The Halloween spooktacular rolls on as we talk about a film from our past that some have seen more than others here in this room.
Oh, of course.
It's Ernest Scared, Stupid.
I'm Andrew Juppin, Chris Cabin.
Stephen Seda.
Eric Siska.
And we hate movies.
We all go a little mad sometimes.
You know, it's Halloween.
I guess everyone's the title of one good scare.
Sometimes dead is better
Zombies have entered the building
They're at the door
They're coming in
It is time to keep your appointment
With the Wicter Man
They're coming to get you
Barbara
He's sick for fucks he's seen one too many
movies
Now sit don't you blame the movies
Movies don't create psychos
Movies make psychos
More creative.
Put the fucking motion in the back.
It's an excellent day for an exorcism.
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to We Hate Movies on the Sideshow Network.
Thank you for tuning into the program, as always, this week.
That's right.
As mentioned before that theme song that y'all love so much,
it's Ernest Scared Stupid from 1991, directed by a certain John R. Cherry, the third.
He just goes by John Cherry.
John Sherry.
In all of these Ernest movies that he directed?
Theuteur. He is.
Well, he's behind it.
It's him.
Is Ernest like the brainchild of this kind?
Kind of.
They are collaborators.
That sucks.
It's John Cherry and Jim Barney and they collaborated on Ernest.
Oh, what a...
And this other guy who sounds like a lot of fun named Coke Sam.
Did anyone see this guy?
Yeah, Coke Sam.
That guy is just like ready to go, man.
He is coming to the movie marathon in the Pleasantville, New York.
You know, man, what's Coke getting here?
I mean, how else am we going to stay up all night to host this fucking thing?
Yes, he'll be doing laps in the theater.
Now, do you think there's anyone out there?
I know we've got some young listeners.
Yes.
And looking at you, Tom.
I'm just, I'm picking random names.
Brian.
I'm sure there's a freak someone out, right?
Hey, Meg, put it down.
Whatever it is, Meg, just put it down.
Dirty Jeff, listen to we hate movies again.
Dirty Jeff, listen, life is worth living.
Wet Sam, stop what you're doing.
Wet Sam, I thought he tuned out.
No, but is there anyone out there who's maybe too young to have lived through earnest mania?
Because listen, unfortunately, there was kind of earnest mania going around.
If it wasn't a mania, it was like a mild excitement.
Yeah.
Who is an infection?
It was a rash.
I mean, he's like kind of a Larry a bit, you know, like a good correspondent would be a Larry the cable guy.
kind of like, I'm always this character.
But actually, Jim Varnie, I think is a good actor.
Like, I think he's like a fine performer.
He's a good, and as you can tell from this movie,
which is the last earnest movie to be theatrically released.
Yeah, not the last one ever made, that's for sure.
Oh, certainly. No, the video market was ripe for Ernest.
Ernest Mania in the video store.
I mean, this is like, I don't know, the sixth Ernest movie.
Something like that.
He's kind of like a Pee-Wee-Herman knockoff.
It's a Pee-B-Herman knockoff, but this guy is like in the middle of this movie,
He's, like, still making a reel.
Yeah.
Like, he's doing all these characters.
Like, he's fucking auditioning for S&L.
I got to say, I thought of a theory.
Steve thought of it, too.
I talked to him about it earlier today.
We had independent theories that connect.
Oh, shit.
Ernest P. Whirl.
Yeah.
Is the ancestor of every YouTube personality and character.
Yeah, you're totally right.
He's pre- YouTube, YouTube.
It's that talking into the camera doing a big, broad, stupid characters.
A bunch of cuts, a little costume.
changes, I'm going to wear my
weight, my makeup funny.
So he's like,
my makeup's on funny. How crazy.
So Ernest is like
the Fred of the
19th. Fred is the kid I was thinking.
Like late 1980s into the 90s.
Yeah, what is Fred?
Fred's this dude who
really, really, really unsettling
to watch this person.
Wait, is he Chris Cabin's real name?
Fred.
Chris Fred guy.
No, he films himself
like talking at high speed.
and what not.
Pretending to be like a kid.
It's like a grown man
pretending to be like
a kind of a kid.
Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah, we arrest those people, I thought.
No, it's clowns
were after this year.
No, this is, yeah.
Can we just stop and talk about that
for a quick second?
I mean, this is the fucking
spooktacular.
And horror is gripping the nation.
This is bone chilling.
I mean, we got Donald Trump
in one corner.
But in the other corner,
we got these fucking clowns
that are haunting America.
Can I vote for the clowns?
Write them in.
But no, like these clowns,
There was one in the city the other day.
This guy goes to get out of the subway.
I don't believe any of these reports, by the way.
This was reported by, like, major news outlets.
Yeah, all right.
There was a clown.
Yeah, they got papers to sell.
And the clown brandished a knife
and chased this dude up out of the subway.
You wear one rainbow wig,
and they label you a clown.
Here's the thing.
Take out a knife on the New York City subway.
Let's see what happens.
You know, how did this clown get away?
Either he's a maniac cop himself
Or he doesn't exist
Well dude you don't know I mean maybe that's it
Maybe it was an inside job
Maybe it's like a Jason Bourne clown
Like you know what I mean like he uses really creative
Like he's running on top of subways
Oh shit that's fucking terrifying
That needs to be the film
I'm taller clown
Man a clown getting decapitated
That's great
If you don't see me at the Jacob Burns Film Center
It's because I had a heart attack
On the train because it's all clown
I mean, you've got to watch it.
These are the days leading up to Halloween.
I think the cloud madness is going to reach, like, an escalated level.
I think they're going to come out in force.
It's terrifying.
Oh, yeah, you guys are.
I'm not afraid.
I didn't afraid of no clown.
So, anyway, Ernest, we start in any movie where you want to start, is in earlier, right?
It says, like, a long time ago or something.
It says Missouri long ago.
So not only is it long ago, I'm stuck in fucking Missouri for this movie.
We're a POV on a troll, so it's kind of like a Dario Argento movie like for a minute there.
It starts like the opening of troll too kind of a little bit.
We're running in the field there.
Are we burning people at the stake in that movie?
Because that's what's, they're kind of leaning towards that in this movie.
No, they're not, right?
Oh, no, they bury the troll.
They bury the, yeah.
They casino him.
He goes into a field.
and it's a bunch of his troll friends
with aluminum baseball bats
and he has to watch his brother Dominic
going first.
Oh, no! Bortech!
No!
Not my brother, you son of a bitch!
That would be awesome.
I mean, Joe Pesci...
Yeah, a bat break both of these noses would be great.
Bernice is using a bat later.
By the way, why didn't Joe Pesci ever play a troll?
That's perfect.
Oh, I think because he's above that.
Oh, I thought maybe because he plays one in real life.
Well, it's also one of those things where, like, you know,
when they pick exactly who
expect to play a troll.
So you never wanted to take it.
Yeah, I think in this case
casting some unknown
little person was the way to go.
Yes. So this troll gets led
into a trap. He gets buried
alive and there's like this
Jim Varney is playing an ancestor
of Ernest P. Worrell.
He's like a bishop. God.
And he's casted a spell. And also here's a problem.
Phineas.
Here's the thing, guys.
Phineas, Phineas, Wurl.
I have to say this.
I've seen this movie
probably 50 times.
But here's the thing,
everyone in this room is sign
and huffing a puffin because Jim
Varney had the audacity to play an
ancestor of his. Yet all
you guys like Michael J. Fox
and the whole back to the future
playing his grand, grand, grand,
grand, grand, papy.
That's stupid too.
I'm just getting it on record.
And that one doesn't even fucking make any sense
because that dude's supposed to be a McFly
so it should have been played by Crispin' fucking Glover.
Well, you're not getting that guy back in that friend.
No, no, no, no, no, no, he got burned.
So the weird thing is when you do, like, a long time ago in Missouri
and then you put African Americans in the shot,
I'm like, well, exactly when is this?
You know, like, this is kind of information I might need.
It's a parallel dimension.
But the long time ago, all right,
I thought it was weird, too,
because there's also a line in this where, you know, Phineas P. Whirl or whatever.
Thank you. Thank you.
Says that, like, the troll followed them, like, the evil followed them from Europe or something,
and they dressed like Puritans.
So I was thinking the same thing, like, what's going on here with this?
But then I checked the Wikipedia and supposedly, according to that source of intel.
Oh, the WikiLeaks came out about Ernest's scared stupid.
Jim Varney was all over those emails.
Julian Assange.
Julian Assange is a Jim Varni's pocket, okay?
I'm just saying that Julian Nassan, he's let me down.
He's let down America.
I'm going to take my shirt off on the air.
Just figure out why that's relevant.
He's a demon all right.
Got to take these vitamin supplements.
You'll make you not be a demon and make your titch look great.
Big spoonfuls of the stuff.
Catch him in bed with an earnest.
Oh, my God.
So according to that, it's like the,
the late 19th century, so supposedly there wouldn't have been,
I mean, it was still bad.
Oh, it was still quite wretched.
Yes.
So it's an interesting choice for earnest.
I agree.
This earnest movie didn't deal with the black experience in the late 19th century accurately.
Oh, Lord.
So they buried this troll alive and the thing is like, oh, you know, we can't kill it.
So I'm casting a curse.
So long as this tree remains undisturbed, et cetera, et cetera, it's going to be fine.
We cut to a little girl giving a book report on what we just saw.
Which is a great framing narrative, I thought.
Oh, yeah.
It's a strong writing.
Yeah, because then you can immediately know, oh, okay, so that was all bullshit.
The classmates, like, say as much, they're like, hey, we thought this was a history report.
She's full of fucking shit.
And the teacher who's in multiple earnest movies.
Oh, yeah.
she's the stable of actors there's
listen there's a couple of
earnest regulars in this movie there are a few
actually yeah and this
this lady's totally one of them she wears her pants
hi
in what's that the teacher
oh they're just up there oh she's physically
wearing high pants is what you're saying oh okay
some kind of slur
god what's he saying
about this woman
got enough problems everybody's got their cell phone
underneath the desk
people don't
excuse me
People don't know this at home, but we have to edit half of what Chris says out.
