Ive use to watch all the Ernest movies when I was a little kid. He use to crack me up so much, but now he is more cheesy then anything

Heres a list of all the Ernest movies
Ernest Goes to Camp
Ernest Saves Christmas
Ernest Goes to Jail
Ernest in the Army
Ernest Goes to Africa
Ernest Scared Stupid
Ernest Goes to School


My favorite Ernest movie would have to be "Ernest Scared Stupid" I watch it every year still around Halloween. I can never get over his line "How 'bout a bumper sandwich, Boogerlips?"

Anyone else remember these films or was/is a fan?

Omg, I have all the Ernest movies, they're a must! Jim Varney....that's his name, right, was just comedic genius! Too sad he passed away while filming another one.

I'm not sure which is my fave....have to watch 'em again.

The Ernest movies rock!
for this thread too. I have all the Ernest movies except for Slam Dunk Ernest, that one just looks like total crap lol. I love the cheesy humor of all the movies, Jim Varney who played Ernest was from a city 2 hours from my town too. He's such a great actor who could do so much greatness other than Ernest but he got typecast.

He's a truly great actor and man, I love these movies, thanks so much for starting this thread.

He has one of the most mobile faces ever.

Rainstorm Jenny

Aww yes I heard about that. Thats sad that he passed. What did he pass away from, again?

JesseP_Break_Me

Was it some kind of cancer?

CatFoley16

He passed away from lung cancer in 2000. He never let himself be photographed with a cigarette or anything like that in his hand though. He didn't want to send a bad message to the kids who liked his movies. I find that so sweet of him. He also got famous for doing commercials, I have a tape of about 100 of them and they are halarious. Jim Varney as Ernest

JesseP_Break_Me

I thought it had been cancer, and that is kinda cool about the photography.

CatFoley16

It is, so what are some everyone's favorite lines/scenes from the Ernest movies?

Rainstorm Jenny

Aww thats sad, and yes very sweet of him at the same time. I havent seen any of his other movies in so long, only Ernest scared stupid is want I always watch.

JesseP_Break_Me

I don't remember much, gotta go back and watch 'em, lol.

Rainstorm Jenny

My favorite lines from Scared Stupid are

[When seeing Trantor the Troll for the first time]
Ernest: Oh, I sure hope you're from Keebler!



Ernest: [about the troll] He looked like a big giant Mr. Potato Head. Except he was shaped more like a watermelon.

Great scenes. I'll try to think of mine later, right now I'm working on Health homework though. :| Not fun at all.

JesseP_Break_Me

You guys are making me want to watch these again, lol.

CatFoley16

I'm wanting to watch them again too, but all my copies of the movies are at home and I'm in my college dorm.

Here's another good scene, I don't have a picture but:
when the turtles attack people in Ernest Goes to Camp, they had voices for 2 of the turtles saying-
*Turtle One: I'm scared Sarge.
*Turtle Two: We're all scared son. lol When the turtles are launched Flight of the Valkeries plays and when they land you hear Happy Together by the Turtles plays! Great music placement.
