We loved the Griswold's road trip to Wally World (aka Six Flags...) What are some other great comedies for us to watch!!
Thank you all for the support!
you must watch rollercoaster from 1977...
Me, myself & Irene, with Jim Carrey, if you haven't seen it. 🤭
1941 from Steven Spielberg
Tropic Thunder
00:05:01 Yeah the graffiti on the side of the station wagon said something derogatory and racist.
It said "Honky Lips" on his car. LMAO This and Christmas Vacation, are the best two of the series I think .
Y’all are gonna hate me but my two favorites are this and European vacation. Christmas vacation is great but I kinda have a resentment towards it only because that the one everyone knows and talks about and most people especially in my age group don’t Ben know about the other ones and that it was actually the third in a series and I think the first two are funnier
My family drove to Disneyland in '68. Dad got lost in the wrong part of LA. He didn't stop though. There had been riots earlier that month (Aug). Dad ran red lights to get out, I guess reasoning that a ticket was worth the price to meet the police.
@@orionvitale5020 European Vacation is really underrated!
If you look closely in "Chistmas Vacation" Clark and Eddie can be seen drinking eggnog from a Wally World punch bowl.
My family saw this in the theater while we were on vacation in 1983. We thought, “Hey, a movie about a family on vacation and we’re a family on vacation, it’s perfect!”
I was 10 and I had three younger sisters. I think my parents were a little uncomfortable for a few scenes, especially my dad because he was a LOT like Clark in many ways.
My dad was a drive till you drop, no bathroom breaks kind of guy.
@@JayM409 BLESS YOUR DAD, SO WAS MINE👍👍
@@clevelandbci9562 you guys have dads?
"How could we miss the Grand Canyon!? It's only the biggest goddam hole in the world!"
"CLARK! Watch your language!"
"Sorry. (second biggest)"
things I learned from watching this reaction: (1) Wally World is Six Flags... (2) Six Flags hasn't updated their park in 40 years LOL
Some good Chevy Chase movies worth watching are Three Amigos, Spies Like Us, Funny Farm, The Fletch movies and of course Caddyshack.
also "Memoirs of an Invisible man". Great John Carpenter flick with Chevy Chase in it :)
Foul Play, his first, is a gem, too; with Goldie Hawn.
Yes I agree 👍💯,I have all those movies on DVD, love them all classics
@@MikeySea676 great movie classic
Love all the above but especially Fletch. (The sequel is decent too)
John Candy was originally cast to play Louis Tully in Ghostbusters, and this movie gives us a glimpse of how he might have played that role.
Also, Harold Ramis, aka Egon Spengler, directed this movie too.
Christy Brinkley was one of the first super models, however Beverly D'Angelo was a hell of a fox too.
Nice Ferrari.
I advise viewing "The Jerk."
Oh God yes
"He hates these cans! Stay away from the cans!"
Hmmmm
I always liked “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” better
If you enjoy John Candy films ,you just have to watch "Planes, Trains,and Automobiles" Its absolutely one of his best films! Excellent movie!
The Great Outdoors was good too, that was with John Candy and Dan Ackroyd.
Planes Trains and Automobiles!! Yes!!
'Uncle Buck' (1989)
Clarks Rant is one of the funniest lines in movie history. “You know what I think? I think. You’re all fu**ed in the head!!.... Sheer genius 😂😅
I agree. I actually use that line quite often.
And the best thing is he only really drops all the F-Bombs when the situation is really at its worst xD which makes his rage even funnier and the swearing a lot more useful.
I can't believe I'm on a pilgrimage...to see a moose!
"DON'T TOUCH!!!"
“The Moose out front shoulda told ya” and “ It could cause a nasty infection” Classic!
Ah, Mr Roy Wally my good old man. From owning Walley World Amusement Park to running a toy store in NYC under an alias of Mr Duncan. That man was all about making children happy.
Also loved that Walt Disney reference in "Vacation" :D They really tried their best to make him look like Uncle Walt.
This movie is timeless. It never stops being funny. And now that I'm 44 and married with two small kids, the movie feels so much different then it did 30 odd years ago.
