Plots(1)
In his latest crowd-pleasing escapade, we find lovably zany Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) struggling to make the cut on his buddies' fast-running city league team. But when the Basketball Angel (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) steps in to lend him a pair of magic shoes, Ernest goes from benchwarmer to king of the court in a thrilling game against the NBA's Charlotte Hornets! (official distributor synopsis)

Here, Ernest is too repetitive and Jim Varney is doing basically the same thing he did in the film set in the school. On one hand, he’s a goofball who messes everything up, but then suddenly he’s a great basketball player whose fame goes to his head. It's all about the pretense and the contrast between stupidity and perfection, where in the end, stupidity wins because it's beautifully simple.
