@@IvyBrooksHobkin I don’t think the part where jay bolted was scripted, i think he literally wanted to get out of there This isn’t rich just destroying an unmanned set or fake acting for humor, he was ACTUALLY throwing trees and things and destroying the set... while most of it may have been scripted i actually think that moment at least was so real that jay wanted to get out of Rich’s way.
@@andrewgwilliam4831 Christmas Vacation 2 is a comedy in the same sense that Funny Games is a home invasion movie. I'm convinced that the motivation for making it is to punish us for liking family comedies.

As a Mexican, I can confirm that our version of Santa Claus doesn't live in the clouds with Merlin and all the other things. The filmmakers made it all up. It's a typical Mexican movie from the 50s to 80s that tended to have everything and the kitchen sink in them and a long running time.
43:23 - A poor old woman falls down the stairs, that's not funny! Glad to see the RLM boys would NEVER EVER laugh at the elderly being frail and weak and being in accidents!
+MatthewTreadstone We have a copy of A Christmas Story on DVD where I work, and we put it on every Christmas in the customer waiting area. People really seems to hate it. Every now and then, when I'm having a bad day, I put it on regardless of the season. Watching the customers faces, as they realize it is playing in July, gives me a sort of sadistic joy.
I have nothing but respect for that movie. It's whimsical, full of interesting visuals and a cozy christmas-y feeling. It comes from a different, perhaps more "innocent" time where you could have a simple "good children gets rewarded" story. Meanwhile Xmas vacation 2 is a joyless endeavour
"Fuck! Every Christmas! Every FUCKING Christmas!" The build up to the ultimate punchline that is Rich Evans' major flip-out is genius, it brings me tears of laughter, sympathy and joy. I love you, Rich Evans! I love you RLM!
I've watched this video more times than I can count and I never noticed before that when Jay laughs at the monkey being smarter and Jack turns to look at him with pure disdain. It's a beautiful moment.
"3 2 3 4, 4 2 3 and! These men are pawns. I put a price of 20,000 dirham on their heads. Next, they will be hailed as the true messenger of God! They were just a couple of songwriters, who came to Ishtar, to break into show-business."
I can't believe one of the top 20-40 comments doesn't hightlight what a fucking good zinger "Maybe it reads better" is 23:13 . Jack's deadpan delivery is perfect and the delayed reaction is muy bueno
It helps when people care. That's what makes the best BOTW movies--clearly only the Tommy Wiseaus or Jon De Harts caring, and everyone else involved not giving a crap. I get the vibe the RLM guys put the effort in at least!
From what I've read, RLM was getting popular and she didn't really want that sort of attention, so she stood down. Fair enough, and she's probably fine living her own private life.
+AlkisenSuper Yes, Jack is underrated! I think he has his own kind of contagious laugh because it definitely gets me a lot of the time, and he's just plain funny to watch! I don't understand why people don't like him. I rank him right up there with Mike, Jay, and Rich. Also, Josh and Jessie deserve more love too!

Jay: "Hey, Mike." *unwraps glock" "It's a Christmas miracle..." *cues droning dreary music as the color palette starts fading* Mike: "Wait! You didn't load enough bullets..." *music picks back up as it cuts to rich destroying the the tree*
I'm imagining a teenage Jack Quaid watching this episode, fresh off a visit with his uncle, and deciding he had to become famous enough to be a guest on Best of the Worst.
Mike clearly hasn't reached his final form here because he agrees with Jack's opinion that a poor old woman falling down the stairs isn't funny

This is by far my favorite BotW episode. Rich laughing so hard he has to walk away muttering “I hurts… I hurts” was the best Christmas present ever.

@@gworfish well he is a carpenter at the very least, so it's possible.

"Take off you pants." from the Incredible Instant Adoring Boyfriend is still one of my favorite moments in RLM history.
Shame she left
Yeah she really does have a sweet and gentle sounding voice, quite the contrast from the rest of the crew lol
Was she Mike's wife? AA sponsor?

Not counting the unlicensed rip-offs, there were also five Death Wish films.
Anyone else love how Mike is such a stickler and serious about choosing the best movie? He's very serious about it haha he's always telling people how to pick and reminding them of the rules
now he's the contrarian asshole, picking the worst stuff just to piss off everyone else lol

the sound of rich evan's inescapable screeching laughter haunts my nightmares
That Rich guy has the greatest laugh ever!..
Rich's laugh is fantastic, but Jess's laugh genuinely makes me smile every time I hear it. Just the unbridled peals of laughter are so sweet and funny.
It's possibly the greatest laugh of all time!
a2zme It's stylistically designed to be that way. It's just his way of having the best possible time he can.
Its unusual, and funny. However, he tends to overuse it and keeps going and going well after it should end. Sorry, jmo!
I love how youtube decided to pick christmas vacation as the movie to have an ad to buy it.
Because _Elves_ is up for free and _Mexican Santa Claus Vs The Devil: Dawn Of Dry Ice: The Cardona Cut_ is in the public domain.
I just watched Christmas vacation 1 as a family tradition
now time to watch this is as my personal tradition.
We all know Rich Evans' laugh is great, but Jay's off-camera laugh at 18:26 is pretty awesome as well..
That three movie set included “Santa Claus conquers the Martians” and we’re never gonna see it now.
I wouldn't be surprised if one day they grab the film on it's own and watch it not realizing it was on that collection..
I think they tried to avoid movies that have been on famous mystery science theater episodes, which that film was.

The unkindest cut of all is that in the "films featured" section of the credits, Christmas Vacation 2 doesn't make the list. 53:31
Rich Evans' laugh brings me Christmas joy!
Somehow the movie about neo nazi master race elves
Is LESS racist than a movie titled simple "Santa Claus"
I didn't even think about that until now. You get one internet point.
Jay: "Hey, Mike." *unwraps glock" "It's a Christmas miracle..."
*cues droning dreary music as the color palette starts fading*
Mike: "Wait! You didn't load enough bullets..."
*music picks back up as it cuts to rich destroying the the tree*
The funniest episode of BOTW. I could not stop laughing. Thank you. Sorry you had to watch Christmas 2
"Well let's talk about Christmas Vacation 2!"
