Submitted by Olivia Fistrocket, real name
That was Chevy Chase in 1989. This is what Chevy Chase looks like now.

Best. Line. EVAR!!
What really makes it is “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” on the tuba playing in the background
Reminds me of another classic: “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” If you play “Grandma Got Run-over by a Reindeer” at the right spot it synchs up nicely. Made for many lulz when i was a kid.
I love Clarke’s monologue about what he wants to call his boss. “Hallelujah, holy sh*t!”
Omg! I love this movie! it’s not christmas till i have seen the whole thing! I found the theme song on youtube and i must admit i have listened to it a few times to make me happy!
We watch this every year after Thanksgiving dinner, except for the year my grandmother asked, “Are we going to watch that dumb movie again?”
Better than watching “Kindergarten Cop” at a family gathering. My mom will never live down little me asking, loudly, “What’s a vagina?”
Man, 20 years sure does fly.
It’s not Christmas until my family has sat down to watch this. Good times man, good times.
Wow, it’s been 20 years already??? This is one of 3 of my must-watch Christmas movies every year, including A Christmas Story (“You’ll shoot your eye out with that thing!”) and Scrooged with Bill Murray (“The bitch hit me with a toaster!”).
you have to do the marathon session with Trains, Planes and Automobiles and Uncle Buck as well… all three films are teh awesome… and if you still have time, get Cool Runnings as well…
And The Great Outdoors!
Yes.. thanks to that movie, we know what hotdogs are made of! LMAO
I freakin’ love Tr, Pl, and Au!!!
We watch that every Thanksgiving, too! It’s a tradition.
We watched this every year since…well since the last time I can remember. Even now that my dad’s gone (passed in 07) I still love watching it.
Dad’s favorite part of all time was when Clark sprays that lube on the snow disc. Especially the loud “SPANG” he makes when he hits the donation box in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
My family watches this every Christmas, it’s a tradition. Cousin Eddie is the BEST! “Fall’s down a well, eyes go crossed… kicked by a mule, they go back to normal, I don’t know!” LMAO!
I watch this every christmas!
is rusty still in the navy? don’t throw me down clark!
All “Vacation” films after “European” = FAIL.
And besides, it’s bad enough that the department stores already have Christmas stuff up next to the Halloween costumes. Must it be Christmas in October at OUaW, too?
Wow, I didn’t know we had our own scrooge already!
Are you Todd? Or Margo?
Margo def shes more of a bitch. If you wanna come in here, you are gonna have to break down the god damn door!!!
European Vacation was the weakest. Christmas Vacation has reached holiday must-see status right up there with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
I’m surprised that over 100 people still have never seen this movie and are voting down just to be cool. Wow.
“Fixed the NOOL POST!!”
It’s a funny squeakish sound…
You couldn’t hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.
Win!
Love that line!
SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are you gonna do? Im gonna trap in my coat, smack it witha hammer. *faint* Img goin in with him
Then vs. Now: Well that’s what 30 years of crank, booze and a baker’s dozen of ex-wives’ll do to you. Or so I would guess. Actually, I don’t know if any of that even applies, so please disregard.
Thanks to this movie, I’ve been using the line “It’s a bit nipply out” for eons now. Sadly I don’t think anyone’s noticed.
The best:
Todd: Hey Griswold. Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?
Clark: Bend over and I’ll show you.
Todd: You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold.
Clark: I wasn’t talking to you.
Movie + Chevy Chase = Sucks. The only movie he made that I like is Caddyshack, but even it still sucks.
You liked it… yet it sucked. Okaaaaay…..
I love this movie. I LOVE this movie. I watch it every year at Christmas with my family. I don’t know how much I can say how much I love this movie.
Oh, Eddie, I wouldn’t be more surprised if I woke up tomorrow morning with my head sewn to the carpet.
I can’t believe it’s was 20 years ago!!! A very classic movie that will never go out of style.
Had to get the metal plate in my head replaced because every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I’d piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.
Man Petting a Squirrel
This is the movie that taught us the F word… heh. Of course, now, I’m surprised my parents showed it to us at such an early age!
Love this movie! I have to see it every year with my friends. Any other Big Bang Theory fans? Can you believe Russ is Leonard? He was sooo young!
My parents had me watching National Lampoon at like 5!
I have this movie on DVD sitting beside me on the movie shelf haha
No matter how many times I see it, the cat under the chair scene cracks me up big time!
Clark – Do you smell something?
Eddie – Shore do. Fried pussycat!
They want you to say grace!!! Grace? she passed away 30 years ago. THE BLESSING oh. I pledge allegiance )eddie stands up LOLLOLLOL
The cop was like sir, if i had a rubber hose, i’d beat u wit it. lollollol
