I’ll never tire of the power plant worker turning on the auxiliary power. Perfectly synched with the music. It’s an insignificant detail but it gets me every time
The only movie I ever watched with my dad in the theater. We watched every year after and then I continued it with my own kiddos. I lost my dad this April, but this will always be our movie
Yes, let's say Randy Quaid, aka Uncle Eddie, was just having fun with the role. Just a quality actor that is in no way, shape or form completely insane.
There's an 80's movie called "Better Off Dead" starring John Cusack that is one of my favorite 80's comedies. Christmas Vacation has been an absolute staple in my life since it came out.
Definitely Fletch! They're a great blend of Chevy's straight and comedic acting. Caddyshack is also a great suggestion. It's a classic comedy that everyone who likes comedies should see, if only for the scene between Chevy and Billy Murray.
@ Have you seen the Caddyshack documentary? They talk about much those two hated each other, and since that was their only scene together they just improvised the whole thing in just a take or two to get it over with 🤣
@@maxoutkast Haven't seen the documentary, but I think I heard somewhere that they didn't like each other. I think I've also heard that the scene was thrown together over lunch during filming, and probably largely improvised like you said, because nobody realized that their two biggest stars didn't have a scene together.
@ That sounds familiar actually. I remember something like that because they obviously didn’t want to do it, but it needed to be done. Check out that documentary if you can. It’s extremely well done and features a lot of the cast and crew.
I have watched so many reviews of people watching this movie, and NOBODY catches and reacts to Eddie smashing the light bulbs that Clark puts down on top of the other bags of dog food! lol Man, that's one of my favorite parts! lol Great reaction though to the rest of it!
Rusty played by Johnny Galekcki was Leonard from Big Bang Theory tv show also was David in Roseanne tv show. Doris roberts the one with the RED HAIR was RAYs mother in Everyone Love Raymond, she was also in tv show Remington Steel. Aunt Bethany is played by Rae Questel who voiced Betty Boop, and Olive Oyl. Margo is ELiene from tv show Seinfeld, she also was in tv show VEEP. Eddie older kids VICKY & DALE whom he talks about not being here doing jobs,
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies because it is a lot more grounded than some other movies. It's over the top at times, but the foundation of someone wanting to have the perfect Christmas for their family is very realistic. This movie is so quotable and even the slapstick parts are great. I always laugh hysterically when he goes sledding and I have great memories of my grandpa always having a full on belly laugh when the turkey comes out dry and everyone is eating it like jerky. Such a great movie.
Chandra & Jordan, you’re adorable! So fun, wholesome and entertaining. Great reaction to the film. Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re all well & wishing your family a great Christmas and entire holiday season.
Hi Chandra & Jordan, great to see you both enjoying this classic Xmas comedy. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to you & your family !! Season`s Greetings to your other Subscribers & commentators !! :)
If you don't know Danny Kay, you ABSOLUTELY should react to The Court Jester. An incredible movie from back in the days when actors really had to have talent. 😃. For another Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm is one of his that is similar. Merry Christmas y'all.
"You surprised?" "Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now." Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: Clark (Chevy Chase) uses thirty words to describe his boss. Final Bow Fact: Final film of Mae Questel, whose film career began in 1930, as the voice of Betty Boop. Casting Notes Fact: Former National Lampoon group member Nicholas Guest, who plays Todd, is brother to actor and former Lampoon and SNL actor Christopher Guest. What Script Fact: Beverly D'Angelo improvised grabbing Chevy Chase's crotch when the SWAT team held up the house. She later said she did it on only one take, on the off chance it could make the film's final cut, which is what happened. Location Location Fact: The house in which the neighbors, Todd (Nicholas Guest) and Margo (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), live in is the same house where the Murtaugh family lived in all four Lethal Weapon movies. The houses on this street are on the Warner Brothers backlot. Signature Joke Fact: After Clark Griswold unsuccessfully attempts to demonstrate his handiwork with the house Christmas lights to his family, he asks Rusty (Johnny Galecki) to help him check all the light bulbs again. Rusty looks at his bare wrist, pretending to have a watch, and excuses himself. Looking at a bare wrist and pretending to have a watch is one of Chevy Chase's trademark gags.
Another fun fact: When Clark is roasting his boss, the rest of the cast is holding cue cards with the insults on them, and Chevy read them off at random. "Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?!"
More fun facts - After failing to get the Christmas lights to work one last time, Clark Griswold takes his frustration out on the plastic decorations in the front yard. Chevy Chase actually broke his pinky finger while punching Santa Claus. He resorts to kicking and clubbing the decorations after that until the director yelled "cut" as to not ruin the take. He went to the hospital shortly afterwards and they bandaged up his finger (which is why you see Clark wearing gloves and/or mittens at different points throughout the film, until the finger was healed enough to be shown). When Clark and Cousin Eddie (Randy Quade) are talking in the living room, they are drinking eggnog out of Walley World mugs. Walley World was the Griswolds' destination in the original 'NP: Vacation'. When Clark is in bed, trying to read People Magazine with sticky fingers from the tree sap, the person shown on the cover of the magazine is director Jeremiah S. Chechik. When the police storm into the Griswolds' house, the song "Here Comes Santa Claus," sung by the late Gene Autry is used for the background music. Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie) is the third cousin of the late Gene Autry. When Clark is first greeted by his boss Mr. Shirley (Brian Doyle Murray - comedian Bill Murray's real life brother), Clark is drinking coffee out of Lonely Tunes Taz coffee cup, Miriam Flynn (who plays cousin Catherine - Eddie's wife) voices Taz's mom on the family animated series 'Tazmania'. This movie has four Oscar nominees: Juliette Lewis, Diane Ladd, Randy Quaid, and William Hickey.
There is a literal treasure trove of classic 80’s movies you should react to, not all are pure comedy, but all must see. 1)Pretty In Pink 2)Sixteen Candles 3)Weird Science 4) Night of The Comet 5)CaddyShack Just to name a few.😊
The neighbours are “yuppies”, the 80s term for DINK (double income no kids). The joke is that they are stereotypical annoying yuppies. It doesn’t translate too well these days however. 😊
