Ernest Scared Stupid remains the best of the series

Ernest Scared Stupid was filmed right up the street from where I grew up in Nashville. I used to walk up there every day and on several occasions got to meet the man himself. He was always humble and gracious and super pleased to meet us neighborhood kids.

Sometime in the late 80s they had a contest where you would rent a tape of all the Ernest commercials. You were supposed to count all the times he said “VERN!” And all the times he said “Know what I Mean?”

I was a kid with nothing better to do, so I watched the tape like 50 times and was pretty confident I had the number exactly right. I ended up winning...you guessed it...a copy of the VHS tape.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
