He would tell Vern about some really great remedy or preventive trick, and then fall off the ladder.

I miss him bros

>>211460652 (OP)
considering he was dying of lung cancer and a lifelong chain smoker, probably not very well

We missed out on a lot of kino from Varney

I also had no idea that he was also Shakespearean trained

Shit. Wrong picture.
I really wished he was able to step away form the Ernest character and take on more serious roles away from childrens entertainment. I could be mixing things up here, but wasn't he a villain in a 3 Ninja's movie with Loni Anderson or something?

It's amazing he wasn't a big star back in the 70s, that's an incredible look.

>Ernest wakes up to a runny nose. So much snot is pouring out of his nostrils and on his face, its sticking his clothes and hands to things and gluing themselves to his body as he's trying to just get out of bed.
>"Gee Rimshot, this ain't like any cold I've ever had before."
>Ernest turns on the tv and hears that a virus has broken out from China. Snap cut to Ernest now dressed as a bald Buddhist monk with slant eyes mimicking a Chinese accent and looking to seek out a cure using Far East medicine techniques. It ends up in Ernest inadvertently making a large firecracker that explodes inside his house.
>Ernest now blown up and burnt to a crisp goes outside for air only to find the streets are deserted. Vern ain't even opening his door for him to talk to. A police officer comes by in a mask to order him to go back inside and not leave until he wears a mask and uses hand sanitizer. Ernest then gets an idea, he finds a truck full of isopropyl alcohol and another filled with gelatin and he turns his backyard pool into a giant hand sanitzer. He goes for a swim but nearly drowns when the "water" is too thick.
>Ernest needs to go shopping so he puts on a knights helmet and heads for Wal-Mart. Because he can't see, he can't follow the directions on the floor and stay in his lane or maintain social distancing. People keep telling Ernest to fuck off and stay 10 feet away from them. Ernest can't understand what's going on in the world, let along follow social distancing rules, so he buys a broomstick and jerry rigs it to have working digits so he can use his credit card on the ATM and buy his products at the till from a distance like he was asked to. Hilarity ensues as Ernest repeatedly hits the till wagie in the head several times just trying to bag his purchases.

He got shoehorned as Ernest hard and on top of having a very rubbery face and character persona, we only usually ever got to see him with a fisheyed lens that exaggerated his appearances. Its not until years later do we discover that Varney had a very real presence to his look and was actually dashingly handsome.

>Tight as a gnat's chuff, know what I mean?

What would modern Ernest stories be like?
>Ernest Does Door Dash
>Ernest Gets An OnlyFans
>Ernest Visits Guantanamo Bay

Who the fuck is even going to the movies anymore? What would Ernest do at an empty theatre or worse, a theatre in Chicago showing Black Panther?
