(Minor spoliers)..Who LAUGHED when Ernest got OWNED by Lyle Alzado??


I was nearly 20 when this was at the theater. I know it was geared to children, but the Ernest character always interested me.

Actually I did like the film a lot batter than "Ernest saves Christmas". It had a better plot and was just better overall. But when I saw it....I LAUGHED myself nearly sick when I saw Alzado totally dominate Jim Varney!! I am sure a lot of children were upset by that scene, but it was just hilarious the way Varney tried to hit Alzado, who just laughed maniacally, while beating the crap out of Varney!!

Of course...I WAS happy to see Lyle Alzado "get what was coming to him" at the end--along with John Vernon for conning the Chief and Ernest. Particularly the way ALzado bullied those poor people in that house before they conned the Chief.

It reminds me a lot of that bulldog in the wonderful cartoon "Bad Luck Blackie" who bullies that poor little kitten, while laughing hysterically the whole time he does so.

Well, I was one of those "kids" when first viewing this film so no I didn't find the scene funny I mean Ernest was such a nice guy and to see him get beat up was kinda heartbreaking because he's not a fighter. I must say that Lyle Alzado made for a great bully. R.I.P Jim Varney and Lyle Alzado.

"I want to talk to the PUNK.....who is responsible for the actions of this company!". That line always cracks me up.

Owned? Just curious, what does that mean?

reply

No.

Even watching it now, it's still a bit upsetting.
