pregnant if you already have 6 children you can’t feed, cloth or provide housing for? What an idiot. I will say it one more time. You have to have a license to have a dog but any idiot can have children.

    • Ansha Wednesday says:

      He’s actually a decent governor. better than Davis thats for sure. and, contrary to popular belief, his english is actually decent. I was at a conference where he was the Key-Note, and his speeches are wonderful. Even not considering he is not a native speaker, his english is very good.
      as for CA going down in flames… clever, but has nothing to do with Schwarzenegger. Aside from his decision to take money from education, he’s done well. And honestly, if he were president, i’d be perfectly ok.
      I think people just like to think he’s an idiot because when he first came here and started doing movies, he had really poor english. but i highly doubt anyone would say that about Jackie Chan, who also had poor english when he came to america and started doing movies.
      Or maybe people are just making fun of him because he’s an actor. Well lets look at someone who was NOT an actor: Bush. and look how well he did. so it’s safe to say that being an actor or not being an actor is not a qualifier for being a decent leader. If Bush had taken some speech lessons, i bet we wouldnt have made nearly as much fun of him, because really, your delivery is half the battle! listen to Hitlers old speeches: he was evil but the way he delivers his speeches makes you almost want to join. almost.

  6. brownsenile says:

    So now I’m fluent in two languages…. German AND Austrian

  7. jzimbert says:

    Nice try, but more than half of Arnold’s major movies came out before Terminator 2.

  8. Mike says:

    I think its actually Italian

    • tired says:

      And everyone KNOWS you’re a moron!

      • eterrilsmith says:

        It is certainly good that “tired” is fluent in the Moronish language. Tired, it seems a bit boorish of you to assume that we all have the same advantages of culture and refinement that you do. It is Friday and tomorrow is Valentine’s day. It’s OK if Mike believes the three little words are Italian. He will never harm anyone or even himself believing that the Terminator knows 3 words of Italian. Ciao……….baby.

      • Mike says:

        SHUT UP!

        I can’t control my stupidity

  9. jl5691426 says:

    Fail. His career is defined by a different three-word phrase that precedes “Hasta la vista’ by seven years – “I’ll be back.”

  10. Tray Dawg says:

    /me wonders how to say “IT’S NOT A TOOMAH” in español

  11. Kenlin says:

    Really? He didn’t have a career before T2?

  12. badcat says:

    I am Hercules. Is it not enough that I have ridden in your chariot?

  13. eri says:

    i love you guys.

  14. OSTERICH says:

    http://graphjam.com/ FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED FAILED

    AUSTRIANS SPEAK GERMAN STUPID ADMIN OF THIS STUPID SITE BECAUSE AUSTRIAN LANGUAGE DOES NOT EXIST.
    IS REALLY A SHAME FOR YOU EVEN FOR EUROPE A LITTLE BECAUSE I GUESS YOU ARE WHITE AMERICAN AS ALL WHITE AMERICANS ARE EUROPEANS.

    THE ADMIN OF THIS SITE REALLY FAILED THAT SAID:AUSTRIAN LANGUAGE.

    AMERICANS PLEASE LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE WORLD YOU ARE BEING MORE AND MORE STUPID.

    • Grumpy Curmudgeon says:

      Jesus Christ on a unicycle! Who the fck let the 6 year old onto the net? Can’t parents control their spawn anymore?

      • il crimine non paga says:

        And mind you, he can’t even spell “Österreich” right.

        • OU812 says:

          Maybe he was trying for ‘ostrich’.

          Also, it’s a stretch to say that Austrians speak German. They speak *a* version of German. In which they swallow a lot of vowels and add grunts, beer and Wiener Schnitzel.

          And yes, the plural *is* ‘Schnitzel’. Even in Austria.

          ::singing:: “Wien, nur du allein…”

  15. austrian girl says:

    DUDE WE SPEAK GERMAN BECAUSE AUSTRIAN LANGUAGE DOES NOT EXIST.
    THE POSTER OF THIS GRAPH JUST FAILED.

  16. austrian girl says:

    WHY ARE AMERICAN SO STUPID THAT DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NOTHING AND ESPECIALLY ABOUT GEOGRAPHY.
    IN THIS CATEGORY UNFORTUNATELY ARE EVEN WHITE AMERICANS WHICH ORIGINALLY ARE EUROPEANS BUT AS I SAID THEY JUST GOT STUPID WHEN THEY WENT TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNTRY USA WHICH IS GOING DOWN EVERYDAY.
    One black american said to me that austria is some country in usa. I said to her: No sweety is next to Japan .LOL

    WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID. PLEASE WHITE AMERICANS WE INVITE ONLY YOU AS YOU ARE ORIGINALLY EUROPEANS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE YOU WISER BECAUSE THERE IN THAT USA YOU WILL GET MORE AND MORE STUPID.
    so sadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.

  17. that guy says:

    No, two words in spanish, baby is english bud

  18. that guy says:

    and what?

  19. julie says:

    No one saw his name was misspelled in the title?

  20. geeraija says:

    I mean, no problem not knowing that they speak german in austria, but when you try to make fun of someone’s intellect, you’ve gotta do at least better than him, don’t you think?
    Have you never heard of wikipedia? If you’d really been insecure what kind of language they speak you should have just checked the number one resource for all smart-asses on the internet.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria

  21. dahumanz says:

    It’s German not Austrian, there is no Austrian language, in Austria they speak german!

    This should get to the Fail blog!

    Its like somebody say there is a Scottish or Australian language…

    oh boy im embarrassed…

    • vina says:

      i admit you have a good point,but there is a scottish language…other than scots english..

      scottish gaelic is essentially like the irish language(aka gaeilge..YES WE HAVE ONE TOO!!!)but with a few differences in spelling and pronounciation.kinda obvious seein as we’re all celts(apart from the picts,romans,saxons,danes,norse,normans…)

  22. superschmoe says:

    So I’m apparently trilingual. German and Austrian. I didn’t even try for Austrian, I must be a natural.

  23. lol says:

    HEY Stupid Americans so I speak German, Austrian and Viennese lol as I was born and live in Vienna. Ah I forgot I speak the german-austrian-viennese-language of my city quarter and my family which live there has its Own dialect.
    And remember stupid Americans that Austria is a very poor country and we are black and we live next to Japan. LOOOOOOOOOOOL
    USA failed long time ago.

    dumm Amerikaner.
    HAHA

  24. Guess Again says:

    How about his three words in English? “Elect me AGAIN!”

  25. Jess says:

    Haha, I was confused at first because I was thinking “I’ll be back.” I was trying so hard to see how that was Spanish, then I remembered the other three famous words. ._.;

  26. Arc says:

    So why do all these crazy Europeans assume the submitter of this poorly informed graph is American? They’re probably Canadian!

  27. wurnz says:

    just for info: they speak german in austria, as well as arnie does

  28. g99 says:

  29. herr sexyhosen says:

  34. ccc says:

  35. Paz Lose says:

  36. Cecilia says:

  37. Ethan says:

    I think by now the guy knows that Austrian isn’t a real language and they speak German..so it doesn’t need any more saying :P

  38. Sara says:
