Hey there, Vern. I’m so glad you’re here to join us today.
Do you remember Ernest P. Worrell - the first viral superstar? "KnoWhutImean?” He was huge before smartphones and that strange new app called tik tok that all the kids are on nowadays.
“Today’s the day Vern, when Ernest will go down in those big, thick history books.”
So come on, let’s look at the colorful life and tragic ending of Jim Varney, the man that stared straight into the hearts of all media lovers in the 80s and 90s. But if you think Ernest was all Varney accomplished, or that Jim himself was a bubbling fooled - you’d be sorely mistaken. Jim always had a knack for making people laugh. The people who worked with him said that he was funnier off camera than he was on. Ernest was lovable, goofy beyond belief, and very relatable. We all know someone like him and that’s why the character was so successful. I’m looking at you Uncle Glenn.
I’m your host - Nostalgic Nick! And let’s jump on in and see if I can channel as much contagious energy as Ernest! If you enjoy this video, please give it a thumbs up, don’t be shy, Ernest never was. and subscribe to our channel so you never miss an episode!

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST ABOUT JIM VARNEY? 🤔

@mrj-charles6383 3 года назад

Probably Ernest Goes to Jail was one I watched many times. Something about Felix or as I call him Evil Ernest is always funny to me. My Brother RIP was a big fan or the Ernest movies' and got me hooked on them.

@michaelparham9551 3 года назад

Seeing him at the car wash in the city in Tennessee where we both lived. No I did not say" Know what I mean Vern " but I did say hello and so did he. He was washing his De Lorean.

My all-time favorite Ernest movie is "Ernest Saves Christmas. I may have commented on this before, so I apologize for repeating it if I did. Ernest Saves Christmas was the funniest ever!!!

@Farrah300 3 года назад

I also adored him in the role of "Jed Clampett" in the movie version of "The Beverly Hillbillies. True, he was no Buddy Ebsen, but he brought his own unique style to the role, and that's what I loved about him in this film.

One of my favorite commercials was the one with the tv where he said “my daddy used to work on them” before getting shocked. My dad was a repairman so I loved it.

@wirelesmike73 3 года назад

I was lucky enough to meet him at some gas station when I was a kid. I walked up and asked if he was Ernest. He laughed and said, 'Only when I'm workin'.' He was, in fact, one of the nicest people I've ever met. Three years later, I randomly happened to bump into him again. And, to my utter superprise, he remembered me. THAT blew my mind. So sad that he went so soon.

I grew up in the town Jim lived in. As you would expect, everyone knew Jim. But it wasn't just the terminally ill kids that got to meet Ernest in person, if the local school had a public event, Jim might be there dressed as Ernest and swamped with kids and parents around him. To us yes he was Ernest but he was also just Jim. Even today, those of us that know, are proud to say that this is where home was for Jim Varney.

My brother gave me a hard time too, well I remember feeling about 2 inches tall for being a little wimp. Half hour in and they were both laughing into tears from Jim's comedy and I felt like we found a new thing to bond over. Pretty soon we watched them all together. Rip Jim and pop's.

When I was 4-5, Ernest Goes to Jail was my favorite movie. My dad would borrow it from a guy he worked with, but I liked it so much, he just ended up buying it from him. I saw Ernest Saves Christmas as an adult, and I found myself still watching like little kids do, where they just stand in front of a TV, attention undivided. Even watching interviews now, he still cracks me up. But I had no idea he was such a charismatic star, with such a long history before the Ernest movies ever hit. It's pretty remarkable, I think Jim Varney was a profoundly talented person. More than I ever knew!

So growing up, my family would rent the Ernest movies and watch them all the time. A cousin of ours came over one night when I was still little and I answered the door and he was dressed like Ernest, Not on purpose but just by total chance. And my little kid brain just went "ERNEST!" lol. He was a legendary actor and is missed. Loved his movies and his commercials :)

@parisdream7913 2 года назад

I grew up in the 90s watching him in all of his commercials. I think Jim Varney and Robin Williams were the most iconic, enjoyable comedians to watch. I got this sense of feeling as if they were one of those funny favorite uncles in the house that all the kids would love to have them come over for every Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. They had brought joys in my childhood. Thank you the legends of comedy.🙏

I grew up in Nashville TN. I met him out at the Now long since torn down Bellevue mall (west Nashville) with my father. My Father and Jim were the same age, and about 3 years later in the early 90's my father ended up on a flight From LAX to BNA, sitting next to him in coach of course. Not only did Jim remember the Bellevue mall meeting, but that Jim cracked jokes NONSTOP for 3.5 hours. My dad said that the back half of the plane was in TEARS from laughing so hard. He said it was the best comedy session he's EVER BEEN TO in his LIFE. HE said he asked Jim right before they got off the plane, what drives you to be who you are? He said I love to make people laugh. That's it that's who I am and what I enjoy. "KNOW WHAT I MEAN?"

Ernest Scared Stupid is easily my favorite. Yes its incredibly cheesy but its got some great gags and jokes and I love the set design, creepy atmosphere, and make up effects. I also like throughout the movie the kids (and Ernest) seem very DYI, building their own haunted house and tree fort and setting up traps to capture the troll. They have to figure out things themselves since the parents and adults in the movie are beyond aloof but its very relatable when you're a kid. Many probably know this by now but the trolls in the movie are actually made from the same molds as the ones used in Killer Clowns from Outerspace. Outside of the joke where Ernest reveals he's actually able to find some authentic Bulgarian MIAK, especially during this time of the year, one of my other favorite its so bad its good kinda jokes is when Ernest is doing all his different characters in a montage and he shows up as a lumberjack and says: "Aint no trees in Botswana, uh-uh, I know, I am a Botwanian Lumberjack and I aint never had a job" It's just so dumb its funny and comes out of nowhere and I love it. Also Eartha Kitt is great as the crazy old lady Hackmore. "GET OFF OF MY PROPERTYYY!"
