At the beginning of the movie, when we saw the Griswold family station wagon slip between the wheels of the log hauler, I'm amazed at the stunt drivers' balls of steel and how they handled both vehicles. No matter how much compositing is done and how many safety precautions are taken, it's still a super dangerous stunt to pull off.
I have a DVD with director's commentary and he said that was one of the first scenes they filmed and he was afraid something bad was going to happen and he was thinking it had been a bad idea.
Fun fact: Aunt Bethany was played by Mae Questal, the original voice of Popeye the Sailor's love, Olive Oyl and is the 2nd voice of Betty Boop.
"PLAY BALL!"
😂 Is your house on fire Clark?
Is Rusty still in the navy?
I was just going to say the same thing
I think she wrapped her cat!
This was the third in the series after Vacation & European Vacation, Vegas Vaction was the last one - all are worth a watch. Because of the time between each movie, the children are played by different actors in each film.
which Clark gives nod to in Vegas Vacation. "you kids are growing up so fast I don't even recognize you anymore." followed by awkward silence and glances between Clark and the kids.
@@jyesucevitz😂 yep- that was good!
C/Z- National Lampoons Vacation -1983 (the original Griswold family vacation). Guys, 1983 Vacation is one of the funniest movies of all time. Cam/Zay great reaction to this Christmas classic and you will both love the original Vacation also. Chevy Chase is so good/funny in that movie as well. Love to see you react to that classic gem!
The Grisworld family's adventures are indeed quite logically chronological.
YES !!!!!!!!!
Fresh Christmas trees are notoriously sticky. The sap gets on your hands and you stick to everything for a day or two. Chevy Chase was a very famous comedian at the time this movie was made. He starred for years on Saturday Night Live alongside Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy, among many others.
Aykroyd and Belushi also Murray are correct....Eddie Murphy is a few years later down the timeline. ...A very unknown little piece of trivia related to Chevy Chase is that he was also a drummer that played with a very early incarnation of Steeley Dan....Aykroyd is also an unknown musician as well who has collaborated with many well known musicians back in the 70's
This movie has so many hilarious quotes, my notification sound every winter is a clip of Eddie saying, "Merry Christmas! Shitter was full!" 🤣🤣🤣
The bad guy boss man is actually Bill Murrays brother Brian Doyle-Murray...they look a lot alike actually
Chevy Chase (Clark) was one of the original cast members of SNL along with other cast members such of Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Jane Curtain, Gilda Radnor. He was the first "Weekend Update" anchor as well as the first SNL cast member to impersonate a U.S. President (Gerald Ford). Clark Griswold is one of his iconic movie characters as he played the character in National Lampoon's Vacation, European Vacation, and Vega Vacation.
We're going to have the hap, hap, happiest reaction since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny Fing Kaye.
His hands were sticking to the magazine pages because of all the tree sap. The reason the tree went up in flames was because the dog kept drinking all of the water in the stand. Chevy Chase did most of his own stunts (including the sled scene, though I'm sure he didn't do the actual driving under the truck stunt) and actually broke his finger when he was punching the Santa decorations. There are several call backs to the first Vacation movie, both the beginning scene in the car and the end scene with the SWAT team are basically rewrites of the same scenes in the first movie. Clark also accidentally kills another old lady relative's pet in the first movie.
You probably don't recognize him in this, but Russ was played by a young Johnny Galecki. He's known more recently as Leonard Hofstadter on "The Big Bang Theory". Also, the woman neighbour, Margo (I think that's her name), was played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who would begin to be seen as Elaine Benes on "Seinfeld" close to the time this was released.
You both need to watch all the vacation movies 🤣🖤💜
We should establish a "Cam and Zay Drinking Game". Every time Cam says, "With that said", you take a shot of your favorite beverage.
The other National Lampoon films with Chevy Chase are a good watch also. You guys need to check out another good film from him called 'Fletch'.
