I love how the mother keeps stopping Ralphie from rubbing the leg LOL
"frahgiiiiiiiileh, must be italian"
my fave line in the whole movie, i try to use it whenever i can in real life 🤣
Same
I do too lol the funniest part is people never laugh or reply. It just flies right over their heads lol

It says fragile goof ball
“The old man’s eyes boggled; overcome by art.”
I love how Ralphie keeps trying to touch the leg. 😂. I think he started puberty that day.
*FRA-GEE-LAY!*
It must be Italian!
😂😂😂
Guess he can’t spell, yet he reads the newspaper daily.
The leg lamp became one of the most famous movie props of all times,
I have it! My husband introduced me to this movie about 5 years ago and I made it a mission to get the lamp and I did after Christmas sale 75%off we display it every Christmas 😂😂😂
This is seriously one of the greatest movie scenes of all time. "FRA-GEE-LAY...must be Italian!" kills me every time
"It's, it's, it's indescribably beautiful!" Like he's seeing a sunset for the first time.
May Both The Mother and Father Rest In Peace!!!
Rest in peace Darren McGavin 5/7/1922 to 2/25/2006 and Melinda Dillon 10/13/1939 to 1/9/2023.
They were some of the best and funniest Christmas parents.
Both died the same age
Just the way the father goes all in with his overly emotional love for it, is what really sells this scene, and makes it more hilarious.
And he won it in a raffle because he completed a crossword puzzle. Its brilliant.
My favorite character in this movie is the Old Man. A Christmas Story Christmas has a wonderful tribute to him.
I agree. We love this movie.
"What is it?"
"I don't know."
"What's in it?"
"🤷♂"
Fra Gee Lay. It Must be Italian!
I love it
0:53
Best line of the movie
1:59 "yeah a statue" funny part I liked.
I love how the box says "this end up" and "fragile" but they just drop the box on the side.
Best scene. Darren was such a comedian. My brother bought the lamp and even said when he was showing us “it’s fra-gee-lay 😌”
lol epic!!
He could do drama too. Best example is The Natural
Must be Italian
At 2:46, for those wondering, back in the 1940's, which is when this movie takes place, houses didn't have a lot of electrical outlets which is why the Parkers have so many plugs in that one outlet. People were forced to plug many things into one outlet. People blew fuses and had to replace them quite often.
HENRY! HE DID IT AGAIN! GO OVER AND GIVE THAT NEIGHBOR OF OURS WHAT FOR!
I loved this passage from the book this movie was based on. It's still accurate even today in some ways...
"Our entire world was strung together with "extensions." Outlets in our house were rare and coveted, each one buried under a Bakelite mound of three-way, seven-way and ten-way plugs and screw sockets, the entire mess caught in a twisted, snarling Gordian knot of frayed lamp cords, radio cords, and God knows what. Occasionally in some houses a critical point was reached and one of these electrical bombs went off, sometimes burning down whole blocks of homes, or more often blowing out the main fuse, plunging half the town into darkness."
Older homes were built with the idea of people not needing more than a lamp or perhaps a radio, so rooms included just one or two receptacles at most. But our electrical needs have changed drastically since. That's why modern electrical codes now require outlets no more than six feet apart in new construction and rewired homes, to discourage this sort of thing. Unfortunately people still manage to crowd their outlets with dozens of plugs while ignoring the other empty ones.😁
I though it was a joke about how the Major Reward needed a lot a power to both turn on and turn on
I like how the crowd is curious men build up outside the window. 😆
One of my favorite takes is from the delivery guy at 0:15. I laugh so hard every time. Way to make the most of a small role🤘🏼
I love how the mom is trying to hide her face with her hair. LOL.🤣🤣🎄🎄
“Damn hell you say you won it?” Lol
Notice there is no credit for "Swede," the guy in the street who delivers that line. That's a cameo by Jean Shepherd, author of _In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash_, the book of stories the movie is based on.
@@GraniteGuythat’s actually the director Bob Clark. Jean Shepherd makes a cameo waiting in line during the Santa scene
Hats off to the composer who orchestrated this scene in such a way that made the lamp feel both omnipotent , but also erotic at the same time
It’s a major award! I won it! I love how the whole block crowded around to look
Not much to do in that small town...
The entire neighborhood was turned on. Lmao best part
The Greatest Scene in Cinematic History..............
FraGilAy!
Not even close.....
Agreed 🤭
‘ mindpower ‘ 🤘😎
In a time when house cleaning was primarily done by the wife, I love the father just throwing the packing materials and lid all over the house with no care. The poor Mom.
It's sad that more and more people want this back.
@@godzillavkkGo outside.
