In this video Anthony is showing Kacee National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) For the first time! In order to create the perfect family Christmas as the holidays draw near, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) annoys his wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) and kids while checking that everything is in order, including the tree and home decorations. But immediately, things start to go wrong. Eddie (Randy Quaid), his family, and other backwoods relatives unexpectedly move into a camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark's employers fail to pay him the necessary holiday bonus.

the order of the Vacation Movies is The American Vacation is the 1st one The Europe Vacation is 2nd and Christmas Vacation is the 3rd

@garychambers6848 Год назад

Aunt Bethany in Christmas Vacation sounds familiar because she was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

@benschultz1784 Год назад

This was her last on-screen appearance.

@davidtstravels8939 Год назад

"Hello everybody!!" LOL

@Deathbird_Mitch Год назад

She went from a quintessential sex symbol to being the quintessential adorable grandma.

@michaeldorsey1394 Год назад

Really!? I grew up with this movie and never knew that! How interesting thanks!

@StCerberusEngel Год назад

She's still got it! Boop-Oop-a-Doop!

@dwerenat1 Год назад

Fun fact: Bethany, the ditzy older relative who starts singing the Star Spangled Banner at the end of the movie is May Questel, the woman who voiced Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, the latter for six decades.

@anthonydean1743 Год назад

Since the kids are always different in every movie, Johnny Galecki plays the Rusty in this one. You might recognize Galecki from the series Roseanne, and from The Big Bang Theory.

@darthken815 Год назад

"Can't even see the line, can ya, Russ?" "Nope" I'm guessing Rusty got an early Christmas present of $50 to keep his mouth shut.

@tempsitch5632 Год назад

I’d say the real present was him getting the chance to see or not see the line, at that age.

@darthken815 Год назад

Ha! True!

@shawnmiller4781 7 месяцев назад

$50 would have been real money back then

@shainewhite2781 Год назад

This was the very first Vacation movie I saw on TV! It's hilarious! All Clark wants is a normal Christmas but not everything goes according to plan.

@st0n3p0ny Год назад

What he needed was a crazy wild eyed scientist to make him some anti gravity shoes.

We watch this every year because my mother is so much like Clark. She once swore at the sewing machine and punched it just like Clark punched Santa.

@coldflamebluedragon196 Год назад

The National Lampoon movies are such a fun time. They hold so much nostalgia. This is probably my favorite out of them

@j.woodbury412 Год назад

I like how Clark's father in law, who was always criticizing Clark the whole movie, was the first person to stand up for Clark when he called out his boss for cutting out the Christmas bonus. I never noticed that before.

3:44 if that’s Clark’s reaction to the suggestion of getting a tree from a lot, imagine suggesting to him that they get a fake one.

Kacee & Anthony Clark's Aunt Betheny was played by Mae Questel who was one of the voices of cartoon's Betty Boop

@MrTech226 Год назад

Mae had very distinct voice that was made for Betty Boop.

@williamstevenson8518 Год назад

When this came out the return of the Cousin Eddie character was kept a secret in the runup to the release. It was a major, hilarious, surprise to see him on screen. A very big deal.

@gabeowens9248 7 месяцев назад

I love that Juliette Lewis went from this to 'Natural born Killers' in 5 years. Makes a lot of sense for the character arc... =))

Chevy Chase, Rowan Atkinson, Peter Sellers, Leslie Nielson, John Ritter, and Buster Keaton all went the school of slapstick comedy.

I’ve been watching this movie since I was a kid and it just gets funnier and funnier every year

one of the lines I fine the funniest is when Eddie is outside. and says shitter is full.

@jedionboard1233 7 месяцев назад

Seen this film every christmas since 1989,,, and its still very funny. I love how they changed the kids in every film,,, and they dont look the same. Watch out for some tv ads with chevy chase "old navy " sweaters,,, such fun.

@TheDigitalThreat 7 месяцев назад

First time I saw this one was in a packed theater on christmas eve when it released, and the entire audience was laughing hysterically nearly the entire movie. My stomach hurt by the end of the movie I had laughed so hard for so long.

@julieharden2433 10 месяцев назад

The first time I ever saw this movie, I literally cried laughing so hard. This is a an annual Christmas watching tradition for our family. So hysterical. European Vacation is the 2nd one, then Christmas Vacation, and finally Vegas Vacation. All of them are gems. And there is a running joke with the kids throughout all 4 movies, which is pretty funny. Fun note - the actor who play Rusty in this movie is Leonard on The Big Bang Theory!