This is my favorite Xmas movie of all time. It has everything that makes a family Xmas stressful and horrifying. I showed it to my daughter when she was young and I just recently showed my granddaughter this film. She loved it! As Eddie would say, “ It’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
Chevy Chase was big in the 80's
As Clark griswold in national lampoon's Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation and Vegas Vacation.
He was also in Fletch and Fletch Lives, Caddyhack 1 and 2, Spies Like Us and many more. Comedys that keep you laughing a lot.
Has lived on as everybody knows these movies
The other Vacation movies are totally worth it. This one was a sequel (Vacation was the original) and even tho it stands alone great as a Xmas classic, there are some scenes that take it for granted that the characters had already been set up in previous films... like Eddie showing up LOL . That's more funny if you already knew of "cousin Eddie"
BTW... the scene in bed where his hands were sticking to everything was from cutting up the live tree and having sap all over his hands. Totally a thing LOL
This was a fun reaction! Merry Christmas guys!! Squirrel!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, extremely hard to get the sap off your hands!
I've seen so many younger reactors not get this. Do kids not climb trees anymore?
Chevy Chase is legendary. He was one of the ORIGINAL 1970\s Saturday Night Live cast members alongside Bill Murray, Dan Acroyd, John Bellushi , and the rest. You need to check out the other Vacation movies he did.
Everyone always comments on the sewer being green and ask how human feces could do that. It was a chemical toilet in an RV, it's not the feces that's the problem, it's the chemicals used to break them down.
It’s the methane from the feces itself.methane gas which is released from either human or putrescible waste is way more combustible than any RV chemical
It’s why you’re not supposed to smoke at a landfill or waster treatment plant. That’s why Clark says “methane” specifically in film
What's funny is that the most unrealistic part of this movie is the boss feeling guilt and reversing his bonus decision.
You two have quickly become some of my favorite reactors. Zay’s one-liner game is getting sharp. Thanks for the uploads
Man.....this movie is a timeless classic..... I maybe getting older but these folk stay the same age every year. 1989 seems like yesterday to me...
Omg, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray in Caddyshack is a must watch! It's almost a right of passage, lol. It's considered an all time great comedy and there is debate if it might be THE MOST quotable movie in cinematic history. So many good lines in this movie.
The actor playing Clark’s boss is Brian Doyle Murray, Bill’s brother. He was also in National Lampoon’s Vacation, playing the owner of the vacation campground.
The dog drank the water out of the tree well so it dried out and became a giant match stick.
Aunt Bethany is by far one of my favorite characters in the movie
Clark does some questionable things but end of the day he’s just a dude who wants to give his family a good Christmas and he just can’t catch a break 😂
I had to go back 5 times to see Cam's reaction at 20:47 regarding the dog and just letting him finish. That was funnier than the movie.
Yay, love seeing younger generations enjoy a film I grew up with! Christmas Vacation has been quoted in my fam for the past 30 years, it'll always remain a classic. Thx for your reaction!
You didn't get the bedroom scene when the magazine pages and her hair and lamp were sticking to him. You remember just prior with the big Christmas tree, Clark kept saying, pretty full, lotta sap." His hands were covered in tree pitch.
The best part was "Where's the Tylenol " 🤣 I'm sad I was waiting for that part.
So many great gags but one of my favorites is the doorbell when the grandparents show up.
There was a cut scene that explains how they got the tree out. They go back to the seller and he won't give them a saw but gives them a shovel.
Three Amigos is my favorite Chevy Chase movie. It helps that I like Steve Martin and Martin Short more.
26:43 I love how the neighbour's boyfriend is scared
33:15 Yeah, trees can be pretty flammable -especially if cousin Eddie's stupid dog keeps drinking all the water from the tree stand.
Tree sap. Everything sticks to griswold’s hands after he puts up the tree because of the tree sap.
