Jim Varney

[fusion645]

Ernest is the best. Truly an inspiration when I was a kid. I will miss him but never forgotten.

[BGreenClassics]

LOL...I love the skipping/fluttering away!

[Adino1]

Damn, feels like a nostalgia train just hit me. Glad I got to grow up in the 80s.

[dirtymexican138]

I grew up watching Ernest and when I see the movies they still crack me up to this day, R.I.P Jim

[BGreenClassics]

@dirtymexican138 So did I. I miss him so much!!!

[hpcwsd]

Khadaffi !!!!! You gave up your career in Hollywood to be leader of Libya ????

[MrsCamui]

R.I.P Jim Varney. One of the funniest men ever.

[ih8youm888]

61 in the 80/s pop v tv love r sweed

[tradersalt]

I remember these commercials, I saw these when I was a kid.

Does anyone remember 'Scream Theater' or 'kunfu theater' on channel 61 ?

[HOLDEN90000]

I LIKE THE BEAR!

[dgendvil]

There should another comedian like Ernest around these parts!

[Djarnis]

"knowwhatimean?" Brilliant. Does anyone see a slight resemblance between Jim and Ty from Extreme Makeover Home Edition??! Although Mr. Varney is waaaay funnier ;)

[rjok2009]

Exuse me MikeDeesNuts..... Larry The Cable Guy And Jim Varney are both super cool.

[OlymPigs2010]

@rjok2009 The Cable Guy tries hard to pretend he's funny...whereas Jim just lived and owned the character of Ernest!

[ChrisKewl]

This clip wasn't found, this was from an original reel from WCLQ, it has to be with the quality and how they are seamless. I assume this person worked at WCLQ. I miss channel 61. It's all Spanish now.

[SCRIPPSCAST2007]

Yeah... Channel 61 has been Univision O&O WQHS-TV since 2002. Also, yeah, Ernest was "The Man"!!! As for his CBS show, "Hey Vern, It's Ernest", they should consider bringing it back on the air!!! It will at least honor Jim Varney naturally!!! Viva Varney!!! Viva Ernest!!!

[katmaidog]

yeah what wrath231 said.

[KidWOW]

Great Ernest video. I wish the commercial Ernest did for TV 61 regarding "Tales From The Darkside" could be found. That one was really funny!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"And Vern, I like the little bear!" Timeless!

[abeautifulgirl]

long live ernest!

[1f5sda]

I loved his humor!

[LamaPhantom]

Ernest was the best and alays will be!!!!

[Spanglemaker42]

I'm obsessed with these commercials. So very funny.

Thanks for posting.

[DSkehan501902513]

Where did you find this?

[1985Nebraska]

That was interesting. Not only did I grow up with Ernest. I also grew up with He-Man and Inspector Gadget. Of course, I didn't have the TV-61 channel.

[Entwistle905]

You should add the whole "Ernest P. Worrell" in your tags

I Love Ernest Commercials, RIP Jim Varney
