Rather than hand out high sugar candy, Hans and Franz gave 'treats' of Vitamin C pills, coconut oil, and bee pollen to encourage kids to stay in shape. The two compared how their Terminators were tougher, then derided other 'girlie' costumes, even a boy who was Superman. Hans and Franz both dressed up as their idol, Arnold Schwarzengger, specifically Franz as the T-800 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Hans as the titular character from the first film. One sketch that did not have the pair in their signature sweatsuits and leather belts was a Halloween episode. Another sketch was done in response to recent sports news, where a ' Saturday Night Live editorial' showed Hans and Franz barking back at a recent remark by Jimmy the Greek that African men were more apt to be muscular than European men. Schwarzenegger made one guest appearance in the sketch (to much applause) in which he ridicules 'his cousins' for being 'girlie' and weak. 'Pumping Up' primarily consists of Hans and Franz denigrating others for not being strong and as physically fit as they appear to be, striking bodybuilder poses to show off their 'muscled' bodies, complete with strained facial expressions. The sketch's introductory and ending music featured mock Austrian yodeling. The background of the set includes several life-sized cutouts of Schwarzenegger during his competition years. In the sketch, Carvey and Nealon play a pair of muscle-bound Austrian bodybuilders in the mold of Arnold Schwarzenegger, using padding for fake muscles, drab gray sweatsuits, weight belts, and speaking with Austrian accents.

Hans and Franz are characters in a recurring sketch called ' Pumping Up with Hans & Franz' on the television sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, played by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon, respectively.
