Before car ads went corporate… there was Ernest P. Worrell—crashing through your screen. Ernest was like the redneck Jim Carey of retro TV—loud, weird, unforgettable. He starred in a bunch of cult classic movies and ads, always breaking the fourth wall with his catchphrase, “Know what I mean, Vern?” | Jdmcarboy