"well,daddy says I'm the best at it" Wonder how many people,that line flew right over their head.Back in the day
this one and Christmas Vacation are the best ones! Christy Brinkley was a model at the time, and this was her first film appearance. Rusty, played by Anthony Michael Hall, went on to play in other movies like The Breakfast Club, as an adult he was in the TV series The Dead Zone as the lead character, and the reporter in The Dark Knight.
Also was in Weird Science and Edward Scissorhands :)
Michael C Hall was also in Halloween Kills as Tommy Doyle
Awww so few votes for the Great Outdoors and Tommy Boy. Both are pretty great. I prefer Tommy Boy, but the Great Outdoors is so nostalgic. A simpler time and place.
You probably didn't recognize the family because they change the children every movie sometimes Rusty is older sometimes Audrey is but it's always changing 😁
Actually, Audrey is always older than Rusty. Which one is taller than the other may change, but Audrey is always the older sibling.
@@DavidBrown-xm8ou oh I thought in European vacation the brother was old oh well
They acknowledge this in Vegas Vacation when Clark says that he's at work so long that he hardly recognizes the children and he looks at them confused
This film had the cutest Audrey imho. Even though Juliette Lewis was a really good Audrey too in "Christmas Vacation".
edit: This is a question asked in the video about the other National Lampoon Vacation movies. They already watched two. Christmas Vacation and Vacation. They also know there is a newer one without Chevy Chase as the lead. My reply was the other two movies, that Chevy Chase was in. People are not seeming to get that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
European Vacation is the other good one. And, then there is the Las Vegas one. I think that's it for Chevy Chase.
European one sucked it did t have the same charm as the other 3 and the reboot one was okay
@@scsi_joe What about Fletch? Caddyshack? I was talking the National Lampoon movies.
@@ryans413 I liked the European one. It didn't suck. Maybe to you. I always thought the Las Vegas one was the worst one.
@@scsi_joe How did you not know? Did you watch the video? They asked about the other movies they were in, and said there was a new one with a different actor. There is a lot of Chevy Chase movies, Three Amigos, Funny Farm. It makes no sense to think that is the only thing Chevy is in.
Have you forgotten Christmas Vacation? Dishonor, dishoner, dishoner
"DON'T TOUCH!!!" LOL, that was my dad's favorite line. Laughed his ass off with that one. As a kid I thought it was funny. As an adult, I so get it now.
This one and Christmas Vacation are the beast I think.
One of my favorite 80's comedies! Wally World aka Six Flags Magic Mountain was a great addition to the film especially being from California it was very recognizable. Thanks for posting!
"How could I like a girl like that? She's ugly" .
I use that all the time.
You two are by far my favorite reactors on RUclips. You react to subtle humor in movies that most won’t notice and have good commentary throughout. I’ve been hooked since your guys reaction to The Thing.
Keep up the great work!
1:41 maybe you recall this actor as the car dealer. He's Eugene Levy and he was the dad in American Pie.
Lol for some reason, all of the cops on the ride with them at the end is so hilarious.
Eddie Bracken was the actor who played the owner of Wally World (based on Walt Disney. He was also the owner of the Chicago Cubs in the movie 'Rookie of the Year' and the was the owner of the Duncan's Toy Chest (the toy store based on the famous NYC toy store FAO Schwarz) in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in NY'. He was a lead actor in the 1940's and then moved onto Television before returning to smaller film roles in the 1980's and 90's. I know his daughter, Susan from one of the art / painting clubs we belonged to on Long Island, NY.
European Vacation is a lot of fun. For more of Clark and Eddie, check out Vegas Vacation.
Oh heck yeah! European Vacation!!
"Wer zum Teufel WAREN die Leute?" "Ich weiss es doch nicht."
^_^ the guest appearence of Willy Millowitsch was gold.
Clark wipes the dirty dishes with a towel & then puts them in the cabinet.
Eddie offering Clark a “cool one” then handing to Clark the beer he was already drinking.
2 subtle funny moments
the kid playing Rusty in this movie was a young Micheal Anthony Hall before he did the movies weird science and 16 candles and was a part of the :"Brat Pack "with all them other well known teen stars of the 1980's
We had a Dr appt trip from San Diego to Six Flags one rainy Thanksgiving weekend. Colossos was closed for repair so we went on Revolution, the only good ride, four or six times. On the way back, at Anaheim, the back axle of my parent's new Chrysler LeBaron broke, at around 10pm, so we were towed down to the dealer in National City and got a ride back. Unforgettable.
