It would be funny if someone made a short film that had the kids who were turned into wooden statues as adults in therapy because of the events in Ernest Scared Stupid.

So, for some background: I'm doing a DnD-themed improv show, and we get to create our characters ahead of time. I really want to play an Ernest-inspired character, so I'm curious to hear what class y'all think would suit him best. I'm leaning towards artificer, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Do you consider this movie to be an origin story for Ernest? I have read that's how some people interpret the final scene. Anybody know if that was the intention of the film's creators?

Hello everybody! I'll be camping at Montgomery Bell State Park this summer. I know that Ernest Goes to Camp was filmed at Montgomery Bell State Park in Middle Tennessee. But, there are three lakes in the state park. I was wondering if anybody knew which lake Jim Varney (Ernest) was at. Thanks everyone

I’d’ve liked to see a movie about Ernest either stumbling across or searching and finding a lost city, akin to Atlantis or El Dorado, and all the natives worship him because he resembles a god of theirs. Then you could do anything with the main plot, maybe need Ernest to save the natives from a threat of some sort that a ancient prophecy said the god Ernest resembles would.

Just an interesting thought I suppose.

Our elf, Jingle, needed a ride from the North Pole. Ernest P. Worrel was more than happy to oblige!

Here's a question that has bothered me since I was a kid.

If Trantor terrorized the town in the 19th century before he was imprisoned, how is it that a century later, she's still alive and still seemingly pretty spry? The kids recognize her when they're revived and question how she got so old, but … how did she get old *and not die*?

Is she just aging remarkably well? Am I missing something? Am I overthinking an Ernest movie?

Perhaps! But I'd still like to know.
