Other than screencaps, the Ernest commercial that started it all (the one that promoted Beach Bend Park over in Bowling Green, KY) remains lost to this very day.
I grew up in Connecticut in the 80s and 90s but I loved Ernest after watching “Ernest Goes to Camp” in the late 80s, and I remember my cousins and I renting “The Ernest Film Festival” from the video store, watching the entire thing and laughing the whole time. Even though his commercials didn’t really reach the North, I do remember a commercial he did for the Town & Country Car Dealership up here where a magic wand turned him into a bikini model who said “Knowwhut I mean??” in his voice 😂 My grandparents got their car there, so they brought me home a paper Ernest mask the dealership was giving out. I wish I still had that mask!

I thought I saw an excerpt of it on an old news clip. It would be a great find if we could unearth the whole thing, though!
Rest in Peace, 🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺 miss you!

I just realized that Theo Von and Ernest seem really similar, I bet he was an inspiration for Theo
Take a sip every time he says Verne ...
🥴🥴
I Remember He did a Commercial for LEWIS Drug Store.
"Happy Holidays" while singing a Christmas song.
Make it make sense.
"Mouth-to-mouth resignation"?! 😂😂😂
I always felt sorry for Vern having to deal with Ernest every single day 😖