Caddyshack is a hilarious film with Chevy Chase and Bill Murray in it and you don’t have to like golf to laugh your ass off! It is great and love to see you react to it.
The cast and crew did wholesale amounts of cocaine and alcohol during the movie shoot.
Yeah, Magic Mountain as Wally World is pretty great for anyone who's been. Rides like Colossus and Revolution are so recognizable.
"Clark...wild animal!"
"I know...I'm going for it, honey!"
😂😂🤣
This is the first one and it's a classic... now you NEED to see National Lampoons European Vacation and then the Vegas Vacation movie.. they're equally hilarious!! Glad you've seen the Christmas one though, love that one too!! 😁
They switch the kids in every movie. The only recurring characters are Clark, Ellen, Uncle Eddie, and his wife I forget her name. Their names remain the same but the actors are always new
Christie Brinkley in the red car scene, is so iconic that it has been parodied in many tv shows, such as Family Guy and The Goldbergs, and in commercials, she also reprises this role in 1997's National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation.
Has to be one of the only eighties movies where they have their seat belts on.
It was a running gag, cuz only nerds or anal-retentives wore seatbelts in the 80s.
Fun fact: At 12:55 they are standing at the Vista Overlook off Schnebly Hill Road, and the village in the distant backround in the valley is Sedona, AZ. I can't figure out how they were able to get the Truckster to the scenic overlook area as the road getting there is EXTREMELY ROCKY in various spots and requires a high clearance four wheel drive vehicle.
I was thinking the same thing, very familiar with Schnebly Hill Rd
It was cool seeing you two recognize Magic Mountain, Colossus and Revolution. I, too, "grew up" there and went there more often than any other amusement park, Disneyland included. I'll just add that European Vacation is worth watching, as well.
The son is great in The Breakfast Club.
"A dead person breathed on me!" - That gets me ever time.
Clarks rant is one of the funniest quotes in all movies. His “I think You’re all fucked in the head....” rant gets me still 😂
11:06 I never noticed his glasses🤣🤣🤣
As a roller coaster enthusiast, it was cool to see that you guys recognized Magic Mountain, and the rides there! Such a great movie!
Wonder if they noticed that "Rusty" is a few inches taller in the park scenes. I saw an interview with Anthony Michael Hall once & he said they had to reshoot all those scenes again 4 or 5 months later on and he grew taller in that time. Always thought that was a trip. LOL
The new vacation is Rusty taking his family back to Wally world like his dad did
yes, it's not a reboot - it's a sequel
Lol when you said "I hope they end up in front of a hotel or a motel".. I was so waiting for "or a hiday inn" lmao man these movies are great, so much nostalgia
It's so cool they went to Magic Mountain. Loved that place as a kid.
As an LA native, put a smile on my face with the simultaneous "Colossus"
A great John Hughes film! He actually did many 70s and early eighties movies, he helped write, he never got credit for.. Animal House, Caddyshack, Stripes, Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, and a few others.
National Lampoon's European Vacation was the next one. It's pretty great. There was one more called Vegas vacation which wasn't so good.
The red-headed mechanic was a famous drummer back in the 1960's and 1970's. Mickey Jones. You can see him playing drums in the old music video recorded for The First Edition with Kenny Rogers doing their song "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)". Also played drums for Bob Dylan, Trini Lopez, and Johnny Rivers.
this movie got weird memories for me lol, think this was one of the first VHS tapes I paused at certain frame with uuhmm mammaries? and had some fun before resuming lol
yea, no internet P back then :o
This was the first, then there was European Vacation, then Christmas Vacation, then Vegas Vacation. That's where I lose track. IMO, European was the weakest. I hear Vegas Vacation get a lot of criticism, but I laughed out loud at that one in the theater, several times.
I found Vegas Vacation a lot funnier than European by miles. I won't even speak of the sequel/remake Vacation that was about Rusty and his family. God that was terrible.
