- Ernest's various Great Escape attempts, which go about as well as one would expect. These include:
- Carving a bar of soap into a gun à la Virgil Starkwell, somehow carving a massive gun out of a bar of soap. After trying to threaten a guard, it immediately sags.
- Using an Improvised Catapult, which just shoots him directly into the ground.
- Dressing up as Auntie Nelda, which almost works, until the balls fall out.
- Ernest trying to flirt with his coworker.
- Ernest finally realizing where he is:Ernest P. Worrell: Like in real, really, really, really, really real prison? The hoose-gow, the slammer, the joint, Alcatraz, San Quentin, Sing Sing? Oh no. I'm in... I'm in... JAAAAAIIIIILLLLL!!!!!
- After Ernest is lead into the room where the electric chair is located, a sign on the door changes from "vacant" to "occupied" like the lock on the door of an airplane bathroom.
- After Ernest defeats Nash and uses his electrical powers to fly off with the bomb, what is the Warden's response? "He's getting away!"
