- Raspy voice.
- Known for his Ernest P. Worrell character: a boufoonish redneck who ultimately redeems himself in the end
- When given the chance to have a lifelong dream fulfilled by such groups as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, several hundred terminally ill children have asked to meet Ernest. He never let them down.
- Along with Robin Williams, Varney was one of Los Angeles's Comedy Store's original alumni.
- Was very good friends with Robin Williams.
- Despite his persona as Ernest P. Worrell, he reportedly had a near genius I.Q. level. He was said to be occasionally exasperated with fans who met him and assumed he was exactly like the Worrell character he portrayed.
- Being good friends with actor Blake Clark, Clark took over the role of "Slinky Dog" in Toy Story 3 (2010), after Varney's death.
- Life's just a bus stop to somewhere infinitely better.
- [On making Ernest Scared Stupid] I loved it. As a kid, anything that gave me nightmares I had to watch.
- I started to do a study on how not to do stand-up comedy. Yeah, it's lonely work. You die, you die alone. It's you, the light, and the audience. If you win, you win big. If you lose, you lose big time.
- I like to sing. I write music. Country songs. You have to if you're in Nashville. It's part of the lease. You sign a lease that says, I will write country songs and pay my rent on time.
- I'd like to do a piece of Shakespeare. Any upcoming Shakespeare film. Just a bit to say I did a classic.