Yuppies are still real in this day and age alright, people just don’t typically call them that anymore. Upper middle class snobs who hate getting dirty and the outdoors and look down on other people. Basically it’s people I hate, along with right wing conservatives and anti climate change government officials and corporate stooges of course!!!
The parts of Russ & Audrey are casted by different actors every Vacation film that came out. Like James Bond, when they cast different people to play the same character.
Thank you for your reaction to this movie. People forget that this is a non-thinking comedy. I have seen this movie so many times and always find something new
I’m not sure if you all are Big Bang theory fans.. and I’m also not sure if you’ve noticed while watching the movie, but Russ is actually played by Johnny Galecki (Leonard) in this one.
This is one of my favorite holiday movies. The scene Todd asks Clark "Hey Griswold, what are you going to do with a tree that big?" Clark responds "Why don't you bend over and I'll shoelw you". What Clark says next is hilariously funny. Simply a Christmas classic.
Thank you for watching it in order, many reacters skip to this one and don't get to experience the full dread effect of seeing cousin Eddie. This is an iconic Christmas movie.
I highly recommend " it's a wonderful life" after watching I realized where every other movie ever got inspiration from, even scenes from Scorsese's "Goodfellas". ❤
We watch this movie every year, but it took my young son to notice the police pointing the pews at the little girl's head because the focus was on the hand on Clark's wee. LOL
The actresses portraying Audrey was replaced twice. Dana Barron was in NLV, then again for NLEV. Child actress, Dana Hill, was in European Vacation. She had serious health issues due to type 1 diabetes. She struggled with setbacks, but her health continued to fail, and she lost her battle in the mid 1990's.
Actor Johnny Galecki plays Clark's son Rusty. Today he is best known for his role as Darlene Conner's boyfriend David in the TV sitcom Roseanne and as Leonard in the TV sitcom Big Bang Theory
The only movie I ever watched with my dad in the theater. We watched every year after and then I continued it with my own kiddos. I lost my dad this April, but this will always be his movie
Too many reactors go straight to this during the Holidays and when "Eddie" shows up... "Who's THIS guy?" Worth it. Was it not? I laughed so hard at the "fires up the microwave" line in the theater, I almost "soiled my armor."
There's a scene fairly early in the movie when they have the ending of "It's a Wonderful Life" playing on tv. It's such a good movie. One of the all-time best Christmas movies. Also, the small bit where Clark has an issue with the newel post on the stairway being loose was likely a nod to that movie where it was also a minor nuisance - except Clark solved it by chainsawing it off altogether. lol Oh, and this is the only 'Vacation' movie not to have "Holiday Road" in it.
Jordan gave it away. You guys are watching it's a wonderful life next week. He had a sheepish quick grin when Russ was watching it's a wonderful life when the grandparents arrived. Also rush's Johnny Galecki from The Big Bang Theory
More 80’s comedies to check out Police Academy, Weekend At Bernies, See No Evil Hear No Evil, National Lampoons European Vacation, Cannonball Run, Fletch, Adventures In Babysitting, Crocodile Dundee, Great Outdoors. Just a few to get you started 😊
It Made Our Day,Just To See You Both Do a Reaction To Our Favorite Christmas Movie, Super Funny 😂😂😂, Chevy Chase Is The Best 💯 As Always See You Both at The Next One,Katy & Otis Happy Holidays ⛄❄️ Everyone
This feels like such an evergreen Christmas movie. It's genuinely relatable and a big part imo is that Clark is *wayyyy* more sympathetic in this especially compared to the original Vacation. He's still too ego-driven, a bit of a horndog, and an idiot, but unlike the first where he just comes off as callous, uncaring, and literally cheating on his wife and holding people at gunpoint, here he's legitimately just trying to do "man of the house" things for the purpose of orchestrating the perfect family get-together. He actually feels like he's doing this for his family and not just himself; there's actual heart while being just as funny if not even moreso.
The other hit 80’s comedies are “fast times at ridgemont high”, “Ruthless People”, “Airplane”, “Police academy”, “Stripes”. Honorable mention “outrageous fortune” a Bette milder comedy.
Chevy was known for his falls. He did it quite a bit on SNL too. Another good Chevy Chase movie is Foul Play. It also stars Goldie Hawn. It's one nobody seems to suggest for reactions.
In Vermont you can go to the forrestry department and pay for a permit to cut down a tree and haul it out of the woods yourself! The permit fee is only $5.00 too. The only problem is the forrestry department designates areas in the state to harvest trees, and those areas are NOT at the side of any easily accessable roads...expect to hike a fair bit to find a suitable tree...and don't forget your saw!!!
Of course, this is the same house as in all the _Lethal Weapon_ movies. The actor playing the daughter in this one (Juliette Lewis) is best-known for _Natural Born Killers_ with Woody Harrelson and _Cape Fear_ with Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte. The actor playing the son in this one (Johnny Galecki) is best-known for _The Big Bang Theory, Roseanne_ and _The Conners._ Uncle Art (E.G. Marshall) was President of the United States in _Superman II._
everyone freaks out when Eddie says well be taking it with us when we leave next month.... remember its like december 22 or 23 when Eddie came. So its like 1-2 weeks he stays.
Amazingly Mr.Shirley went from renting Clark tents in 1983 to becoming his boss in 1989! 😂
I always wondered how his voice became so gravely in the 6-7 years between movies
Vacation came out in 83 not 82
He was the boss of a caddy for a golfer who was the spitting image of Clark in 1980.
@@stevesheroan4131 He eventually goes on to be a mayor of a small town in Pennsylvania.
@ And has his life saved by the groundskeeper from his old golf job.
I’ll never tire of the power plant worker turning on the auxiliary power. Perfectly synched with the music. It’s an insignificant detail but it gets me every time
My 85yo grandmother full on belly laughed @ that part in the theatre.
aunt bethany was the voice of betty boop, even at her age you can still hear it
And Olive Oyl.
They always recast the kids. It is a running gag that each Vacation movie has different actors playing Rusty and Audrey.
They even make a joke about it all in Vagas Vacation. "There is something different about you Russ"....
Clark says something to the effect of: The kids are growing so fast, i barely see them n when i do i barely recognize em!
And Rusty is somehow quite a bit younger in this movie lol
One of the best and funniest Christmas comedies ever.
Even 35 years later, it's still ultra-funny and absolutely worth seeing.
The only movie I ever watched with my dad in the theater. We watched every year after and then I continued it with my own kiddos. I lost my dad this April, but this will always be our movie
@@LN-Lifer I am so sorry for the loss of your father.
Yes, let's say Randy Quaid, aka Uncle Eddie, was just having fun with the role. Just a quality actor that is in no way, shape or form completely insane.

