😂😂 aww...it’s true. For me, that was the “Golden Rule”- In Church, you don’t talk during the sermon, you listen. You are not to laugh in Church, no matter how funny it is, and you can’t be sleeping during sermon (or caught sleeping, if you couldn’t help it) But after I went to United Church and was baptized there, these rules have eased up, as they were from the Baptist Church...
You could tell that he smirked at first cuz it was really funny. Yet, wouldnt be surprised as well on how many takes they took for just this scene alone.

@Doogie Carpit Burger you have any evidence or you're just spitting shit for the sake of it?
Tristan Ortiz Toot's line "I want a fried chicken dinner with gravy on the taters, and I wanna shit in your hat! Gotta have Mae West sit on my face, 'cause I'm one horny motherfucker!"
That's right! Harry Stanton is a true and brilliant actor, a genius comedian who knows how to give his reply with the appropriate tone! Absolutely brilliant, a real sense of timing for a comic!
He's not really the janitor he's a trustee, a convict who's behaved well and gets privaliges other more nasty inmates don't, being part of that rehearsal probably got a few months off his time.
Aww! Their clip was cut too soon, before the other funny bits in this scene. Namely 'This is a shocking experience!' and 'get that idiot outta the chair'. Although, this is one of the funniest movie scenes I can think of. Harry Dean Stanton is a legend,
The only bit later on in the film after this that proved less funny was the lines: "I'M FRYIN', I'M FRYIN', I'M A DONE TOM TURKEY!" The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix, it still gives a bad case of the chills of how prophetic he said it, there are moments like that that'll will stay with me for as long as I'l remember, this is saying a lot as I'm NOT reknowned to be shaken, scared or scarred or whatever in any shape or form by a lot of things, e.g, Del's last words before he walks the mile, "Don't let the Bad-un hurt Mr. Jingles". Thinking about it in terms of Villains/Monsters generally speaking, Old Paul in the book is right, in the end, the Bad-un hurts us all, DA:I - Corypheus, Mass Effect - Sovereign and Harbinger and the Reapers, Doctor Who - Daleks, Green Mile - Percy Wetmore or William "Wild Bill" Wharton, in terms of their actions and crimes, yeah, definitley enough to haunt even me and stay with me for a long, long time as long it will, for me at least.
Blackflame24 when he asked what the sponge was for, he only said to conduct electricity. Didn't mention water, and there was no water during the rehearsal
I'm pretty sure he knew it was supposed to be wet. Granted he may not have heard Brutus say "soak the sponge", he did watch Arlen Bitterbuck's actual execution from the executioner's booth, and I believe it was touched on in his own rehearsal, then he deliberately hesitated for several seconds during the actual execution before he was about to dip it into the water, before deciding to keep it dry and concealing it from the other guards. Granted, it is interesting insight and I suppose it can be analysed from several viewpoints.
Percy knew exactly what he was doing when he didn't wet the sponge. He pleaded ignorance afterwards but they knew what he had done. And all because De La Croix laughed at him!
It's "plausible deniability" at its finest. Even though he saw it in action and in rehearsal several times, nobody specifically TOLD him "you HAVE TO WET THE SPONGE". So he figured he'd just see what happened if they didn't, because he could deny knowing it. The fucking bastard.
Good ol’ Harry Dean Stanton! He just shit in someone’s hat, Mae West just sat on his face, and now he’s enjoying a fried chicken dinner with gravy on the taters! RIP
And according to the book, Jack Van Hay wasn't known for his sense of humor😅. Although, also according to the book, someone had put a sign next to the switch for Old Sparky that read"Mabel's Hair Drier"
R.I.P. Harry Dean.... Lord hes sorry for all the bad shit he done, and people he trampled on and so forth.. and he hopes they forgive him.... and he'd never do it again... THAT for sure.. lol :P
Carl Morrow And that’s exactly what Percy was planning to do to Poor Del hence why he blackmailed Paul (Hanks) into letting him take the lead spot for his execution. Sadistic Evil Bastard He was! The guy who flicks the Lever to deliver the ultimate blow (Roll on Two) (forget the guy’s name) even explains to Percy in this scene why a Soaked Sponge is Crucial for a quick successful Humane execution but of course Percy did not want Del to have a Quick Humane Death, He wanted to be “close enough to smell his nuts cook”, Nice and Slow with poor Del going through Excruciating unimaginable Pain! And he Succeeded but later paid the price! Man This Movie is a Masterpiece!
Cameron Turk My late grandpa was involved in so many executions by electric chair One of them was like del's he said 'After 20 years of being in the police force i had never heard a man scream that hysterically Afterward his face was completely unknown burned to a crisp and the bastard who would tamper with the execution will finally hang up the hat ...that was the last thing he would say to me -Carl Arnold lennon 1952-2015