It's rough.
I just cut it out because I don't know if he's being fucking slurdish or not.
I don't even know what that means.
Better cut it.
I'm sorry.
So this little girl whose name escapes me, who cares, and a little boy.
I think it's Elizabeth, baby.
Elizabeth and the boy is Kenny, I believe.
Kenny, yes.
And he kind of sticks up further.
What is your girlfriend?
He's like, dude, I'm trying to get laid here.
I'm trying to get little kid laid here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Little kid laid.
That's like just holding hands.
Dude, that's what Ernest is trying to get this.
He's not trying to hold hands.
I'll tell you that much.
Find her band with an Ernest.
Oh, yeah, dude.
It's fucking horrifying.
It's insane.
Like, Ernest would be in jail if this was today.
Well, Ernest does go to jail, but it's not her dad.
Actually, I believe at this point in the earnest timeline, Ernest has already gone to jail.
He's already beaten the rap.
He's already gone to jail.
He's already gone to camp.
He has not planned his trip to Africa yet.
You know what? Wild guess here. I haven't seen it. But that's possibly the most problematic of all earnest movies. I would say so.
Now, let's talk about what would be the earnest high points. Okay. Goes to jail, right, Chris? That's probably the best earnest film.
That is, but I would actually say that goes to camp is the more popular. It is. I think more people know about goes to camp.
Well, goes to camp and saves Christmas just because it's a Christmas movie. Yeah. No, fuck saves.
Christmas. And it's a piece of shit. But
goes to camp, the problem with
that is it's a little too realistic.
Yeah. You know, it's kind of...
Not that it is, but that, like,
you're like, holy shit, he's doing this with
real kids now. What, what
these, the scared, stupid kids are fake kids?
They seem fake to me.
They all look like models from a fucking
JC Penny catalog, by the way. I'm sure
that's where they got them. They're all wearing, like,
Wrangler jeans. They didn't get them from an acting
catalog. I'll tell you that. I wasn't that.
They cut to earn
who is in a garbage truck
because he's a sanitation worker?
That's correct.
Did we mention that also the descendants
are all going to be dumber?
Oh, that's right.
The troll curses them.
Curses Phineas that all the worlds
throughout time will get dumber by the generation.
So he's supernaturally stupid?
Is that the idea?
Cut to Jim Varnie's stupid face.
You know, when he vanquishes the troll, spoiler,
he should like put glasses on
and talk like Tony Randall.
Like it all comes bad.
Some soft jazz comes on.
Yeah.
That would be great.
Ernest just becomes like a huge
ladies man.
Yeah.
Like the night professor.
Yeah. Why didn't they do that?
That would have been great.
Or it's like a phenomenon.
Then he dies.
Like he's really smart.
He's speaking Brazilian to people.
Speaking Portuguese.
Speaking Portuguese.
Oh, man.
And then babyface and Eric Clapton make a song
about Jim Varney.
That would be great.
It's called fucking Tears in the Trash Dump.
So he like nearly dies in the first scene.
He almost gets Casey Jonesed.
He's shredded.
Yeah, because he's driving a dump truck with his dog named Rimshot.
Yeah, and let's just, you know, there's a lot of calling for this dog in this movie.
And it's a lot of like, you know, the sound design in Ernest Garrett's stupid is quite rich.
A lot of layers.
So when they're yelling things like, hey, Rimshot.
It's getting overshadowed by dump truck sounds and kids screaming and trolls farting.
So most of this movie, you're just hearing the word rim job all over the place.
Just put that out there.
This is a fucking movie for kids.
Oh, boy. Oh, rim job.
Oh, hey, rim job.
Get over here.
Oh, my dog.
Rim job's dead.
Oh, Rim job's dead.
Yeah, you don't want a dead rim job.
No.
Those are the absolute worst kinds of rim jobs.
That's a waste of a Saturday night right there.
so yeah he's getting crushed inside like the dog like accidentally starts the thing he's
Casey Jonesing him uh to death and like before the problem with earnest is he lives in a kind
of Deadpool-esque world where he's talking to the camera the whole time yeah yes and like he's
he's aware of the audience I guess he's like making gags as he's near he's near death he's near
death but he's still finding time to make but that's the thing you would think in those
situations like they're expressing their
inner feelings or something like that. No,
he's performing more. He's
always on, dude. He's like the Joker.
Javani is a Joker. That would have been
pretty something. That would have been cool. He's
built for a Riddler, but
the Joker would have been cool.
Is the riddler just a little punchier?
Is that the idea? Is Ernest
fat? No, no. I mean, just because I feel
the Joker's like super skinny, right?
Oh, I don't know. I think...
I always thought Joker have to be
a little taller than Riddler.
Yeah, okay.
Wait, are we measuring Varnies now?
Do we know this height?
Does anyone know his height?
I don't know. He's been dead for years, so he's probably pretty short.
All right, let's skid A, a corner on the line.
He was young this whole time.
He died in 50 in the year 2000.
So he's like 40 years old.
He looks like, I mean, like, he was a chain smoker, which is contributed to his death.
Oh, sure.
So it's very clear, like.
Oh, well, also like in the, in, you know, all the earnest voices, it's quite clear.
Yeah, yeah.
He's near the end at this way.
I think he died like 99.
At 2000.
Oh, 2000.
He's got nine years to live.
By the time Ernest Garrett's stupid came out,
you think he'd be doing better with your time,
managing it more perfectly.
I don't think he knew.
Do you know that you have five years?
Oh, shit.
Is that it?
Oh, you call it.
Oh, Cisca Dramas.
Do not worry about Andrew Jume?
Oh, no.
You just sealed it.
What you do?
Why do you do that?
If I go out tomorrow and get hit by a fucking bus.
You're going to be fine.
I'll have to leave you.
password to my computers you can edit this
episode clear your web history
also that
the kid saves him the kid
does a Kenny does like a fucking
John Wayne an impression and I'm like
dude what are you knowing how does this kid
knows John Wayne
and he says it to like this little girl
you know talking her up a bit yeah
and she knows John Wayne
yeah it's what is going
I feel it's like this dumb fake
town well it's Missouri all these kids
like sit around watching like just
Keep I'm watching stagecoach every fucking day.
They're sitting around on a Saturday morning
watching Turner Classic movies with their dad.
Yeah, their dad puts on John Wayne movies,
and if they move, they get hit.
Right back of the head.
You watch the Duke.
You watch the Duke in this house.
Some people were raised on the Duke.
We pay attention to the Duke.
And then she's like, Dad, did you know that his real first name was Marion?
And then he gets another slap in.
Right upside the first.
face. Here, balance
my beer can on your head.
It was the 90s. It was so stupid. That was legal in the
90s. You were like, yes, you were allowed to smack anything
you wanted. So, it's when you realize, by the way, that like, Ernest
is his only friends in town are these children.
Yeah. He's hanging out with these kids 24 by 7, man.
And it's problematic. It's problematic.
24 by 7. I don't know why that's
really. Oh, I got that because two meth heads
were fighting outside my apartment.
one day and this way he is always harassing me 24 by seven which is just turned in my vernacular
I get most of my quips for methods and they're a rich supply these days so earnest is actually
working for the TV show hoarders I think is the idea like it's a last act kind of hoarder's
because earth the kit's house poor of the kit in this movie by the way well I mean why
wait why what do you what do you mean yeah why well why poor isn't this like our career
No, I mean, isn't this like the best?
I mean, why is she doing this?
Yes, that's what are you doing this?
Didn't the people for bad?
This is a great opportunity.
No, it's not.
Stop.
Stop it.
I mean, what was she ever in?
The Batman movies, the Batman show.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, 30 years prior.
Eartha Kitt should have been able to retire on Catwoman.
And it's fucking unfortunate that she's in this movie.
And I thought it was going to be a thing.
I've seen this movie before, but I didn't remember.
remember, like, beat for beat.
I haven't seen it 50 times, like, except Chris Cab.
Exactly 50 times.
Oh, let's get into that now.
Because you were, you know, throwing all that shade around.
About how some people saw it more than others.
I mean, I think me and Chris saw this a bit growing up.
We didn't grow up together.
They didn't want to apply that.
But I've seen it like, I've seen it like easily 10 times probably.
Really?
It's just, it was one of those movies that was always on.
Yeah.
And it was a curiosity.
Like, here's the thing.
How do you mean curious after the first time?
You saw it?
You're like, well, I fucking saw Ernest Garrett's stupid.
No, but what I've returned to it, I guess.
And because, like, what kept bringing you back?
Because, like, it is, it's scarier than most movies of this type.
That's correct.
It's not for children.
It's not for children.
It's an actually kind of creepy movie.
I mean, even now, I was creeped out by portions of it.
It's a hard PG.
So I think that's what I came back for.
Right.
And meanwhile, Andrew and Steve, the cool dudes.
I've never heard of Ernest before.
I'm cool.
I've seen a shit ton of earnest movies, including this one.
I've seen it multiple times, but maybe like five.
Okay.
It was a total.
It's on HBO all the time.
He didn't get hooked.
We did.
I think I checked out after jail.
I was like, you know what, man, you can have my earnest card.
because I just, I didn't care at this point.
I stopped after this.
And I might have been afraid of this movie, FYI.
I'll be also honest.
That is, I saw the picture of that troll.
I might have went to go.
It is a gross monster.
It's disgusting.
The troll's also ugly, too.
Oh, bravo.
Good job, Rimshot.
Call me Rib Job, please.
My father's rim shot.
No, I think, I checked out of this
because I've never seen slam dunk Ernest.
Ernest goes to Africa. Ernest rides again.
Wait, rides again?
He rides again. There's another one.
I think that's what he gets into the equestrian arts.
I did not see those three actually at all.
Those are all the directed...
Wait, so what is going on in rides again?
What is he doing?
I haven't seen rides again.
Oh, I thought you said you saw it.
No, I didn't say I saw it.
I stopped at this.
Oh, you stopped at this always...
Like a sane person does.
Oh, you stopped at this and watched it 50 times.