You brought up a lot of interesting points about the next door neighbors. I’m wondering if they’re in the movie because Clark realizes at the end that Christmas is about something more wholesome that the materialistic things he’s been obsessing over the whole film, and the neighbors are meant to show the extreme of that materialistic lifestyle.
20:15 Check out the fake turtleneck Eddie wears while they're drinking egg nog. 😅
Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Las Vegas Vacation is the production order. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Gone Fishin' are bat trips too. And Home Alone series.
Have to say I'm 64 years old and I watch along to your reactions and laugh like hell.Just a few notes: I read somewhere that Bill Murrey has at least 5 brothers and sisters,and the Murrey brothers own a bar (somewhere prob.California)called Caddyshacks.When I was younger I had a huge Nat'l.Lampoon magazine collection and in the original Vacation story,set in the 1950s and "narrated" by the son, the Griswolds set out for Disneyland(or Disneyworld,can't remember
the park in Cali.),have numerous setbacks,some featured in the movie version, and when they arrive at the Disney park it's closed.Clark loses it, drives to a gun store where he purchases a rifle, then calmly drives to Walts' house and shoots him in the leg.It's funnier in the mag.Anyway..fave.reactions when I need a lift.The adlibs are the best.Thanks.
36:28 it was written down. when he's having his mental/verbal breakdown. the family watching Clark scene was filmed twice.
once from the front so you see their faces and when their backs are toward us. that's when they were holding Chevy's lines
for that scene. I always thought he adlibed it, but the family held cue cards with those names on them. I think if he adlibed
it we would have seen an R rated or even NC-17 Christmas movie.
P.S. "Was that a dragon?" You made me spit out my soda!
The reason why he wasn’t bad, and the pages of a magazine we’re sticking to his hand, and to his wife hair was because of the Christmas tree sap. I grew up in Reno, Nevada and pine trees were always sappy and sticky.
What a joy it was to watch this with you! Your joyous laughter is just what this old widow needed. This one is a keeper. And to keep the red bathing suit fun going, get yourselves a copy of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and meet one Phoebe Cates. You're welcome.
I love this movie sooo much! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chevy Chase was one of the original members of the Saturday Night Live cast. 🙌🏻
Guys: you should do Miracle on 34th street!
Christmas classic!
Stay safe, stay sane,Happy Holidays
You guys are so fun 😂
Because of this movie, even though I know better, each time I open the attic access, I stand to the side..
It’s a classic! But I also highly recommend you checking out the other 3 Vacation movies. First is Vacation, then European Vacation and then Vegas Vacation.
We watch this and It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas; tradition.
the dog kept drinking the water from under the tree so it dried out and thus was easily lit..
Love you guys. You're so funny and seem like great guys. Thanks for all the reactions. 🙂
The order of these movies is Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation. Vegas is the weakest, but Vacation an European are DEFINATELY worth a reaction video. I love your guys reaction videos. Just found them a few days ago. Keep them coming
Right before the scene where his hands were sticking to everything he put the tree up and he mentioned there was a lot of sap. His hands were covered in sap and sticking to everything.
Best Christmas movie ever! Just the intro is so nostalgic.
You should watch all of these movies, they’re hilarious
You never seen Chevy Chase? He’s one of the original snl cast and was declared the funniest man in America back in the day
@9:35 - His hands are sticky from the sap in the Christmas tree. Inside the tree, he says, "It's nice, very full...lots of sap."
Sometimes your reactions are funnier than the movie. Well done sirs...🤘
14:36 I think that poster on the ceiling is of Claudia Schiffer. She was a popular supermodel back then.
Chevy Chase is known for all of these, as well as the first season of _SNL,_ the _Fletch_ movies, the _Caddyshack_ films, _¡Three Amigos!_ and the TV series _Community._
_National Lampoon's Vacation_ (1983), _National Lampoon's European Vacation_ (1985), _National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation_ (1989), _Vegas Vacation_ (1997), and _Vacation_ (2015).
