Jim Varney was also a smoker. But he went to great lengths to try to avoid kids seeing him doing it.

Oh shit you mean legit smoker, I thought you meant "smoking hot" in regards to the drag lol
Well Ive definitely done worse.
The Ernest movies were an ever present at the video shop in The late 80s. They looked terrible and I never hired them. I saw one on TV in the late 90s and realised I’d completely missed out. Yes the movies were formulaic but Jim Varney was hilarious.
Some movies you watch for the formula
It’s stupid. But good stupid.
Hail Varney!
mom absolutely loved his movies, so we never missed 'em.
On a recent vacation we made a side trip on the way home to visit Jim Varney's grave in Lexington Kentucky! It was the prettiest graveyard I think I've ever seen!
That’s the importance of being Ernest
Ernest movies are the kinda cringe one can be proud to admit to loving
Ernest scared stupid is a fucking classic.
Classic Shakespearean actor turned into amazing nice guy Everyman. He was a gem. Ernest Goes To Camp is the first and only movie I have cried during.
Paper. Rock. Scissors.
Were you glad it was raining?
All he needed was a friend 😭
those were the days, back when netflix gave a month free to new accounts. even when you used a prepaid card, they tacked on the extra month.
I’m going to tell my kids the first one is Mac demarco
Is it not?
John Cena biopic would go pretty hard
Free trials? Ban evasion.
That's a pretty good Wilt Chamberlain cosplay actually