There's an 80's movie called "Better Off Dead" starring John Cusack that is one of my favorite 80's comedies. Christmas Vacation has been an absolute staple in my life since it came out.
Better Off Dead is my favorite 80's teen comedy! Nobody on youtube watches it tho.
25:38 Chandra's reaction to the cat accident is adorable!! She's got such a good heart.
“He’s a master at physical comedy”, so true. More Chevy! Funny Farm! Fetch! Fletch Lives! Caddyshack!
And Spies Like Us
Definitely Fletch! They're a great blend of Chevy's straight and comedic acting. Caddyshack is also a great suggestion. It's a classic comedy that everyone who likes comedies should see, if only for the scene between Chevy and Billy Murray.

Clark unloading about how upset he is with his boss in front of the family is the cherry on top.
Hallelujah!
Holy shit!
...where's the Tylenol? 😂
“It’s The gift that keeps giving”…😂
"merry christmas! shitter's full!" 😂😂😂
been saying that to my friends for 3o yrs on xmas
The Man With One Red Shoe is a classic 80's comedy with Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, and Dabney Coleman.
Have watched this movie every Christmas for about 30 years lol welcome to the club

"He coulda killed somebody" is the Griswold family motto

Bob Hope and Danny Kaye worked together in the 1957 Christmas movie White Christmas.

Vegas Vacation is pretty good too. I would skip the remake of “Vacation” and European is optional 🤔
Scrooged with Bill Murray.

Yuppy doesn't really mean DINK. You could absolutely be a yuppy while single.

Nice choice!!!! I'll watch after work.
Aunt Bethany did the voices for Olive Oyl, Betty Boop and Minnie Mouse.
The next Chevy Chase movie you should watch is "Fletch". It's my personal favorite Chevy Chase movie.
I think Chevy said it's his favorite film that he's done because he was able to ad lib and be himself. So dang good.
There's 5 of these movies alltogether...Vegas vacation (1997) and vacation (2015) are worth a watch as well!🙂
Vacation 2015 doesn't count nor does it even exist. Nobody should be subjected to watching that.
everyone freaks out when Eddie says well be taking it with us when we leave next month.... remember its like december 22 or 23 when Eddie came. So its like 1-2 weeks he stays.
Month ends January 31. No way in heck was he planning on leaving before than.
@@John_Locke_108 the month ends december 31 not in jan
@@gregkirby9059 So when someone says "next month" in December that doesn't refer to January? Wouldn't the end of December be "this month"
