Ernest Roulette Episode 5 | Ernest Scared Stupid (with guest Jack Packard)

Had the weirdest Ernest Scared Stupid experience. Was my first completely empty theater experience. During Hurricane Andrew, my family was without power for two weeks. My parents got annoyed with us running around the house so they found a movie theater that was open. I just remember running up and down the aisle.

[@xalener]

in Ernest Scared Stupid Ernest is a cosmic being opposite of Stephen King's IT, where his power is fueled by love instead of fear

Jack didn't look dressed too differently than he normally does, until they give him the hat.

Spooky: Neil's entire horror album about death and capitalism and scary things Spookier: Neil's several hour long videos pretending to be an obsessive weirdo heavily analyzing McDonald's Trading Cards and being heavily invested in something weird and arbitrarily retro Spookiest: Neil's hour long podcast episodes about Ernest movies and watching them expecting something like the McDonalds videos and slowly realizing that you're completely absolutely seriously watching several people emotionally and passionately explain Ernest movies

Are you *not* obsessively into ernest?

[@midnightcthulhu5551]

"pretending"?

i can't believe i look forward to a video podcast about 4 adults discussing the Ernest movies... But i sure do! we didn't get those movies where i come from, so i never watched any of them, but this is still very entertaining to me.

I was the reverse, I LOVED Ernest growing up - would watch camp religiously and saw Christmas onward in the theaters. This one scared the crap out of me growing up.

They didn’t say they rely on the wheel to choose what movie they’ll talk about, they just said they’re an Ernest podcast with a wheel. It is exactly as advertised.

[@nalicompleteworks]

The Redneckronomicon is an idea with legs. I don't *love* Scared Stupid, mostly because it is such a kid power fantasy, but it still has a lot going for it. Eartha Kitt was magnificent in the role, even as I wonder what she was doing here in the first place, and the troll costumes are similarly punching way above Ernest's usual weight class. New Chuck being a UHF alumnus is a neat bit of trivia; Al and Varney could've done something great together if they'd ever had the chance. Another great episode, and it was fun having Jack around. I could watch you guys talk Ernest forever, and given the steadily ballooning episode lengths, that may yet be the case.

[@Tracy7468]

I'm absolutely dying from 1:11:03 because Neil's like "Ernest's sexuality is something we should talk about" and then it cuts to the fucking trivia

as someone who was born in the 90s overseas, this was the only Ernest movie I watched. we had a cable channel that keep replaying the same movies and one of those movies was Ernest Scared Stupid.

[@Chaoticmass]

I found this podcast from Jack Packard's mention of it on twitter. I love this podcast and I'm glad I found it. I forgot how much I loved the Earnest character played by Jim Varney.

[@AlmightyTwaz]

Jack definitely looks the most natural in that get-up, for better or worse.

This was the first episode I watched, mainly because of Jack, and after watching the whole series you guys have a new fan. Never thought I'd be excited to see 3 guys discuss all the Ernest movies, but here we are.

Is this replacing Wheel of the worst? Is Ryan replacing Rich Evans? Is Neil replacing God?

Fun fact. The troll costumes are reused Killer Klowns from Outerspace costumes. Also, everyone knows that Ernest Goes to Africa is the best one.

[@helpimarock66]

Of course Jack Packard of all people would fly out to Boston just to participate on an Ernest P. Worrell Podcast.

[@illkitty]

I think at the end, Ernest opening his arms to the troll, the troll jumped into his arms for the hug and liked it. Like kryptonite, love is the weakness to the trolls, and love triumphs over all evil! ...:::cough:::... totally cheesy ..., but still love it.

[@doomdimention9787]

I love how I first saw this series from Jack talking about it on Twitter, where he was then defending how good Scared Stupid is and now here he is talking about Scared Stupid. It's great.

Thank you for mentioning the high shutter speed. Something that always made this film stand out to me as a kid, and that no one ever seems to bring up.

