Hey, 'member the time Ernest was in brown face?
This is the Ernest P. Worrell movie you avoided at the video store. The one that rode the 90s bandwagon of Africa FEVER. Move over Lion King, sayonara Ace Ventura 2. Ernest is here to claim the throne.

I never imagined I would become so invested in the history of Ernest movies even though I've only seen a few of them.

[@martin-gt7id]

I have never seen a single Ernest movie and have thoroughly enjoyed this series, so I feel you.

[@TheBermudaMan]

Ernest was among my top three childhood heroes, alongside Tintin and Tom Baker's Doctor.

Sad to see that Ernest does not in fact bless the rains down in Africa.

[@Alex_DC413]

I heard rumors that Ernest was a gift and a curse for Varney. He loved being a hero to kids. But despite a genius IQ, people really thought he was a dullard

[@justintahair9119]

and ppl started calling him vern and jim said i wisjh they woud get it right and jim even says ot does invade your life

[@BenSalernoMedia]

This will certainly be a viewing experience.

[@LarrivaArt]

Best line for me was Rene's "Not today" or whatever it was to the snake coming out of the basket, then grabbing it and putting it back. She was as done as we all were at that point.

[@KevinJamesVideo]

That got me too.

[@Tacom4ster]

Jim Varney last role was the Cook of the Disney animated movie Atlantis

[@HeroesLeftInMan]

I'd have loved to seen an Ernest directed Tim Burton movie in the early 90s.

[@Arrowdodger]

It'd be basically Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, probably, but Ernest style, and I mean, I could live with that.

[@joeyis6sic646]

I remember renting this one from the video store once. ONCE!

[@johnmorey720]

I sort of liked Ernest's fight with the bad guy at the end... if just because Ernest is surprisingly consistently badass in his movies.

[@Kryptnyt]

The guy who wasn't credited obviously died during that snake dump scene

[@marcopivetta7796]

other movie podcasts pale in comparison also, don't think anyone gonna take precious time out of their lives to seriously and thoroughly explore, catalogue and study the racist problems with 'ernest goes to africa'... i know, tragic.

[@DokkaChapman]

I had no idea they actually had the guts to film this in Africa! I always thought they filmed it in Australia, there were a few clues and it kinda looked more like the Outback.

[@ZyxthePest]

God, that clip at 43:25 is perfect. I miss Jim so much. It's a shame about Goes To Africa and In The Army. I think Slam Dunk was a good place to end it, but apparently, Ernest The Pirate had a lot shot, so maybe that was the series rebound that never was?

[@braydengeorg]

one of my favorite things about this episode each time i rewatch it is how casually and bluntly kevin calls out shane dawson's use of blackface when describing the racism scale. so many big youtubers cut shane dawson way too much slack for all the shit he's done, so it's kinda refreshing to hear someone in a video just call it like it is.

"The only available copy is on Amazon Prime and its probably a rip from the Beta version"... They released a movie in 1997 on Beta???

[@GuaranteedVideo]

An early cut is up on Patreon now- jus' sayin'.

[@nicholasschumacher5020]

I always thought that the "Ernest Goes to Jail" intro was a bit of a callback to "Hey Vern, It's Ernest". Also, "Ernest Goes to Africa" was the only movie from his series that I never did watch (wait, did I watch "Slam Dunk Ernest"? I want to say yes but..... maybe?) for the obvious reason that it looks like a tired swipe at African stereotypes.

[@avj_curvebreaker]

ernest goes to heel turn

[@marleycake]

Goes To Africa and Army were the only Ernest movies I haven't watched as a kid hell I didn't even know about it till the Ernest collections came out on DVD even had no idea of the commercials or anything before Camp. -- My list goes. Ernest Goes To Camp 5/5 Jail 5/5 Scared Stupid 4.5/5 Christmas 4/5 Rides Again 3/5 Goes to School 2.9/5 Slam Dunk Ernest 2.5/5 Africa 1/5

[@fruitypeebils]

was the dialogue from the "jive" scene in 'Airplane!' written by white guys? if so, im sorry but that scene is way too funny for me to consider offensive

[@GuaranteedVideo]

There's something to be said about how genuinely funny Airplane! is versus this movie, plus the way the jokes are constructed.

I actually vaguely recall hearing that it was in fact improve, but I could be wrong

[@abbiec2.089]

how were they able to make another movie after this one?

[@Ramona15967]

Most likely they were shot back to back since the last movie was also filmed in Africa but on a nature preserve in cape town south africa instead of Johannesburg, South Africa (they're both not far from each other actually so that kinda adds to the theory)

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

I think the last one was made BECAUSE of this piece of shot. They didn't want to end it on a horrible note

[@TheLokiBiz]

When you speak of a Videoscene in Kingston, do you mean Kingston, Ontario? Because I definitely remember a Videoscene location here in Kitchener, Ontario back when I was a kid and always assumed it was a small local place - Am surprised enough to find out they apparently existed throughout Ontario, let alone were any bigger than that. I have fond memories of being too young for my mom to let me rent horror movies, but being a weird, morbid child and obsessively pouring over the backs of the horror VHS boxes and imagining what these forbidden films contained lol.

