Brains are indeed melting.
However those dubs where not professional dubs. It is a relict of video piracy from the 80s and 90s. Just fan dubs, people with microphons simply startend translating it and they translated a lot. Because of that they are very well knows, voices are iconic. And it sounds like meme material.
Or
Meme 2, where the translation is not so correct and ofc the wrong pronunciation of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not intentionally, many people just don’t know, that “egger” is usual family name in Switzerland and Austria. Examples are Niederegger, Heidegger, Waxenegger, Schwarzenegger and so on.
Meme 3. The curse parts a translated freely, almost the whole repertoire of Russian mat is concentrated there.
“egger” propably refers to the acre/field a farmer worked on back when family names for the non-nobles became the norm.
According to wikitionary:
Wohnstättenname zu mittelhochdeutsch ecke, egge „Ecke, Winkel“ (oberdeutsch Egg), also für jemanden, der an einer Ecke, an einem Vorsprung wohnt.
The genesis of this name is not that important I think. However! Arriving in Germany decades ago the pronunciation on “n” in Schwarzenegger maked far more sense to me. I thought it is a typical german thing, so far, that even their surnames where racist. On the top adding Schwarz(e), meaning black, I really thought this surname is peak of racism. But I accepted it, because I and many also thought: “That’s how Germans probably are and they are maybe also missing Hitler”.
Many years later, when I searched stuff regarding building up muscles, there was a guy with the surname Waxenegger, who claimed to be a former porn start or whatever. Since he did the right pronunciation, I needed time to process it, because I thought so wrong about people from Switzerland, Austria and Germany lol.
