A true legend ... we lost a good one the day he passed. Still watch his movies.

Jim Varney done a wonderful job playing Ernest. On all his movies. He was a wonderful actor. R.I.P. JIM VARNEY.

Great comedian who had the talent to make people laugh in his movies.

Sure miss Ernest. And sure miss Jim Varney.

Dan must have been laughing really hard during that segment, was teary-eyed at the end!

Love you Jim. Rest in peace my brother.

3:16 - "home of the 45 second minute"! Man had a perfect grasp on his demographics! Very underrated actor, done in just like my other hero, Rod Serling. Both died from complications brought on by adult years of smoking. Thanks for posting this video. 🌎🇵🇷😉

We even had Ernest P. Worrell commercials in Honolulu.

He was the most nicest and funniest person ever wish he was still alive

i watched all the ernest movies when i was a kid love those movies so much

"Offensive" whooo boy how times changed

If I had one wish in this world 🌎 I would wish that Jim Varney had never died of cancer, he would still be warming our hearts and making the greatest commercials the world has ever seen ❤

I like it! In the 1980s the Ernest commercials were bigger than ever (Algers)

I love the man. Miss him so much.❤️😔

1:53 A little Dr. Otto action there. Also, 2:29 Priceless! LOL!

MISS HIM EVERYDAY ILL NEVER NEVER STOP LOVING HIM

Wow. This was BEFORE his silver screen debut!

“KnoWhutIMean?” - Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney, 1949-2000)

We love you and miss you Jim! Looking forward to running into "Ernest" in Heaven! "Hey Vern, look what I found! A harp, made of clouds, Vern!"

A Comic Genius, I visit his Grave as much as Possible in Lexington KY and Ernest Day in June is always a Blast. Miss that Original Comedy and hilarious Man.

That was the 1985 Clemson-Maryland game. Varney spent the week filming Ernest commercials for WYFF 4 in Greenville.

"you sure got a lot of stale old stuff down here" haha, I grew up on Ernest, the commercials, the show, and the movies. how many shows does somebody's tongue tell you what something tastes like. Ernest was great, innovate, original and funny as hell without being brain dead (Yo gabba gabba) and over vulgar (crotch shots) of today's cartoons and live action kid shows. RIP Mr.Varney, you are missed.

R.I.P. John Cherry and Jim Varney.

I love seeing the old commercials but i grew up on the movies we never had Ernest Commercials in florida

LOVE JIM VARNEY WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL

Dan Rather’s mugging at 0:25 is hilarious

“Awww jeez Vern! There’s yer problem right there! Ya see them two little wires right there? Looks like ya gotta lil shhooooorbeteborteboretebtoretebetorebt - oooooooooort in it”

Enjoyed the man's comedic aptitude

2:13 I remember being that young and I never called Ernest "Vern." Some people...

Aww, even Dan Rather thought our Jim was funny!

The original Larry the Cable Guy.

I remember watching him during the news broadcast. It was always about what not to do. I try to explain to my kids how great of an actor he was at that time. I look back at my childhood and just think how much this world has changed. I wished I would have listened to my parents more now. Rest in peace Jim. You sure were a special person

R I P Jim Varney

Wish Ernest was still here.. He'd save the day!!!! RIP Jim....KNOWWHUTIMEAN???

As hat's off said, the 1st viral video star.

"Smoooth..."

Nice likable & lovable character.

I wish there was a news on his passing

He was a true earthly treasure

Rip. Ernest

R. I. P Jim Varney

Ernest was the coolest 😎

RIP Jimbo

Ernest would never share the Killian documents without trying to verify them first.

I just thought, how crazy would it have been for him to depose the pope for a day? Like "your world as I see it", in latin, and some Ernest hijinx mixed in. Perhaps the pope giving mass and recognizing Jim for Sainthood shortly after? Catholics giving the long chants with each phrase... "Ya-kno----O---w what I mean Vern?"

Does anyone got anymore ernest commercials if so upload them please

Ernest would have killed on KZfaq. RIP Ernest.

:51 that looks like the oldest Ernest commercial I’ve seen.

Hey Vern

Vern is his next door neighbor.

That's a movie worth making.

Before he did his first ever Ernest movie, Ernest goes to camp.

Gone to soon

An Ernest BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE, huh? That could be invaluable to Western civilization!

Blake's Lotaburger! You know what I mean Verne?

Don draper didn't come up with this here.

WeLOVE ARNAST THE NO 1 .

CBS wouldn't be anything today in 2023 without Jim Varney

Lol 😁

Slinky!!

Jim Varney was always my hero

5 SELFISH PEOPLE

Slinky lost his marbles those years. Walter Fielding same thing

Holy crap!!!!God I miss these days!!

Kind of a Jim Carey character.

Varney would have been better than Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds.

Remember kids, he was more popular than Mickey Mouse at the Indy 500…..wut?

"Loud-mouthed, overbearing, and crude," the now disgraced Rather unwittingly describes himself.

Terrible audio. Low volume. Low quality. Lowdown. 👎

Horrible sound

Hillbilly humor

Rip. Ernest
