- <p> He is America's oddest pitchman: Ernest P. Worrell, a
- gawky geek affixed to a duckbill hat who has "Kno-Whut-I-Mean"ed
- his way through almost 3,000 commercials. Now bumbling
- beautician Bunny Jeanette -- who, like Ernest, is played by
- actor JIM VARNEY -- has her own TV ads. Manicuring with an
- electric grinder or dynamiting a rock-hard facial, Bunny owes
- more to Road Runner cartoons than Oscar Wilde plays. But given
- the triumph of Ernest, who doubts the importance of being Bunny?
