Aunt Bethany reciting the Pledge of Allegiance as her way of saying grace always kills me! I remember one Thanksgiving when I was given the honor of saying grace and I recited the Pledge of Allegiance just like Aunt Bethany did. I got a few good laughs out of it, too!
"GRACE! She passed away thoity yeeeas ago!" That line gets me EVERY time! When I saw this movie when it came out, I thought 80 was SO old. My own grandmother had just turned 80 the year before. NOW my FATHER will be 92 in a couple of weeks and I am realizing that 80 isn't quite as old as I thought it was 'thoity yeeeas' ago!
@@jaclynhughes5025 Ah how things change in the 2 years since I posted this comment. I lost my father last year and I turn 60 this year. But I'm STILL laughing at Aunt Bethany and 'Grace' 😂
Aunt Betheny has got some of the most hysterical parts of the movie. A little side note...... She is played by the actress who was the voice of Betty boop. 👍👍
@@harumskarum3481 Yeah, she was the voice of the old Betty Boop and Olive Oyl cartoons. I liked those old 1980s veteran actors/actresses from old 1930s and 1940s films
I can do a pretty good impression of great aunt Bethany and my dad can do a fairly good Uncle Louis so before every family dinner we start reciting the whole “Grace! She passed away 30 years ago!” part
Seems the Grace in question was obviously some woman Aunt Bethany used to know, or even one of her grandmothers or something, who had passed away 30 years ago.
Underrated part when Uncle Louis just shakes his head...look of a man defeated and given up on the whole deal..😂😂."She's been dead 30yrs"...kills me everytime
Travelinmatt76 I doubt the filmmakers said “ Now, make sure you leave out under God because that wasn’t around in your time” for this particular joke because so many people would catch it? Also, in 1989 liberals were not the shitheads they are now to not only know, care or omit such a thing in a movie.
LMAO! This and them standing in the front yard singing the star spangled banner as that plastic santa flies through the sky in a burning blaze is hilarious!
my mother and I watch this movie together every Christmas and this is our favorite scene 😂😭 randomly we aways say "GRACE...she passed away 30 years ago"
The blessing one of the best and favorite and funniest punch lines ever to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong after all these years God bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go cant stop laughing thanks !!❤❤😂😅 Joe. I will remember to the pledge of alignments to the United states of America !!
The director did a phenomenal job on this, the music set the tone for the upcoming Pledge of Allegiance. I would have never guessed, a great little actress! I want to see the whole movie.
The flippin butterflies on eddies shirt absolutely kill me dude…. I hadnt noticed this detail for SOOO many years. And a couple years back I saw it and it just…… it makes me die laughing every time LOL. 😂 every bit of this movie is just…… superb. It deserves an award of some kind.
Mae Questel who played the role of Aunt Bethany in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation was the voice behind Betty Boop, Minnie Mouse, Olive Oyl, and Felix the Cat.
Besides Grandpa burning up the Christmas tree and himself in the process probably one pf the most memorable and funniest scenes in the film! For me anyway.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen
To tie in with the mentioning that this was Aunt Bethany's 80th Christmas during the events of this film, Mae Questel was in her early 80s while this film was being made while William Hickey was in his early 60s when this film was made. Right?
LOVE THIS SCENE (and movie). Notice the attention to detail: the older generation, including Aunt Bethany herself, leaves out "under God," whereas the younger generations (Clark's and the kids') say this part. This is because "under God" was only added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, so the old folks who went to school long before this would not have learned it.
i have ONE friend whos seen this movie out of all of em and we quote this and 'look kids a deer' allllll the time best part is we've known eachother a few months but just kinda clicked like its been years
This is something I didn't find out about until this year, but the woman who played Clark Griswold's senile Aunt Bethany was the original voice of Betty Boop & Olyve Oyl in Popeye.
Uncle Lewis saying “THE BLESSSSSING” through gritted teeth is one of the most absurd line deliveries in movie history 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was the voice of Dr. Finkelstein in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Aunt Bethany:” I pledge allegiance to the flag……”😂😂😂😂😂
@@TaylorKnightCosplay And Bethany was Betty Boop.
Absolute pinnacle of cinema
@@TaylorKnightCosplay he also had a weird fascination with bugs in Major Payne
Everyone's awwwing at Aunt Bethany being chosen to say grace, and Uncle Louis has a look on his face like, "Oh god, here we go."
*the uncle glances as Clark*
“so do you regret your decision?”
Exactly. LoL!

he's the most Sympathetic character in the series

Nah, he's an idiot and freeloader. He's the same in real life, so look up Randy Quaid.

