Through nine feature films, an Emmy-award-winning TV show, and thousands of television commercials, Ernest P. Worrell became a beloved comedy icon. Originally created as an advertising character, Ernest transcended these humble beginnings to become an unexpected hit-given life through the creativity of an indispensable team of artists, as well as through the unparalleled talent of actor Jim Varney.
Today, two decades after Varney's death, both Ernest and Jim seem to endure largely as pop culture footnotes; or worse, as easy punchlines. But there’s more to Ernest than that, and this documentary film will guide viewers through the entire Ernest epoch to examine the shelf life of a phenomenon.
Using archival footage, cast and crew interviews, and never-before-seen material, we will seek to answer the questions: “Who was Ernest, who was Jim Varney, how did they relate, and why do they both mean so much to people?”

That Sprite can looks so similar to what it does nowadays. Surprising how some things don't change that much!
Today's can, however, does not have a picture of a lemon dotting the "i" anymore, I noticed.
@@befdoglover1 Yeah, they've become more simplified nowadays. Just shows how much attention I pay to certain things at times.
Really interesting to view this in the context of UA-cam where directly talking to/through the camera is a predominant format. Or even to think about the current prevelance of single camera "documentary" style comedies. I'm not well-enough versed in media histories to definitively state how pioneering or influencial these Ernest commercials were, but maybe a certain documentary will ;)
Well said!
Woah an Ernest video!
Sprite was my dad’s drink while mine was either coke or Dr.Pepper.....memories.
I agree with Ernest, Sprite tastes better than 7up.
Ehhh there pretty similar
@@tobydauberman6679 i feel 7up is too sweet
@@NomingTheNom Just the opposite, I find Sprite to be too sweet, and inferior to 7Up. But I'm in the minority, evidently. Sprite is everywhere. 7Up has practically disappeared.
I agree with Ernest too, never do THIS to an alligator… EHHBEBEBEDEBEBEDEBEBEDE!
I am drinking Sprite right now and I agree.
I think this man is a Saint 🎉
I agree with you Ernest!
There are two things I can take from this ad:
1. Sprite > 7up
V. Never act like Porky Pig to an alligator in Florida.
in a way Ernest always reminded me of Daffy Duck, only nicer lol
Interesting... Hope to see more about this!
Sounds interesting, I've never heard of him before, but looks like he was a great comedian! 🙂
His movies were my favorite as a kid. He definitely catered towards the kids.
Never do this to a alligator.abeedeedee! alligator attacks him.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Among those with preferences, more people choose Sprite as a independent taste test.
They made 9 movies with Ernest but none with the m&ms
Considering how cursed their ads got, it's probably just as well they don't have a movie!

Ernest honey I don’t think you should do that they will bite you
He was told not to touch the tree and say the magic words, and he did anyway. Ernest is not one for obedience.
I guess gators and badgers aren't that different.
Slinky
As much as I like this ad, 7Up tastes better than Sprite.