Cam's laugh is so hilarious
Great reaction fellas. Please watch National Lampoon's Vacation. The original and the funniest imo.
I think there was a cut scene where the guy who owned the tree lot helped them pull it out of the ground...there are some people who swear they've seen that scene when it was in theaters
Mae Questel that played Bethany was best known as the voice of "Betty Boop", she was also the voice of not so less famous "Olive Oyl" in the Popeye's cartoons, but also the toddler Swee'pea
The Truth be known, He never did get the pool. He had to use the bonus to pay the electric bill.
Y'all need to see the first "Vacation" movie, to get the full picture on Cousin Eddie. And then see the third one, "Vegas Vacation".
This movie is ok, but in order to understand and appreciate the lunacy and hilarity that is the Griswalds you need to watch the first Vacation and European Vacation(I relate to this one because I'm German and the German jokes are plenty) Also, my favorite Chevy Chase movie is Fletch (the original) and Spies Like US is hilarious too! Please check these out! Thank you!
Spies Like Us is so underrated.
@dukey19941 the pressure, fart! Envoy test- hilarious!
In the fall of 1975 Saturday night live went on TV for the first time. Chevy Chase became a huge star overnight on that show as the first cast member doing the weekend update and also with a couple of well-known skits. movie offers just came pouring into him so he never came back after the first season except as a guest host. to start the second season we got to meet his new replacement Bill Murray. Chevy Chase was in I think four major films before the 70s ended. in the 80s he was a huge comedy film star right there next to Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy,And Steve Martin.
"You surprised?"
"Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now."
Fun Fact: Beverly D'Angelo improvised grabbing Chevy Chase's crotch when the SWAT team holds up the house. She later said she did it on only one take, on the off chance it could make the film's final cut, which is what happened.
Final Bow Fact: Final film of Mae Questel, whose film career began in 1930, as the voice of Betty Boop.
Location Location Fact: The house in which the neighbors, Todd (Nicholas Guest) and Margo (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), live is the same house where the Murtaugh family lived in all four Lethal Weapon movies. The houses on this street are on the Warner Brothers backlot.
Signature Joke Fact: After Clark Griswold unsuccessfully attempts to demonstrate his handiwork with the house Christmas lights to his family, he asks Rusty (Johnny Galecki) to help him check all the light bulbs again. Rusty looks at his bare wrist, pretending to have a watch, and excuses himself. Looking at a bare wrist and pretending to have a watch is one of Chevy Chase's trademark gags.
Movie buff or favorite movie?
Huge movie buff. I could not do "First Time Watching" videos, simply because I've seen too many.
Added: I also love this movie personally and critically.
Fun fact about the actress that played Aunt Bethany, Mae Questel, is the original voice of Betty Boop.
When you thought he was Spider-Man, the scene prior he had mentioned how the tree was full but had lots of sap. So it was the sap that was on his hands and making them stick to everything.
They must have never cut or climbed a fir tree before. I've never seen anyone not get that joke. And he does say "lotta sap" several times.
One of the funniest lines: Ooh the Crunch Enhancer? Yeah, it's a non-nutritive cereal varnish. It's semi-permeable, non-osmotic.
This just popped up in my feed and I absolutely love your reaction to it, best reaction I've seen on RUclips!😂. This is my favorite Holiday Comedy ever 😂😂 Fun facts if you didn't know, the red haired Grandma, Doris Robert's, also played Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond lol, the kids are Juliette Lewis (from Natural Born Killers and so many other movies) and Johnny Galecki from Big Bang Theory and Aunt Bethany (Mae Questel) was the voice of Olive Oyl, Betty Boop and possibly Popeye I believe but not positive on the last one. And Clark's boss Mr. Shirley was played by Bill Murray's brother Brian Doyle Murray. Bill Murray and Chevy Chase were 2 of the original Saturday Night Live cast members in 1975 lol. Mae and Doris were national treasures and sooo funny! RIP Mae Questel and Doris Roberts.❤ Subscribed btw👌🏼
This has been our (like many) family film since it came out. I was born the year after and it was always a staple,
along with late 80s, early 90s SNL. Such a ridiculous film but fun and with good one liners and memorable quotes to last the year. 😂
Also,truly very cold in the suburbs of Chicago back then,moreso than now, so I try to think of that everytime I see this film. I like to believe they probably went close or into Canada for a tree **fictional film wise** However, for all we know they could have also gone to the U.P. *the actual filming for most of the movie was in CO*
I can not believe I heard one of you say he has never seen this actor before. That blows my mind.
