We took a family trip by car half way across the country one year only to find out after 2 days of driving that a relative had passed away and we had to drive back for the funeral. Ruined our vacation. Honestly if I ever die during someone's family trip go ahead and finish your trip first then do the funeral...it's not like I'll care I'll be dead.
Oh man, that’s terrible that that happened to you.
I hope you managed to find a way to have a good vacation afterwards.
That relative who passed away better be nuclear (mother, father, brother sister) or at worst one generation nuclear (your maternal and paternal grandparents) to justify abruptly ending a vacation and going to their funeral. If its a distant relative like a cousin twice removed, I would just say "I can't make it sorry. Give them my condolences." And continue your family trip without interruption. Thats what I would do.
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth Agreed, it was a Grandparent in this case. It was also my first open casket funeral as an 8 year old kid. I had a few mild nightmares afterward....ha ha ha
Lol kind of cold though, I mean it's your grandparent, have you no heart and feel bad?
@@Mrd9960 Of course we felt bad. Mixed emotions going on at the time. 1991 was not a good year for my family. Ancient history now though.
As someone who always took road trip vacations in a station wagon with our family and my Mom’s Mom as a kid, this movie really did an exceptional job satirizing the absurdity of the entire experience. This scene became a running joke with my Dad during every trip, and my Mom and Grandma would always reply by threatening to tie him to the bumper, like Clark did with Aunt Edna’s dog, first. Those were better days.
It's funny you mentioned that because they did a tribute mock to the bumper scene in "Little Miss Sunshine" although it was switched to the horn malfunctioning
@KrisKoProductions313 how is a horn malfunctioning a tribute to tying a dog to a bumper?
LOL me too.... I grew up in the 70s we had a Plymouth wagon complete with wood grain sides!!!! I wish I could find another one... The Singer Carol King she totaled out our car in the Pocono Mountains.. She was sheet faced drunk. Domestic stuff I think
0:44 that noise Clark made 😂
The noise he makes always cracks me up.
@@Sunshineoversham yes 😂
0:43
You can't not laugh at it.
Sounds like the Marty Moose laugh. LOL.
Clark’s “woohuhuhuhu!” at 0:43 used to destroy all my family and friends with laughter hahaha 😂🤣. Never gets old. Such a hilarious sound indicating that he is spooked out/grossed out. I love that he did it again in Christmas Vacation for the squirrel scene lmao.
Reminds me of Kramers reaction on Seinfeld to his half shave.
The purse tied up with her is the best.
It still had $0.11 in it too!
Maybe she had a dead nail tec?
I just noticed that now too and burst out laughing!
😂😂
0:44 *SHE BREATHED ON ME!! A DEAD PERSON BREATHED ON ME!!*
That noise Clark made to 😂
Dead people can’t even breathe
Annie Allen Jones Unless they’re zombies.
@@peytonwright4732 but she’s just a dead aunt Edna
Annie Allen Jones
They can exhale and inhale but I wouldn’t call it breathing so you’re right.
Clark slamming on his brakes and pulling to the side followed by that weird sound he makes always makes me 😂
They're not very good at tying down the luggage are they? Every time they stop it goes flying everywhere. 🤔
I didn't even notice it until I read your comment. Now I'm laughing hysterically.
as he almost drives his family right off a cliff.
Ah the 80s, when literal 30 year olds played moms and dads! Beverly D'Angelo was 31 in '83
And when late 20s adults played High Schoolers....also id be insulted if i was Beverly D'Angelo she looks toooooo young for kids that age.....she looks 24
@@christinasavannah7992 Bev had a knock out body in her prime.
@Joshua 1992 probably old age
@Joshua 1992 This was just after they had the monument valley car breakdown incident. The heat and stress likely added to her reasons of death.
@@christinasavannah7992 nowadays its early 20's adults
Whenever Clark says "It's not like it's going to rain," I'm always like "Guess again, Clark."
He forgot about those summer monsoon t-storms typical in AZ.
All they have to do is look for the buzzards. 😆
"Aw, hell! Then we'll drive her to cousin Normy's for pete's sake! Just don't wanna get caught up in a funeral, inquests, and all of that crap!"
@@MovieLover1995
You are the most self-centered, egotistical, manipulative....
0:33 "She's not fine, Clark! She's dead!"
After learning of that, Clark nearly drove the family off into the Grand Canyon!
And losing his luggage again! Lol😂
0:42 - 0:44 FINALLY! I was hoping someone would upload this scene for over a decade! That sound is one of the funniest things ever!
I thought I was the only one that found this part hilarious 😂
@@bmorebruhs My dad loved it too. He didn't really lose it much, but that sound always got him.
best line in the movie! LOL!