@@a-nus Make me
There are soooo many things I could write on but THIS time, I'll comment on how much attention to placed on even the "minor" characters: The man delivering the lamp to the house, Swede, the neighbor, commenting on the "major award" out in the street and the man at the Christmas tree stand (not in these particular scenes), etc. etc. Priceless material!
‘ Dad‘s not going to kill Ralphie’
I love how the crate says “His end up” 😂
Fra Gil LEE That must be Italian ?!?!?!?!?!?
Apparently Ralphie’s dad had never heard of the word “fragile” as a synonym for delicate, or “Handle With Care,” as the case would be.
"It, it, it, it's indescribably beautiful!"
"It reminds me of the 4th of July!"
@@nina1522/ I always use that line for everything/ some people get it and a few don’t, but I don’t care, just a cool line!
4:09 the guy next to the old man is a cameo appearance of the Director Bob Clark.
Ah, yes-the one whom Ralphie’s dad calls a nincompoop(that’s also a sign of this outdated era, another term you certainly don’t hear anymore, used to mean a dummy, of course.)
How about the part where he plugs the lamp into the outlet? When you stop to think about the effects used, it’s honestly mind blowing. It sparks, is flames up. Then he taps around on it and more sparks and arcing occurs. This has got to be the most realistic special effects used for n a movie probably in 5-10 years. Yes, it’s very subtle. That’s the point. Almost leaves me guessing if they actually did plug in 20 components into one socket.
Yes..lolol😂😂
Especially at Christmas..
I did it..and it would weight down..ugh!!!
The things you remember..
In real life, that extent of power outlet abuse is a case of an electrical fire accident waiting to happen.
Like a recipe for disaster.
best christmas movie ever
I still say “fruh-gee-lay, must be Italian” to this day whenever I see “fragile”.
I’m sure a lot of people my age do. Lol.
Ah! Fra-gee-lay! That must be Italian! 😆
RIP Melinda Dillon.
Ive wanted a full scale, one to one replica of this lamp since i was just a little kid lol
They do make them. Lol
And he mispronounced fragile and he thought it was Italian lol..
It was so funny 😆😆😆😆. The leg lamp...
“Hey you turned the light out!” Taps window.
YOU USED UP ALL THE GLUE ON PURPOSE!
@@donaldpaluga Lol! That’s my favorite line in the entire movie aside from “You’ll shoot your eye out!” and “Oh Fudge!” 😂
And also the mom exclaiming (upon “accidentally” destroying the lamp):”Jealous? Of a PLASTIC leg?! Are you kidding?! That is, by far, the UGLIEST lamp I have EVER seen in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!”
Actual footage of me when it's leg day at the gym
Imagine getting a wooden crate package in 2021? 🤣😂
If you order something big enough that might be what it comes in.
Ok?...
My father and I bought my mother the leg lamp from the Christmas Story House for this Christmas. It comes in a carboard box with the same font and writing on it. My plan is, on Christmas Eve, we'll be watching this movie, of course. Right before this scene plays, I'm going to go down the hallway and "change into pajamas", which means I'm actually putting on my coat and hat, going quietly out the back door with the box, and knock on the front door right after the scene starts. Then I will reenact the delivery guy to my father who will get the door, and I tote the thing into the living room. Good plan? I think so. She'll laugh her ass off.
Side note: I don't have any cigars so a cigarette hanging out of my mouth will have to do. Or maybe a joint.
I am invested now. Would like to know how this goes.
@@Tay20 I will update here after it happens. lol
@@Tay20 Tomorrow night is the night. I even bought a clipboard and wrote up a fake delivery receipt. Went and bought a cigar earlier today.
Yessssa!
When I was young, and everytime I watched this scene. Particularly at 3:51
I've always had a foreboding feeling that the Father won't be with them soon, from the way it was shot, with the Old man running out into the snow, as his family watches from the window, along with the peculiar piece of music that plays as he trudges through the snow. Now that the Sequel has been announced, and it's confirmed that Ralphie's father passed away. I can't help but think back to this scene.
Actually, he lives well into Ralphie‘s adult life and has even met the grandkids. He dies at the beginning of the sequel
2:00 Look at Ralphie being mannish 😂😂😂
The neighbor Svede who talks to the Old Man near the end of the clip was actually the director of the movie.
And the guy at the end of the line to see Santa is Jean Shepherd himself
That's my neighborhood I grew up as a kid.west side of cleveland,those were unforgettable days! Different times!it looked the same in the 80's
a major aword 😂
The Best Christmas present EVER !!! 😂
I had the privilege of playing Jean Shepard in the musical version in early December. I loved it.
I'm glad Amazon started using cardboard boxes rather than these wooden Italian boxes.
Thanks to that big evil baldy baby Jeff Bezos 👨🦲😂
"Fragile. It must be Italian!"
