Pretty talented guy in a screwball kind of way. Too bad he didn't stick around longer. |

And his finger was off the trigger until he was ready to fire off the visual gag.

He was a funny guy.

I miss him.
That looked and sounded like real blanks, I wonder how many current actors could do that without breaking character. |

He acted in a series of firearm safety videos for kids. They're used for a hunters education course.

He pretty much ran that character into the ground. When "Ernest Goes to Camp" came out, there was much eye-rolling. It was bad.

I remember I hated him when I first saw the commercials. Then I saw Ernest Goes to Camp. A true classic!

Years ago I heard Paul Harvey talking about a review of Jim Varney playing Hamlet on the stage. The guy who wrote the review said it was the best, most haunting Hamlet he had ever seen.

I grew up watching him in the 80s/early 90s. Good clean slapstick goofball comedy. He is still missed, and my kids will be watching his shows (when I have some). |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I miss Jim Varney. In a way I miss him and in a way I don't. Since he passed away my life has been a lot calmer. It's been years since anyone has hit me with "Know what I mean, Vern" and I'm relieved. I got tired of the "Vern" jokes about two years into his run and the "Vern" jokes really bothered Dad. Dad got hit with people copying them from the first Vern & Earnest commercial until he died and he despised Jim Varney because of the commercials. It didn't take too many idiots saying Varney's catch phrase to get either my or Dad's jaws cranked into a clinch and given Dad's temper I'm very surprised he never punched somebody out over hearing it one to many times. |

His other characters were funny as well. I always found him rather entertaining, and almost always family-friendly.

I remember him doing commercials for Blake's Lotaburger when I was growing up in Albuquerque, late 80's.
