Sam Bee's Show Trolls Sean Spicer With 'Shawshank Redemption' Goodbye

"Sean Spicer crawled to freedom through five hundred yards..."
|

Samantha Bee’s “Full Frontal” show has likened Sean Spicer’s escape from the Trump administration to a scene from “The Shawshank Redemption .”

After the news broke on Friday that Spicer had quit as White House press secretary , Bee’s team tweeted this gif of the movie’s main character Andy Dufresne (played by Tim Robbins), basking in the glory of his new found freedom following a prison break:

“Sean Spicer crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can’t even imagine,” they captioned the gif, after slightly tweaking a line voiced by Morgan Freeman’s character Red.

“Full Frontal” later used a puppet and lyrics from the Tears for Fears track “Mad Mad World” to further mock Spicer, before giving the doll a Viking-style burial at sea.
