Reply to comment by peacefulwarrior75 in TIL Ernest P. Worrell (Ernest Saves Christmas et al.) & Vern were originally created by advertising company Carden & Cherry to promote various local and national brands. Due to the commercials popularity, an Ernest television show and ten movies were made, knowwhatimean? by OptionalPlayer

You're really missing out. Yes, they're designed for children. Keep that in mind. I recommend Ernest Goes To Jail to see the scope of this man's acting abilities. The fact that he was classically trained in Shakespeare shows through the characters.

That movie was covered by How Did This Get Made, and June Diane Raphael famously said Bad Ernest is sexy lol. They kinda enjoyed the movie iirc. Maybe i’ll watch it with my kids sometime.