Like a sane person does.
It was like the last great movie of the...
great director.
Wow.
Shut the fuck up.
Wait, did John Sherry die too?
No, I don't.
No, John Sherry still lives, and I think
I read on the tribune.
He's trying to...
Wait, did he say 24 by
7?
No, he said 275
to get on.
No, I read on the Tribune that he's got
like an earnest memorabilia room
in his house. And he has
the trollhead from
this movie. Oh, yeah.
And he has it, like, adorning something.
I'm like, man, you just, like, in case a nightmare in your home.
That's like the insidious.
That's like the, what do you call it there?
The fucking...
Annabelle the doll.
Yes, in the movie, the Conjuring.
It's like the Conjuring room.
You got all these, like, living nightmares at your house.
I don't, I do not get that.
And I forgot about that.
When I watched Conjuring, too, like Patrick Wilson goes in there at the end.
I was like, you stupid bastards.
Burn it all.
Burn it.
Well, in real life, though, they were con artists.
So none of that shit mattered.
But this, now, what I'm interested in is this earnest room.
They got Ernest's cap at his fucking denim vest.
Oh, man, charge admission.
I'm sure he's thought about it.
Oh, I'm sure you can go there.
Oh, he could have profited off of Jim Varney's death, sure.
Look time.
Look, look, it's almost 2017.
Like, we're coming.
Listen, you got three years to plan for it.
The 20th anniversary death, the death anniversary of, the death anniversary of,
Jim Varney.
He's going to come back
to like Andy
Andy.
No,
no,
that'll make everybody
feel great.
Hey,
let's celebrate
the death
anniversary of our
beloved Jim Barney.
Well,
we're remembering him.
We've been without him
for two decades.
No,
no,
the move is,
it's his 100th
birthday,
everyone.
Or it would have been.
It would not.
Well,
that's still a long
ways off then.
Yeah.
He died at 50.
Oh, right.
So in 2020,
we still got
another fucking 30 years.
I,
a bold
prediction. No one in this room is going to see Jim Varnie's
100th birthday. I'll say that much.
No, Steve.
Really? Not his soul
to say that. According to Cisco, I'm getting hit by a
bus tomorrow. That's true.
But
the thing about this, we might,
they're going to invent space pills and
we'll be rocket cars. I would love
to be cryogenically frozen.
Oh, yeah? Just an FYI. Well, yeah, I don't know
if we can afford that. Wake up in
you know, like the 2001
situation or like alien. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, like you wake up and an alien's cut in you open?
Yeah, have a real adventure.
What the hell is this thing?
I didn't sign up for this.
One of them that choose your own adventure book, Space Dracula's.
Space Vampires.
Oh, yeah, that was my favorite one.
Hey, we're supposed to be talking about Ernest.
Yeah, he's a garbage man.
He's a garbage man.
Like hoarders, he's been ordered to clean up this Eartha Kids house because she's got a bunch of shit in front.
So he's the, what's that guy in it?
Dan, something, Paxton.
Are you, is this a person from hoarders?
Yeah.
Don't look at me.
Oh, I thought you were doing my lifeline.
No, no, no.
All right, well, he's like a hoarder.
Wait, Bill Paxton hosts hoarders?
This is a guy who's an organizer who always talks shit to people right to their face.
I know who you're talking about, but I don't know his name.
It might be packed.
He's like that guy.
So he has to go in and like the sheriff who looks like Ted Cruz and who happens to be Kenny's dad.
And the mayor who looks like, he looks like a very budget, Emmett Walsh.
a bit. Yeah, he kind of looks like
there's a Ned Beattyism there.
That's like half the country by the way.
When Ned Beatty fell out
of a car in the Superman movies, this guy did it.
He was the guy that got fucked in the ass in deliverance.
Get him in here.
Get Billy in here. He's fucking ass
double. Billy.
Billy get in here.
Rimshed.
What's ridiculous about this whole
scenario is like the mayor and the sheriff
for like, now Ernest, we told you
to clean up that old witch's house
and you got to do it because you're the
town's only garbage man?
What? Yeah, it's, I don't get it.
Ernest should have a team of garbage
men with him. Well, it's a small town.
I mean, it's clearly a fantastical
fucking world.
That is true.
Listen, I expect realism
from sanitation departments no matter what the movie.
There's nothing more important than
trash pickup. That's true. It is true.
It's true. I mean, I get overrun with garbage because this guy's
stupid and he is
unreliable because he just all he wants to just hang out
with the kids and grilled cheese sandwich.
Very unlike our good friends in waste management.
Yeah.
Oh, the mafia. We love the mafia.
We do a great job.
Pro mafia show.
So there is
a like a pervert in a
B costume later who says that
his trash hasn't been picked up for like 20
weeks or something. Wait, why is he a pervert?
I don't know. He's got a B costume on. That's kind of pervert.
Well, it is Halloween.
Okay, I guess so.
But he also has like
eyelet, like a...
It's an in-depth
fucking bee costume.
Well, maybe it's Jerry's Seinfeld.
Sure.
Oh, no.
You guys can go and believe that.
I'm going to believe reality.
No, maybe he's going as the girl
from the Blind Melon video.
It was the 90s.
That makes sense.
He's not wearing glasses.
Stop with that bullshit.
And listen, it was just a thought.
Just putting it out there.
So he goes to Earth the kids' house.
He gets scared by her because she's scary.
scary witch kind of a thing
and she's doing Eartha Kit thing
I guess so
it's a waste
it's a waste
Yeah is it
Like you're trying to
What's an Eartha Kid ever play a B
Because she's got a perfect voice
She should have been in B movies
She should be every character in B movie
I think she was
And she died in like what
2008
Oh she's dead
She's dead
She's long dead
Oh okay
Why we could do two museums
And one
Dude the Eartha Kidd
It would just be a catwoman costume.
No, she, just a catwoman costumes, correct?
I was trying to happen.
There were a couple catwoman.
Yeah, yeah.
But so she pulls a flamethrower on her and if that's something.
That is something, something quite over the top and unnecessary.
She's like, she makes like iron, like iron art.
It's really just welded garbage.
She does a lot of welding.
It's welded garbage.
He's like, can I throw...
Miss, can I throw this away?
She's like, no, I'm going to sell that on eBay.
And then, like, can I throw this away?
No, I'm going to go to a swap meet.
It's like, you're not going to do any of this, you filthy pig.
Yeah, no, she's just a hoarder, but she's making her own garbage, which is interesting.
It's not just old newspapers.
She's forging her own filth.
So there's these bullies, these fat bullies, one with the best mullet I've seen.
Oh, the Murdoch brothers.
The Murdoch brothers are really something.
The Murdochs are interesting.
So they're like the sons of the mayor.
They're like the bullies.
It's the kind of.
a family where like one of the kids
would die in a motocross accident
in summer you know you always knew
one of those families growing up
in like 20 years are going to be the family
from Nebraska
yeah
and these little
these little these kids are like bullying
poor what's his name Randy
Kenny oh pardon me
they're making like a haunted house
like Kenny and his girlfriend and this kid
who talks like Hank Hill
I think he's Danny
or Joey he might be
Joey. I think it's Joey.
You know what? These are American kids.
They make like a little tree, a little fort that's going to be scary.
And then these kids knock it down. They go to Ernest, obviously.
Like you would when you need advice.
And they're like, Ernest, what do we do here? And then Ernest starts like morphing like the genie and Aladdin into different characters.
Speaking of YouTube, by the way. This is YouTube, man. This is any of those goddamn YouTube people.
He's so, I mean, can we count it?
Podcasts all the way, am I right?
he's uh he's like a sassy old woman yeah he's a sassy less older woman he's an ottoman which looks
like a mad max yes yeah that's where the brown face yeah that's also the brown face thanks a lot
jim varney well yeah he played a lot it's fucking it's goddamn speaking of john wayne it's the
fucking conqueror dude it's true he also he also tries to pass himself off as an italian in this as well
as a Roman
Oh, right, he's playing
like a Roman centurion.
Botswana Lumberjack,
thank God he doesn't go
into any type of blackface.
What is with Ernest B.
Worrell has a beef
with the nation of Botswana
and I don't know what's going on.
He keeps laying into Botswana.
He says they defeated the Ottomans.
But then he's also
dangerously obsessed with the Ottomans.
That's true.
And these kids don't know
what the fuck he's talking about.
I don't know who would ever get
He is painfully ignorant.
I think that's what we're getting at here.
And it's just, it's wildly stupid.
To the point of danger, you are correct to have caution.
I mean, and if you're hanging out with your young friend,
the last thing you want to do is dress up like a Roman soldier.
Just don't even put that costume up.
Yeah, if you are a 40-year-old man and your best friend is 10,
and you're dressed up like a Roman centur,
and you just might be in earnest.
and exactly how are you changing with this kid
if you're doing the whole
there's a lot of stuff there
that I am really uncomfortable
even thinking about there barn
it's quite possible we're overthinking
earnest see I think we are because I think
this is just like his imagination
and in real life he just looks like a
crazy person like
because I think at one point
by the way exactly two by four
ottomins
there is one point
where the kids, like, there's, he says something like, you know, there's no time for your voices or whatever.
It's like, if I was like a 10-year-old kid and I went up to this like a 40-year-old man baby and I'm like, oh, this dude might be my friend.
He might be.
I don't know.
Jury's still out.
First of all, he's not.
But then he's, well, I'm a stupid 10-year-old kid.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure.
And then, and then like this dude starts doing voices, I slowly back out of the moment.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's the end of it.
I'm never going near this.
He's trying to be like one of your
fun cartoons.
You like the cartoons?
Yeah, you know what?
The cartoons aren't going to fucking touch me in the woods.
Well, what if they could?
We think it would look a little
something like this.
Exactly.
Cut to Ernest in a costume.
Hey, Vern, get the duct tape.

You know, my 20s.
while being a lot of fun, a lot of the time were pretty rough.
I wasn't exactly rolling a dough.
I lived at home until I was about 25,
and for most of it, I didn't have this show or you lovely people in my life.