0:53 - 0:56 “FRA-GEE-LAY! It must be Italian!”
Yo still one my all time favorites
Same here!
0:55 When you sneeze and someone says “Salud”
Darren McGavin r.i.p
"FRAH-G-LAY!”
Look 👀 it must be Italian!
classic!!
For a man who can’t read English, even though he’s American.
RIP Melina Dillon 😢
I remember seeing this movie one summer on HBO I missed the first half of the movie and saw this part first it had me laughing so hard I never forgot that moment
1:49 just tells it like it is 😂
One of my neighbors asked me" how I got my other neighbors truck running ? " I said " mind power Jerry, mind power ."
“It’s a major award!”
Taken From A Christmas Story 2003 DVD (Disney Version)
How proud hr was to win it
That is by farthest thee nicest lamp, I have ever seen.
I have an ornament of the leg lamp that I always hang it on my Christmas tree.
Who’s here after her passing
I am.
Every year on Christmas, my family and I always watched this movie. Such nostalgic times.
Jack Nicholson was the first to be considered playing the old man, but he was too expensive to hire, so they went with Darren McGavin instead.
"Frah-gee-lay" or if you're Groucho Marx, "fra-gill-ee"- takes all kinds...
my dad has the leg lamp one of his friends got it for him ❤
I actually have one of these major awards as a side table lamp, and I love it.
Excellent movie I watch it every year
Kid starring as the father reaches up the skirt to touch (caress)the leg. 💥 lights turn on.
Melinda Dillon was so pretty in this movie.
She reminds me of my old boss. Same personality
2:53 I told you, you have too many plugs in one outlet.
"whiff of ozone" LHM 🛋️💡🤣
Thatd be my neighbors too. The second run out to adjust my lamp, theyre surrounding me. Its like "can you guys get outta here"
0:02 Mr. Parker is my favorite character 1:23
Insanely classic~
There’s a reason why I got a leg lamp ornament
Me too! And it lights up!
@@cynthianewton6891 same as mine!
@@spidertubethecoolguy2576 Brings back such wonderful memories of the movie (and the writer, Jean Shepard, who wrote the screenplay (based on his book with that as a chapter, which was based on his life growing up in the 40's) and who also narrated the film. Jean was on every night on WOR Radio in NY and our family would gather round the radio and listen to his stories -- he never scripted anything, apparently, just told stories with that magnificent voice. (This was in the late 60's/early 70;s) His books are well worth reading. The movie was based on a chapter or two from Jean's book "In God We Trust -- All Others Pay Cash".
They must have only had one single outlet in the whole living room...and power strips did not exsist yet either I guess.
my favorite movie
Box: [This End Up].
Laborers: [Zero Fs Given. Lay box down lengthwise].
Actually says HIS end up, and that joke went whoosh right over your head
yeah.. statue😏
That man sure embarrassed his wife.
There's just this duality🍎
3:56 that shot of the Old Man across the street and the others watching gim from the window. I always joke to myself that it would make a good screenshot from a horror movie
The lamp = Justin Tucker’s leg
Ralphie = Ravens fans
The mom = the Lions after the 2021 game
The guy comes up with a cigar in his mouth. Cigars are hard to smoke in winter.
Beautiful lamp.
The outlet sparked LOL
Rip Melinda Dillion
Ahhh the 1940s. What a great time to raise children. Post war. Such simple times. Houses were so affordable that the woman could actually stay home. A man didn’t have to go to college to have a decent paying job & he could actually afford a car & an entire house on a modest salary. No internet, so no power struggles with the kids being on electronics all the time. No television to shut off at night. No distractions. No passwords, no email, no points rewards from stores. People connected with each other. Such better times.
My grandpa, born in 1938, said this was one of the most accurate movies that portrayed what it was like as a kid during that time. And it did indeed seem simpler.
No television? Trust me if someone wanted to, I highly doubt there would be any major differences in staying on the couch watching the fucking box TV all day.
People connected with each other? I guess you’ve never been called a dirty Italian in the streets of NYC...
Afford a car? Most cars were about 800$, and boy if you knew how much that was back then you’d delete your comment.
embarrassing
This is one of the greatest lamps of all time
I just got a big gigantic electric bike, arrived today… that is exactly how I felt
Really good to put up😅
WHAT IS IT??? IT'S A MAJOR AWARD
His end up on the porch this end up inside the house lol can't believe I never caught it!
If Andy Warhol marketed it, like his "lips" couch- people would buy...I have wanted one since I first saw this delightful movie- and yep! I'd put it front and center- wouldn't surprise my neighbors at all...Frank Zappa's face graces our front door- wards off evil...Namaste
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 2022!
It reminds me of the 4th of the July lol
