Tony Scott was hired for Top Gun due to his Saab commercial.

Best Ernest movie is Ernest Saves Christmas Goes to Camp.
FIFY
That's the one Ernest movie I never saw. But, Christmas had this:



(I might have been in love with her as a kid...)

Also, this scene never fails to make me laugh.

I think they probably made a California Raisins movie.

Ernest scared stupid was legitimately one of the scariest movies I saw as a kid. This was back in the day when TNT, TBS, and about a dozen other channels played horror movies at night all weekend.

We rewatched it last October. Still terrifying.
I haven't watched it in forever but man that was one of my favorites.

When my wife asks what we need from the grocery store I always tell her "miak" for milk.

She thinks I'm an idiot but it makes me laugh every time.

I think I watched "Ernest Goes to Jail" the most out of all of them.

I would rate them as the following:

1. Ernest Scared Stupid (I agree with the other poster, that witch was scary as hell)
2. Ernest Saves Christmas
3. Ernest Goes to Camp
4. Ernest Goes to Jail
5. Ernest Goes to School

I don't know if I saw any of the other ones.

Cadbury eggs have been doing the same commercial for 30 years. Pretty sure they have the longest run of commercial in existence

I for some reason have Ernest Goes to Africa on DVD (pretty sure I found it under my hot water heater in Dallas like 15 years ago). It has been labeled as one of the most racially problematic movies of all time.

Worth a read: https://uproxx.com/filmdrunk/reviewing-every-ernest-movie-africa/

But my order would be:

1) camp
2) scared stupid
3) Christmas
4) jail
5) the others


Jim Varney is a legend.

Miak! I've said that many times over the years and didn't realize that is where it came from.

Jim Varney was a good dude. I saw him at a mall NC once in the 80s. I will never forget that. He wore that outfit a lot.

I still say "Know whuta mean, Vern?" sometimes and my kiddo looks at me like I am crazy.

This is our answer. I think it got overlooked in all the Ernest talk.

Simon Rex needs to star in a documentary about him, it just an actual movie