I just kind of drifted around without direction and didn't know where to voice that.
Then I started to get my crap together one piece at a time,
and the last piece, which didn't come until my early 30s, was therapy.
And man, I wish it came along sooner.
Ever since I started sitting down as a licensed therapist,
I've had a place to voice my insecurities and try to try to,
to fashion plans to help me achieve my goals.

And with rocket money, you could lower those bills without resorting to having bean dinners every night of the week.
You know, you have those bean dinners to try to save some few bucks.
But if you were monitoring your spending with rocket money,
you didn't necessarily need to eat every bean dinner.
So find out what all the fuss is about.
You know, over 80% of people have subscriptions they forgot about,

No Vern in this movie. No Verne at all. No fisheye lenses either. That's a
big problem. What funny you should say
the woods because Ernest's big idea is
hey let's all go to the woods
and build a tree house where no one can hear
you scream or where you can just hang out with me.
Right because you need the deep deep
into this is because you need the high ground
which is how the nation of Botswana
defeated the Ottoman Empire
according to Ernest
and a hardcore history
so he builds a fort
and it's like you know
super double dare ish there's like
elevators and horse shit
It's an impressive treehouse, man.
There's car parts and other things.
The kids come over, they get hit with pizzas.
I'm like, why are you wasting food for?
They waste a lot of pizza.
That's like, I would say, at least 20 pies they go through.
Listen, show me a pack of children that are just going to let a pizza sit unscathed.
That's unbelievable.
Those kids are eating that pizza.
And what is it?
Like dog food?
There's canisters of their shit not like a rocket launchers,
spraying these fucking bullies
right in their face. You know what? Maybe the thing is
they were
not so hungry to eat the pizza
because Ernest filled them up on candy.
Oh, I see. Yeah, right.
So Ernest
runs off to, like, Earth,
it's like, oh my God, what are you doing?
He happens to build it. Wouldn't you know it on the one tree
you're not supposed to build it on?
Oh, that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing.
Why wouldn't you just, like, put a big sign,
build something around it?
It's not the early 19th century. It's not that long.
ago. Right, right. And this is
the late 20th century where apparently
this man who works for the city
thinks he can just trespass
with other children, with just
children from the town. Piper
style. With the sheriff's fucking kid,
dude, you do not want
to mess with the sheriff's kid. Get the rest,
but don't mess the sheriff's kid. Yeah,
you're playing with fire, dude. Exactly. That's
a lot of confidence there. Then you do construction.
Like, these kids
massive construction. These kids would have been
killed on the job site.
Yes. And you're not supposed to be building on someone else's land.
So he goes to talk, Eartha Kit down.
Now the troll starts to come around. Is that the idea?
Well, because he summons it.
It's so dumb. He's like, it's like a Looney Tunes thing.
He's like, legend has it that if someone says a world, someone of his last name.
He's like, sometime at this hour on this day.
It's the day before Halloween, like today.
If a warrel, like me, recites the following phrase and he does it,
then this troll is going to come back to life.
Oh, and then I got to knock three times.
Eh, and, and, and I am just grabbing my stomach because it hurts to laugh that much.
I mean, that's, I don't remember watching this as a kid, but like,
if you saw this 50 times, you have to remember some of those times watching it as a kid.
Oh, yeah.
Were you laughing?
Were you laughing at the high jinks of Ernest?
I think there's a couple laughs in there.
This definitely was not a laugh.
This was a smirk.
You're like, oh, Ernest.
I was like, just like, oh, you fool you.
I'm getting into it now.
I will say I did enjoy when he would say,
that was the thing I enjoyed.
And there's a joke coming up in this movie where in my home,
I didn't get a legitimate laugh,
but I wrote down, I could see myself laugh.
laughing at that. Like, that was the only joke. I could see that's a joke wherein I might laugh
at that. The, the, ew, and you shake your lower jaw. Yeah. It was one of those things where, I mean,
it's been however long since I've seen an earnest film. A few hours. But when that happened,
it just flooded back to me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My parents, God bless him, for not murdering me as a child,
because I remember just obsessively doing the e-e.
I remember, like, getting so pissed off because...
Your mom told you to stop doing the earnest ooze.
No, I was like, they wanted to go out to dinner,
and I forced them to take me to go see Ernest goes to jail.
We are not getting dinner.
One of the reasons of not having children, FYI, continue.
No, that's the end of the story.
Stories like that are harrowing, man.
It sounds like a nice night at the movie.
So the troll comes back from the grave.
He looks terrifying.
He's like 4 foot 8 or something and he's all like troll head and he's got like dicks on his ears.
And he's got two noses, which is gross.
And they're both running.
He's all head, first of all, which is gross.
He's taller than the troll monster should be.
I mean, you need yourself like a Kenny Baker-sized motherfucker playing this troll.
You don't have Warwick Davis money, that's for sure.
No, you certainly don't.
This is Ernestville.
You barely got Earth a kid.
You had to trick her.
It's the Batman Convention.
Yes, yes, it is.
Yeah, right this way, Ms. Kit.
We're running it this year and we're videotaping it in this old house.
Wow, so she's just a crazy bag lady in real life?
Oh, poor Earth a kid.
And Ernest is always bothering me 24 by 7.
do I get to sleep inside tonight
no she had a house
dude I have a feel like Adam West
fucking conned all of those people
you think he was a Shatner type
I think so okay I feel like that show
you know that show I don't think was revered
as much as we revered today maybe
yeah it was a low point
it was a low point in the nostalgia
they were punch lines at that point
you know what I see yeah
the nostalgia didn't kick
kick in until like the late 90s.
Oh, that shows genius.
Like, I feel like in the, especially when we get into the, you know, the 90s,
I feel like the tolerance for camp was in an all-time low.
Except for stuff like this.
Oh, well, the tolerance for earnest was sky high.
The new American camp is what we were into.
The industry had bound, bottom down.
I'll do the new American camp.
What's going on here?
Oh, he's an idiot.
I don't know.
Is he an idiot?
No.
No, no. Just an idiot.
Just an idiot. I stepped on you.
Perfect.
Yeah, that's fine. That's what she did.
So, he summons his troll.
And this is like the troll comes after Ernest.
The kids leave, I think.
And then Ernest is alone with this troll.
This was my question.
Is Jim Varney doing the voice of this troll?
No, it's just some guy.
Is it Frank Welker?
It's not. I always check these.
I'm checking these things.
Isn't that unfortunate?
My inbox to explode.
I know.
Apparently, we didn't mention Frank Wilker.
Frank Welker on the Anaconda episode.
I mean, and who...
The internet cry.
Like, I get it, guys.
But you know what?
It's not the Frank Welker minute by minute podcast.
One, correct.
We'll do that eventually.
We will do that.
A motherfuckeruckers in like 5,000 things.
So we missed a hiss.
I mean, really, really, talking about Frank Welker being in a movie is like pointing out a tree.
It's like, well, there was a tree in this movie.
Oh, you missed the tree.
Like, of course, it's ubiquitous.
There's fucking trees.
Just assume that Frank Welker is around you at all times.
He's listening right now.
So he's fighting this troll, and this is the joke that I almost consider laughing at.
The troll is scary, and he's like, oh, I sure hope you're from Keebler.
And I'm like, oh, that's like a play on.
Oh, dude, you thought the Keebler elf joke was fucking funny?
I did not think it was funny.
I thought it was constructed in such a way.
Potential for funny.
It was constructed in such a way in which I could imagine my.
laughing right now. If Dennis Miller delivered that one. Yeah. Oh, it looks like you got a
Kepler elf here, babe. Mam, Min, Min, Saddam Hussein. I don't know why he didn't just take
over for Ernest. Oh, right. Put the cap on. Oh, he could have done it. No, that's a
that, you know, Jeff Foxworthy, you could probably pick that one. Oh, dude,
reboot. Oh, shit. Oh, what was I watching the other thing? Or maybe dude,
old earnest? Like, like, uh, like the olderness strikes again or whatever that Batman comic is.
The dark night, dark night, right, returns.
Yes, yes.
The dark Vern rides again.
Exactly.
He wakes up with a mustache and then he shaves it.
Yeah.
And it's like this old weathered earnest who's just like,
he's done with the world.
He's still dumb as shit, but he's grown cynical.
You're right, Chris.
Can I ask you?
Can I ask you guys something?
Steve said Foxworthy.
Somebody said Foxworthy?
I said Foxworthy.
We were watching TV the other night.
I don't remember what this commercial was.
I don't know if it's like gold.
It's golden corral. Is it golden corral? It's got to be going, but have you seen this version, though? It's just a commercial for golden corral. And then in the corner of the screen at the end of the commercial, Jeff Foxworthy just pops up and goes, he hit. And that was it. And my wife and I turned to each other. We were like, do you just see Jeff Foxworthy on the screen? And she's like, yeah. I was like, okay, good, we're not fucking crazy. Well, that's an old provision from Homeland Security that Bush passed is that Jeff Foxworthy. You can.
watch you from the other
from the other side of your television.
Hey, what's going on here on this side?
He has to be in exactly.
If he sees, if he's looking into your TV
and then he looks up and sees that there's a TV on top
of a TV, he might just be watching it.
By contract, he has to be in 18%
of all advertisements.
It was just, it was like fucking clipy.
Like he just came out.
Do you need help with a?
obesity? You can get it here.
Golden Corral, man. Did you need assistant selecting your variety of fucking
steam tray macaroni and cheese? Exactly. Now, if Golden Corral wants us to
stop besmirching their good name, they should sponsor the chef.
How about some fucking gift certificates? No, no, no.
Ew. The money will do fine. Cold hard cash.
So the terrifying thing about this troll, aside from his appearance, is what he
does to children. Oh, this is where it makes it not NSF
K
He feeds them
Golden Corral
And they just
fucking shit themselves
To death
That's how he gets the kids
And they're dead now
The other thing
About that Jeff Foxworthy
They dropped it
It was like him
It's like
Oh it's election madness
Here at Golden Corral
Oh he's got a tuxedo on
No he's like Uncle Sam
He's like
He's like two dear
He's a Republican and a Democrat
And they're like
Oh I bet that made him
Sick to his stomach
Well that's the thing
It's two parts
It's like you can get ham
and he's like wearing a red tie.
