Jim Varney = Ernest P. Worrell

[LogicDonny]

Hey guys.

Do you remember the late Jim Varney? He was such a funny actor who played in many movies and had his own character called Ernest P. Worrell.

He starred in many commericals as Ernest, had his own movies and even his own tv show.

Some of the classic movies like Ernest Goes To Camp, Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest Scared Stupid and Ernest Goes to Jail.

His tv show was called Hey Vern! It's me Ernest.

I did a search on youtube for Ernest and found 3 pages of commericals featuring him and a couple featuring a new Ernest guy who shouldn't have been made due to the fact a new actor is taking over for Jim! :x

So ya I was just remembering this morning of a great actor like Jim so I searched up Ernest on youtube and found this.

WTF?! A new Ernest?! That's SOOOOOO wrong!!!

I love the Ernest movies... My fave part in Ernest Saves Christmas "Air breaks..." :lol:

[Jester]

What's funny is that Varney was a classically trained Shakespearian actor...:P

I watched the commercials and I hate the new guy. Nobody but NOBODY will ever be able to replace Jim Varney period. The guy wasn't even trying and he wasn't even funny. Plus he was too predictable. Meh.

And now I shall quote my fave quote from Ernest Scared Stupid.

"I didn't have 4 fathers!! I only had 1 and I didn't know him that well!!"

I loved Jim Varney. There shall be no other Ernest's.

Yeah, that rip-off Ernest really sucks balls. Thankfully, the website seems to be just a small-time operation and these clips are just commercial concepts, from what I understand. I doubt this will ever see the light of day as a fully-fledged commercial. Bleh.

That's what made him so funny. I hate cheap imitations like this. I just hate it.

[Jester]

Kinda like Patrick Stewart...he's great. One of my favorite actors. He can be serious and silly almost with in the same scene.

WHAT!? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I can't believe they revived Jim Varney as a cannibalistic zombie so they could make car ads. Oh wait, that didn't happen....yet. :evilgrin:

[Time Mistress]

I love Jim Varney too! My fave movie of his was Ernest Goes to Camp. The parachuting turtles and toilet catapult rock! A new Ernest is just so wrong! KnowwhatImean, Vern?

[Spider]

I wish my name was Vern so I'd feel some deep significance when he talks to the off camera character. Like he's talking directly to me...otherwise those scenes are kind of annoying.
