The passing of a pet is a special type of pain, because the word "pet" dramatically undersells their true meaning to us. I am tearing up as I type this, and my heart genuinely goes out to you. Thanks for covering this movie. I love it with all my heart. This man was such a huge part of my childhood and I was deeply saddened later in life when I learned how little work he got outside of the Ernest films. I never realized how much effort he continued put in despite how much the movies declined in quality after Rides Again. This movie is especially near and dear to me. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday and this movie was largely responsible for that. I was five when the movie came out, so Trantor scared the hell out of me, too. And yeah, Rimshot always had R2-D2 levels of scene-stealing ability. He was always wonderful.

I was already a bit older when this came out, but having liked earlier Ernest movies as a younger kid, I still fell in love with this film. It was one of those movies that I could just play in the background for comfort during homework and rewatch endlessly. It was part of my massive VHS collection which I stupidly (in hindsight) gave away back in the early 2000's. I haven't watched this in nearly 20 years now and had I known that it would be so expensive to purchase in the future, I probably would have held onto my VHS copy, which at the time I recall having purchased used when my local video store was shuttering for like $2. Any kid who wasn't alive in the late 80's and early 90's really missed out on, what I think, was probably the greatest time to be young that the human race ever has or will see, and just seeing this video takes me right back. To this day whenever I see a Bulova watch ads, I think of Bulgaria and then hear Ernst saying "Authentic Bulgarian Miak" in my head lol.

Ernest was always a favorite of mine, and I was in my late 30s at the time. His humor may not appeal to everyone, but his goofiness was a great bridge between children's and grownup entertainment. I did an Ernest P. Worrell outfit and imitation for Halloween in the early 90s. What great fun! Long live Ernest and Jim Varney.

Film critics are those people that you knew growing up that no one wanted to invite to a party because they would suck the life out it with their constant complaining. Ernest rocks and so do you for making this honest and heartwarming video. You really put it into words what made this movie, and Ernests other early films, great!

For fourteen wonderful years we were blessed with the life of a Jack Russell/Fox Terrier cross doggo - she was a determined escapologist, her whole back end wagged when she was excited - and was supper smart - we miss her terribly and it looks Stanley for you was a blessing too - so sad to hear of his passing. Love this video. :)

"Rare...Bulgarian...Miak!" 😂 This and Little Monsters were my favorite movies as a kid. Thanks for the review of this underrated flick!

RIP Stanley, just had the 1 year anniversary of the passing of my favorite little buddy, Starbuck. It sucks so bad, I'm sure you know by now, eventually the thoughts of him turn into smiles instead of sadness. Well done review, emphasized why I loved this as a kid, and still enjoy it now. I think I'll watch it this evening.

I've always loved this movie when I was growing up. I talked to my friends about it and they've never watched it before. It is such a hidden gem. It's so silly and fun to watch. The troll used to scare the crap out of me, and I hid under my blanket whenever it showed up, haha. The most memorable scene in the movie was the water guns! That was such a badass moment for me as a child.