Or you can get beef and he's wearing a blue one.
He must have hated.
They had to like digitally add that blue tie in, I bet.
I ain't taking this red tie off.
You can use a computer to fix it.
So, but this troll, um, he, uh, this is bone chilling.
The two kids, uh, the guy and the girl, like, they're having like a little kid date and
they're like, you know, he drops her off.
And then the other kid, wait, wait, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to step on you, but you just, you drummed up a memory I had from this movie where
I was fucking threw up on my couch.
You went on a kid date?
I was on a date with this little kid.
No.
Oh, shit.
No, in the movie when this little girl, and they're very like...
Wait, you're talking about it in the movie theater where this little girl was.
No, talking about...
The film?
Who watching on HBO Go, the stream of Ernest Scared Stupid.
Because the kids are basically like a spanky and Delilah, is it from Little Rascal?
Or whatever the girl's name is.
She gives him like a little peck on the cheek.
and Ernest is spying this makeout sesh from the garbage truck.
Are you serious?
And he does like a, oh, don't mind me.
I'm just watching kids kiss, Vern.
It's fucking disgusting.
Rimshot is also embarrassed, clearly, by being involved in the moment.
You know why?
Because Ernest is emboldened now.
He's like, I already been to jail.
I'd be double jeopardy.
Because I mean, Ernest is stupid.
He doesn't understand how the legal system works.
That movie Double Jeopardy didn't either.
No, that movie didn't get it right either.
Also, I don't think that movie was out yet.
Also, is Ernest Goes in jail the one where there's an earnest double that robs a bank?
A vaguely Italian criminal.
Yeah, a lot of vaguely Italian impressions.
So he separates the third kid whose name is Jimmy or something.
Oh, right.
And the troll gets him and he turns him.
into a wooden doll.
Oh, it's bone-chilling.
And also, it's like
they freeze in the doll position
of like their body.
And hilariously,
this nerdlinger fucking falls in the mud,
which is funny.
And he's like,
oh, help me,
help me anybody.
Or also Ernest?
Can someone help me?
And he gets frozen,
like reaching for help.
Ernest replies.
And he grabs onto this thing
and it turns out to be the troll.
Apparently the troll.
He can throw his voice.
He's got predator powers
because he's doing,
impressions of
people he's already encountered.
Dude, if this troll started gutting
these kids and hanging them from
trees. That would be really cool.
There should be a troll cam for sure, first and
foremost. Yeah, we need we need troll
POV more than you get. You only get
at the beginning of this movie and that's not fair.
Do you think it's like infrared maybe?
Well, you get a lot of it, but it's not like going in
for the kill. It's all like watching them from afar.
Oh, I thought that was Ernest.
It mixes. It's pretty avant-garde in that it kind of mixes perspectives.
And then little kid Bill Duke shoots up the forest.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I like that.
So Ernest drop.
They're like, oh, mom, dad, we saw this troll. It's so scary.
They're like, ah, don't be hanging out with Ernest so much.
I'd be like, no, seriously.
No, no, no.
I'm as serious.
It's a heart attack right now.
Yeah.
You were aware with Ernest?
Who else was there?
What else happened?
It's the middle of the night.
We're staying up until the morning until we've straightened this out.
We are calling the parents of all the kids.
We're all coming together.
Making sure everybody's homes safe.
And you know who my first call is going.
The sheriff of the town.
But he is the sheriff.
Hold on.
I got to call myself.
But he's chief.
Or whoever runs.
Somebody above him.
Well, the mayor's a Murdoch and that guy's a moron.
Yeah.
I think that's where you'd go up to the mayor.
It's a real O'Doyle.
situation. Here's the thing. Your kids
are being mysteriously taken
by this man. Time to get the
stateies down here. Oh, totally. But that's
the weird thing. So the next morning...
He's been to jail already, by the way.
He's an ex-con. He's a dangerous
ex-com. You should be thankful
he got that job. It's Kenny
and the girl, and they're like, do you hear
Jimmy didn't come home last night? They're like,
yeah, I know. It's really weird. What do you
think the troll did to him? The fucking
town is putting Ernest on
blast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a child,
missing it's a small town that's a big
last time pre-internet dude
and this shit used to happen mob
justice all right they
they don't have you know they don't
before the Twitter before you can report this stuff
that town is publicly executing
Ernest oh yeah they're acting like
it never happened oh yeah they
will that happens payover's town
they're gonna fucking make it a park
well it's earnest
earnest trailer was never here
they do make it abundantly clear in the
early parts of this movie that the
entire town thinks he's an incompetent knit and like yeah well it's earnest just look at it
and they're like why do okay we got a firearm or we got to figure out something because this
shit's just not working here's my question i don't know if anybody in the room will recall
uh but is earnest like in this same town in missouri all the time because are these people
able to be like oh he was in jail oh that's the but like one side could be like hey that's the guy
that was in jail but the other side could be like but
That was the guy that saved Christmas.
All right, but you're suggesting maybe he's a drifter, you know?
Right.
Going from town to town.
I actually think that might be it.
Chris, is that right?
You're our earnest historian.
I don't actually remember the, I know this is Briarsville.
Right.
But I don't know what the other settings are.
Right, right.
It should be like, you know, it should be ever present.
Like, is this Crystal Lake?
Let me know.
Exactly.
Let me know.
I think because Briarsville has seen more.
fucking horror than Crystal
Lake has. What with
Ernest? So Ernest goes to Earth the
kit and it's like, oh shit, how do I stop
this troll? She's got some fucking bullshit
magic book, right? And it's like...
By the way, she mentions that Ernest
is the seventh son of a seventh
son. Yeah, that's fucking strange.
That's some folklore
magic right there, right? Because I was under the
impression that that fucking
bullshit Jeff Bridges movie made that
thing up. Apparently
not. Apparently, there's actually a
Wikipedia entry for
7th son of a 7th son.
Is there? There is, but you've got to spell out
7th the word.
What an inconvenience
that must have been for you.
Hey man, that's a lot of thinking.
The troll, by the way,
has done another gross thing.
Oh, please.
So it takes the
after thing
of the child.
The dog product. The wooden doll.
thing. And he puts
it back. You mean bones?
The wooden doll and he puts it
into the tree. Oh, right.
His little cubby space. Right. It's like
Sleepy Hollow. Fucking like
wet green
things start sprouting out.
Yeah. These gremlins, dude.
It's very gramblings. It's really, really gross.
Hey, gramblings, get away from my good friend
Ernest.
Who's messing with my
earnest movie?
I want hot popcorn, cold soda, and a fucking air-conditioned theater to watch my earnest movies.
This is cinema.
Nacho cheese with jalapenos.
Oh, guaranteed.
He's the kind of dude who's asking for more than one fucking box of jalapinos at the movie.
Here's a quick tip.
A life hack.
If the guy in front of you at the concession stand is eight feet tall and 400 pounds, just go to the next line.
If it's longer, you're fine.
Yeah, avoid professional wrestlers
In any line, a bank?
Like, is this you going to do a way to help?
Well, now I need to open a secondary account.
Like, oh, fuck, I think the wrong line.
Fucking, come on, Hulk Hogan.
Yeah, he's got like 70 items and 10 items or less.
Uh-huh.
The coffee, it's always a latte that's not to his liking.
Send it back coffee?
Hey, brother, I asked for this to be extra hot.
The concept of extra hot coffee, by the way.
I heard this in the coffee shop.
Oh, yeah, you can get an extra hot.
That's a real concept.
Oh, yeah, extra hot coffee.
It's already hot enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I guess they're not going to drink it for an hour and a half.
Yeah.
They just want to have it.
Fucking extra hot coffee.
It's an mittens.
They just grab onto it.
The problem is with this movie,
Eartha Kitt's like, so you're the warral that's got to like stop this troll.
He's the chosen one.
And then the problem with Ernest is when you give him a
task.
Oh, I see.
Turns out he overdoes things.
He turns out he is a bungler.
Oh, he's a total bungler, dude.
He goes to a hardware store and spends like $2,000 on garbage.
Here's a question.
Where's Ernest get this money?
This 1990 money.
That's a great question.
That's true.
And he pays for it.
Like, it ain't no thing.
Like, the gag needs to be.
This hardware store owner is like, all right, Ernest, for all your troll hunting gear,
it's $2,000.
He's got to be like, oh, hey, Vern, I don't got this.
that he's just like swipe this is one of the the shop own the shopkeep is one of the actors one of the
stable of actors he's an earnest regular and and his little friend teller because it's like a pen and teller
it is something like that but they're both they're they're janitors in in in i think in in goes to jail
they've been in like everything the skinnier the smaller one the teller as you yes as you put it uh he is
one of the brothers that, like, runs security for the bank.
Okay, that's what I was thinking of.
They were a security guard, but not the other one.
Do you think these guys were all, like, hanging out at Christmas?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Just getting ripped at Varney's place, man.
Hey, you're going to Varney's for New Year's Eve?
Well, no.
Oh, Jim Barney, New Year's Eve party fucking check your wallet, man.
They were definitely calling him in, like, the last weeks, I think.
Of his life?
Yeah, I think what to see if he was going to have a New Year's Eve?
I would hope they were good friends doing my name.
Yeah, I mean, I would think that
like that's when they would come out of the woodwork
of any time. No, I think it's every year, man.
It's just going to Varney's play. I think it's a crew, man.
Coke Sam shows up or whatever that guy's name.
No, it's all waiting until he gets there.
I feel like, minus the obvious double
homicide, the life of Jim Varney
was much like the life of O.J. Simpson.
Everybody was coming. You see that documentary?
Everybody was coming to OJ's, man.
Bob Costas was there, you think?
Guaranteed. They were talking about the
Kentucky Derby all the time. If Jim
Varney was still around and he invited me to one of his
parties, I'd be tripping over myself to get there.
