    I loved the Ernest movies when i was 10, me and my cousin watched them all and thought they were the funniest thing ever.

    RIP Jim Varney.

    The scariest one was Earnest goes to Neverland.

    Who the hell was Vern anyway? Did they ever even show the guy? I always thought he was that crazy little old guy, but I watched one the other day and found out there was no Vern.

    Varney launched that character doing commercials for a regional dairy company here in North Carolina. They were a big hit and he got a nice career going; he even got to play Jed Clampett on the big screen. Too bad he die so prematurely... :(

    Dude smoked since he was ten years old. I saw a TV special on him one time...He was actually a Shakespearean trained actor, but got stuck in that Ernest role...

    His best work by FAR, though, was as the Carnie in the Simpsons...

    I didn't know he was dead...I saw a special, I think last night, but said he was stuck with Ernest so long, that he had trouble getting type casted...

    I didn't know he was the dog Slink in the Toy Story movies...
