Ernest P. Worrell

Ernest P. Worrell is a fictional character played by American actor Jim Varney in a series of television commercials, mainly taken from digital video (novelty at the time), and later in the television series Hey Vern, It's Ernest! ) as well as a series of widescreen movies. Ernest was created by the Nashville Carden & amp; Cherry and used in various local television advertising campaigns. The only national product he promoted was Coca-Cola Company, Chex, and Taco John's soda drinks. The first Ernest ad, filmed in 1980, advertises an appearance by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at Beech Bend Park, an amusement park near Bowling Green, Kentucky. The format of its ads rarely varies.

The rubber-faced Ernest, who almost always wore denim vests and baseball caps, appeared at the door of an invisible and inaudible neighbor but apparently did not want to be called Vern. The spots were arranged in a way to allow viewers to become "Vern", because Varney looked directly at the camera every time Vern was addressed. Ernest's seemingly useless conversation with Vern - who was actually a monologue because Vern never responded - inevitably raved about the favorable description of the sponsor's product, followed by his close signature, "KnowhutImean?" While Vern was never shown to say anything, it was implied that he regarded Ernest as an undesirable pest because he tried to slam the door on Ernest's face on several occasions. Vern also shook his head "No" whenever Ernest invited him to do something. Ernest, in spite of his good intentions, was totally unaware of Vern's sadness and regarded Vern as his closest friend and believer.

Histori

Ad Ernest was shot with a handheld film camera at the house of Nashville producer John Cherry III and Jerry Carden. As their client count increases, Varney sometimes rises upwards of 25 different place versions in a single day. Coke Sams producer claims that Varney has a photographic memory and will read the script once and then put various product names on different shots. Ads and characters have a definite impact; children especially seem to emulate Ernest and "KnoWhutimean?" became the slogan. Television series, Hey Vern, It's Ernest! , and a series of films released theatrically. Although the television series won the Varney, Daytime Emmy Award for its performance, the films were not well received; however, the latter is produced with very low budget and is quite profitable. In the movies, Ernest seems somewhat aware of his extreme opposition to danger, as in Ernest Rides Again he appears to be undisturbed by the bent nails after being fired on his skull, remarking 'Fortunately they hit the hard end' he also commented that he would die "If I am not this close to being a real cartoon." Varney in his Ernest role appeared in dozens of commercials for years at the Los Angeles television station, along with an advertisement for Audubon Chrysler Center in Henderson, Kentucky, John L. Sullivan's car dealer in the Sacramento, California, Pontiac, Electronics based in Michigan, ABC Warehouse, and Oklahoma City-based Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Store. In Southeast, Ernest's character is Purity's milk spokesman. In New Mexico, he appeared in an advertisement for Blake's Lotaburger. In Houston, he did an ad promoting Channel 2 News KPRC-TV. In 2005, five years after Varney's death, the character Ernest P. Worrell returned in a new ad as a CGI cartoon, made by an animated company called face2face and produced by Ernest originators Carden & amp; Cherry. Ernest is voiced by John C. Hudgens, an advertising and broadcasting producer from Little Rock, Arkansas, who also plays Ernest type characters in several regional direct action ads.

Randomized movie

In 1990, six Ernest films were reportedly under development. Coke Sams said in 2011 that Ernest Spaced Out may have received film treatment. Sams said about the film, "I believe it's some kind of Lost in Space movie." It looks like there's an astronaut and maybe a space capsule. "

Sams says the manuscript has been written for Ernest and the Voodoo Curse: We are returning to Abbott & Costello meeting such Frankenstein It is really a bad guy and happens on an island like Hawaii. [...] So we have Voodoo and a high priest It's like a stupid version of Raiders of the Lost Ark We have zombie lines, Voodoo potions, and Ernest pretends to be zombies Ernest and Voodoo's Curse is actually quite funny There's a woman in it, who has one blue eye and one brown eyes She should be the dream girl Ernest Of course, she will have nothing to do with her. "

In 2003, the biography page of IMDb Varney declared that he had died before he could complete the tenth Ernest film Ernest, titled Ernest the Pirate , which would otherwise be scheduled for release in 2000. In November 2011, Sams said the movie never existed. Varney has actually considered playing a role in the 1999 film, Pirates of the Plain .
