History Funny / TheShawshankRedemption

-->'''Norton:''' Lord, it's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind! Nothing left but damn rocks on the windowsill. And that cupcake on the wall. Let's ask her. Maybe she knows. What say there, fuzzy britches? Feel like talking? Aw, guess not. Why should she be any different? This is a conspiracy. That's what this is. One. Big! DAMN! '''CONSPIRACY'''! '''''AND EVERYONE'S IN ON IT!!''''' Including [[Creator/RitaHayworth HER!]]

-> "What the Christ is this happy horseshit?"

*** Not Rita. By 1966, it was lovely [[OneMillionYearsBC Raquel]].

** Um.... ouch.

** While "Fat Ass" breaks down and starts [[IWantMyMommy starts crying for his mother]], one of the veteran inmates calls out "[[MoodWhiplash I've had your mother, she wasn't that great!]]"

** The library includes [[BrickJoke a decently-sized collection of]] Music/Hank Williams [[BrickJoke music]], which Heywood is shown happily singing along to. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Much to the annoyance of another prisoner.]]

* Poor Heywood.

** Becomes HilariousInHindsight, as part of the prison break in the Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo involves a hidden tunnel, like the one Andy would eventually make. He took Red's suggestion to heart.

* Andy offering to help Hadley avoid paying taxes on his inheritance is HilariousInHindsight when you realize that Clancy Brown also played [[WesternAnimation SpongeBobSquarepants Mr. Krabs]], who was famously stingy with his money.

* [[ButtMonkey Poor Heywood.]]
** Red suggests getting Andy a gift, and his friends agree. Remembering that Andy had been planning to make his own chess set, he says, "[[BadassBookworm Guy likes to play chess.]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext Let's get him some rocks.]]" Heywood nods agreeingly...but then the phrase sinks in and he looks puzzled, turning to Red like a lost puppy.

'''Red''': A [[RoadApples horse apple]].\\

'''Andy''': ''[[Creator/AlexandreDumas Dumas]]''. You know what it's about? You'll like it. It's about [[ShoutOut a prison break]].\\

* The day the prison receives a shipment of books, they come with a letter for Andy, who's been sending letters to libraries asking for funding. It closes with, "We now consider the matter closed; please stop sending us letters!" [[{{Determinator}} Not only does he not listen,]] he decides to start sending them ''[[UpToEleven two]]'' [[UpToEleven letters a week from then on.]]
** The end result: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Andy wins and the library gets expanded.]]
* "On the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook I had to come to prison to be a crook.]]" Red's reaction is great.

-->'''Tommy:''' So I'm backin' out the door, right? Had the TV like this... ''[Mimes his grip]'' Big ol' thing. Couldn't see shit. Suddenly, there's this voice: "Freeze, kid! Hands in the air!" Well, I just stand there holdin' on to that TV, so the voice says, "You hear what I said, boy?" And I say, [[MortonsFork "Yes, sir; I sure did; but if I drop this fuckin' thing, you got me on 'Destruction of Property,' too!"]]

** Um.... [[HarsherInHindsight ouch.]]

--->'''Red:''' I like to think the last thing that went through his head-- other than that bullet-- was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
* Norton's VillainousBreakdown after discovering [[spoiler: Andy's escape.]] What makes it so great is when he [[spoiler: starts throwing rocks around]] Hadley and Red, the sadistic prison guard and the old prisoner, [[ATruceWhileWeGawk have the exact same expression of befuddlement]] at both the situation and Norton's behavior.
* Andy's first conversation with Red brings up the RunningGag of the in-mates saying they weren't guilty and were only incarcerated because their lawyers screwed them over. When Tommy joins the crew, Andy remembers exactly what Heywood said as a response: "Me? A lawyer fucked me." The look on Heywood's face is an expression that can't really be described with certainty.

* [[SarcasmMode Poor]] [[ButtMonkey Heywood.]]

** And while we're on the subject of BlackComedy...
--->'''Red:''' I like to think the last thing that went through [the Warden's] head-- other than that bullet-- was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
