It’s very disappointing. So thank you so much !
Thank you for keeping my cousin's memory alive. I follow your channel and always wanted you to do something on Jim. I have more memories of him before he became famous...but he definitely was the same off or on screen. Definitely an original in every way imaginable.
That's awesome... he is definitely one of my favorite characters growing up!! Always wanted to meet him.. seemed like a Kool wild n Krazy guy 😂😂 RIP TO YOUR COUSIN HE WAS THE BEST!!!
I remember how popular he was in the many commercials he was in before the movies. I was shocked and saddened when he passed. Rest In Peace, Jim Varney.
Used to watch Ernest with my dad on VHS in the 80s and 90s. Considering I grew up in the Midwest, we also saw all of his commercials. Good times. Such nostalgia. Thanks, Scott.
I live here in White House Tn and I got the pleasure of meeting Jim several times before he died!! He was always a big part of our community and was one of the nicest and funniest people you could ever meet. He was the same in real life as the character he played, and he may be gone but he will never be forgotten!!!
He was so hilarious. I was so sad when he passed so young. Thank you Scott. This was a wonderful way to remember Jim Varney. 🕊️🙏❤️ BTW, what a beautiful song..
Jim Varney is the best. I'm sure he's still making many smiles in Heaven. I love him and miss him. God bless always Scott and thank you very much for this.
Jim Varney will never be forgotten. He was one of my favorite people in my childhood. I was born in 1980 so he was a big part of my life. Loved him as Ernest. May he rest in peace.
I never knew of this funny man as I live over in the U.K., but you can just tell from his face what a nice man he was, and so many good comments about him at the side. Such a beautiful resting place with his parents and sister…..what made him a really nice man for me was seeing the little video clip you included of Jim with Robbin Williams….you couldn’t get a nicer man than Robin Williams for me, in ever way, so if Robin liked and got on well with Jim, you just KNOW they are. Two special Angels. Gone ahead of us all. RIP Jim.
Ernest goes to Camp was my first and favorite of his movies, although I love all his movies, you never forget your first. I would perform his toilet scene for friends and got Jim’s “eeeeeeeewww, eeeewwwwwww” locked down! Miss his humor!
Wow! Great job! Jim would've liked it. I knew him well. I stayed in his condo for couple years back in Lexington Kentucky years ago when he had just hit it big. I was going to UK and needed a place and he was needing someone to watch the place because he wasn't going to be home at all really. He worked his ass off guys. Jim was such an awesome guy. I love all Kentuckians. Some of the nicest people ever! Would literally give you the shirt off their backs and their last dollar if you needed it but if you stole it.....well they are the nicest until you piss them off. Haha Kentucky has ALOT of farms which means alot of farmers which means some pretty tough guys. Loved it there the 4 yrs I lived in Kentucky. I hate we lost such a great man and who single handedly brought us so much joy and was a HUGE part of us growing up. RIP Jimmy.
I never met Jim Varney, but when I was a kid, I saw Gailard Sartain who was in three of the Ernest movies on a plane I had boarded. I didn’t want to bother him, to ask him if it was him, but I watched the movies and TV shows enough to know who he is. If you don’t know who he is, he’s the “fat guy” character in Ernest Goes To Camp, Goes To Jail and Saves Christmas that when he gets scared, he makes a funny face.
Awhh seeing the video of him and Robin Williams warmed my heart 🥺 you should do Robin Williams grave/home next if you can.. he was everyone’s favorite! This is a wonderful video. Toy Story movies are such cute movies! I’m sure if I met him he’d be my best friend lol. I’m sure everyone loved Varney! He’s very missed.. you’re amazing visiting graves and telling their story. ❤️
ALTHOUGH HE LOOKS FAMILIAR I DIDN'T WATCH THE EARNEST GOES SERIES I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD PASSED AWAY......I DO LIKE THE FACT THAT HE LIVED IN A MODEST HM & SURROUNDINGS THAT'S NICE THAT THE FAMILY IS BASICALLY BURIED TOGETHER R.I.P TO THE VARNEY FAMILY
This was a great video, I remember watching Jim in his Earnest movies,he was so funny. By the way, what’s the name of the song you played,something about a friend. I just loved it and would like to download it. Thanks for all your great videos.
9 Ernest movies 1.Ernest goes to camp 2.Save’s Christmas 3. Goes to jail 4. Scared stupid 5. Rides again and this one was the last theatre release & 6 through 9 was home media release 6. Goes to school 7. Slam dunk Ernest 8. goes to Africa 9. In the army and not 100% sure but it’s always been rumored that he was about to or was starting to film a 10th Ernest movie then he got sick..
JIMS HOUSE: ITS ON A DIRT ROAD! ROAD MADE OF DIRT! ITS A DIRTY ROAD! YOU MAY GET DIRTY! ON THE DIRTY DIRT ROAD! YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN VERNE! GOTTA GO GET ME A GLASS OF MI-AK!
