Go To

1* Ernest's various GreatEscape attempts, which go about as well as one would expect. These include:
2** Carving a bar of soap into a gun à la [[Film/TakeTheMoneyAndRun Virgil Starkwell]], somehow carving a massive gun out of a bar of soap. After trying to threaten a guard, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything it immediately sags]].
3** Using an ImprovisedCatapult, which just shoots him directly into the ground.
4** [[DisguisedInDrag Dressing up as]] [[RunningGag Auntie Nelda]], which ''almost'' works, until the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_and_chain balls]] fall out.
5* Ernest trying to flirt with his coworker.
6* Ernest finally realizing where he is:
7-->'''Ernest P. Worrell:''' Like in real, really, really, really, really real prison? The hoose-gow, the slammer, the joint, Alcatraz, San Quentin, Sing Sing? [[OhCrap Oh no.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I'm in... I'm in...]] [[SkywardScream JAAAAAIIIIILLLLL!!!!!]]
8* After Ernest is lead into the room where the electric chair is located, a sign on the door [[BlackComedy changes from "vacant" to "occupied"]] like the lock on the door of an airplane bathroom.
9* After Ernest defeats Nash and uses his electrical powers to fly off with the bomb, what is the Warden's response? "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight He's getting away!]]"
