The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #39 Slam Dunk Ernest

 The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #39 Slam Dunk Ernest

Slam Dunk Ernest

Made for TV movie that I had on my list only as a slight possibility but was able to watch it for free. I knew what I was getting into and my expectations were at least met. Wouldn't have attempted it if I was only watching 30 movies. Maybe I will do an Ernest marathon someday.

An angel played by Kareem squares off against a greedy devil man over a little boy and for some reason there are magical basket shoes given to Jim Varney's rube character Ernest P. Worrell.
Ernest misses a shot so bad when he is young that he never picks up a basketball until he becomes a janitor with a group that has it's own team. The shoes have a mind of their own and make him do ridiculous things on and off the court. There is a love interest but she would rather work with the devil man. I've never watched any other Ernest movie except Ernest Scared Stupid (which I still enjoy quite a bit), though I did enjoy the Electroman part of the trailer for Ernest Goes to Jail. Our first Cylk Cozart appearance on this list, who shows up in many things I watch, as the janitor squad's leader. The director called out Kareem for not being having a personality.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices 45.

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o