"i cant believe im saying this, but theres too many ew-hew-hews in this movie."

[@mwermuthland]

This is the last Ernest film I have seen, and my least favorite of them (I don't really have a desire to see it again). When it came out, I was a really big fan of Ernest but somehow never bothered to rent it (I think my babysitter's kid rented it on a day when I was not over), by the time I finally saw it, I cared a lot less for Ernest than I did in the late-1990s (and less than I do now), so I wasn't too excited to see an Ernest movie but the opportunity came and I decided I might as well see it and complete my experience of seeing them. For some reason I didn't notice the racist stuff (maybe I thought "this is the late-1990s, of course they wouldn't put racist stuff in there"). I thought it was sad that the movie ended with Renee still refusing to be Ernest's girlfriend (and Ernest in the Army has a similar downer ending).

[@chelseathetimetraveler3888]

I love Ernest This movie sucks Let’s just pretend this movie doesn’t exist

[@TRUESEPH]

Oh boy..I had a feeling this one was gonna have some issues. 😬 Such a shame because they seemed to handle race fairly well in all the earlier movies.

[@mattigus]

Man, Ryan fucking hated this movie.

[@johnwalters4792]

Very nice legs

[@Garmork]

I'm trans and I 100% remember seeing this as a kid and seeing a guy in drag played to comedy 100% helped galvanize internalized transphobia that made me not come out for like two decades. Along with like other media of course, but yeah. I don't know if it is worth pulling the punch when this movie is already racist to say it isn't transphobic. I appreciate Neil at least calling it homophobic though.

[@87bees68]

T Dunn I agree; it definitely fits into the transphobic caricatures of the time like in Ace Ventura, Austin Powers, etc. etc. I'm transmasc so I can't speak to transmisogyny but I think Ryan was referencing more the "joke" of two men kissing, rather than the "joke" of ernest dressing in drag.

[@Garmork]

@@tomyabo5606 Imagine if there was no representation of what you were in media but the closest thing there was, was a gag in Ernest Goes to Africa, similar tropes in comedy of the era. Oh wait, you're probably represented in like 99% of all movies. My bad. You probably can't even imagine. You probably even lack the capacity. Incapable of verstehen or sympathy. Like some kind of abject online sociopath.

[@DrowningSorrows1]

This is easily the worst Ernest film, I think everyone would agree with that. I feel like the rest are watchable. Even Rides Again and Army. Jail, Scared Stupid, Camp, Christmas, Slam Dunk are my top five.

[@DiggySmash]

the thumbnail...looks bad.

[@ThirdSpectrum]

Jim Varney was heavily influenced by Birth Of A Nation when making Ernest Goes To Africa

[@illkitty]

It really baffles me how the movies started out very politically correct, to this movie making Ernest wearing brown face, encouraging stereotypes, and being sexist. I thought Slam Dunk Ernest was bad, in terms of the stereotypes, but at least they didn't make Ernest partake in that. This movie made me sad.

[@GuaranteedVideo]

The sexist joke towards the start is sorta forgivable because it's probably just under directed/weak, with the payoff being that Ernest is much more ignorant about car stuff than his customer, but yeah... the rest is such a shame.

[@illkitty]

@@GuaranteedVideo I agree with you three that it was a missed opportunity to point out that Ernest is clueless. I like to think today, it would have just been an everyday nice, savvy woman, not snobby, and she could comedically point out she knew more than Ernest ...before he totalled her car. I also think if you three had the funds, and the power to raise the dead, you could make an excellent Ernest movie.

[@maddog3902]

This is the best Ernest movie

[@someone2533]

Even as a transman I gotta admit not seeing how the crossdressing-trope for comedy was transphobic before either, but after watching the documentary Disclosure on netflix it really gave me insight in how transphobia and transmisogyny manifests in movie tropes and more. 10/10 would reccomend if you haven't seen it already!

[@mistaecco]

One more... I've never seen Ernest in the army. I really don't want to. But, I've been watching each one in prep for the roulette videos, so I guess I kinda have to... Ugh. This movie was so fucking bad. The Ernest formula works when they defy your expectations in a way where Ernest ends up the butt of the joke. Plugging a leak with your finger and having it explode in your face? Funny. Mocking African American dialects and getting knocked out? Not funny. Rinse and repeat for 90 horrible minutes. The room has never been quite as silent as it was when watching this...

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

This movie fuckin sucks. Anyone reading the comments, Im warning you. Don't watch it. I don't know if I'd call it racist; it's just completely stupid and boring.

[@kevinwalter2674]

I was going to complain about people constantly calling everything "racist"... I completely forgot about the "Indian Ernest" though... lol I think it's stupid that one of these guys rated Slam Dunk lower because "well white people must have written some of the jokes the black people said!"... stupid reasoning and SJW nonsense. But yeah... Indian-face Ernest is pretty low, ngl.