@@malcolmdrake6137 Sure! If I don't do it then, I'm liable to lose it.
there was another one called Christmas Vacation 2: Eddie’s Island Adventure, it’s garbage 😂
European had a couple good moments but it’s definitely the weakest out of the bunch. Vegas is the most underrated of the bunch I think
Vegas Vacation is an unofficial Vacation movie, as National Lampoon had no involvement in the production.
Vegas Vacation and European Vacation are also really good.
2 things: Vickie was also on Dharma & Greg. Mr. Wally was also the owner of the toy store on Home Alone 2.
Having grown up in Californias Central Valley and going to Magic Mountain a lot as a kid I immediately recognized the park when I saw this movie, which I did in the theater. Damn that makes me feel old.
This is the first, then European Vacation in 1986, Vegas Vacation in the early 90s right after Christmas Vacation. The children are completely different in every movie, and it's part of a running joke.
In the original ending, shown only at screenings, after learning the park is closed, they go to Wallys house and hold him hostage, never getting inside the park. Audiences stopped laughing by the end. So Ramis reshot the new ending you now see. It was done a few months later which is why Micheal Anthony Hall is taller in the ending. Dana Barron (Audrey) looks pale and quiet because as she told it, the reshot was done an a scorching hot day. They had to flim all the rides several times as well as that run to get everything right. It made her very sick which is why you don't see Audrey say or do much in the end.
I have only watched the first couple of minutes of your review so far, but in case you didn't catch it, the car salesman at the beginning is played by the future Johnny Rose from Schitt's Creek, Eugene Levy.
My favorite Vacation movie.. sets the stage for the ones to follow. The comedic bits in this one are so funny. Oh and those white shoes.. back in those days they would have been considered a total joke... fashion changes i guess?
Would LOVE to see y'all do Weekend at Bernie's!
Beverely D'Angelo made me go through puberty when I first saw this movie.
My personal favourites in the series go
1- Vacation
2- Christmas Vacation
3-Vegas Vacation
4- European Vacation
None of them are bad however some are better than others. Vegas is the underrated one of the bunch.
I did like the joke involving Rusty & Audrey.
This movie is a fantastic ride. And very realistic from the kids perspective. I love how Clark "looks" at the Grand Canyon. 12:37 Two bobs - thats it! We've seen it now!
1. They don't crush cars right away with a trade=in. They try to resell them.
2. Brinkley was Billy Joel's squeeze when this was made.
3. FWIW I prefer Beverly D'Angelo over Christi Brinkley anyway.
4. As usual John Candy killed it.
Each of these Vacation movies has a favorite scene for me. This one is when everyone falls asleep in the moving car.
This movie was adapted from a National Lampoon magazine short story called Vacation '58. Hilarious !
There are five total Vacation movies. NL's Vacation, NL's European Vacation, NL's Christmas Vacation and Vegas Vacation (which doesn't carry the National Lampoon tag) and the Ed Helms reboot Vacation.
There's an older movie with Chevy Chase - Jane Seymour called Oh Heavenly Dog. It's great. Always loved that movie.
Also there's a movie with Martin Short - Nick Nolte called "The 3 Fugitives" Love that movie too. Not a Chevy Chase movie, but it is comedic. Also the movie Captain Tom with Martin Short, Kurt Russell, &ary Kay Place. And of course the movie Splash with Tom Hanks, John Candy, & Daryl Hannah. 👍
Miss Chevy Chase. Love his movies. Great reaction.
I saw this in 1983 in the drive-in with a date that looked like Beverly De'Angelo. Let's have a time machine shall we, I want to go back.
Aunt Edna is Imogene Coca, a long time comedian. She and Sid Caesar did some crazy things on very early TV, "Your Show of Shows".
That was a classic. I rewatching it on HBOMAX last year. Great video guys 🙌
Yess! I love vacation! The running joke is that they have different actors for audrey and russ but the adult actors stay the same. I'm not the biggest fan of European vacation, but my absolute favorite is Vegas Vacation. We always called my dad Clark when on car trips 🤣.
With the Vacation reboot sequel I hope they could continue the traditional joke with Rusty’s sons being recasted. If they continue the film that is.