Clark Griswold only wanted the best for his family, shout out to Elaine from Seinfeld who plays the snooty neighbor's wife!
“I can’t tell how she feels about this interaction.” I think she feels a big sale coming on.
You can actually hear the instant the last bit of Clark's sanity snaps like a matchstick.
Chevy Chase is a comedy legend. His time on SNL, is iconic. He was huge in the last 70’s to earl 90’s. I loved “Modern Problems”, “Caddy Shack”, “Fletch”
@9:09 the man on the cover of People magazine was the director of Christmas Vacation.
Chevy Chase is a douche of a human being and yet he is one of the best physical comedians of all time. Happy Hollidays gents. Let’s all take a break from all the animosity out there and have a good laugh and get back to loving our neighbour and remember how great it can be to simply laugh and have some Good Cheer. I know I’m ready for it and you guys are great at bringing it.
Why do you say he is a douche?
Tree sap was why the magazine was sticking to his hands😂
All four movies are wonderful. They are all unique and crazy. Please watch them all.
The child is none other than the actor who plays Leonard on Big Bang.
The girl in the poster over Rusty’s bunk was Carre Otis, a model who was very popular in the 80’s. She acted in 4 movies, including a mainstream erotic film that came out about the same time as Christmas Vacation.
Y'all so adorable! 🤣
Fun fact, the son Rusty is Johnny Galeki who is Leonard on the Big Bang Theory...
I've got an odd order in which I like the series. 1) Christmas 2) Vegas 3) Vacation 4) European told ya.
Chevy Chase has been in a bunch of 80's flicks. Spies Like us, Vacation from 1983, Fletch, and Fletch Lives, Three Amigo's just to name a few classics.
The old lady who sings the national anthem towards the end was the original voice for Betty Boop the cartoon character 👍
He's talking like Chevy Chase is a new talent or something lol, he was one of the original Saturday night Live cast members and went in to have a huge movie career in the 80's with movies like Caddy Shack and the vacation movies and spies like us.
I don't know if this has been mentioned but Russ is played by Johnny Galecki of The Big Bang Theory v
One of my out of the normal, but I love is Ice Cube's Friday After Next sort of R rated. About Xmas in the hood.
Original movie was Vacation, then European Vacation, then Xmas Vacation, and finally Las Vegas Vacation
Was enjoying watching kids watching one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time until they made me feel old as hell and had to say to bad he's not in to many comedies he's good at it 😂😂 bless your hearts Chevy Chase is a big actor and he still acts
You might notice that the son, Rusty, is played by Johnny Galecki from Big Bang Theory. 😁
Fun fact. The kid who plays Russ is one of the main characters in Big Bang Theory as well as Roseanne
Awe Chevy Chase was amazing in his prime; Fletch, Fletch Lives; Caddyshack; any of the vacation movies, Spies Like Us; Three Amigos; Funny Farm.
Another great reaction. The ONLY thing I don’t love about your channel is that the action/TV programs aren’t my favorite genre. So, I don’t watch them. So, I don’t get much from those reactions. I’m NOT requesting you to NOT do those. It’s your channel. Do what you love!!!! But… I it doesn’t get me excited when I see there’s a reaction more up my alley. You two are are great reactors. Excellent team. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