1:53 “Don’t say anything you’ll regret Ellen!”
“I’m only being practical.”
I'm so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station.LMAO on that line from Clark Griswold
Chevy Chase is the best. The way he subtlely overreacts to situations
Rest in peace Imogen coco 1908-2001😢😢😢😢😢😢
"I'm so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station" - Classic Chevy line.
Back in those days, gas station food meant really nasty or expired food. Nowadays, some (but not all) of the gas stations/truck stops have pretty good food!
@@haroldelrod8515 lol Bucees!
Not from Grandma Faby at Esso, King Street Newtown.
My dad and I still say this anytime we’re really hungry 😂
And then his wife’s eye roll. Great acting, we can all relate to these situations
What do you want me to do, call Federal Express?
I work for FedEx so I always think about this scene!!
How would they have even done that back then?
There weren’t really any cell phones yet
This scene is so dark yet I laugh every time!! 🤣
Yeah “It’s not like it’s gonna rain or something.” Boom monsoon storm Lol
@user-re5pp4xz8d probably heart attack she was asleep like any people do on a family road trip when they aren’t the one driving the car.
möt hörr hä€D xD
Don't worry, this doesn't make you evil.
I didn't like it as a 9 year old but I love it now. Everytime as an adult I Crack up
The thing I liked about this movie is that it made you feel like you were going along for the ride with them too.
I think the stress of riding in that big station wagon with Clark overwhelmed Aunt Edna and she died.
Well that and Clark was a dog killer!
I figured it was because of eating those sandwiches with dog pee on them.
She did everyone a favour. ✌️✌️
Love the Castle Thunder Sound Effects for the Thunderstorm Scene. Love the 80s. Great movie.
One of the most hilarious scenes in film history.
That sound Clark made getting out of the car 🤣🤣
Always wondered why no one noticed a piece of luggage looking like a stiff
Well, they were in Arizona, which is mostly desert. And we see them later at night.
In both scenarios, we can assume that not enough people would’ve recognized or thought anything of it.
from the weird things people get to put on their cars as “decorations”, they probably thought it was just a dummy.
“She can’t weight more than 100 pounds”
😍
I acted like Clark on my vacation trip we took to Chicago and my parensts Called me selfish and narcissistic
I bet that she's 5'2 with 👀 of blue she maybe a good pie maker?
@@garyparker1220 I went to Chicago I was asked if I was a narcissistic I know for sure my mom is 8 have a witness to that nurses and a friend who saw her do it. Hopefully it don't run in the family.. 8 was told no by a good recovery friend in O.K. ya the scene is funny we need comedy with the pandemic or delta varient or whatever it is now.. I think it just gets blame shifted to profit who knows only fauchi and a hacker somewhere?
1:30 “Well what do you want to me to do?! Call Federal Express?!?!”
Me: 🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine if they can do that today.
I grew up watching this...Now as a father of 2 young kids and married....the genius of the movie is Clark is actually very relatable in his dialogue and how he thinks lol
OMG .. THE PART " A DEAD PERSON BREATHE ON ME!!" 😂😂😂
hahahaa. that made my dad laugh too
Well, at least Edna's suffering was over. She's reunited with her crazed dog, Dinky.
Beverly never disappoints
Meow
Ellen, you've got a dead body in the car and nobody wants to ride with it. What exactly do you want Clark to do, allow them to keep it in the backseat with the kids freaked out?
Especially when it starts to smell and decompose ?
🤮
Love all the Lampoon flicks 😂🤣😆. Literally two days before this I watched the Christmas one. Brilliant. 🏆👍
These movies are classics
Such a great movie. So funny. In real life call the cops 😂
They were along ways from a phone. No cell phones back then
Love when Clark sounds like he is speaking in tongue’s when the dropout off Aunt Edna
I don't know why these have come up on my feed recently, but I'd actually forgotten how brilliantly hilarious this film is.
This specific scene in the movie had me on the floor wheezing 😂
0:43 that noise 🤣🤣🤣
And "oh her hand touched me she's stiff already."
"Goddammit anyway!" lol
The sound Clark makes as soon as he runs out of the car is so funny
Same 😂
That corpse looked like Nancy Pelosi....
😂😂😂😂😂😂
this movie is a classic along with Christmas Vacation lol
0:44. Sounds like Clark is doing the Marty Moose laugh.
I had such a mad crush on Audrey, I thought she was the cutest girl!
Me too. Dana Barron.
@@IronMan-tk8uc Yeah even Anthony Michael Hall wanted her, he said in an interview on the blu ray, when they were in the car in the back seat, he wanted to make out with her, calling her a little hottie, lol
@@Mrd9960 Naughty Russ Griswold 😂.
