At 3:54, was that guy on the left a priest since he was holding a bible? If he was a priest, in real life, when police officers are executing a prisoner, do they have priests in the electric chair room with the cops just to show that with the priest there, the cops have permission from God to execute another human? Since of course, killing someone is a sin as one of the ten commandments.
"Walter lives" written on the wall. I never noticed that before! Possible reference to Walter Kovacs. Also notice how Lyle has a Confederate flag AND punched a black guy...and that's AFTER he turns good!
5:37 I wanna be able to fight like that in infamouse XD...as a matter of fact Ernest P World should have been a unlockable charector you can play as (like how you could unlock the green goblin in spiderman 64) it would be so much fucking win.
Its like the future came to destroy something they knew was too good to fit in.. they thought he was a threat to the lame-ass world they would build. they thought they'd killed him, but all they did was create a god
Ernest is a legend, to us anyway, and that is IMPORTANT!!
We are grown men and woman now (I'm 27) and have children of our own, and we are the ones he made laugh as children. He is gone now but his memory doesn't have to die, too.
We can too give the same memory we all share of "Ernest P Worrel" to out children, the next generation. Ebay sales his movies in sets no more than $6.00 for 3 movies; we can afford $6 for; Jim and our kids... lets do it together!
@GallifreyFilms to me Ernest was a superhero, he gained electrico magnetic powers, he's fought criminals and even a demon! he IS a freaking superhero and more importantly, OUR hero
So it's come to this... A pointless, miserable end to a shallow, meaningless life... But it's as it should be... It's the hand I've been dealt and I have to play it as it lays. No, I'm not gonna cry cause lifes given me a curve... I'm not gonna whine because I got mash potatoes when french fries is what I really wanted... It's time for me to STEP UP TO THE PLATE! It's time for me to BELLY UP TO THE BAR! It's time for me to look fate SQUARE IN THE EYE! FLARE MY NOSTRILS! BREATHE!
@Loader2K1 Plus at the end, he got polarized in the bank that he works at. It's strange that he gets electrocuted without dying. I guess the reason why he gets electrocuted without dying is because, his body must be stronger than electricity, or electricity must like him where it's from God who is making him stronger, or because the electricity is not powerful enough to kill him.
@afriendofbean: Actually, the answer is much simpler than that: Ernest is basically a live-action cartoon character. He can get hurt, but he cannot be killed.
@Loader2K1 I actually didn't know that Ernest is a cartoon character. I did see him on different Ernest television shows but, I never saw him as a cartoon. Also, that's a good reason for him not to die from getting electrocuted as a cartoon since cartoon characters can't die.
@afriendofbean: Well, that's just one way to look at it. A Coke machine fell on Ernest in Ernest Goes to Jail, which would have killed or at least significantly injured a normal person, but Ernest rebounded from that like it was nothing. And that's why I look at Ernest as a live-action cartoon character.
@Loader2K1 Actually it was the movie "Ernest Goes To Camp" that the Coke machine fell on Ernest, not here on "Ernest Goes To Jail." But yes, a person could be killed having a Coke machine fall on them but, not Ernest if Ernest is like a cartoon on the inside. Also, I remember Ernest got squashed up in a garbage truck on "Ernest Scared Stupid" which might crush up a persons bones and kill them, but not Ernest who is like a cartoon on the inside.
@afriendofbean actually, Ernest is an immortal god. He gets electrocuted, exploded, and squashed and can never die. All hail Ernest and his pharoah, Vern.
@xolzep I didn't know that Ernest was an immortal God. Thank you. This is very nice to know. Since here the electricity couldn't kill him, I guess on "Ernest Scared Stupid", the powers from Trantor the Troll wouldn't kill him. Also, at the end of "Ernest Goes To Camp", that must have been another reason why the bullets didn't touch him when Sherman Krader tried to shoot him because of Ernest being an immortal God.
so much awesome in one small clip, one of the four only truly great ernest movies, thanks for uploading this and keeping in the heartfelt "Ernest moves people" moment at the end.
