- Nash putting poor Rimshot in a garbage can.
- Just after Ernest mentally prepares himself for his inevitable death with a Rousing Speech, a guard comes up to his cell to take him to the execution room. Hearing this, all of Ernest's self-assurance gets obliterated (pictured to the right). No joke, no wacky one-liner, nothing. He just slumps down and starts to sob.Ernest: ALRIGHT! I'M READY! COME AND GET ME! LET'S DO IT!
Guard: C'mon, Nash. It's time.
Ernest: (Ernest begins to weep) I don't wanna die...- Then he gets literally carried down the hall to the execution room, still crying and whimpering in fear of his demise that draws ever closer. He doesn't even try to put up a fight or convince the guards he isn't Nash anymore.
- When asked if he wants a cigarette before his execution, Ernest turns down the offer, saying that cigarettes can kill you.
- Which becomes Harsher in Hindsight when you remember how Jim Varney died.