I wanted 83 Ellen Griswold.
@@Surfer041 Omg really? Hell no! Lol, I'd take Audrey over her anyday.
as absurd as it is, this makes you think - I mean what could you possibly do in this situation back in '83: you have a dead person in the car, nobody wants to ride sitting next to her, you are out in the middle of nowhere with no way of calling for a doctor or an undertaker to take her away, you can't leave the family out in the searing sun to bring the body to the proper authorities...
agreed
it does. what would you or anyone, myself, do? I do like they left her in the rain at the doorstep though. What an end to her miserable existence. Even Eddie wanted her gone lol
"What's the difference? She'll be fine. It's not like it's going to rain or something." Clark Grinswold. The next scene shows it raining. The always makes me laugh.
2:22 et on the roof lmfao
Hilarious scene -- even funnier if you know the area where this was filmed. The moment they realize she's dead, they're driving on I-17 south, yes just south of Flagstaff. Clark hits the brakes and they come to a stop at a scenic overlook between Flagstaff and Sedona that's about 10 miles and a half hour drive off I-17 down a pretty rugged forest service dirt road...that must be one helluva skid. Anyway, beautiful overlook spot that we go to a couple of times a year...the amazing views overlooking Sedona though are almost an afterthought if you know this is the exact spot where Aunt Edna was declared dead.
Between Flagstaff and Sedona is Oak Creek Canyon. Used to vacation there long ago. Very scenic at the time. Probably overdeveloped now.
Do you recreate the scene when you're there?
@@oldtwinsna8347 Arrival is always announced by saying "she's not fine Clark..... she's dead"....and my kids still have no idea what I'm talking about.
"All they have to do is look for the buzzards."
Real sensitive there, Rusty.
Clark got the heebie jeebies real quick 😂😂
“Well what do you want me to do, call federal express?”
Lol
if this were made today, she would be fine
I don’t think that’s true.
@@korrblank1361 no like it would be much harder to get some old woman to agree to play dead nowadays and I believe many people would find that to be an unfunny joke these days even for an r rated movie
@@jackrodakthemovieguy1726 well, it may not have been natural causes that killed her but it’s like when a man in his 30s gets shot in a war seen in a movie, take for example, a tom cruise movie.
if you look closely you can see her move as they walk away
Me at 15 years old: oh my god this is so disturbing! This is so unfunny!😱😖😫
Me now: Clark straps the corpse of someone who died while traveling with him and his family on top of the roof while it's raining (oh god!) And they then sit the corpse down on the porch to be found by its family. Christ...One of the most f ucked up yet funny scenes ever shown in a movie. I need to revisit Lady Killers because that one had a ton of dark humor in it and I also didn't like it when I was younger 😂🤣
It implies Aunt Edna passed away from heat exhaustion while in the car. I would guess the same time Clark stopped and talked to Rusty and shared a beer with him. Ellen goes, "She must of passed away somewhere near Flagstaff." Flagstaff Arizona.
@@mattchoman9737 Do you agree that it may have been heart failure or heat exhaustion? If so, it had to be quick as she never gave any indication she wasn’t feeling well.
Did not many cars back then have A/C either?
Me at 15: AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Me at 20: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Me at 30: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ME now at almost 50:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH (ah my back) AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But you know, you really getting to be a smart young guy...souse me, man!
She loved sitting on that roof
She said it was very fun to film
"She breathed on me! A dead person breathed on me!"
haha
@1:04 in the backdrop is Sedona and West Sedona further out. The towns were much smaller than today as this was before the massive tourism came into play.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Lol how they gonna strap the old lady to the roof and keep it moving.....
“SHE BREATHED ON ME, A DEAD PERSON BREATHED ON ME!”
How does a dead person even breathe anymore? LOL
I never got that line, still a funny scene though
no way that could happen. how dramatic but funny
Hahaha I love this movie
Same🤣
Same
Oh yeah. It's one of my favorites!
" A dead person breathed on me!". Best line in the movie lol
Ellen is being no help. She says all the things that can't be done but she has not made any suggestion what should be done, all she's doing is sulking. What does she want Clark to do in a situation like this?
He stoped so fast they lost half there luggage
Also from the looks of it, they weren't too far from the edge of the lookout either.
The irony is if she stayed at Eddie's house she'd have just been dead a few days later (though maybe the stress of the trip sped up her death)
yes and Eddie wouldntve done much better. Why did he have Edna leave?
Why didn’t they show the part when Clark sounded like he was speaking in tongues?
I love that pocket book in her lap.
I always wondered what the family did with the car since the end credits show them returning to Chicago by air. Sell it to a parts dealer, maybe?
