It says fragile goof ball

They were some of the best and funniest Christmas parents.

And he won it in a raffle because he completed a crossword puzzle. Its brilliant.

My favorite character in this movie is the Old Man. A Christmas Story Christmas has a wonderful tribute to him.

I agree. We love this movie.

HENRY! HE DID IT AGAIN! GO OVER AND GIVE THAT NEIGHBOR OF OURS WHAT FOR!

I loved this passage from the book this movie was based on. It's still accurate even today in some ways... "Our entire world was strung together with "extensions." Outlets in our house were rare and coveted, each one buried under a Bakelite mound of three-way, seven-way and ten-way plugs and screw sockets, the entire mess caught in a twisted, snarling Gordian knot of frayed lamp cords, radio cords, and God knows what. Occasionally in some houses a critical point was reached and one of these electrical bombs went off, sometimes burning down whole blocks of homes, or more often blowing out the main fuse, plunging half the town into darkness." Older homes were built with the idea of people not needing more than a lamp or perhaps a radio, so rooms included just one or two receptacles at most. But our electrical needs have changed drastically since. That's why modern electrical codes now require outlets no more than six feet apart in new construction and rewired homes, to discourage this sort of thing. Unfortunately people still manage to crowd their outlets with dozens of plugs while ignoring the other empty ones.😁

I though it was a joke about how the Major Reward needed a lot a power to both turn on and turn on

I like how the crowd is curious men build up outside the window. 😆

Guess he can’t spell, yet he reads the newspaper daily.

lol epic!!

He could do drama too. Best example is The Natural

Must be Italian

I love it

Best line of the movie

Not much to do in that small town...

Notice there is no credit for "Swede," the guy in the street who delivers that line. That's a cameo by Jean Shepherd, author of _In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash_, the book of stories the movie is based on.

@@GraniteGuythat’s actually the director Bob Clark. Jean Shepherd makes a cameo waiting in line during the Santa scene

It's sad that more and more people want this back.

​@@godzillavkkGo outside.

@@a-nus Make me

"It reminds me of the 4th of July!"

@@nina1522/ I always use that line for everything/ some people get it and a few don’t, but I don’t care, just a cool line!

‘ Dad‘s not going to kill Ralphie’

FraGilAy!

Not even close.....

Agreed 🤭

‘ mindpower ‘ 🤘😎

Fra Gil LEE That must be Italian ?!?!?!?!?!?

Apparently Ralphie’s dad had never heard of the word “fragile” as a synonym for delicate, or “Handle With Care,” as the case would be.

Yes..lolol😂😂 Especially at Christmas.. I did it..and it would weight down..ugh!!! The things you remember..

In real life, that extent of power outlet abuse is a case of an electrical fire accident waiting to happen.

Like a recipe for disaster.

Ah, yes-the one whom Ralphie’s dad calls a nincompoop(that’s also a sign of this outdated era, another term you certainly don’t hear anymore, used to mean a dummy, of course.)

They do make them. Lol

Actually, he lives well into Ralphie‘s adult life and has even met the grandkids. He dies at the beginning of the sequel

YOU USED UP ALL THE GLUE ON PURPOSE!

@@donaldpaluga Lol! That’s my favorite line in the entire movie aside from “You’ll shoot your eye out!” and “Oh Fudge!” 😂

And also the mom exclaiming (upon “accidentally” destroying the lamp):”Jealous? Of a PLASTIC leg?! Are you kidding?! That is, by far, the UGLIEST lamp I have EVER seen in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!”

And the guy at the end of the line to see Santa is Jean Shepherd himself

Same here!

Side note: I don't have any cigars so a cigarette hanging out of my mouth will have to do. Or maybe a joint.

I am invested now. Would like to know how this goes.

@@Tay20 I will update here after it happens. lol

@@Tay20 Tomorrow night is the night. I even bought a clipboard and wrote up a fake delivery receipt. Went and bought a cigar earlier today.

Yessssa!

Thanks to that big evil baldy baby Jeff Bezos 👨‍🦲😂

If you order something big enough that might be what it comes in.

Ok?...

My grandpa, born in 1938, said this was one of the most accurate movies that portrayed what it was like as a kid during that time. And it did indeed seem simpler.

No television? Trust me if someone wanted to, I highly doubt there would be any major differences in staying on the couch watching the fucking box TV all day.

People connected with each other? I guess you’ve never been called a dirty Italian in the streets of NYC...

Afford a car? Most cars were about 800$, and boy if you knew how much that was back then you’d delete your comment.

embarrassing

I am.

classic!!

For a man who can’t read English, even though he’s American.

She reminds me of my old boss. Same personality

Me too! And it lights up!

@@cynthianewton6891 same as mine!

@@spidertubethecoolguy2576 Brings back such wonderful memories of the movie (and the writer, Jean Shepard, who wrote the screenplay (based on his book with that as a chapter, which was based on his life growing up in the 40's) and who also narrated the film. Jean was on every night on WOR Radio in NY and our family would gather round the radio and listen to his stories -- he never scripted anything, apparently, just told stories with that magnificent voice. (This was in the late 60's/early 70;s) His books are well worth reading. The movie was based on a chapter or two from Jean's book "In God We Trust -- All Others Pay Cash".

The mom = the Lions after the 2021 game

Actually says HIS end up, and that joke went whoosh right over your head

I love it
