It's pronounced (exaggerated) "baahhhn" like Bahn Mi. Rhymes with Harm, farm, etc.

It took me too long to get this joke, and it must be the way it's pronounced in what I'm guessing is the US?

How do you pronounce bahn there?

Just pretend that Arnold is saying it

Certainly not like OP seems to think. "Bahn", just like it's spelled. And uh.. does not rhyme with words containing the letter 'r'. Because they have an 'r' in them. And "bahn" does not.

-bahn sounds the same way that the English word "ban" would with some accents.

I don't know what accents you mean because Bahn does absolutely not sound like "ban" or the German "Bann". The German word "Bann" is spoken with a fast A vowel. The word "Bahn" on the other hand is spoken with a long stretched A vowel instead, so it's very much the polar opposite.

Hmm, those words don't sound the same to this Bostonian.
