As per the source, the 75-year-old athlete shared a hilarious snippet from the series that featured the father-daughter duo in a therapy session together, trying to fix their relationship.

Unlike his serious action movies, this role explores a different facet of his image as an action icon. “When I say action-comedy, I mean action-comedy. FUBAR premieres May 25th on @netflix” he wrote in the caption of the post. The dialogues satirically iterated his Austrian accent and bodybuilding background that most likely appealed to his fans.
The comments section organized itself into a fan fest, as most expressed their elation and excitement over the matter. Thrilled by the former IFBB pro’s action-comedy feature, the fans couldn’t hold back their laughs, and the remarks are proof.

In less than a day, the post amassed 212k views and was acknowledged by numerous comments from fans. One fan described their first reaction to the video, saying that they had their volumes off and the subtitles itself had him laughing hard, hence if the volumes were turned on, they “would’ve fallen to the ground laughing.”
I couldn’t have my volume on, so I watched this and read the subtitles. I’m glad I did, because if I heard this clip play out, I would’ve fallen to the ground laughing.
