Ernest Goes to Jail/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Felix Nash is a total bastard and an absolute monster. The fact he was on death row just helps to hit home how much of a bastard he was, as if the rest of the stuff he does isn't enough.
    • Nash is practically Ernest from an evil mirror universe. Considering how well Varney played Ernest as a light-hearted guy, his role as Nash comes off as creepy.
  • Fridge Logic: At the end of the movie, Ruben has still essentially gotten away with murder.
    • Double jeopardy only means that he can't be tried again after a legitimate "not guilty" verdict - and even if the verdict is upheld, it's likely he'll find his stay in prison greatly extended once his involvement in Nash's jailbreak comes to light.