@mattmc5069 Год назад

What I love is the "realistic holiday" approach. All those 1950s movies show everyone singing and happy. A picture perfect scene. But this shows what it's really like: annoying in laws, the grouchy family, the embarrassing ones, (and drop by unannounced) all the bickering and arguing. It's "dysfunctional" yet much more "normal" then commonly shown in the past.

@paulgardner5079 Год назад

this, along with DIe Hard, A CHristmas Story, and its a wonderful life are my yearly mandatory CHristmas movies

@patrickwilliams3463 Год назад

I've always found the bit with Snots horking up something beneath the dinner table hilarious for some reason. As for movie suggestions, try "The Ref."

@esthenidarvou8370 Год назад

Denis Leary is awesome in that!

@mpoundcake8216 Год назад

The order is: 1. National Lampoon's Vacation 2. National Lampoon's European Vacation (R.I.P. to the daughter in this one - she died in the late 90s) 3. Christmas Vacation 4. Vegas Vacation They also did a new vacation with Rusty (the son's) family a few years ago.

@billstephens396 Год назад

We never put up the tree until AFTER the national holiday of my birthday... 13 DEC ... Now, the day I was born, my mother had to rest... But, that also gave birth to "The 12 Days of Christmas" song... The first day is an analogy of my mother holding me...

@quixote6942 Год назад

I put mine up the Day after Thanksgiving, And they come Down January 3rd. RESPECT the Current Holiday! Chevy Chase was Famous for his Pratfalls during his Tenure in SNL, in the Early 80's.

@195511SM Год назад

I found just the right artificial tree about 35 years ago. Tall, yet thin enough to fit into the corner of my apartment. I decorated it with lots of lights & add a few new ones (...along with some ornaments ) each year. To keep the dust off it....each year I cover it with large garbage bags...& it stays conveniently tucked into the corner until I unwrap it, plug it in & it's ready to go, when I need it. Instant Christmas. I think I've only taken it down maybe 4 or 5 times for a move.

@matthewm9666 Год назад

You should check out "The Ref." It is too often overlooked. But is a hilarious xmas time film with a great cast.

@TheNeonParadox Год назад

One of those yearly tradition movies for sure.

@nickscholz6559 Год назад

This is my favorite of all the Vacation movies and my family has watched it every year for the past 10 years, always at Christmas time.

@danielle2247 Год назад

I'm pretty sure Clark saved the decorating on the outside of the house for when the family got there because he wanted a break - gave himself an excuse to disappear lol

Johnny Galecki as a little kid, that was a very long time ago! We see the movie every year at Christmas! Since it was available on VHS.

Fun Fact: The neighbors house in this movie was eventually used in Wandavision as the home of Wanda & Vision. It was also used as Roger Murtogh's house in Lethal Weapon.

And Chevy almost broke his neck tripping over a toilet hidden in the hedge. It was the one from leather weapon 2 that a grip had moved out of the way after the explosion scene and everybody forgot about

Classic for my family and I every year. Doesn’t matter what time of year when the WHOLE family gets together, before we say a prayer at a meal “the BLESSIINNGGG” is always quoted. Haha. Oh, Uncle Lewis 😂

@jdspencer60 Год назад

My parents built their house in 1986 and kept part of the upstairs open, and the other half was a loft with a railing over the living room. My dad built it that way so we could put a huge crhistmas tree in our house every year, we had trees that were 14 feet tall - the loft was handy because that's how we decorated the top

@palmcone Год назад

Our HOA doesn’t allow Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. Some stores start putting them out after back to school/Labor Day now.

@jcg1576 Год назад

“The National Lampoon’s Vacation” series began with “National Lampoon’s Vacation in 1983 where the Griswolds as you mentioned went to Wally World. Then came “National Lampoon’s European Vacation” in 1985 where the Griswold’s go obviously on zany European vacation. Next came “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” in 1989 followed by “National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation” in 1997. Those made up the original National Lampoon’s Vacation Franchise. There is a “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation 2-Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure” from 2003 and “Hotel Vacation” from 2010 where Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold who embark on on trip to visit their son Rusty but along the way Clark surprises Ellen with a romantic getaway that quickly turns into disaster. Christmas Vacation 2 was aired on regular tv when it was released and Hotel Vacation was apparently released to one or more online streaming services. Then the final movie in the National Lampoon Vacation franchise is a 2015 remake of the original National Lampoon’s Vacation movie simply name Vacation centering around a married Rusty Griswold and his family as he, Rusty, attempts to recreate the original family trip to Wally World from the first movie. The Family Truckster from the first movie even makes a cameo in the 2015 remake. Christmas Vacation 2 up through the 2015 remake of the original National Lampoon Vacation movie, I think, got mixed reviews from viewers.