Oh, hell again, do you? Go to talk
to Ernest slash Slinky
from the Toy Story movies? Fuck yeah.
And a Jeb clamp at himself.
He would be the living Jim Clamp
at that point. In the Beverly Hillbillies film,
which is probably a stay tuned.
Also, probably a stay tuned, I would say.
Yeah, Toy Story, definitely.
No, I was going to say that is a movie that I've definitely seen like 50 times.
There you go.
Never saw it.
I've steered clear.
Oh, you dodged the Beverly Hillbillies movie?
Yeah, man.
Oh, shit.
You want to talk?
Dali Parton cameo.
It's also Peak Schneider.
Rob Schneider.
Oh, yes, it is.
That's a question that I had because this movie has nobody in it.
The dad looks like Ted Cruz great.
Earth a kid is the name.
Earth, the kid is the get, like, how is there no pre or post Saturday Night Livers in this?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, before David Spade hit, they got him in the comedy club.
The sheriff, the sheriff should be somebody.
Yeah, like, or maybe you get Jane Curtin in there or something.
Because I feel like they didn't give a shit.
They were like, we're not made.
Dan Whitney.
I feel like they were like, we're not making a real movie.
Yeah.
They're working within the stable.
Yep.
Yep.
And the profits go right.
to Varney, you know what I mean?
You don't want to start divvying all this
out. Hey man, you want me to keep up
these New Year's Eve parties, these Super Bowl
parties, these after Thanksgiving parties.
We're making these earnest movies
just so we can party. See, that's the thing is, I guarantee
you, no one to approach this
like it was a real movie.
It was like making a shark nato.
It's just like, yeah, right, whatever.
Yet another earnest movie.
Exactly. We never thought we'd get
this big jokes on everybody else.
We'll keep making these earnest.
movies, you keep fucking falling for it.
So Ernest makes a trap
for the troll with all this money.
The trap, by the way, it's on his
garbage truck. It's a trap that says, you know,
troll hotel, come on in here.
And it also says... Yes.
Kids in... Free kids inside.
Yeah, this is a fucking Chris Hanson
project if I've ever seen one. If I'm
looking for my kid and I'm like, where's
my kid? Oh my God, I'm going to have a heart attack.
I see this asshole driving
around in a truck that has
free kids inside.
have the heart attack.
This guy needs to be sweating it out and county
and being beaten with rubber hoses
until he gives up the goods.
Lock up Ernest P. Worrell.
Again. Why'd you let him out
the first fucking time? You had him.
Repeat offender.
They thought he was a master
criminal.
Oh, that's right.
Come on now.
I don't know. There's a bunch of troll
action, you know. There's so much like...
There's a lot of kids getting fucking turned
into statues.
There's a lot of really fucking unsettling.
There's a lot of kids getting grabbed.
A lot of kids getting grabbed in this movie.
Like grabbed off bikes, grabbed off the street.
Yeah, that's what childhood is.
Didn't you grow up?
I was getting grabbed right and left.
My least favorite scene, it's Halloween night,
and it's a little girl in her room.
And she's like, Mom, there's something under my bed.
You know, and she's like, you're too old for the shit.
This mother is a fucking garbage parent.
And by the way, three kids are missing at this point.
And she's like, whatever.
Everyone still has to get to this Halloween party at the fucking gross school.
She's pissed off.
She's pissed off.
It's canceled.
She's so pissed that this daughter doesn't want to go to this Halloween party.
Somehow the streets are not lined with police officers.
People with like orange vests with like, you know, like lanterns just calling out the names of children.
Like, come on.
Kids are actually missing in this narrative and everyone's cool as a cucumber.
Nobody knows.
Apparently nobody's found out.
Wait, so Steve's getting to the creepiest part of this movie.
So the mother's like, you get in your fucking outfit and you'll be downstairs in five fucking minutes.
And slams the door.
And this girl's like, wow, I'm an abusive household.
And this troll comes out from underneath her bed.
And what does he say?
Does he say anything?
Or is it just enough that he's there?
It's just like a girl.
No, but he gets into bed with her.
That's to catch him in bed with a gobly.
That's true.
And he turns into a wooden.
doll and ewe and scares
and creeps. It's disgusting.
See here, you're in bed with me now.
Man,
a troll.
Dude to Jimmy Durrani
slash Edward G. Robinson troll?
That would be pretty cool. Right? They're both
they're both creepy enough looking on their
own. Imagine putting those two together.
It's certainly been better than what we get
which is one more
for my
gun.
excellent impression
well he's seen it 50 fucking times
oh it's gross
it's so gross
it's so gross
the earth of kits thing is like oh
we need one it's the mother's love
or the love of a child and all this
horseshit it's like they have to have a mother's love
in the heart of a child
and a mother's care
yeah and it's not fucking idiot
and because there's
there's there's text in the book
this is M-I-blank
and then K
and they can't figure out
it's milk right
that's- Spoil alert
it's milk
spoil alert
spoiled milk alert
I'm lactose and tolerant
why would it be milk
because it's like gross
because it's a fairy tale stupid bullshit
it's like they're saying that the milk
would deter this troll
I don't understand it
double-deer horse shit in this movie
now I'll just picture someone
throwing a glass of
milk in Mark Summers' face.
That's pretty funny.
He'd freak out.
Yeah, I think he'd freak right out, dude.
I'll tell you this.
I think I would too.
Yeah.
I wake up one morning.
I just get milk thrown at me.
By a clown.
By a clown.
I'd be freaked out.
Well, he thinks because the L is covered up
that it's something called Miak,
which is what now?
And this is...
Bulgarian Miak.
I don't know.
It's like...
It's a fictional.
beverage of a syrup or something.
This is where the public
never ceases to surprise
me because it was like, hey man, we're
doing Ernest, scared, stupid, and all these
people were like, oh, you're going to fucking make
fun of Miak! Oh, it's fucking Miak time!
I say Miak all the time.
I was like, were people telling you this?
Dude, look on our social
media, it's riddled with people talking
about Miak, and I was like, are you kidding
me? It's like a throwaway game.
That's the thing. It's a weird thing.
You latch on to things.
the child that it just turns into a monster
and then you're saying
yeah it's 28 years old
in your case it was comic books
exactly
there's this one point where
Ernest actually abducts a kid in his
troll trap right
oh he two kids
two kids the Murdox it's the Murdox
and like the mayor is flipping a shit
is like my kids are missing now god damn it
there is not going to be a Halloween parade
but I'm definitely not going to call the police at all
no he's at the police station who's just
This fucking jerk, you know what I mean?
It's just this dude's houses, the police station.
So, Ernest, is like, I got the troll.
You got to see the troll.
It's in here.
Ew, it's going to be great.
Sheriff, draw your gun and fire it, whatever I open this thing on.
He also asked if he wants, if the sheriff would be okay, if he crushes that troll to death with his garbage truck compact.
Can I do that first?
And he's ready to do it.
He's ready to take these kids' lives.
And he should have.
And he does.
These kids are gross.
Fuck them.
Well, also, it would just bring his whole enterprise down.
So he opens it, and sure enough, these two kids fall out, they're dressed like trolls, and it's like...
Right, they're the Halloween masks.
They're like the kids in the Scream movie that dress up a ghost face.
Like, what the fuck?
Have some fucking respect.
Kids are missing.
Henry Winkler's yelling at him.
Buy had he.
Dude, I'll tell you what.
Henry Winkler played one frightening principal in that movie.
He did.
Principal Hymbrie.
Right, yeah.
Don't need to remember that.
I think this is finally
when like the town officials are like
you're fucking done with it
Worrell
they fucking fire him
he loses his job as a garbage man
did they kick him out of town too
that I made that up? No that should have happened
they should run him out of town
on a rail right on a rail
there should have been like a whole like a ritual
like they go to
it's Halloween night too
why not it's Halloween night
it's it's it's with the darkest
moment of the soul comes out right
so the mayor
The town square
with everybody
Yeah, the mayor should just be like,
Sheriff, I order you to open fire
on Ernest. I want to
see P. Whirl on that
pavement, pavement world.
Ernest Pavement
War. I mean, spray his
guts and blood and brains
all over that. Or how about a good
old-fashioned steak burning?
I like that. It's been decades since
this town's probably seen one.
Oh, man. Think about how funny. It's been like 30
days, first of all. Speaking about
stuff that I might laugh at, Ernest,
tied up to a stake, fire come up his
legs, and he's just like blown at it.
Hey, rim shot. Get some water.
I love it, dude.
It just turns into Carl Tejador's
Dryer's Day of Wrath.
Sure.
Old witch movie.
Check it out.
Your Halloween viewing.
It's bone chilling.
We're talking about witch mania,
burning old ladies at the steak.
Bone burning.
Well, the bones are the things
that don't burn.
Well, if you burn them long enough, they do,
that you could definitely get them down there,
like in a crematorium.
Well, I feel like in a steak burning situation,
what with which panic?
It's like, well, they're dead.
That's enough.
Oh, yeah.
What you do with those burnt bones
is you want to get out of hammer?
Oh, yeah.
Turn them into dust.
You don't want any of those Skellingtons coming after you.
Is that what they did?
I never watched that program, Salem.
No, I never did any.
That was a sexy series.
Was that a series?
Yeah.
Julia Ormond?
Is that Julio Ormond or is that the other...
Couldn't tell you.
What channel was this?
I was like A&E or some horse shit.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Oh, my lord.
Yeah, dude, we're burning witches on lifetime.
Lots changed.
So, speaking of witches, Ernest goes to get Earth a kid.
They go to the school auditorium where there's like nine people there.
For the hype that this Halloween party's been building up for itself throughout this movie.
Talk about unattended.
It's like eight kids in the costume.
contest. It's really sad.
Maybe eight. There's a lame Ninja
Turtle walk around. Oh, I didn't see
that. This older guy and a legit
Are you serious? They should be sued.
They should be.
Man, Ninja Turtle costumes
in the 90s were wretched.
Anyone here dressed as a
ninja turtle as a kid? Oh, guaranteed.
It's a bad costume. Every day
in my life. I literally
dressed as a ninja turtle last year for Halloween.
