In a recent video where Arnold Schwarzenegger was attempting to illustrate the congress’s likeability as being less than that of cockroaches, herpes and, you guessed it — Nickelback, he poked fun at the Canadian band in a tweet to meant to point out the harmful impact of gerrymandering.
But the Nickelback, a.k.a. the world’s personal doormat, didn’t take the jab without retort…
Fortunately for Nickelback, they had an ace in the hole with Arnold’s greatest shitshow of a movie Batman & Robin, where he played the pun-spewing, silver-skinned, villain Mr. Freeze. It is arguably the worst film ever to come out of the Batman universe, and Arnie’s performance was funny for all the wrong reasons.

At this point, realizing he’d perhaps overstepped his bounds a little with his ridicule of the band, he backpedaled from his statement.
In the end, all was right with the world. Nickelback had their happy moment in the sun, and Arnold graciously accepted his verbal trashing and continued to be the legendary man we’ve all come to love.
And in case you were ever thinking about watching this film/abomination, let me do you a solid and tell you that mowing over your own foot would be a better use of your time.
True story.
