National Lampoon's Vacation - Griswolds Arrive at Walley World

- The Griswolds finally make it to their destination in California, only to find that the park is closed for 2 weeks. Clark and Rusty have an epic race set to "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis.
I'm not even kidding-this actually happened to my family once, we drove 2 hours to get to an amusement park and it was closed for 2 weeks, we immediately thought of this movie!
Did you punch the sign that told you so?
Did your Father punch anything
Your father should have demanded that someone owed your family an explanation.
Clark had to deal with a dead dog, that old lady dying, the car breaking down and having to walk through a desert, and he finally arrived only to make a horrifying discovery, it's closed. I think anyone would lose their shit.
I think that's Harold Ramis or somebody.
This film is gold.

ok ok, based on your observations and rigorous scientific field research of disgust scales expressed by humanity with various controls, polls and representative sampling u may well indeed switch the two for my IMDB parallel scale by metal/material/waste/filth...
i take a bow and allow u to fill my position of MOVIE SCALE APPROPRIATION MINISTER
i pass the torch...
u could do a parallel scale of one to ten using lots of stuff:
sports figures
dogs
nations
races, people
all kinds of fun stuff...
or even mohs scale of hardness...
Back in 1983, Chariots of Fire wasn't even a 5 year old song. Makes this scene even more hilarious from a contextual point of view.
Yep, Vangelis wrote the song in 1980 for a movie by the same title.
That's funny, but these people in the movie drove accross the country from Illinois to California a 1 day and 5 hour drive to a closed amusement park 😀 🤣🤣🤣
My dad laughed his head off when this first aired on TV in the mid 80s and they started playing Chariots of Fire here
The Chariots of Fire piano theme will always be known for this Vacation scene, not for that other movie
@@JLvatron I always think of Old School when they're competing lol
Always loved the look on Clarks face when he lets rusty get away from him and then catches up lol
On July 19th 2023 I went to a local AMC theater to see a 40th anniversary showing of this movie. I had never seen the original “Vacation” on the big screen so I was looking forward to finally having the opportunity to do so. After twenty minutes of a blank screen, a theater employee walks into the theater to tell us the showing had been canceled because the projection system broke down. A fellow audience member said that it was only fitting because after all it was the Griswolds. Unbelievable.
Did he start with "Sorry folks"?
Sorry folks. The move’s cancelled. Didn’t the moose out front tell you?
@@johnfoltz8183We watched his movies. Bought his toys, his programs he owes us.
Did you get to see it eventually?
“Clark you’re scaring me...😳
“Don’t be scared!!😀
Haha
Clark, when you snap like that, it's much easier said than done.
You will be missed Harold Ramis
he did alot of stuff, GROUND HOG DAY to some is the most important movie ever meant, wrapped up in a romantic comedy... Directed by Harold Ramis
Harold Ramis was a great movie director
Stefan Tomasi he still is
@@ochs9266 he is lovingly remembered by us comedy movie fans
Sweet fancy Moses
For me as a kid watching this I was weak with laughter, possibly best comedy series ever made.
You may have been weak with laughter, but I'm sure your laughter was strong! (it took me 8 years to come up with that)
Scary Movie + Naked Gun are the closest thing to this franchise of gold 😂
Don't care what anyone says. They don't make good movies like this anymore. "What?!" 👊🏻
Ok boomer
@@christiankneupper7011 talk about disrespect! What he said was the truth!
@Julian Vega I really don't wanna argue, but this is true. And don't call me a boomer. Please?
@@christiankneupper7011Wow how original 🙄
What do you guys have against boomers?
The part when he punched the moose had me dying as a kid
Yep, me too. It's one of the funniest movie scenes of all time. Did you know that's the voice of Harold Ramis?
Me too even the distort voice
@@thebaxman4459 Yep, Ramis was a comedic genius. And he was here trying to make the moose sound like Goofy and Bullwinkle
@@Johnlindsey289 Yeah. The moose sounded like Goofy and Bullwinkle
It has me dying now and I'm 55 😂😂😂
This scene
And the one where they're all in the car, and Clark gives the "we're all gonna have so much f'n fun we'll be singing zip-a-dee-doo-dah out of our a-holes" speech
Are two of the greatest comedy moments of all time.
And they're both in the same movie!
The 80's was pure gold.
By the time most of us realized this, it was already gone.
"Roll em up" after the gunshots was pretty funny too 🤣
@@ShaithMaster What about when he almost ran over the Dog the man was Walking
Clark's face at 1:30, you can see his mind completely snap.
I'd argue that's 1:56, when he punches the moose; but I'm probably biased because that's my favorite part :)
😅->😀->😬->🤨
The cymbals on 0:50 always crack me up, lol.
Same lol
"Clark you're scaring me" best line in the movie.
Don't be scared!!!
