Revision as of 16:22, 9 January 2014

A 1988 film starring Jim Varney as his signature character, Ernest P Worrell. In it, Ernest has to save Christmas by helping Santa Claus, who has been incarcerated after trying to track down a man who has been chosen to be the next Santa. It's up to Ernest to get Santa out of jail and get a hold of Joe, the man chosen to be the next Santa.

Tropes present:

An Asskicking Christmas: Joe is being forced to star in a movie that is essentially this, but it goes against his morals.
Facecam: Just like in the Ernest P. Worrell commercials, the movie includes a brief scene from Vern's POV.
How Can Santa Deliver All Those Toys?: Ernest gives an answer that's just plain Techno Babble.
Hyperspace Wardrobe: As with every Ernest movie.
Overly Long Gag: "M." "V." "M." "V." "M." "V." "M." "V."
- "Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree...oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree."
The Runaway: Harmony, a teenage girl Ernest picks up while driving his taxi and who tags along for most of the movie.
Santa Claus
Saving Christmas: See above.
