| Slam Dunk Ernest | comment |
Slam Dunk Ernest is the seventh Ernest P. Worrell film. In this one, Ernest is part of a custodian team called the Clean Sweeps. The rest of them play on a local basketball team, and Ernest wants to play on the team, but they won't let him due to his clumsiness. When Ernest saves them from getting fired, they reluctantly let him be part of the team. The Archangel of Basketball (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) shows up to give Ernest a magical pair of shoes that make him a much better basketball player. | |

Creator Cameo | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: John Cherry, director of most of the Ernest films, has a cameo as a member of the audience who asks for a hot dog. This is his first of three on-screen roles in the Ernest films. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The owner of the shoe store tempts a number of people much like the devil would, and at times he is surrounded by red lighting. After Quincy returns the shoes he stole, he talks with The Archangel, implying that he is indeed Satan, if not a devil. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Many of the teams The Clean Sweeps play against have names used in other Ernest movies. These include Kik-a-Kee Smoked Fish, Mighty Workboys, Apple Maggot Insecticide, and a number of references to Ernest Scared Stupid, including Tulip Brothers Hardware, Hackmore Antiques, and Trantor Dairy. Ernest sings the opening theme song from Dr Otto And The Riddle Of The Gloom Beam at one point. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first, Erma seems like a nice girl, but after getting a winning lottery ticket, her looks are transformed and she becomes a more tempting and gold digging snob. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Discussed. When Ernest first meets The Archangel of Basketball and hears who he is, Ernest thinks he's there to take him to the afterlife over the one technical fowl he caused. | |

Heel Realization | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: During halftime in the final game, Ernest finds that the other players resent Ernest for doing all the playing and don't consider him a team player, and further feels bad when Barry's son Quincy tells Ernest he's the best player in the world (even better than his father). This leads to Ernest deciding to pass the ball to the other players, who just pass it back to him, then he gets himself injured so he can't play, and then throws his shoes in the trash can. | |

Informed Flaw | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: When the other custodians point out why Ernest can't play on a basketball team, one of them says that he is short like Yoda. Ernest has a more average height. | |

Artistic License – Sports | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_e462893a | comment |
Artistic License – Sports: In basketball, it is against regulations to wear headgear, but Ernest wears his hat in the game (at one point it's made clear that he can not take off his hat), while another player wears a bandana while playing. Might be justified in that this is a city league as opposed to the national league. | |

Down to the Last Play | |
| Slam Dunk Ernest / int_e4d98039 | comment |
Down to the Last Play: Happens in both games where Ernest does not use his shoes. During the first game, Ernest's clumsiness leads to a technical fowl when his team is one ahead with just ten seconds left, leading to the other team getting two free throws (which the team makes). For the final game, after Ernest throws away his shoes, he's put into the game for the final shot, this time they are one point behind. This time Ernest makes the shot. | |
