It occurred to me somewhere halfway through Ernest Scared Stupid that Larry T. Cable Guy perhaps owes his entire career to Jim Varney. Think out it: they are both creators of famed, broad blue-collar redneck stereotypes, both eternally working class, and both possessed of a goofy voice. Indeed, both Varney and Guy have voiced Disney-sponsored animated features: Varney was in Atlantis: The Lost Empire…
Too much of a good thing.
