Today, millions of fans still mourn the loss of actor Jim Varney, who portrayed Ernest and who died at age 50 in 2000 of cancer. That is Space Jam meets Ernest with magic Air Bud like sneakers.a must watch for any schlock lovers.Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Ernest, the lovable blue-collar buffoon, was a staple of pop culture in countless commercials, nearly a dozen movies and an award-winning Saturday-morning TV show. A movie that happened in there that deserves mention though is Slam Dunk Ernest. The next four Ernest "blank" movies were kinda just Adam Sandler/National Lampoon'ing it a bit, but I'd take the Ernest Fluff quadrilogy in Rides Again, Goes to School, Goes to Africa, and In the Army any day. Scared stupid is a really great Halloween movie for children who are a little older than that and is actually a bit scary at that age. Goes to Jail is great for a little older crowd. Saves Xmas is a meant for a little older kid. Goes to Camp is the OG, and it's a classic underdog/rich guy is gonna shut down the mountain resort type of movie for children. ![]() His mannerisms kinda birthed Jim Carrey, and while you might not like his style the movies he's in are really great kids movies that adults don't hate and if you were the right age they grew with you.

In the years since, I've had relatives die, I've had friends die, I've had others commit suicide, and right now I have two relatives and a family pet who likely won't see the year out, but, thanks to the way my parents brought me up, I feel much more mentally prepared than I think I may have been had I been shielded from stuff like this from a young age.ĭeath is seen as such a taboo subject even though when we're born, it's the one thing we will all collectively do at some point or another. Of course I was devastated, but having the right mentality about death from a young age is important. I appreciate my parents because they didn't hide the truth away from me. ![]() Obviously I knew in the final few days, watching him refuse his water and whatnot, that something was seriously wrong. I had a dog, and I was young when he died, but my parents never hid death from me. I know, I just wanted an excuse to post Bojack because it's an awesome show ❤️Īnd I always found it weird, like.
