Arnold Schwarzenegger reunites with 'backstabbah' Danny DeVito in Super Bowl ad

The "Twins" stars are together again in State Farm's Super Bowl commercial.

Julius and Vincent are back together.

Longtime friends and Twins costars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito reunited for State Farm's new Super Bowl commercial. The ad features Schwarzenegger as the near-hero Agent State Farm.

However, being a spokesperson means you have to say the company's familiar slogan, "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there." That's a problem for the hero because he pronounces it "neighbah" instead of "neighbor."

That portion of the ad was teased in advance of Sunday, but it was left on a cliffhanger. The director hadn't yet revealed how he'd get his faux-movie's star to say the most important line.

On Sunday, we got the answer. The director's solution? Bring in DeVito, whom Schwarzenegger calls a "backstabbah," to say the line.

The duo not only appeared together previously in Twins, but also in 1993's Last Action Hero, 1994's Junior, and, more recently, Schwarzenegger cameoed on the animated series Little Demon, which stars DeVito as Satan.

"We love working together," DeVito told the Sunday Times last year, saying that they were hoping to work together again. Schwarzenegger shared a similar sentiment after watching DeVito and daughter Lucy DeVito star in the Broadway play I Need That.

"My brother!" Schwarzenegger wrote on Instagram in December. "It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in I Need That. He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute — one of the best plays I've ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can't wait to work together again."
