RIP Jim Varney. Like the man said, without Jim Varney, there is no Ernest.

We need more character actors. Have there been any good ones since Borat?

I would argue even Baron-Cohen isn't that great. The genius of Varney (and his contemporary Jeffrey Combs) is that they can portray these consistent characters without strongly leaning into insulting stereotypes.
-
I've always seen most of Baron-Cohen's stuff as satire for people who hate subtlety and want to feel superior to others.

Oh man Jim had some offensive scenes with some of his character offshoots. The old lady being one.
