    If you noticed the entire family was facing Clark with their backs to us, there's a reason.
    They were each wearing signs with the dialogue for Clark's tirade.
    He was reading it off them! 😂

    Great reaction like always. I always laugh so hard when i see this movie and that quote "Hallelujah! Holy sh*t! Where's the Tylenol?" Omg its hillarious.
    There are some fun-facts about this classic. The Griswolds’ neighbor’s house is the same house Murtaugh and his family lived in all the Lethal Weapon movies. The houses on this street are on the Warner Brothers Studios back lot. The house front from Bewitched and The New Gidget appears in the home movie that Clark is watching in the attic.
    In the scene when the police storm into the Griswolds’ house, the song “Here Comes Santa Claus” sung by Gene Autry is used for the background music. Randy Quaid (cousin Eddie) is the third cousin of Gene Autry. According to Randy Quaid, many of cousin Eddie’s characteristics (most notably the clicking of the tongue) were based off a guy that Quaid knew from when he grew up in Texas years ago who had similar traits.
    When Clark is in bed trying to read the People Magazine with sticky fingers from the tree sap, the person shown on the cover of the magazine is Producer Matty Simmons. And the scene where the cat bites on the Christmas lights cord and gets electrocuted was nearly cut from the movie. Prior to the first test screening. the studio execs wanted the scene taken out, fearing that it might offend some viewers, but producer Matty Simmons begged them to leave the scene in, and they eventually gave in to his request. After the first test screening, the test audience had scored the cat electrocution scene as the No. 1 favorite scene throughout the entire movie.
    You need to watch the whole saga
    Keep up the good work.

    9:30 yes is Johnny Galecki from The Big Bang Theory, the late 80s early 90s Roseanne series & The Conners 2018 series. One of the jokes of the National Lampoons Vacation franchise is the recasting of the actors for the children with Galecki being the 3rd actor to play Russ, with actor Ed Helms in the 2015 Vacation movie Playing Russ as a father taking his family on a cross country trip like in the original movie.

    Normally I would say you should watch the first Vacation movie, primarily to get a feel for the characters, but if you already saw a later one, that base is kinda covered.
    Also, you should watch the GotG holiday special, since it's the holidays, and you're not too far off from reacting to GotG volume 3, which is canonically after the special. ✌️😁

  • @alicestevens8291
    @alicestevens8291 2 часа назад

    In previous movies? I don't think so but anyone can feel free to correct me. The theme is usually the Griswold's aka The Typical American Family is vacationing somewhere else (Wallyworld, the UK, so on) and are themselves problem where the twist here is the vacation to their home (but they are still there thus the problem is as well). The idea was that it is established that Clark is unlikable jackass thus naturally his neighbors who seem to be a bit bougie are already fed up with him. Kind of outlining that he rubs people the wrong way with his snarky attitude.
    The first movie was worth it or at least in this vein if you will though the humor would be a bit dated. I can't recall if the European was worth it not. I remember the intro being hilarious fun. What I like about this one is the no nonsense approach versus the typical holiday movie glitter. And subsequent message about expectations. It's a nice break from the norm imo.

    This comedy is the third and best episode in the “National Lampoon's” series about the Griswold family.
    Slapstick and satire elements harmonize magnificently. And situation comedian Chase is in top form.
    As Jax rightly points out, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ star Johnny Galecki had one of his first roles as son Rusty in this turbulent piece of fun.
    All the hilarious scenes (Cousin Eddie empties the camper van's toilet into the sewer, the cat “evaporates” under the armchair, etc.) are designed to make you laugh out loud.
    There's nothing to question. Just enjoy and have a good time...
