Hey Will, it's me, Justin, and you're listening to the important cinema club.

Vern doesn't have a voice.

I'm not Vern.

I'm Ernest.

I know, but I'm Vern in this equation.

Oh, so you can't reply.

Whoa.

Hey, Justin, are you standing at the top of a ladder? What if I

accidentally tipped it over? Whoa! Today we're going to be talking about one of the comedy

giants in film history, and that's Ernest himself, Jim Varney. Very important for a young

Justin the Clue and an adult Will Sloan, correct? I was an earnest superfan as a child, so much so that I even owned a denim vest. You did not. Yes, I did, an homage to Mr. Worrell. Like as a child or as like an adult? As a child, I don't think I would wear a denim vest anymore. Would you get that? Did you want the hat as well so you could be like pure earnest?

Well, I had a variety of hats.

And I, you know, just as a kid, you have baseball caps.

And I'm pretty sure I had a gray t-shirt.

So I definitely cosplay earnest at times.

Now, would you do earnest bits or stuff like that? Because, like, what

defines in your eyes earnest? Oh, um, I mean, he rambles. Yeah. He says words wrong. Uh, they,

Vern shuts the, uh, window on his fingers. Uh, would you ask your parents to do those bits for you?

Like, no, I, you know, I don't think, I don't, you know, I'm trying to look back. I don't think my earnest cosplaying, my dressing is earnest exactly extended to me doing an impression of him because the thing is there's only one earnest. Jim Vartney. Yeah, rest in power. When I was a kid, I must have seen all the earnest films, and I have no memory of them except for

Ernest Gared Stupid.

And at the time, I remember going to the video store, and it felt like there was like a million

Ernest films, like they never ended.
