    Chevy Chase’s physical humor and goofball incompetence is on point. Did you notice when he and Ellen are talking in the kitchen she is scraping the dishes off in the trash and he is wiping them off and putting them in the cupboard instead of the dishwasher? Stuff like that.

    • @NateAZ
      @NateAZ Před rokem +5

      When I saw this in the theater with my sisters, it got to that scene and my oldest sister blurted out, "Gross, he's just putting the dirty dishes back in the cupboard!" and half the women in the audience gasped and many men just started cracking up. It was a great mix of reactions for that.
      Then later, when Aunt Edna, after finding out the dog peed on their sandwiches, just shrugged and kept on eating hers....nearly everyone let out a " oooohhhh!".
      I just love those parts, displaying the less filtered humor of the 80s.

    National Lampoon was a popular humor magazine in the US, known for its savage and adult flavor humor compared to the more juvenile MAD magazine, peaking probably in the late 1970's and early 80's. They branded several great comedies early on, the first being the National Lampoon's Animal House.
    Killing the dog is on brand for the magazine. One of their most famous covers featured a photo of a worried looking dog with a gun held to its head, and a promise to spare the dog if you buy the magazine.
    The magazine eventually collapsed and the name was bought by someone who licensed the brand out to a lot of awful, terrible, worthless comedies, so the brand name by itself is no longer a guarantee. The Chevy Chase vacation movies are great, particularly this one and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
    Wally World is 100% taking the piss out of Disney. The owner even looks like Uncle Walt.
    Oh, and one more note. As Wally World isn't real, they filmed the rides at a couple of Six Flags parks in California. They're a popular chain of theme parks, a bit more accessible than the Disney parks.

      I could be wrong, but I believe the scenes shot at Six Flags were shot at the original Six Flags Over Texas, in Arlington, TX.
      I am not even sure if thry had started opening other parks yet at that point. Then Time Warner bought the chain and ruined the franchise.

    The little man at the car dealership was Eugene Levy (American Pie,Shitts Creek etc.) who along with John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, the director of this film Harold Ramis and others, got their start on Canada's SCTV sketch show. Before the National Lampoon movies were a series of comedy albums starring many people later on SNL - John Belushi, Bill Murray, his brother Brian Doyle Murray (the mayor in Groundhog Day), Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, Harold Ramis, and more. Don't let not celebrating Thanksgiving stop you from watching Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. It's all about the relationship between John Candy and Steve Martin.

    Hi Dawn Marie!🙂I like this film, but "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989) is my favorite in the series. The trip was 2408 miles long. Yeah, Walley World is a fake Disney want to be amusement park. Although, there is actually one in Canada. They used Six Flags in Valencia California for filming. Mr. Walley happens to resemble Roy Disney. The sports car/skinny dipping girl is well known model Christie Brinkley. Great reactions to your first Vacation film, Dawn Marie!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    If you want to learn more about what "National Lampoon" refers to, you should look up Douglas Kenney (Wikipedia would be good). You will find that he wrote the movies Animal House and Caddyshack, and that he started the magazine National Lampoon -- an offshoot from The Harvard Lampoon, of which he was the editor as an undergraduate there.

    I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for you, but Hamburger Helper is an American product, a box containing quick cooking pasta along with a sauce mix. You add the ground beef (and maybe some veggies) along with some milk/butter/water, and it 'Helps' you put together a quick, filling meal (at least in theory).
    So, basically the Hamburger patties are made with ground up pasta & sauce mix (which is much cheaper than hamburger, but as Clark said, contains no meat)

    Plain white bread is what I grew up with, but I have settled on King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls. Peanut butter and jelly is what I take to work (have a bunch in the freezer) and otherwise turkey with mustard and mayo or chicken salad or ham with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, and all of them with cheese of course! Do burgers and hotdogs count too? Great thing about sandwiches is the variety.
    This film is a gem, showcasing Chevy Chase’s talent for goofiness. A dumb clutz stumbling through life. There are worthy sequels, the funniest aspect being different actors for the kids. And cousin Eddie returns too.

    Okay, National Lampoon was a popular comedy Magazine in the 1960s -1980s. It was basically started by a group of students from Harvard University.
    2nd. John Hughes wrote the original short story for National Lampoon Magazine. But when he turned it into a script for Warner Brothers, Harold Ramis, the director, had to rewrite 60% of it because it was a little too racist for Warner Brothers. But John Hughes still gets the writing credit for the movie.

It comes with melted provolone cheese and... I forget what they call the spread, but it's made of finely diced black olives and a bit of carrot. It's served on a crusty sesame seed roll. I'm a sandwich guy myself, and this one's making an impressive run at becoming my favorite.

    A bit of movie trivia … The original ending had the Griswald’s kidnapping Roy Wally from his home (a similar scene they used in Christmas Vacation), but that ending didn’t do well with test audiences , so they reshot the ending at the amusement park (several months after the original ending was shot)… during the break between the filming of the two endings, the actor who played Rusty had a growth spurt (he grew much taller)… during the entire movie he’s shorter than his mom, Ellen… but in the ending scene at the amusement park, he’s taller than Ellen.