Do you have a big plastic shell?
No, it was really lazy. You get a
t-shirt that's got the turtle front
and the turtle back and then a bandana
and then I went to a bar
so wait did you not have like the really cheap one
I mean I had the cheapest one
I mean the one that was this plastic
yeah it had the plastic back and like
no no no no like there was one that was
literally just like a plastic sheet
final sheet that you put on with the design
it was just a green garbage bag
wasn't green it was like white and then the design was there
oh that's terrible yeah that's like
your mother bought you a hefty bag
dude she did it was a hefty bag that happened to have ninja turtles on it
dad now you're a ninja turtle happy Halloween it was a small zipper and no it was a
piece of shit you put a pillow on your shirt and it makes a shell bump yeah that's how
you save some money that I bother at that point dude frugal Halloween costumes I'm sorry
just don't go out effort or bust yeah I could have a pillow in his back
has cheap Halloween costumes.
We're atprisonplanet.tv.com now.
Cheap Halloween costumes.
Dot prisonplanet.org.
I might just be Alex Jones for Halloween.
You got to take your shirt off, though.
Better get eating.
You got to rent a horse, man.
Yeah, definitely.
They'd probably kill it, too.
Oh, he ate that horse.
Don't worry about it.
Malevolatility.
We ground up that horse into a penis pill
and I'll make you harder than a rock.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, a prison planet.
You know, I was disappointed in the Dunkin' Donuts franchise.
They're featured in this movie.
They're pretty prominently at one point.
They go to like the sheriff's, like the police station or something.
And it's like everything is nothing.
Like these sets are nothing.
And then it's like, Duncan Donuts.
Like there's a box of donuts, but it's like on the top of a filing cabinet in the back of the room.
And I'm like, Ernest says it in his van too.
Oh, does he?
Oh, I didn't notice that one.
But it's like nobody's putting.
Duncan Donuts
doesn't take a backseat to anything
Duncan Donuts is fucking
front and center
on a desk somewhere
just saying
it's stupid of them
See now if you sponsor
We hit movies
It'd be front and sound
Front and center
I would be talking about
Dunkin' Donuts non-stop
Oh we would run on it
So the troll
breaks up this party
And Ernest is fighting the troll
Right
At this point
The troll
Yeah see Ernest
See cha cha cha cha cha
I'm gonna get your kids
And your little dog too
The dog gets turned into a wood
doll at this point, which is actually pretty heartbreaking.
Which is the greatest tragedy.
I will admit to be, uh, being a little bit bummed out when this happened.
I was like, oh, no, rim jobs a doll.
Although first, the dog did a great job driving a truck at one point and did hit the
troll with the car going in like reverse like this car, this, excuse me, car, this dog is
doing tricks I couldn't do.
Dude.
Grade A. Tunes is the driving dog. Dude, I was like, this dog is driving for way too long.
Like, it was so accurate this driving.
Pinpoint accuracy.
Well, where is the goddamn pedals?
How is he hit them?
He's a Jack Russell Terrier.
Now, you got to explain this.
Is there a full moon which in the dog morphs into Ryan O'Neill?
He's doing all these trick driving.
And now Bruce Dern's chasing him.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Oh, you know what?
Thank God Bruce Dern never had to be in an earnest movie.
Oh, my God.
He would be great in one, though.
But times...
But it's nice to know that times were never that.
that Bruce Duren needed to sign on
to an earnest movie. Now, Ernest, you better get these cans
out of my yard. I don't want any
bullshit. Hey, Ernest, you know, I
fucking break up this recycling for a
goddamn reason, you fucking moron.
I take the time every Sunday.
What do you do for the
community?
Hey, Ernest, why don't you take a break
from mulling my lawn and come in here and smuck
some weed with me, man?
Do you know how to chill out?
Hey, Ernest, can you chill the fucking
out for a second. You're killing my eye.
You're hanging out with all these kids. You've got to hang out
with a 60-year-old man with a good supply of
weed. We'll put a
record on. Watch the King of
Marvin Gardens. Dude.
Watch his own movies.
Yeah, and that's awesome.
I would love to do that. I wish there was...
Chill out with Bruce Derns,
smoke a J, and watch his old
movies. Or any old man,
really.
That could be a radio. You want to hang? I'll get you an old
man. Please, give me an old man.
And I've got King of Marvin Garvins on Blu-ray.
So, you want to go on OK Geezer and you can find one.
Oh, man.
Shit, dude.
This is, it's the most important scene of the movie because this is like the moment of truth.
This is where the town is like, holy shit.
That fucking idiot garbage man was telling the truth.
I fucking told you that garbage man had a good head on his shoulders, man.
That garbage man's got some good ideas, man.
Tell me how to roll a godfather joint.
fucking great
holy shit
that stupid
son of a rich
can suck
that
it's not weed
but that's fine
fucking
okaygeaser
dot com
okaygeaser.com
you swipe all over
than a circle
like a crazy person
doesn't know what they're doing
I think it happens
yeah
there's a trick to that chair
the trick
Bring it to me
Oh my god
Holy macro
I think I think it's busted
Did you fucking
bring that chair?
This chair was a piece of shit
Eric can attest to it was
It was it was an IKEA chair
That's like 10 years old
It's still really funny though
It's pretty much busted
I think at this point
I just looked over
And I couldn't believe
You were still sitting on it
Okay
Oh, nice. Oh, wow. Okay. That chair lives to see another day.
Maybe with all the funds we have. Maybe we'll buy some chairs.
Yeah, a chair or two. Oh, Lord. Where were we?
So now it's like everybody believes earnest and it's like, we got to fucking get that troll.
The troll gets one last kid.
The Murdoch, cha, cha, cha. The Murdoch. He gets one of the Murdoch.
He gets one of the Murdoch boys. See? He got him back in my play.
See, I got him turn him into a little troll dog.
I'm into my doll
You're going to make them touch wood
These kids figure out the deal
That milk will destroy the trolls
And then like Jim Varney's covered in fucking ice cream
And the troll won't like eat him
Whatever the fuck the troll's gonna do
To an adult I don't get it
It awakens my least favorite trope in all movies
Jim Varney
Bukaki video simulation
Jay, I don't want any of that adult heavy cream.
One of my least favorite tropes is Awesome Kid,
who's just graded everything and it's just like fucking figures it all out.
It's high-fiving everybody.
I was like, oh, look, it's awesome, kiddie.
Save the Day, yay.
This is Kenny.
Yeah, Kenny.
Yeah, yeah.
And, I mean, like, McCulley Culligan veers that way with Kevin McAllister a little bit.
Oh, sure.
But not all the way.
He doesn't go all the way, Awesome, Kid.
No, Kevin McAllister's, like, in some peril at some point.
It's not exactly easy street.
He's put in his place a couple times.
He's a flawed character too.
Yes. He's a complex character.
Yes.
But this candy man, he figures it out.
They go and rob a convenience store.
That's kind of hilarious.
They get a super soaker filled with milk and he's like,
oh, how awesome is this?
He's on his bicycle.
I wanted to punch him.
Hey, speaking of Dennis Miller, by the way,
I think they stole that shit for fucking Bordello of Blood.
Oh, shit. Super Soaker's filled with Holy Water.
Wasn't that in that movie?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
somebody do some research about this
In the 1990s listeners
And especially younger listeners
That didn't live through it like we have
You walked on the street
In the 90s you trip over a Super Soker
Oh yeah
Of all kinds
Nerf guns ever present
Ever present
There was always the one kid in the neighborhood
Who was like a little too obsessed
With the Super Soaker situation
Like that motherfucker that had like
The backpack extension things
And it always leaked
They're all garbage
Yeah, that kid would piss all over the place
It's just plastic
Garbage
Yeah
So your parents are paying $30 for
So Ernest turns into like Ash from the Evil Dead
He's like by the way
The troll raises a bunch of troll army
There's like 12 different trolls
All little fucking little Brussels
Sprout egg shits
Yeah
Drop into the ground and become other trolls
That get like birthed
That are fully grown
These trolls like this
troll army is disgusting because they're birthed
kind of like gremlins too. And it's
like all different kinds of
little trolls. Gross faces.
They're all growth. They're all wet.
They look, some of them look like the
killer clowns from outer space because it's by the
same production team, the Chiodo brothers.
Oh, really? Yeah. Right. Thank God we
hired those guys back.
Get them back here. That's before they were run out of town.
They did this. They did killer clowns
then this. They get the fuck out of here.
Get out of movie town.
That's actually what killer
Clowns has over this movie...
Everything?
No, most things, I guess.
But Dean Wormer from Animal House is in Killer Clowns.
Get Dean Wormer in this movie, possibly reviving...
He would not put up with Ernest, that's for sure.
No, you needed the fucking authoritarian, you know, hard fist of Dean Wormerner.
Now, Ernest, you get away from those kids, God damn it?
Yeah, exactly right.
Because, see, that's the thing.
It's like, you have him in that movie that, he says it like that.
Ernest has no choice.
he has to get away from those kids.
Movies over with.
But like that sheriff, man,
he can't give an order to save his life.
Well, that's the thing that happens to the sheriff.
The sheriff gets handcuffed to his own car.
What an idiot.
One of the trolls.
He gets eaten by trolls.
Gets, eats his bullets.
And the other ones.
And he's almost getting shot in the face
at his little kid with a little superstar grass to save his life.
Actually, during this troll fucking mayhem,
that's happening.
Eric's favorite part of this movie
is there's definitely a shot of two trolls
nailing a clown to a tree
upside down.
They're crucifying him.
That is fucking bone-chilling.
Why not?
And to get back on the creepy clown thing,
they're just like teenagers
in dumb outfits.
Yeah, this is clearly because you don't have
any clown phobia.
Oh, yeah, no.
But clowns, dude, are inherently terrifying.
Yeah.
To some people.
Yeah, they're terrified.
To some people.
So it's good.
to see them get nailed up onto
the troll tree. That was a
vitriolic for some people. See here, I'm going to
nail these clowns up, yeah.
It was a little bit of catharsis.
