Ernest P. Worrell is a dim-witted character played by Jim Varney. He rose to fame in a series of TV commercials, which were followed by the TV series Hey Vern, It's Ernest and several films, beginning with 1987's Ernest Goes to Camp. One Ernest commercial was seen in the Muppet Babies episode "Remote Control Cornballs" as Baby Rowlf channel surfs past a channel. Apparently a fan, Rowlf asks, "Does this guy crack you up, or what?" He also appears in the Disneyland's 35th Anniversary Celebration.

    • The first Ernest commercial, filmed in 1980, advertised an appearance by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at Beech Bend Park, an amusement park located near Bowling Green, Kentucky. The format of the commercials seldom varied. The rubber-faced Ernest, almost always dressed in a denim vest and baseball cap, appeared at the door of a unseen and unheard but seemingly-unwilling neighbor named Vern. The spots were structured in a way to allow the viewer to be "Vern", as Varney looked directly in the camera whenever Vern was addressed. Ernest's seemingly pointless conversations with Vern – which were actually a soliloquy due to Vern never responding – inevitably rambled around to a favorable description of the sponsor's product, followed by his signature close, "Know whut I mean?".
