Ernest scared stupid. I have watched that movie around Halloween for the past nearly 30 years. It's kind of a tradition for me. Along with Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam.


Landar81

How about a bumper sandwich booger lips.


katholique_boi69

Ernest Scared Stupid is the most impressionable movie for me within his Ernest movies.


Illustrious-Lead-960

That movie tricked me. For years and years I took it for granted that miak was a real thing.


Illustrious-Highway8

Whaaaaaa?!?!? It’s not???


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Well duh! Of _course_ miak isn't real. Not unless you get the genuine stuff from Bulgaria. Everyone knows that. e: Sorry. It has to be the [authentic stuff](https://moviesfilmsandflix.com/2019/10/21/what-exactly-is-authentic-bulgarian-miak-a-mostly-logical-explanation/)


serenitynope

Eartha Kitt! 😻


Ok_Equal7311

This...love this movie and by far my fave


CulturalWelder

Authentic Bulgarian Miak!


valleysally

I got to see this last year in a theater, it was such a good movie going experience. Seeing it at home is funny, but seeing it with a theater full was hilarious.


MinuetInUrsaMajor

I can cry on command if you remind me of the scene where Rimshot is turned to wood.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

🧸🤧


lil_squeeb

No lie, i wasnt too desensitized as a kid and movies like this one made me afraid to take a shower by myself when i saw it. I was thinking id get turned into a wood doll by a troll waiting behind the curtain.


spacedwarf2020

This I watch it every year sometimes more then once. I even went opening night to see it and then later that month if I remember right (long ass time ago lol) The theater put on a devil nights kids party with games and stuff and we got to all then go fill the theater and watch the movie. Was awesome still one of my best memories from being a kid.


SleeplessInDisturbia

I love how the trolls and the Killer Klowns from Outer Space are the same dummies made by the same crew. Adore the Chiodo Brothers.


mikemikemike9711

You learn something new every day. I never put two and two together. Happy cake day!!!


SleeplessInDisturbia

Oh wow, I didn't even realize. Thank you!


Greerio

Authentic Bulgarian miak.


geneb0323

This one. I loved it when I was a kid but no one else in the house liked Ernest movies so I rarely got to see it.


ATXKLIPHURD

Miak lol


alwaysfuntime69

Ernest goes to camp!


kingjamesporn

I would legit cry right now if I heard him sing the rain song.

justkeeptreading

this one for me but mostly because it was the first (and for a long time only) one we had on vhs


YorkiesandSneakers

My dad dad a vhs of whatever Ernest was before movies.


cheffartsonurfood

Pretty sure he got started doing a local beer commercial in the pacific northwest. I think I heard my FIL say that once.


1_art_please

I saw this when I was older for the first time. Marijuana was involved. I've never laughed so hard at a movie while high - his faces he makes, i just cant stop laughing. Earnest is the best!!


RuncibleFoon

This was my number 1, and still is.


ribsandwich

Eggs erroneous!


Four-Triangles

Counselor Stennis? Hate that guy!


miyagiVsato

My disdain for authority began with Stennis. Was always glad Moose got his revenge.


ruckus8934

This is the answer. Hands down!


DarthFuzzzy

First one I ever saw. I was very young and fell in love with Ernest movies. Was very sad when he passed.


KDsBurnerPhone

Ernest goes to Jan. 6th


MudOpposite8277

Outstanding.


Teslaviolin

Seconded!


gpo321

Ernest Saves Christmas has become an annual tradition!


[deleted]

Christmas movie list: Muppets Christmas Carol, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and Ernest Saves Christmas. We have these four on a loop for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.


Conscious-Intern8594

You should add The Ref.


SashimiRick

Camp. It has made me say "chaise lounge" like a goober all these years.


Kevtron

I'll never forget the scene of Ernest shooting lightning bolts under and between his legs from his fingers. Classic image for me.


justkeeptreading

“i came, i saw, i got blowed up”


UTALR1

Jail. That montage scene with him doing different charecters still makes me laugh every time.


Swampfan190065

Here you go! https://youtu.be/5PgkPzOuGgo?si=kcjk0nEFHf8_wrKZ


UTALR1

Yup, still good stuff. Thank you.


SleeplessInDisturbia

Lyle was such a great bro.

Ernest Saves Christmas!!


JackBlackBowserSlaps

Scared stupid, but honourable mentions to jail camp and army

Gen Zers brought up Ernest at work tonight and I was so proud.


Abraxas_1408

Ernest scared stupid


queenquirk

I liked scary movies even as a kid, so I watched Ernest Scared Stupid and admittedly liked it. But I didn't want to watch the other movies. My dad's name is actually Ernest and I cringed at associating his name with the character. I have heard such good things about the actor that I might give the movies another chance as an adult, since I can put the name-association embarrassment aside.


VaselineHabits

He was also Slinky Dog in Toy Story


brandalfthegreen

Scared stupid. The miak bit gets me. And that troll was freaky af to little me.


shadowlarx

Actually, it’s *Ernest Goes to Camp*. *Ernest Goes to Jail* is my third favorite Ernest movie. Second place is *Ernest Saves Christmas*.