[@TheTrout9000]

I have said "Geniuine Norwegian Miak" whenever referring to Milk for the past like, 25 years.

[@trickster721]

They forgot the best line of the movie, which is Ernest shouting "EAT MIAK AND DIE".

My first time watching this movie was as a kid in our town’s cheap theater, where they served actual food and had swiveling chairs. I think it’s the only Ernest movie I ever saw on the big screen.

[@ChiefBrodyRules]

Rewatching this because I saw Ernest Scared Stupid art on twitter. Omg I forgot how much I loved this video series.

[@pokcow01]

Stranger Things is a great continuation of the Ernest lore to a point where I can hardly imagine them as separate stories. It's a shame that Netflix holds no rights to the names and locations in the original movies, but they did a fantastic job hinting at the continuity: -The posture and physicality of the Demigorgon suggests that it is Ernest P. Worrell paying his end of the bargain he entered when he originally banished the Trolls. -A demidog is proportional to Rimshot when scaled next to the original Demigorgon, suggesting they are rimshot's unholy offspring from his time in the Upside Down. -Joyce Byers is cast to look like Ernest's daughter, Joyce Worrell, from "Ernest: Day of Retribution" -Trees are still common portals out of the Upside Down -Kids on bikes

[@fighterxaos1]

"Boston has great I've only been mugged 12 times" 12 more and you get a sticker! First time I go alone to Boston and as soon as I step foot I get someone aggressively trying to take my money. Oh, and Scared Stupid is probably the Ernest film I've seen the most growing up. I guess I've got a soft spot for it.

[@klemmteastwood]

I haven’t seen many if any people at all talk about this: the reason why the trolls are defeated in part by milk is because it’s a reference to Jim Varney’s stint in the 80s promoting Braum’s dairy farms and restaurants in the Oklahoma/Texas area.

[@scootinand]

Another awesome show and so cool to see Jack! Can we get a mini episode for Ernest Goes to Splash Mountain?

Awesome, I'll be sure to check it out.

I like to believe that somehow all these ernest movies tie together, and from Dr. Otto, Ernest still transforms between different personalities when the time calls for it.

Rest In Peace Ernest

[@nicolasgasquoine]

The kids being turned into wooden dolls still bothers the heck out of me!! It introduced me to the idea of purgatory

[@illkitty]

Seeing the water guns used with milk reminded me of Lost Boys. From what I could find, only a handful of movies had used waterguns as a tool to take out monsters at the release of this movie.

[@Arbiter099]

What a strange episode of the Wheel of the Worst, at least everyone seems to have recovered significantly from Milwaukee's alcoholism epidemic, good for you!

I am hoping by the end of this series, Ryan is just going to be the only one wearing a normal outfit.

[@TheMelloyMan]

[@bombabombom3603]

I loved Jim Varney as Ernest. He was the 90s Tyler Perry (as Madea), except he was actually enjoyable for more than 5 minutes. The movies range from cheesy to forgettable, but Ernest is what gave it the identity. It's stupid 90s kids stuff, but I loved the hell outta it. I may piss people sideways with saying this, but I like him better than Jim Carrey. I know, I'll go shoot myself for saying that, but I honestly like the child-like spontaneity Varney's acting gives off. It's innocent fun, though as an adult, I can't watch the movies (unless it's the Christmas one, I still love that film) because it'll bore the hell out of me really fast. I mean it's cool Earth Kitt was in this film, but besides oddities like that, it's a great memory to leave back of the bank. R.I.P. Jim Varney, the man died waaaaaay too soon.

[@connor48880]

I agree, mostly because Varney had way better faces than Carrey

oh man I am genuinely getting flashbacks from seeing this as a kid when the clips of the troll show up, I was actually scared by this movie. I guess the reason I never really liked it was I expected a funny movie but it also slightly terrified me so I couldn't really laugh when it was funny. Because it scared me then, it is kinda giving me heart palpitations now...
