Ernest Goes to Jail (VHS, 1991) – Jim Varney – Touchstone Video – Cult Comedy

Ernest P. Worrell is a lovable but accident-prone bank employee whose life takes a bizarre turn when he is mistaken for a dangerous criminal who looks exactly like him. After being sent to prison in place of the ruthless criminal, Ernest finds himself caught up in a series of ridiculous situations involving corrupt guards, an electric chair, and an outrageous escape attempt. Meanwhile, the real criminal takes Ernest's place at the bank and plots a major robbery.

Starring Jim Varney in one of his most memorable roles, Ernest Goes to Jail delivers the slapstick humor, exaggerated characters, and goofy physical comedy that made the Ernest film series a favorite among fans of late-1980s and early-1990s family comedies. Directed by John Cherry, this 1990 comedy features Varney playing both Ernest and his criminal double, showcasing the character's trademark charm and comedic antics.

Released on home video in 1991, this vintage VHS is a fun addition for collectors of Ernest movies, retro family comedies, nostalgic video store favorites, and classic Touchstone Video releases.