I already love your family so much and I don't even know you.
viddeo please!
I did that with my friend this Christmas
We just had to do it.
THE BLESSSIIING
Grace ! she passed away 30 years ago
They want you to say grace, as in THE BLESSING! Only she ends up reciting the flag salute instead. She really IS senile here.
Seems the Grace in question was obviously some woman Aunt Bethany used to know, or even one of her grandmothers or something, who had passed away 30 years ago.
MrJamieMurph4141969 that was 1959 and now this was 30 years ago in 1989.
It was a reference to Gracie Allen wife of George Burns which is who was originally supposed to play Lewis.
A hoot! She's not only hard of hearing, but as sweet as pie!
Exactly, poor hearing, but wealthy in "blessings" lol
Underrated part when Uncle Louis just shakes his head...look of a man defeated and given up on the whole deal..😂😂."She's been dead 30yrs"...kills me everytime
I love when Aunt Bethany shakes her head at him 😂
😭😭😭🏆 right
I swear the blessing always gets me every single time in 0:29
The whole reason I looked up this scene!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@gregharper6382 same like that line just makes me wheeze
Da Blezzzing
Clark's face at 0:50 is priceless
I just love how he slowly goes wide-eyed. XD
At 1:01 it’s even funnier lol
“You mean THIS can’t even go right?”
fking cracked up
That's why I crack up every time 😂
I just realized that when she said the pledge she left out "under god". It was added to the pledge in 1954 which at the time Mae Questel was 46.
Good observation
Travelinmatt76 No they didn’t, they said it at 0:59, listen closely.
The other younger people said it, she did not. Listen again
Travelinmatt76 I doubt the filmmakers said “ Now, make sure you leave out under God because that wasn’t around in your time” for this particular joke because so many people would catch it? Also, in 1989 liberals were not the shitheads they are now to not only know, care or omit such a thing in a movie.
Damn. How old is Aunt Bethany?
I did this during Christmas dinner :) everyone was laughing including me
I tried the same thing the other night for Christmas dinner, but my mom cut me off and wouldn't let me finish.
Just the fact Eddie stands up 😂😂😂😂
He is a veteran.
@@zackcarman7845Hello boys, I'm back!
Aunt bethany is the best old lady ever!!
She was Betty Boop in her prime. May she rest in peace with all the other people who passed on.
Betty Boop, Olive Oyl and Aunt Bethany (not to mention she did Popeye's voice for a brief stint as well). Questel was so awesome!
Sad that she did have Alzheimer's in real life though.
Aunt Bethany is my spirit animal, Therefore, I'm going to act like her when I grow old
I know that right😂
Was thinking the same thing
LMAO! This and them standing in the front yard singing the star spangled banner as that plastic santa flies through the sky in a burning blaze is hilarious!
…and liberty and justice for all " Amen
I love how uncle lewis rolls his eyes at @0:12
Haha, he knows all too well what is about to happen!
The best part of the movie!!! This puts me in a hilarious state ... every single time!!! I'm basically suffering with a busted lung over here, LOL!!!

Say what you want about Aunt Bethany, but I say the woman is a patriot the way she recites the Pledge of Allegiance and sings the National Anthem!
PLAY BALL!!!
God love Aunt Bethany!
0:48 Where the fun starts!
She is also the voice of olive oil from the Popeyes 1960's cartoon series
and Betty Boop
Popeye cartoons were originally from the 1940s and 1950s not 1960s.
And Felix the cat and Minnie Mouse
BQ Kmg no they were from the 30's
Uncle Louis would go on to play Dr.Finklestien
Rip Betty Boop and Olive Oyl
And Marie Barone.
I love Clark's wide eyes at 0:50 😂
The director did a phenomenal job on this, the music set the tone for the upcoming Pledge of Allegiance. I would have never guessed, a great little actress! I want to see the whole movie.
God bless you,Aunt Bethany Boop

Who else can't even say, hear, or read the Pledge of Allegiance without hearing it in Aunt Bethany's voice in their head?
this happens in my family everyday.
“Grace! She passed away 30 years ago”
AMEN
The Blessing!😄