@@stevengmovies3519he owes us right? Fucken A right he owes us 😂
Yep, both Chevys "Fuckin A Right!" deranged anger, and Beverlys response are note-perfect.
@@stevengmovies3519Don't be scared I just think someone owes us a exclamation
When I first saw this movie as a little kid and saw that the parking lot was empty, I figured maybe the park was closed and then I found out I was right. I remember another time when I watched this with my brother and my mom and Clark said, "First ones here," my mom said, "It's not that they're the first ones there, they're the ONLY ones there."
Oh man, this movie. My dad knows it all by heart, word for word. We quote this scene ALL THE TIME. It never gets old.
Also, fun fact: Marty the Moose is voiced by Harold Ramis.
Egon Spengler
0:14 - This is actually brilliant logic. 🤣🤣
This movie is still awesome, and this scene is pure gold
I am 40 years old and I’m still watching this this is the best movie in the 80s
It was 105 degrees when they filmed this scene at Santa Anita Park's parking lot. You can see Chevy's sunburn on his thighs when Rusty pulls away from him.
back in the 80's it was common to see guy's thighs, today he'd be covered below his knees that he wouldn't have been burnt!
I love this kind of info...
Beta MAX On the DVD commentary, they said the pavement was so hot, their shoe soles were melting.
@@5starcomment Me, too! (Do you ever wonder exactly where you were and what you were doing when they filmed a specific scene?)
...come to think of it, they all looked a bit burnt!
oh man...even to this day there is always that one father that does everything right and puts the best effort forth for the family vacation...and always forgets to call ahead...his reaction is justified, perfect, hilarious...and frighteningly accurate haha
Today knowing the park is closed before you go is as easy as checking the park's website!
I was thinking the same thing.
I live a few hours away from Six Flags Great America and amusement parks like that do repairs and cleaning during early spring before open season starts. A place like Walley World is always open because it's in a location where the weather is always warm. But them closing the park for repairs IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER?! I mean that's the busy season for ALL amusement parks! That's when the most people come and when the parks make the most money.
Clark probably could have called beforehand though.
Yeah but not making sense was the whole plot of this movie.
It's a movie
@@othatdude30 yeah and keep in mind the Internet wasn't made till years later at that time
Going on a Disney vacation but didn't know the parks were closed because of the corona virus. 😷🤣
Walley World just closed without telling them
@@stefantomasi4036 Other people knew the park was closed I’m pretty sure there would’ve been commercial stating it was going to be closed for a few weeks
@@zt1053 maybe they didn’t watch the commercial
You’ve got to be the dumbest
They would have called the park to find out opening hours, long before the days of the internet.
0:50 the cymbals crashing make it so much more epic
You are chicken
It doesn't get any better than this.
I can imagine my dad having this same approach to parking and running with my brother and/or myself. A very wise man, indeed. I love how the closing note of the music sounds like something from "Blade Runner", of course the same composer.
When he punched Marty Moose’s nose I laughed so hard 😆
1:45-2:18 - *Wally:* _[voiced by the late Harold Ramis]_ Sorry, folks. We're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's Favorite Family Fun Park. Sorry! _[silly laugh]_
_[Clark Griswold punches Wally's snout in disbelief and madness]_
*Ellen Griswold:* Clark, what are you doing?
*Clark Griswold:* We watch his program. We buy his toys, we go to his movies. He owes us. Doesn't he owe us? Huh? He owes the Griswolds, right? _Fuckin' A-right_ he owes us!
*Ellen Griswold:* Clark, you're scaring me.
*Clark Griswold:* Don't be scared! I just think somebody owes us an explanation, that's all. - R.I.P., Harold Ramis. R.I.P.
Nearly 2,500 miles of highway driving from the Windy City (Chicago) to the City of Angels (L.A.) for a fun-filled day to top off a family vacation, and THIS happens. All for nothing.
Not if Clark has something to do about this mess. No-no!
@@tyrese3745 And don't forget the Aunt dying
@@robertrodriguez787 I know that.
Walley
The sign was made into a Hallmark ornament back in 2014. Who voiced Walley on that ornament?
Little trivia for you. Despite the rides being shot at Magic Mountain, this whole opening shot in the parking lot is the parking lot of Santa Anita race track in Arcadia.... Camera facing south towards Holly and Huntington you can see the church in the background. Another side note, the Santa Anita race track was an internment camp during WW2. Another side note, George Takei was there as a child.
I wish we got to see more of Beverly D'Angelo running.
Lol yes.. That's for Sure! She had SOME BODY
@@JediWitness2wdym by that
He raised his arms perfectly to each beat. 💪🏻
One of the funniest movies scenes ever. I can't help but cry tears watching this
there is a follow up film
I used to completely lose it at this scene when I was a kid 😂
Now that they just closed down Disneyland for two weeks due to Coronavirus hysteria, this is the first thing I thought of.
