I loved him so much. Losing him was a huge blow to comedy. R.I.P. Jim. <3

He was quite the sophisticated man in real life.

Toy story

Here in 2024, still remembering Jim.

Him and Pee Wee Herman, my favourite grown up kids 😊🌹😊

My favourite grown up kid 🤓

It’s too bad that he did end up getting type-casted due to the famous character Ernest. He really was a talented actor.

holy moly, joan lunden was gorgeous in 1984

Loved this guy in Ernest goes to Jail and that gold tooth he sported for the role. Yes Jim was a very underappreciated talent who could make people laugh without the use of foul language or raunchy humor.

Rest easy good buddy. ❤❤

Too funny😂😂😂

What a legend! Thanks for sharing these treasures!

My mom called that a rat's nest in the hair, impossible to comb out, thy would resort in to cutting the hair 😂

Clean and funny hollyweird could use a few lessons from class acts like Mr Varney

His smile is beyond precious. ❤

thanks

I was aware the Mr. Varney was also a successful Shakespeare stage actor.

😂

Incredible actor , rest in peace

Life’s short

A wonderful person!

His voice takes me back to childhood watching his goofy movies man i miss it

Ernesto, was, in, the, 80s, a, great, comedian, when I, was, a teenager, enjoyed, a lot, seeing him, for me, one of, the, best, of his, time, what, rest in, peace!!!!

I had such a crush on Jim Varney ❤❤❤ probably bc he looked like the uncle that touched me when I was little

Terrible

Talking to miss booger lips hahaha

lol, this guy was and in this day and age I think this guy's name should be more acknowledged he has given in the past

🧚🏻‍♂️💒🗽🌏🦅🌌😆✌️

Much MORE CLEAN THAN THE OTHER ONE….WHOLESOME VERN!!!DR.BRYANT LANE

1980s Joan Lunden... mmmmhmmmmm.

I didn't realize Ernest started this far back. I seem to remember him coming on the radar around '86-'87.

Loved Jim Varney very talented man......Hey Vern!!

R.I.P Ernest 👍

Hey Vern, its Ernest

Fellow Kentucky boy. I'm tellin ya he reminded me of my grandpa the voice, his size, and when he had a mustache his look lol... Miss this dude. I was just thinking about my childhood and earnest popped up and I was like what happened to him. I had no idea that he died. Poor guy man. Varney r.i.p

Mr.Jim Varney was a very talented actor,comedian, even sang Abit most of ALL A HUMAN BEING YOU WISH WAS YOUR FRIEND 💯🙌👏👍🤗REST IN PARADISE

1984 Good Morning America has Comedians as guests, 2023 Good Morning America has Drag Kids as Guests.

I'm not sure my childhood TV experiences would have been as good without Jim. Absolute all-time favorite from my childhood and was a little heartbroken the day I heard he had died.

Wow! These comments are like all us 80’s kids are here almost feeling like a kid once again.

looks a lot like John Holmes, don't he?

❤

We just visited Jim's grave at Lexington Cemetery. Gone too young. Talented, clean, and missed.

Dr Otto and the Mystery of the Gloom Beam

Fun little fact, Hunter S Thompson Johnny Depp and Jim Varney are all from Kentucky…..that’s wild.

This lady is dumb as hell poor Jim

Mr Jim Varney was my grandfather's nephew. I saw him a few times at family functions he was very quiet but if there were kids around the silly came out and he liked to entertain mine and my cousins kids. I do miss him

Theo dad

I just love Jim Varney.

Never thought he was funny. Nice guy but who the hell found his stuff funny?

He seemed like a good guy, but even when I was a kid I never found him to be funny. I'm 42 now & I can confirm that I don't find him funny at all.