My mother owned a restaurant in Ridgetop called Granny's Kitchen back in the late 80s and Jim would always stop by when he was in the area and get him some of my mom's home made corn dogs. as a matter of fact, i still have a picture of him, hugged up to a waitress holding up one of the corn dogs.. i also remeber going to the cinema when we had one here in Springfield to watch Ernest Goes to Camp. Jim was a good ol boy and we were saddened to hear when he passed. Scott, wished i known you were in town, i would have loved to have met you. Keep the good stuff coming!
@@SCOTTONTAPE would love for you to do a video/story of Shannon Hoon and Layne Staley in the future. i loved these guys growing up and was devastated when they each died. Shannon passed 2 days before my 17th birthday. Layne's final few moths were also sad from what i've read. Thank you for all that you do and the awesome content you give!
Don't forget Billy Preston Grave Inglewood Cemetery James brown's grave South Carolina John Osteen's grave the father of the current pastor Joel Osteen Klien Cemetery Tomball Texas
R.I.P Jim Varney. Thank you for all you've given us. So missed and loved by so many until this day. May his legacy keep living on.🕊💐 Thank Scott for all the work you put in. Love your content.
One of the things I admired about Jim is even though he was a chain smoker he never smoked around women and children, and even when he was sick battling cancer he would still.visit the children's hospitals dressed up as Ernest and Visit the kids and their families. Unfortunately he never had any kids of his own but he did have a nephew who he treated as his own and his nephew a few years back wrote a book about Jim and went on a few podcasts and just said nothing but great things about Jim and how he changed the face of culture as we know it.
I noticed someone had placed a smokeless cigarette on his grave. They didn't come out until like 2009. I would like to think someone put that there wishing he could have tried one and lived longer. ❤
Oh Scott, what,a way to bring a tear. Love Jim and miss his humor and him so much. My daughter and I talk about him sometimes. Thank you for taking us here to celebrate Jim!
Scott what about Nate Dogg's Grave in Long Beach and Lou Rawls Grave in Hollywood Hills & Teddy Pendergrass Grave & accident location on lincoln dr germantown section of philadelphia
Every year in middle school (uk) at Christmas my school would have last day before Xmas with no classes just doing Xmas stuff and after dinner they roll out the tv/vcr trolley and watch an Xmas movie and one year it was earnest saves Christmas we'd all get a free twix and some cola was a awesome, first time ild seen anything of Jim varneys.
Aww, I forgot all about Ernest until you reminded me about him with your video. Thanks for bringing a great person like him back to life for all of us, Scott. What a beautiful video this is. It's so easy to forget over time about actors that once gave us so much laughter and joy. I'm so glad there's you out there to remind us of them. What a gorgeous cemetery and a serene place to be laid to rest. I have heard of Whitehouse Tennessee, and I love that town! RIP Ernest. You are never to be forgotten anymore.
Visited his grave and made a video/tribute on my UA-cam channel while on vacation driving over 2,000 miles. Couldn't believe I was there and visiting the comedy legend himself, still hard to believe that it's been 23 years since he's been gone and he's truly missed to this day. RIP Jim thank you for all the laughs and memories!
@@SCOTTONTAPE I traveled from Iowa to Chicago, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and back up through St Louis. Saw alot of amazing things/places along the way including Michael Jackson's childhood home, The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and many famous Celebrities Graves in those states. Love traveling the opening road and seeing and doing every experience possible
@SCOTT ON TAPE - Your Pop Culture Tour Guide It is and I am greatful for every moment your out traveling. I can't travel any more. I used to, thousands of miles yearly...showing dogs. Thank you for everything, Scott!
@@ZorzGaming Me too. I took my son to see it in the theater the year it was released, and thought that the man who played Santa Claus was delightful. My parents who are both gone now really enjoyed watching this every year and I would bake Oatmeal cookies for my Dad to have while he watched with the "baby," who is now 18 and looks forward to watching it with her boyfriend's grandparents who are from Taiwan. She said that the granddad has a great sense of humor and thinks he will love it. She is going to bake cookies for him.🥰 It's great to see that someone else is "one with the Yule." Know what I mean?
Glad you're covering him. We had several things in common. He was a talented stage actor who got typecast and embraced it. He tried to avoid smoking around kids. He's buried in Lexington just north of me. He performed in Danville where my mother lives. And, I used to live in Nashville just south of him.
Thank you for everything you do for these videos. Jim was my childhood. I would rent Ernest scared stupid and goes to camp almost every weekend with the movie 3ninjas lol
Oh my this man made all of us so happy and laugh so hard. Broke my heart when he passed away. Such a huge part of my childhood involved watching him. RIP Jim
Hi Scott awesome video ❤ Jim varney was absolutely the best at doing commercial's nobody was better as and he was a absolutely brilliant Actor he will always be one of my favorites and he is truly missed Rip Jim varney.
Did you know that he was also the voice of Slinky in toy story? I already saw his grave on Hollywood graveyard a long time ago maybe a year ago maybe longer than that
@@SCOTTONTAPE you should check out Hollywood graveyard I'm not really sure what video Jim varney's grave is on but you should definitely check it out Arthur Dark is awesome
My sister went to school with Jim, and I was always a huge fan of his....still am. One of the most underrated talents of the 20th century. Doctor Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam!
