    This movie was part of my teen years and Jim Varney was part of my childhood. He's a legendary character actor and I appreciate you Adam

    It always amazes me how some locations are unrecognizable while others look identical from many many years ago. Fantastic job guys what a great start to a Sunday Morning.

    Love all the videos that you guys collaberate together. Jim Varney's Cousin John spoke at my first wife's Funeral, his daughter was my wife's best friend growing up.

    Hey Adam! The actress who played Harmony ( Noelle Parker) just had spinal surgery and recovery is long. Her friends set up a gofundme, I saw on her Instagram. Great video!

    That was so fun! The train station is fantastic. Those wooden benches are just gorgeous.

    FINALLY...you are doing a movie I have seen and well familiar with! We watched it every Christmas Eve for several years in a row at my mom's house! My mom and wife didn't appreciate it, but my brother and I and the kids did! Thanks for the video!

    Great to see you and Micah together again. The research both of you do just blows me away. Another great filming locations video. Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this.

      It's amazing to see someone else named Micah. My BFF named her oldest Micah & up until this year I had not met anyone else named that.

    I’m so happy for you and Micah’s Ernest videos. I rode my bike around downtown Orlando and saw the Ernest house before they tore it down. Classic movie! ❤️🎥

    I've never seen a single Ernest film--only exposed to the funny tv commercials growing up, but when I was a kid I dont know why I always thought he reminded me a little bit of Ernest T Bass from the Andy Griffith show, as they both wear vests and had larger than life personalities ? Just me? Haha, who knows. I'll have to marathon these films sometime, in order, and then come back and rewatch all this with new eyes. :) I do respect the passion for details here today,. Nerds rule all, I'm here for it. 😁✌️💚

    • @TheDailyWoo
      @TheDailyWoo  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes he choose the name after Ernest t bass

    I discovered Ernest while I was living in Seattle as a young Aussie teenager. He never really found the fame here as he did there. So Ernest movies hold a special place in my heart. To me he’s become my teenage connection to my time in the USA. When I watched the babysitters club (my favourite book series) and seeing him playing maryanne’s dad my teenage heart was so happy!!

  • @mandysimmons2769
    @mandysimmons2769 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I loved Jim Varney. I loved his singing. He sang with Country music God Father Vern Gosdin which was funny because of the "hey Vern" thing. I was not an Ernest fan in general ( I was not a ten year old boy at the time lol ) but the one he did in Africa was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I used to show it to my Mother in Law and we'd laugh and laugh. His performance as a Harem dancing girl is still so funny to me. I put that on ( it was hard to find the dvd of it ) and just laugh like a rabid donkey. Oh, just saw some dear

    Awesome seeing you both do this.
    Fun fact: Shakespeare Theater used to be originally the Orlando Science Center. And the dome or dish roof was the planetarium.
    Anyways--- great stuff !!! Keep up your awesome work

    Thanks for showing the filming locations for this Christmas classic. We watch this Christmas classic each year. There’s a store in Gatlinburg called Santa’s Claus-et that has 2 elves with sunglasses that remind me of the elves from Ernest Saves Christmas every time we visit. We really enjoyed your vlog.

    Jim Varney's Saturday morning TV show came on at like 6:00 AM back in 1988. "Hey Vern It's Ernest" was the name of the show, just before Pee Wee's Playhouse. It was great, when I managed to wake up early enough.

  • @mustangcindy1303
    @mustangcindy1303 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It’s been a while since I saw that movie. I should watch it again. In fact I’ll watch it right now. Was trying to decide what to watch tonight and you just helped me. My dad introduced me to those Ernest movies when I was young. He always liked those kinda goofy movies. ~~ You always do a really good job with filming locations.~~ I just had to mention too (even though it’s really not a big deal) that the bird at the beginning of your video was a swan not a goose.

    I enjoy seeing your videos that you do with Micah and Tim because you’re watching each video from a different perspective. Seeing the exact same shots but from each of your takes is interesting.

    @rrelectric5159 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice one. My favorite scene was when Ernest tries to fix the wiring in Verne's house and ends up tearing it out of the wall. I think the "Air Brakes" line is from an old Buggs Bunny cartoon.

    @RetroR3action ปีที่แล้ว

    The tree you guys were looking for across the street from Earnests house was a live oak (like most downtown) and it was blown over in a wind storm after a lot of rain, roots and all.
    I use to live right there for 4 years when I first moved to Orlando and didn't know any of this. I've walked all over the places you guys are SMALL world. The lawyer from you first stop actually also did notary services when I lived there, I walked there to have some stuff stamped when I bought my first place off Holden and Orange. I've since left again because why not. (I'd prefer to have stayed) but I'll definitely be retracing all my previous walks and now your steps to take the tour myself when I come back to visit again.
    Can't believe out of ALL the "cool stuff" I showed family and friends that came down from Detroit over the years earnest was living right there with me the whole time and I didn't even know. (btw "Earnest Goes to camp" was my first movie of Jim's but they were all favorites.)
    Thank you so much for all of this
