4:16 you've got to realize there was no real special effects, they were actually throwing darts and he actually had to time out his dodging. Holy shit I was scared for him for a second.
Jim Varney made over 4,000 commercials as Ernest. Four thousand! That is unreal. What's even more unreal is that he had the ability to churn them out without making people grow sick and tired of seeing him. His commercials made me smile every time. He was a good actor, a funny comedian and a great human being. I know he's in a better place, but I do miss seeing him on my tv every day. Thanks for the many years of making me and countless others laugh. Varney, you are the best at what you did.
Jim always made clean movies but it was funny to see him get bleeped. Jim did Ford commercials. Mike Rowe does Ford commercials. Jim pretended to have ants in his pants and Mike really did have ants in his pants during the "Alligator Farmer' episode. There is a lot of similarity between these two. But there will only be one Jim Varney and one Ernest P. Worrell. No one else will ever have that Worrell charm. KnoWhutImean?
My aunt was a nurse at the doctors office that Jim used to go to before he died. He was a really intelligent man, and incredibly nice. His only gripe was how many people thought he was actually inept like his Ernest character, it didn't stop him from doing the character but he was actually extremely smart and well read.
@eternal0star I knew he was very intelligent. He did 'Ernest' so well, that people actually thought he was. Whenever there's a Jim Varney show on, everyone always refers to him as 'Ernest' even though he wasn't playing him at the time.
@MrSlowSkyline I know I died inside when my parents told me he'd passed. I couldn't believe it. Could you even imagine the great films that would be around today had he not died.
@werewolfnomore44 I don't know where you can get it in Canada... I usually see it in grocery stores and such in the soft drink aisle, where they sell them in the liter-sized bottles, or in six-pack cases of cans and such.
You are probably making god laugh up there....omg this is just too sad. No more slinky, no more ernest, no more commercials.....why do all good people die early?
does anyone know where i can watch the E True Hollywood story on him.... I cant find it anywhere online and I cant seem to ever catch it on tv or find out when it comes on again.
I would have died from laughing if I was working with him, I still bust a gut watching him and I miss him!! A true american original, the funniest ever. RIP
i didn't know he died till last nite when we watched the family guy where peter brought him back to life i was like HE'S DEAD and my mom's boyfriend was like ahh ya
at that pancakes on parade blooper is he mouthing shit? XD srry he just doesn't seem like the type of guy who cusses. imagine the ernest doin that! lol
What I don't get is that he played Jed Clampett in the newer (well... 1994 -ish) movie, "The Beverly Hillbillies" and nobody hardly ever mentions that one, I thought he was even better than as Ernest!
@MyceliaProductions42 He sure was. He was a very classically trained actor, and in real life had a near-genius IQ... he just ended up being pigeon-holed as Ernest and similar roles (Jed Clampett, Slinky Dog, etc).
He truly was a very versitile performer. One of a kind.
The commercials were shot at director John Cherry's house in Nashville. Yeah, talking about shooting on a small scale. The children's show he did in 1988 was shot at his own home in White House, Tenn.
does anyone know where i can find the blooper where Ernest leans on a big pot and the lid hits him in the face? i think it was a midas commercial but i cant find it anywhere.
Jim Varney was a true unsung legend. From Fernwood2night to The Beverly Hillibillies Movie. He was subtle yet versitile. I was so shocked to hear of his passing, yet with my movie collection and YouTube here - he'll always be alive forever. Thanks Vern. :)
