Film: Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)

This review contains examples of:

  • Actually Pretty Funny: The Critic liked this joke:
    Ernest: I’ve never been a quitter! Why... why, I have never known when to quit! Just ask my fourth-grade teacher!
    (flashback to grade school, where Ernest is writing on the blackboard)
    Teacher: He never knew when to quit.
    (young Ernest scratches the chalkboard with his nails, and is instantly slapped on the back of the head)
  • A Rare Sentence: As the Critic says, Trantor's declaration that "Not even milk can stop me now!" is an Evil Gloat you don't often hear.
  • Broken Record: "He's on the bed. He's on the bed. He's on the bed. He's on the bed. He's on the bed."
    • Later: "He's behind him. He's behind him. He's behind him. He's behind him. He's behind him. He's behind him. He's behind him."
  • Call-Back: "Rimshot will live", a variant on "Boomer will live", first used in the Independence Day review.
  • Rimshot: After Kenny is turned into a wooden doll by the troll, the Critic declares "Eh, I always thought his acting was wooden", with it cutting to Bobby doing his snare drum routine.

"Not even milk can stop me now!"
