"Ernest saves everyone but himself"

Whilst i was channel hopping yesterday i found that as usual there wasnt really anything worth watching. Its nothing new, so i'm quite used to it these days, but to my horror i stumbled upon a "Comedy" starring Jim Varney. Ernest saves christmas was billed as a "Comedy", but the only laughs came from Jim Varneys Hillbilly accent.

So amazingly awful was this film that the tv guide didnt even bother giving it a review. And even more histerical is that this isnt Jim Varneys first offence. "Ernest saves christmas" is but one film in a sea of other "Ernest" badness.

Whilst Jim Varney was at one stage a stand-up comedian, and also appeared in "The Beverly Hillbillies" (hence his mastery of the hillbilly speech) he seems to have made the awful mistake of making one film too many.

It may be the christmas season, but subjecting viewers to "Ernest saves christmas" Is sadism.

I had no idea there was that many i only thought there was about 4. I've seen Ernest Goes to Jail, Ernest Goes to School, Ernest Rides Agaion & Ernest Saves Christmas, but i was just a kid and had no idea what i was actually doing. Now i do, i was actually worshipping Satan cos only Satan could come up with those films.

even more worrying is that i've just re-looked through the list and two of the films were made over 70 years ago....

Strangely enough I don't think Ernest Maltrevers is the Ernest we're all thinking of.

probably not...

I've seen:

Ernest goes to Jail
Ernest scared stupid (Saw this when visiting my best friend in USA in '96)
Ernest goes to school


I had no idea there were that many though. The last one I saw was the scared stupid one, and that was Waaaaay back in 1996.


Still, they were typical Ameican kids films; the scared stupid one featured heavily on Halloween, if you catch my drift....