Me too!
Haha same!!
I think of this when I know that all the arcades are closed because of the corona virus.
Yeah, but not Disney WORLD though. In fact. I’ve heard they’re doing a really good job at making people wear masks at all times.
See, comments like this is making vacation really unfunny.
Originally, they wanted to use Disneyland as the Griswalds' destination and have Roy Disney(Walt Disney's nephew and head of the Disney Corporation) in it. But when they told Disney about the movie and idea, Disney liked the movie concept but had to refuse because Disneyland is open 365 days a year, no exceptions! So the writers decided that the Griswalds' destination would be a fictional fun park called Walley World, a parody of Disneyland. And they had it be owned by a guy named Roy Walley, a parody of Walt and Roy Disney.
To top it off, they use Magic Mountain (Disneyland's rivals lol)
+Daniel Medina magic mountain is no where near there rivals if any thing universal is
+2007disneyhouse in terms of characters. Six Flags = Looney Tunes
Disney...well, Disney haha.
Six Flags = Looney Tunes and DC Comics. Universal has universal movies and all the classic horror stuff but also Harry Potter (Warner Bros owned). And Disney parks, have Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and Disney characters.
Knots Berry Farm is close to Disneyland.
Non ci posso credere!!!! Questo film l'ho visto da bambino un Capodanno e poi in Italia non l'hanno mai più dato... L'ho cercato per anni ma non sapevo il titolo... Ora che l'ho ritrovato ..............che figata!!! Una scena epica!!! Grazie a chi l'ha messa su RUclips!!
idem! Pensa che per ritrovarlo, ricordandomi proprio questa scena in particolare, ho cercato in google "Cheavy Chase Disneyland" :)
I can understand Clark losing it. They endured a lot of pain and suffering to get all the way to Walley World and when they arrived, it seemed like it was all worth it but then found out that the park's closed. That would really piss you off! And for Clark this was the final straw.
The look on Clark's face between 1:30 and 1:35, as well as him saying that Marty Moose owes them for being such loyal patrons, is a classic example of advanced celebrity worship syndrome, which is where fans think that they can control the celebrities they worship.
Yup.
He does owe them because they went on this terrible trip where there was a lot of bad things happening on the trip as well!!
@@skywalkerorder2170 Actually he does not owe them a thing.
If only they had in the Internet in 1983.
I think you mean the world wide web, as technically the internet did exist in 1983.
Yeah but not for information about fun parks being open or closed.
@@jackson5116 Yeah, but I think only for the rich.
Good point about the Internet
then they'd _truly_ be miserable.
1:30 That expression of total disbelief is so insanely funny!
It's the moment he's totally about to lose his shit.
Just the look on clarks face is worth the whole movie. His eyes are hilarious....
LOL the voice of the moose as if it's no big deal. And especially that "abnoxious" "Sorry!!" and laugh at the end
R.I.P. Harold Ramis
If only walley world were a real place. I would go there every year.
wal-mart...
+NES flashback it is a real theme park, not sure which state
+NES flashback in short shorts too?
+Brandon Hanson Six Flags Magic Mountain near LA.
+Alex Batey dude. I've already said it. That's where they FILMED the movie. After the movie, they made a real Walley World, and John Candy(who played Laskey)was asked to come for the opening day, but his price was too expensive. jeez
Ah, such a childhood classic!
Happy Father’s Day Clark griswold
Miss ya already Mr. Ramis
This has made me infinitely more grateful for the internet
man...I remember this movie ...I must`ve been 14 or so......Can`t help to feel moved and touched !
I love Clark - he's just like me. I have a long fuse and patience fixing something (my generator blew up over something cheap $500 later). Christmas Vacation with the switched outlet - "What the..? What the HELL!?!
Several situations I've been in. I won't stop until something is fixed or a job is done. I will pay my last cent for parts. "He owes us. Doesn't he owe us...?"
And to think I used to enjoy going on family vacation trips when I was a kid.
"We watch his program.. we buy his toys, we go to his movies, he owes us! Huh, doesn't he owe us, he owes the Griswolds right, FUCKIN A' RIGHT HE OWES US! 🤣🤣
I like the music as they run towards the entrance of the park, then they're like aww shucks man, the last thing we need is more bad luck, so he gives the moose a good punch in the nose which is the scene I laughed at, then he hijacks the security guard & defies his own bad luck, the Griswalds do want to go on every ride in the park! & why not?! I love this movie!!!
Welcome to Disney World people
Summer Vacation time!! I own this movie on bluray and I'm ready to rewatch this since it's summer lol
I’d like to imagine a staff member watching them run and skip all the way to the entrance, only to find out it’s closed.
Possibility
Never get tired of this movie
My son (7) and I just watched this and I'm not even kidding- he said with a straight face, "why didn't they just Google to see if they were open before they left?" A part of me died 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can see my kids saying something like this.