@brianito7779 Год назад

"Sassy" was a magazine for teenage girls. I actually bought an issue back then (and still have it) because there was an article on the punk scene. As a guy I felt a bit embarrassed at the register. By the way, "Aunt Bethany", the one with the funny voice, was played by Mae Questel. She was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.

@adamdolezalek9402 Год назад

Every year I'm looking forward to this movie. Normally we watch old chech movies during Christmas but this is one of the few foreign movies that always end up on TV for us.

@quixote6942 Год назад

The Original "Rusty" was Michael Anthony Hall, But THIS ONE Played "Leonard Hoffstedder" in "The Big Band Theory"... Johnny Galeki!

@charlesspringer4709 Год назад

I nearly split a gut at the Pledge of Allegiance and cousin Eddie stands up. I forgot how hilarious some of this movie is.

@Sirala6 11 месяцев назад

Having your own swimming pool is fun, requires maintenance when can be done by a service fairly cheaply, or DIY. In the warm months, the family I knew with a pool used it everyday. They had kids, and the kids had friends, and when school is out you can get the kids out of the house with a pool in the back. I've known people who wore their swimsuits day and night until the chlorine ate the fabric away.

@JMulvy Год назад

Fun fact: Steven Spielberg requires a shooting star in every film he has a hand in and for this movie he was an executive producer. The other movies are consistent with the family of Clark, Ellen, Rusty and Audrey, as well as Cousin Eddie's but only Chevy Chase, Beverley D'Angelo and Randy Quaid are recurring cast members. Everyone else gets changed up to depict the same family members at different ages of their lives, but the Vegas one breaks that continuity by keeping Rusty and Audrey as teenagers.

@spikejr3113jr Год назад

The guy who plays cousin Eddie in this movie completely lost his mind in real life. Most people don’t actually understand the dog keeps drinking the trees water so it was so dried out it exploded. The boss on this movie is bill Murray’s brother

@chriswhinery925 Год назад

I've seen this movie a hundred times and the part where Clark pulls the attic string and gets smacked in the face with the ladder never fails to make me laugh my ass off.

My favorite holiday movie! 🤣 My husband works for a wine and alcohol delivery company and he just brought home a Griswold house wine box that holds 4 bottles of wine inside but the best part is that it actually lights up like the one in this movie! 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

@allybluhm7317 Год назад

I loved your wife’s reaction! This is by far my favorite Christmas movie! I too grew up watching it from the time I was probably 4, like you! I’m so glad I was able to experience this movie throughout my childhood! I think I read recently it is the most watched Christmas movie of all time, which does not surprise me at all!! But yes definitely react to the original vacation! :)

@marcuspi999 9 месяцев назад

You said the old lady, Aunt Bethany, has a funny voice. That's voice actress Mae Questel, who provided the voices of both Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in cartoons, starting in the 1930s.

My theory is Clark doesn't get that pool because he has to spend the money fixing up the damage to the house.

The order of the Vacation Movies; National Lampoon's Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation and Vegas Vacation.

@folkblues4u Год назад

Don't get how people dismiss DieHard as "not a Christmas movie"? It has all the tenents of the classic Christnas miracle story... right down to the last minute making it home to family, the unexpected "snowing" (bearer-bonds), the miracles, the savior, seeking redemption for recognized failures, clear messages about focusing on material wealth over goodwill leading to destruction, It is a classic Christmas tale - but people struggle to see it through an action lens. Hell, if you really look at ... it even has Christian references to walking on seas (of broken glass) and washing the feet of the poor and downtrodden. Or even the last 2 bullets - that he uses ultimately to vanquish the final villains as representing the holy trinity- one being the holy spirit, the other being the father, and the third being John ... the son (and savior) himself.

@tarontagosh1127 Год назад

The first two movies (vacation/european vacation) are pretty good. Though a big thing to watch for so you don't get confused. The actors for the kids are different and they are age swapped. So the daughter is younger. Though they are closer in age than the two in this movie.