That only happened because Anthony Michael Hall was filming Wierd Science during production of European Vacation, Dana Barron was totally up for playing Audrey again, but they didn't want to have her come back, but a new actor for Rusty, so they decided to recast both
This was a childhoood favorite of mine; I must have watched it at least 40 times. It was great watching you react to it!
DEFINITELY a classic I watched as a kid. Love the reaction. European Vacation next please!!! I even live in a family where we reference lines from the first Vacation
You guys have slowly became my favorite channel to watch on RUclips...I'ma huge movie buff... especially from the 80s and 90s eras and I love watching you guys react to my favorite films..I'm a southern California guy and I've kinda put it together based on things you've said that you guys are too ....what part of socal if you don't mind answering that?? (Although I understand if you don't want to give out that info)....I live in Huntington Beach and am a cast member at Disneyland resort....but regardless, keep up the amazing content...
00:09:26 That’s James Keach as The highway patrolman who is married to Jane Seymour. Also the brother of Stacy Keach.
Was married to Seymour, they got divorced, but good call
He was great in Moving Violations starring Bill Murray’s brother John.
A wierd attention to detail in this movie is the hilariou spool scene. I lived in AZ for ten years, and it is a fact that un-temp controlled pools get unberably cold at night and unberablay hot during the day, to the point where I have seen with y own eyes reactions like Clark's.
Really, pools get unbearably hot?
@@Aeroldoth3 in Phoenix, pool temps in July and August are typically in the low 90s (not exaggerating)
The reason that the hotel pool was cold was because that hotel was actually in suburban Los Angeles (specifically Norwalk). It is actually impossible to have a cold pool in the low desert in the summer, Phoenix doesn't drop below 80°F at night for most of the summer
"You think you hate it now, but wait'll you drive it".
Clark Griswold - the last true family man. ^_^
Vibrating beds, roll up windows.... forgot about all of that when I was younger.
Guys thank you for reacting to one of my favs of all time! Love to see both of you react to “A Fish Called Wanda” 1988 comedy BANGER! I think both of you would find this movie awesome! It stars a lot of the Monty Python crew and Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline.
Fun fact. A Fish Called Wanda is the only movie *on record* to have killed someone in the theatre. The person laughed so hard they seriously died. Look it up 🤷♂️
'European Vacation' is hysterical too... Vegas Vacation and the one with Ed Helms you'll probably only watch once
I've been watching your videos and absolutely love them.
The moment when he punches Marty Moose still kills me. Can't stop laughing.
You mean Marty Moose
@@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110 Yes I do...lol
@@StCerberusEngel Ok
The Wagon Queen Family Truckster is the greatest vehicle in cinema history.
Great reaction, you two !!! Yeah, they might have used Six Flags in the movie (IDK, you are more familiar than me with the 1 in CA), but the name they used was actually referring to Disneyland (i.e. Wally World = Wally (for Walt) + [Disney] World). I think they did that so neither park could sue them.
That's crazy that those rides are still the same 40 years later.
2:02 Classic Chevy Chase... he checked the lock.
List of "Vacation" films:
Original Griswold Family
1. Nation Lampoon's Vacation
2. Christmas Vacation
3. European Vacation
4. Vegas Vacation
5. Vacation
(Adult Rus Griswold and his family)
6. Christmas Vacation 2
(Cousin Eddy got his own movie)
so glad you showed this movie i was 9 when this movie came out loved it. i liked Vegas Vacation then European vacation.
I still say that this is the best of the Vacation movies (X-Mas being a close second).
there's a guy who posted an old RUclips video and visited all the places the family went to in the movie!! its changed a lot tho!!😄😁✌🇺🇲
There is in addition to this National Lampoon's Vacation three other Vacation movies besides National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
There is the reboot of the this original as well as National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2 Eddie's Island, National Lampoon's European Vacation, and National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation.
that list of comedies is missing:
- Robin Hood - Men in Tights (1993)
- National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985)
This one, Christmas, and European are the best IMO. The reboot/sequel with Ed Helms also has some fun stuff.
The Christine Brinkley scenes are so funny haha. She is so beautiful in this movie.
I'd definitely get around to seeing Uncle Buck, it's a classic as well!