So, a bunch of milk
kills a bunch of trolls. Ernest
is like Ash versus Evil to Dead,
like hitting these trolls with baseball
bats, which is weird. It's pretty great, but again,
this isn't a kid's movie. He's like
fucking Robert De Niroing
these trolls, just beating
them to death. And that the trolls are
ascending up the treehouse and
like it's Ernest and Tommy and then Ernest
yet again channels all these
gross characters. Which is weird
and the characters are now doing the
fighting? I don't get it and then
like at the end of it Tommy
or Kenny is like you're a great
bunch of guys Ernest and it's like
what the fuck just happened? It's
Halloween so I guess it's like
that's the part I was talking about.
You know it's Halloween. Everybody's entitled
to one broad joke.
That goes for our show
On the 21st
Yeah
And I don't know
So like they sort of
They defeat everybody
Then like
What's his name?
Jimmy Tommy
Kenny
He's turned into a doll
Because the troll turns into a super
The main troll turns into a super troll
It's a super shredder situation
And fucking hello
You hoo somebody saw Ninja Turtles too
The year before
His ears grow
Which is weird
He grows tentacles.
They're genuine tentacles.
I thought it was going to be horns.
And I'm like, oh, my God, this is a horny troll.
Yeah, see, I'm horny.
I don't understand how anybody was like, yeah, this is exactly the age group that can take this wiggling, fucking disgusting, wet troll thing.
All right?
So you're going to glue all these dildos to this troll mask, right?
And just hit it.
So it wobbles.
See, I'm growing cocks now.
Yeah.
Jimmy the rant here.
It's very much like the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the troll.
in the thing, like the tentacles
Yeah, it's disgusting.
It's really gross. Or like when
Bealju shows his other
face and you can't see it. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Probably a lot of dicks
on the front of that too. Yes, I would have thought so.
And he says that milk no longer
affects him because sure, why not?
What the hell? You know what? I don't know.
I don't know troll lore. Yeah, this is
when Ernest is testing the audience's
patience because it's like, you know what, guys?
I thought we knew how to fix the trolls.
Let's not figure anything else.
This is a super long 92 minutes.
And so Ernest...
I was just going to say, folks,
that the secret to destroying the Supertrol
is to make out with it.
Kissing goblins.
Yes. It turns out. It works.
Make it out with a goblin.
Because, yeah, Ernest is like...
Are the kids like, oh, they unconditional love?
And he's like, oh, I guess that means
I got a tongue kiss this thing.
It's disgusting.
I guess that means I have to like
sound of music twirl with the troll.
Well, he's also, he's hugging goblins,
dancing with goblins, kissing goblins.
But there's this funny part where, like,
it's before it, he's like,
unconditional love.
And then he looks around and everyone was like,
kill that troll.
Yeah.
And I'm like, as if that's like the wrong response, I guess.
Yeah, it's like a cut from Braveheart, by the way.
It's like, through the fires.
Do it.
No, Steve's right.
Fuck that.
This thing should be decadent.
You want to know how to kill troll fucking Decaptain?
Why don't try that?
Bludging it to death, I would.
A saw to its neck?
Just like they did to William Wallace.
Yeah.
Drawn quarter it.
Send that head to the queen.
Totally.
The queen's getting a lot of mail these days.
Including trollhead.
Oh, another troll head.
Fabulous.
She was the first person to ever get mail.
Probably, right?
Probably correct.
I'm not a peasant sending mail
another peasant. That's fair. Oh, that's
true. Yeah. There's peasants
mailing the queen saying
hey, help us stop being peasants.
Well, no one delivers
those messages, but
the important ones, I assume, the
military takes care of. Yeah.
So this troll gets
kissed on the lips
and then dies.
And it's, when Jim Varney's got like
boogers on his lips, it's disgusting.
It's so gross.
And when this troll dies by the
It turns into a bunch of cartoon ghosts
And then those cartoon ghosts dissipate
And right before it goes off screen
You have yourself a high-pitched fart noise
Because that's what you want
To end this terror
It's a nice little squeaker
That's a little ADR like
How do we make the scene more dramatic
She has little ghosts
See got some unfinished business
Don't we get like a rain of chunks as well?
Does it explode?
No, I don't think so.
Just in my living room I thought
Because I was puking
Why you were vomiting
Eric's disgusting rain of chunks
So all these kids
Come back and including like these kids
From the Dust Bowl
Dude it's crazy
Because Eartha Kit
Throughout this movie
She's been carrying these other wooden dolls of kids
And you're like
Where'd you get those from garage sale
And she's like
All these kids
Yeah they're dressed like
They're in a fucking John Updike novel
like run out and they're just like
oh hey earth a kid
and she's like oh this is my brother
and sister and they're like how did you
get so old and she's like I have so
much to tell you and you're like
ew
so I guess she's like immortal or something
a little bit well
I don't think that these are kids
from the same era
as the beginning of the movie
you think Ernest's father unleashed the troll
at one point I think there's
an untold piece of world
family history. Oh, man,
that's what they need to do.
It's like, that's how you reboot it, you know?
Yeah. It's like you're doing it, you're doing a story.
You can, you know, maybe make it another
timeline like the Star Trek
movies. You know, there's a property
that needs to be rebooted. It's Ernest, scared,
stupid. I'm actually surprised that nobody's
tried to, like,
Ashton Quitcher could do. Oh, yeah, he'd be great at it.
And now you get the, this troll
with all the little ghosts, the
unfinished business, he finds a wormhole.
goes back in time, and then he confronts Ernest's father.
Uh-huh.
And that's how Eartha Kitt's siblings get taken.
And that closes the loop, you know?
Oh, that's good.
Let me answer those questions.
There's Christopher Nolan's.
Yes.
You do great at an earnest movie, you know?
That's another instance of you just fold that piece of paper and stick a pencil through it.
Exactly.
Fix the fucking earnest timeline.
My Ernest movie will work like a clock.
it's a fine well-oiled machine
and make that fart noise a little squeakier
yes that's correct
no he's actually
he's going out recording actual farts
oh yeah that's that's good that's what it is
yeah I don't know
Eartha kid just adopts these four dust bowl kids
and Ernest has saved the day
and that's pretty much
well actually the most
the heartbreaking thing is Ernest thinks
that Rimshot is dead
oh that's a tough scene
because all the kids come back
And Ernest is, like, crying, and Earth the kids, like, what's wrong, Batman?
And he's like, Rimshot didn't come back.
No, the worst thing is, there's nothing in that tree for me.
Oh, that's what it is.
Oh, God.
Because no little kid came out of it.
That's a good point, because he knows damn well he put that fucking dog doll in the car
because it is on the dashboard of his truck.
And then the dog comes out, like, I'm fine.
The movie can end.
But, like, Ernest is, like, crying.
Like, Jim Farney's got fucking teeth.
He got there, man.
Well, it's really, it's something pretty questionable, I think, when he takes Rimjob and he,
and he's like, Rimjobs licking his face and they dip out of camera and Eartha Kit is just stuck there.
Yep.
And she like looks down and then looks at the camera like, that's pretty not good.
I mean, that's, the note I made is she is thinking, yeah, he's,
doing stuff to that dog, but what
are you going to do? Credits
Role. Don't we owe him this?
Why hasn't anyone
called cut?
Exactly. That's her looking at
Don Cherry, like, please cut. Please cut
away from this. Wrap this up.
It's John Cherry. Oh, John Cherry.
Who's Don Cherry? Who's
that? Oh, he's probably directed pornography.
Jazz musician.
Don Cherry? I do believe so, yes.
Does he live in your building? No.
He's an old man
your schmucking weed with
Hey Chris, want to come over and watch more
Ernest movies with me?
Fuck, that sounds good.
That sounds so awesome.
That sounds so awesome. That sounds good.
Would anybody recommend
Ernest Scared Stupid?
No, no.
No, no, no. Right?
Well, Chris Kavan would.
I have to.
Wow, okay.
I gave so much, so much of my time to this
stupid piece of shit.
You're obligated.
you did 51 times now probably yeah i actually have loved because i watch it twice uh so
wait wait for this you watch for this i watch it think about all the sand and the hourglass
it does it does make you think about it and it is it's a terrifying picture um so for that i say
absolutely don't but just from experience i have to say yes sure okay um shit how do you follow that
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll get off of my, my soapbox.
No, I'm debating now. Like, I feel like it's a no, but with a maybe.
With a loose maybe, yeah. Yeah, you know, if you're, if you're listening and you're, you happen to be a 12 year old, and I know they're out there, which is abhorrent.
But yeah, maybe this is for you.
I just, I can't. I can't. I can't in good conscience. Tell someone to watch a fucking earnest movie.
I just can't do it.
Not even the good one.
Yeah, you know, that's a good point.
Goes to jail.
There you go.
I rated this movie one star on letterboxed, and somebody was like, I can't believe one star for this Halloween classic.
And I was like, this is the internet.
So I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but it's a good chance you're not.
I'm absolutely certain they aren't.
That's a real problem.
That's a real problem.
I will, I watch this movie 50 times and I know for a fact, it's a piece of shit.
Chris Cabin.
And nobody should have any.
nostalgia for this. What is a better film? This or
Spaced Invaders? Oh, that's a very, that's a spiritual
cousin. I actually prefer spaced invaders. I think I do too. I don't know
what you're talking about. That's a stay tuned. You got to see that movie. It's about
aliens that come to a small shooting town like this. Kind of
dresses up like Tom Cruise and Top Gun. Yeah, and he talks like Jack
Nicholson. Yeah, it's really bad. Oh, they're like funny little alien.
They're trying to get like a Ninja Turtle type of thing going. Oh, really?
you've got to see this movie.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I don't think anyone's in it.
I don't know.
Somebody's playing the father, but I forget.
But this is actually worth, it's like Ernest.
Bruce Dern is in it.
Done well.
Did the makeup team from killer clowns from outer space do the aliens?
Honestly, the aliens look pretty good.
Yeah.
They're little green men.
As your standard alien.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Bigger heads.
Yeah.
Sort of like little green men mixed with.
the ID4
