    when I was a kid i use to laugh at his material. In a 10 year old eyes, his movies were funny and great. Awesome to see this again and bringing back the memories.

    This is from the early '80s. I have it on the really old "Ernest Greatest Hits Vol. 1" VHS.

    It was a sad day when he died. I took it hard because I remember meeting him when I was in Hollywood. Nice guy. Jim shook my hand and made signed my book that I have of over 300 stars. Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and the list gets bigger.

    Ernest was hilarious. Its too bad that he died recently. The commercial was funny too.

    Ernest P. Worrell/Jim Varney was and still is one of the best 80s comedians. He's way up there with Pee-Wee Herman.

    Actually, MPM, only Jim Varney & the Earnest character died. "Vern" was always the audience...

    He was the best.

    So this is what he did before he started doing commercials for car dealers...and went to Splash Mountain. RIP Jim Varney. :'(

    I loved the funny antics of Ernest Worell. Heck, his comedy rivaled that of Pee-Wee Herman in the 80s and early 90s. He was even better than Jim Carrey! "Ernest Goes to Camp", "Ernest Saves Christmas", and "Ernest Scared Stupid" are my favorite Ernest films! The ending to this commercial had me laughing my head off! "FIRE ANTS?!! OW! OW! OW!" LOL! Poor Ernest...

    I believe Jim Varney has been in so many Ernest movies as well as in every Sprite ad. I do remember that commercial too when I was a kid. Sadly he passed away back in 1997. Jim Varney was Ernest P. Worrel. RIP.