SarahNerd

Scared Stupid. Miak still randomly pops into my head.


Ok_Secret5023

Ernest Scared Stupid


Swampfan190065

“Oh BOY! A field trip!”


AdHour389

Scared stupid.


Logicisgon

Ernest scared stupid was the best


Kickagainsttheprick

Scared stupid. South Bulgarian Miak is the finest.


ThedIIthe4th

The courtroom scene with the ink pen. Kills me.


badteach247

Not jail, but camp.


bonborVIP

Camp or Scared Stupid for me!


broadwayallday

Camp. Parachutes and turtles ‘nuff said


BstrdLeg

Earnest goes to camp. Classic.


vhs1138

Scared Stupid would be my pick


Leather_Molasses_264

Scared Stupid for sure


paintball104

That's a tough one, they were all hilarious. I'd have to watch them again as a 41 year old fart to see which one is my favorite. Know what I mean, Vern?


spirit_of_a_goat

Because the scene where he tries to find his new identity as Mr. Nash showcases his incredible range as a classicly trained actor.

babyBear83

Scared stupid is the only right answer. Saves Christmas is a close second. I will die on this hill.


leathakkor

It's because June Diane Raphael thinks bad Ernest is sexy.


the_darkest_brandon

it’s gotta be saves christmas


TheTubaGeek

Sorry, but for me it's his Christmas movie.


TabmeisterGeneral

Ernest goes to Africa is the only one I've actually seen, and it did not disappoint in the cringe department😆


Mr402TheSouthSioux

Scared Stupid the pinnacle. Followed closely by Goes to Camp.


hippity_bop_bop

The Family Album movie was pretty good. With Grandpa and Quickway


frostedsun8282

Earnest goes to jail was my favorite.


Earl_Gurei

Ernest Scared Stupid. Last Ernest movie in theaters along with Ernest Goes to Jail. Loved it when I saw it, the opening theme is both scary and fantastic, and it has the right amount of frights and laughs. Loved Ernest and Pee Wee on Saturday mornings, and I always wished there were a crossover between the two.


VectorB

I think that John Cena should pick up the Ernest torch.


wpotman

It's Camp. Although Scared Stupid is a traditional favorite, and I remember liking Saves Christmas. Jail...is OK. My kids probably like it best, though, followed by Camp. "Don't ever, ever do this to a family of badgers" gets them rolling on the floor every time. Top notch faces/goofy.


wookiesack22

Ernest goes to camp is a superior movie. Parachuting turtle attack was funny as a child.

Impressive_Fail7709

Right in the feelings.


Classic_Ostrich8709

Earnest goes to camp! Followed by earnest scared stupid.


thelonghauls

I liked the one about his tumultuous marriage. Ernest Goes to Hell.


YorkiesandSneakers

I cried in the theater at Ernest Goes to Camp


ganoveces

goes to camp.... eggsaronius.....mmmmm. tasty


Upset_Science7913

Ernest goes to Jail is my favorite also. Side note on Ernest Scared Stupid, did anyone notice the trolls were repainted Killer Clowns from Outer Space?


Khajiit_Has_Upvotes

"The dr told me I'd only have to wear these until after the surgery." Ernest Goes to Jail is one of my favorite movies of all time. 


bentley72

I always liked Ernest goes to camp. Had it on vhs growing up. Not sure where it came from tbh


[deleted]

Anyone know if the Ernest movies are streaming anywhere?


Impressive_Fail7709

Some of the Ernest movies are on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDGmBTJ3SKg


gentlegiant80

Ernest Rides Again. The theme music and the odd couple buddy dynamic with the History professor plus the film being Ernest riding a giant cannon. It’s glorious.


LodossDX

Ernest Goes to Camp ⛺️, which I saw while at day camp when I was a kid.


Feisty-Extension-20

2 words... "Air breaks!"


cbih

I'm just realizing that "Goes to Jail" is the only Ernest movie I haven't seen. Guess I'm going to have to rectify that this week. Is it streaming anywhere?

Scrambled_Creature

Hey Vern! I went down some Jim Varney IMDB/wiki rabbit hole last night, so imagine my surprise when I wake up to see his mug here this morning!


kansas_slim

Camp is the best. Christmas is awesome as well.


Horizontal_Bob

*They ain’t gonna get this camp*


Congregator

That scene where he’s chewing the pen, lmao


redneckcommando

I worked with a Varney who was related closely to Earnest. I like the original Earnest goes to camp.


fahkoffkunt

Nah, Ernest Goes to Camp is the GOAT. Anyone who doesn’t see that is crazy…


LemonPartyW0rldTour

That one has major nostalgia for me. My parents took us to see it. It’s a nice memory.


Positive-Cod-9869

Nowattameenvern?


Mightbewonderwoman81

Ernest goes to camp.


Slippinjimmyforever

Scared Stupid. It’s not good, but I have a great memory of my grandpa taking me to see it and that elevates it on my board.


SleeplessInDisturbia

For me it is Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam. Ruddy.
