[edit] Theme Song
Hey Vern!
Today's your lucky day,
We knew you wouldn't wanna oversleep, Vern
We only do it once a week, Vern
Me and all the other guys, Vern
We even brought you pies, Vern
It's the Ernest P. Worrel with a story and a moral
And a big chuckle hip trip double dip super supreme show, Ya know what I mean?
NO!
Hey Vern, we moved your furniture
and now were here to fire up your barbecue, Vern
We owe it all to you, Vern!
But now you gotta move, Vern!
Hey Vern! Hey Vern! Hey Vern, it's me! I'm on TV!
[edit] Recurring sketches
- Lonnie Don's School of Hollywood Sound Effects: After being introduced a man who is a famous sound effects wizard, he proceeds to demonstrate one of his sound effects from a movie. However, the effect is always the same; placing his hand over his mouth and blowing, simulating flatulence.
- Haircut: Ernest goes to the barber to get a haircut, always asking to look like a "Wall Street tycoon." Earl the barber always misunderstands him, and instead fanatically styles his hair into something that rhymes with "tycoon." (i.e., a "baboon," a "clock at high noon," "large feet in a cartoon," etc.)
- Sergeant Glory: Ernest is an aloof, fast-talking, military Sergeant teaching a class of recruits.
- My Father the Clown
- Existo the Magnificent