Circa 1998, when Varney first learned of his cancer, I heard that when he found out from his doctor that he had cancer, he reached into his pocket, pulled out his cigarettes, and threw them in the wastebasket. He was visibly shaking and was just staring at the pack of cigarettes for a minute, almost in disbelief. He never smoked another cigarette again. I don't remember where I heard that, and I was very young at the time, but it's something that has always stuck with me. I think one of the reasons was because Ernest P. Worrell was one of the first (if not the very first) childhood celebrity that I watched all the time, that had passed away.
I was at Twitty City, Conway Twitty's estate, for one of its annual open to the public Christmas celebrations as a kid & in one of the rooms we walked by was Jim Varney & Tom T. Hall playing piano & singing Christmas carols. It was before "Beverly Hillbillies", but I'm not sure how many movies he'd done by then? He was mostly known in Nashville as Earnest from his Purity Dairy commercials. He wasn't in character of course, but he was really nice & they both gave me an autograph. ✌🌎❤
I lived in Hendersonville and never made it up to White House but I never saw Jim Varney around. I remember all of the commercials on Channel 5, I think. He seemed so kind and so talented. He is missed so much.
@@Thomas116-m2n Don't know if you remember, friend, but right around time he hit it big he did a tv special with several different skits, mostly him playing main characters? May have been on CMT if not primetime? If never saw it, it showed his range of comedic talent like nothing else he did as far as I know. Should still be on here if interested to see him at his creative best. I just remember "Sketti! Sketti, daddy!" ✌️😅
So many great people have been taken away too early by cigarettes. In he's last months Jim Varney said it in interviews it was he's own fault and warn others to give up or not start smoking. Jim Varney said he had many more years to give in entertaining others taken away from him by cancer. He said making people happy was he's greatest joy in life and he's greatest reward. R.I.P. Jim Varney you were one of the nicest guys on earth.

Good stuff Scott... Thanks for sharing... Good to see Pete too.
Thank you for not boring us with Disney park visits! JV was a wonderful actor who showed us humility.
Thanks to Jim, I still hear "Hey Vern" to this day. I don't mind a bit either. He always brought a smile to everyone's face and that is a true gift.
I Remember Him From His Movies And Ads He Did His Miss Dearly He Was Great At What He Did And Thanks For Doing This On Him Scott Awesome Video
8:27 It’s hard to believe that both Jim & Robbin Williams are both gone, they both made me laugh so hard. RIP to the both of them, they deserve it.
I remember some of his Commercials growing up. He was so Funny, just an Amazing Guy.

He was all over tv in north GA in the mid to late 80s too. He was naturally a funny person without using profanity. Hated he died before his time.
He was in commercials all over
Circa 1998, when Varney first learned of his cancer, I heard that when he found out from his doctor that he had cancer, he reached into his pocket, pulled out his cigarettes, and threw them in the wastebasket. He was visibly shaking and was just staring at the pack of cigarettes for a minute, almost in disbelief. He never smoked another cigarette again.
I don't remember where I heard that, and I was very young at the time, but it's something that has always stuck with me. I think one of the reasons was because Ernest P. Worrell was one of the first (if not the very first) childhood celebrity that I watched all the time, that had passed away.
Ohhh! I miss Jim Varney. Love all his movies and commercials.
Great job. I used to watch his weekly show I think on Saturdays. Great actor who does not get the credit he deserves. He was a funny guy.
I was at Twitty City, Conway Twitty's estate, for one of its annual open to the public Christmas celebrations as a kid & in one of the rooms we walked by was Jim Varney & Tom T. Hall playing piano & singing Christmas carols. It was before "Beverly Hillbillies", but I'm not sure how many movies he'd done by then? He was mostly known in Nashville as Earnest from his Purity Dairy commercials. He wasn't in character of course, but he was really nice & they both gave me an autograph.

I lived in Hendersonville and never made it up to White House but I never saw Jim Varney around. I remember all of the commercials on Channel 5, I think. He seemed so kind and so talented. He is missed so much.
@@Thomas116-m2n Don't know if you remember, friend, but right around time he hit it big he did a tv special with several different skits, mostly him playing main characters? May have been on CMT if not primetime? If never saw it, it showed his range of comedic talent like nothing else he did as far as I know. Should still be on here if interested to see him at his creative best. I just remember "Sketti! Sketti, daddy!"
✌️😅
So many great people have been taken away too early by cigarettes. In he's last months Jim Varney said it in interviews it was he's own fault and warn others to give up or not start smoking. Jim Varney said he had many more years to give in entertaining others taken away from him by cancer. He said making people happy was he's greatest joy in life and he's greatest reward. R.I.P. Jim Varney you were one of the nicest guys on earth.
What's Up Vern know what i mean
I would have loved to sit with Jim and Robin. Rest in Power Jim