Kind of sounds logical. I know this may sound silly, but it would've been funny if Clark managed to find his way back into that bad neighborhood in St. Louis, had they driven home, and offered the car to those guys who stole the hubcaps. But, realistically, the chances of that would be slim.
No, it was seen in the modern Vacation release in 2015 that Clark saved the truckster.
Love the sound Clark makes at 0:43
beverly Peaked in 1983 ! Never better wow, what perfection
Beverly D. was hotter than Christie Brinkley. What was Clark thinking?!
@@robercoli6136 Ferrari. What are you an infant?
The 80s were cool
"A dead person breathed on me"!
@Joshua 1992 A Volkswagen. Not sure the model. Ask Eugene Levy.
R.I.P Edna! 🪦🪦🪦 We will always miss you! 😢😢😢
This is the first comedy I ever seen where they could get away with a death scene I imagine now this movie would get canceled for having a character die unexpectedly in a comedy movie 😂
agreed
Fr. Society has gotten soft.
After seeing this I’m sad 1980-1999 years are gone.
you forgot the 70s
In Madagascar, long-distance buses charge one rate for in-cabin passengers and a somewhat higher rate for freight, which is carried externally to the cabin. It’s not unusual for thrifty Malagasy whose relatives die away from their ancestral villages to return them there by bus - as “passengers”. They sit the body up in a seat, a cloak hiding the face, and pretend they’re asleep the whole way. This is so common that bus drivers come down the aisle at halts, poking every unmoving passenger to check if they’re alive!
Anyone else notice that the luggage is Antarctic Blue to match the Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon? He also turned up to collect it in an Antarctic Blue suit.
Oh man I love that movie. His reaction was hilarious 😆 and can you blame Clark for feeling that way about Aunt Edna? That old bat was cranky and giving Clark a hard time. Its like dealing with a naggy mother in law. Oh and I remember of how her dog got accidentally dragged and died before she did.
This a good movie!
My mom took us on a road trip from Austin, Texas to Charlotte, North Carolina and one of the VHS movies we had was Vacation. This was back in 2004 and it was a great road trip. However, my the only two kids tv shows we had in on the majority of the trip was Nickelodeon and Disney Channel which annoyed me because my older brother loved Disney Channel due to Hillary Duff, the sister from Even Stevens and Topanga from boy meets world. I was more involved with Cartoon Network because of Toonami and the Ed’s.
Chevy chase is the king of comedy
cant stop laughing
That is still a disturbing thought about one's relative dying on you while you're on vacation, and the backseat passengers have with a corpse for who knows how many miles.
Right !!! Lol
The world has changed a lot since the 1970s. Back then you got your car serviced before you got on a road trip...... You drove on vacations.......long road trips.... There weren't hotels on every interchange like there are today...... And they were too expensive to stay in any way...... You often stopped and stayed with family members. Of course there was no internet just phone lines..... The source of information about travel destinations and stuff was a travel agent brochure......
It's been so long since I've seen this this scene is so unbelievable
2:30... what nightmares are made of...
I’m so hungry I can eat a sandwich from the gas station
"YES HE CAN"
😂😂😂
So they drove around with what was obviously a dead body strapped to the roof of the car, and nobody called the cops or even thought it was weird? 😂
0:43 😅😅😅
Just tell Uncle Norm to look for the buzzards … 😂
In reality, what can happen if you’re on a road trip vacation with a family and if one family member dies unexpectedly during the road trip, how can handle the situation in a positive way? People who die during road trips is a serious problem.
Any time a person dies and you are not in a hospital, you need to report it to the police.
Being away from civilization would make things tricky, but with smart phones you should be able to make the authorities come to you. Eventually they would have to call an ambulance to collect the body, and at least one adult would go with the body to either file the appropriate police report and or death certificate.
What they do in this movie would most likely break some laws as you are really not allowed to transport a corpse yourself from one location to another. Even if you don't suspect foul play the police are bound by law to investigate the incident
@@brocky70 Agreed
But to give this film the benefit of the doubt cell phones and the Internet weren’t really a thing yet
@@RB01.10 cell phones became a thing 10 years after this movie.
Haha, one of the best movies
One of Harold Ramis’ best movies.
All we have to do is look for the buzzards😂😂😂❤❤ is been so long since I've seen this scene
2021 lol still watching
great content
They could have doubled the station wagon as a hearse and the kids could have sat in the front seat.
the mom is such a baddie
You can tell that the "dead Aunt Edna" on the roof of the Griswald's car is actually a mannequin.
Yeah I just noticed that after all these years paying attention to the back of the head lol.
Phoenix, AZ here 1983 in Midway Chevrolet Move 😳😂!