That reminds me of when I watched Borat with my grandma and there was a part where Borat was left with 17 cents to get gas. My grandma said, "17 cents was a lot more back then." I gave her a stern look and said, "It's 2005. I don't think 17 cents could buy a lot of gas then."
We’re the Griswolds, we deserve it! Somebody owes us an explanation! Let’s go!
its GrisWALDS
@@getbusyliving144 its misspelt throughout the entire franchise
i love this scene and i love the series
Christmas Vacation and this one are the best. European and Vegas weren’t very good.
This is the best part of the movie when I saw it as a youngster i died from laughing when Chevy punched the moose's nose in & loses his mind, brilliant! Genius! Bravo thanks 4 sharing
Always remember this for my mother and brother cry laughing at this point in the movie...Classic stuff
Me and my mother love this movie... my mother has shown me 80s and 70s movies for a long time and this one stuck around alot in my childhood. The funny thing is I've always wanted to go to Disneyland since I was born but I live in Australia so it was never possible for us. I am now 16 years old and me and my mother have been saving up enough money to go soon and I pray I get to go before in 18 and my childhood innocence has disappeared. I hope I get to do this amazing run with her to Disneyland as it's not only my dream but it is also hers. I just hope the park isn't closed for 2 weeks when we do get there.
Whomever can resist exploding after hearing that laugh has the patience & restraint of St. Peter himself.
I love how in the digital era of HD you can tell Wally World is just a big picture 5 meters away from them! xD
I've always loved this part. Lol
I'm going to Magic Mountain in about two weeks. I can't wait to ride the Twisted Colossus and the Revolution.
😁
"Sorry folks we're closed for 2 weeks to clean & repair amerrica's favorite family fun park. SORRY! HUU HUU HUU!" LOL what a weirdo.
Your profile pic fits perfectly with that😂😂😂
lol
That's Harold Ramis doing the voice
Passive aggressive moose
@@casmo87 Sweet fancy Moses
How Mighty No. 9 backers felt on release day
Trying to go anywhere in March 2020
I can’t wait to get out of this 2020. It has been a very rough year
He owes the Griswolds, right? Fuckin’-A right he owes us!
That movie is a big part of my childhood ❤️
I love this movie so not trying to burst a bubble but closing a park to maintain and clean it during the most busiest season of the year (Summer) would never happen. Even if a ride broke and killed someone they would only close that specific ride. This was a hilarious and perfect part of the movie and even I wouldn't change a thing knowing that.
not to mention all the rides seemed to be working flawlessly when they went on them.
I swear to God I hear that laugh in my head literally every time I pull up to a store that’s supposed to be open
@1:31 This is how I feel when I pull up to a fast food restaurant minutes before closing time and there are people still inside but the door is locked.
After seeing this movie I alway park near the exit as a tribute to Clark Griswald. The wife hates when I do it.
Anthony Michael Hall and John Candy in the same movie? YESSSS
Even though I've seen this movie a million times, I still get bummed when they arrive and the park is closed. That feeling must be the worst if you were to experience that
0:35-1:18
Me when I arrive to the entrances of any and all parks at Disney World.
The timing at :51 and :52 is PRICELESS....Ahuu Ahuuuu
Me and my two grandmothers and dad and little brother went to the train museum yesterday and it was closed and my dad said,” if this was Wally World i would be very Mad”
I just couldn’t remember till watching this the film would play the theme to Chariots of Fire
I went to Cedar Point on a rainy day once. The rain stopped, after everyone either didn't show up (weather report) or left for the day. Halfway through the day our clothes were dry and they opened the rides. I rode like a king, did the same ride 8 times without having to get out of the seat. It was the log splashdown ride. I got wet.
It takes an emotional comedian to make a scene in an empty parking lot with just his family and the comical security guard who everyone knew the actor as John Candy. I may like his movies but his legacy carries on.
The most memorable thing about this movie will always be the car.
This happened to me and my son last summer lmao this is my favorite movie of all time 🎥🥰
"He owes us doesnt he?, fucking A he owes is!!!" Hahaha
California Theme Parks in 2020 in a Nutshell.
LOL hahahahahaha Clark punching the moose is GOLD
This will never stop being funny ,😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my Favorite Family Movie.
The pre-Little Miss Sunshine and Johnson Family Vacation.
FUCKING A RIGHT HE OWES US!
The older I get the funnier this movie gets. Being a dad makes it funnier too.
What’s funny is he thought he was first ones here lol
Just left school for summer today I'm gonna play this song as soon as I get off my bus!
1:14 has cracked me up for 30 years
I first time I saw this as a child and he punched the Mascot thing, I almost shit myself in bed from laughter
Will be the first ones fighting to get out because we're the Griswolds😂😂
1:02 makes me laugh every time 🤣
Love all of these classics.
