Reply to comment by Ludwigofthepotatoppl in TIL Ernest P. Worrell (Ernest Saves Christmas et al.) & Vern were originally created by advertising company Carden & Cherry to promote various local and national brands. Due to the commercials popularity, an Ernest television show and ten movies were made, knowwhatimean? by OptionalPlayer

We had an 'Ernest's Commercials' vhs tape when I was younger. Watched it a hundred times over. One was him trimming some weeds talking about a war on the big C (cancer) and cigarettes or some such. Young me had to do the yard work and stepdad smoked. He didn't like my weekly Ernest impression but eventually took over the yard work and stopped smoking.
