Who else watches this every Christmas eve?
I've already watched it about 20 times since it start on the AMC channel lol. I can almost quote all the famous lines by heart.
This and "Die Hard"
I tried to but ran out of time yesterday.
Every year ! 🌲🎅✌️🤣
I watch it pretty much the whole month of december lol
It's just not Christmas without watching this movie
So true 🙂👍
Watched it last night.
Christmas Vacation, Elf, Home Alone, and A Christmas Story. I watch those movies every December.
Just finished watching it. Sorry I’m done for another year. Can’t wait to watch it again next year
My kids grew up watching this every December, and are now in their 20's and coming over for the tradition every year.
Christmas wouldn't be complete without watching this movie.
Yes, this and ELF and A Christmas Story are now my go to's every Christmas
I've watched this movie every Christmas for the last 25+ years. Never gets old.
@🌴ViceGuy nah that’s you for even saying that. The movie is a gem, you are a troll
@@carramrod8232 before New show gaslight theater speakers spoof spoke show on the same message from movie and gaslight theater in new
Because the movie Is brilliant, I love It.
If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now.
Greatest Christmas movie ever!
“Why is the carpet all wet Todd?”...”I don’t know Margo!”
Ole Todd had it ruff didn't he?
Close second behind Die Hard
Best lines ever!!
adam riesner best line ever
I have a t-shirt that says "I don't know Margo'
The original Vacation is legendary, but Christmas Vacation has solidified itself as a timeless Christmas classic.
It’s just not Christmas without the Griswolds.
"Would anyone like to say grace"? Aunt Bethany?
"Grace died 30 years ago!"
"THE BLESSING"
"OH, I pledge allegiance to the flag......
Amen!
Best Christmas film
I remember when my hubby first bought it for me on video best film ever first Christmas film I watch every year ,then it’s a wonderful life then polar express ,Santa Claus movie ,then last of all one magic Christmas 🎄🎁☃️🎅❄️
I say it a lot, but i probably laughed hardest in my life when i was a kid and saw him on that sled. It totally surprised me and took me off my seat.
Yes, Rebecca. Never gets old every year!
We play it every year with out fail when we put the tree up and I still bust a gut when he kicks all of the reindeer in the front lane.
The Xmas vacation isn't that funny too me...
What a film! Never gets old, but it’s bitter sweet seeing Chevy age
No kidding why is he hiding a basketball under his shirt 🤣
One of my favorite actors from the 80’s.
I think he might have kept himself up better if it wasnt for his drinking. I read somewhere he had an alcohol addiction some years ago. That bottle will age you overnight!
@HELL'S HITMAN yeah but that still doesn't take away the joy he gave us in watching him and the whole cast in this movie.. CHRISTMAS VACATION , CHRISTMAS VACATION, were so glad it's christmas vacation . LOL. LOVE IT!
I was thinking that smh....
Nieghbor: Where are you gonna put a tree that big?
Clark: Bend over and I'll show ya.
The Random Life You got a lot of nerve talking to me like that, Griswold!
@@littlesinga I wasnt talking to you.
@@brandonbvidz9218 Hahaha I just replayed that scene in my head as I read your comments. So perfect! 😂
"I can't swim Clarke"....."I know, Eddie.."
The pond would be good for you.
@@duderama6750 You'll have to speak up, I'm deaf in one eye.
@@duderama6750 greasy grimy gopher guts
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“The little lights aren’t twinkling...” “I know that dad, thanks for noticing.” 🤣
I believe it was his father in law that said that line. His dad was always positive, the father in law was the dick
Art*.
Without question the best Christmas movie ever!
Tim Sacco6g for me, it’s one of those movies , like the Royal Tannenbuams, that you can really only appreciate if you’re American and you grew up there. I enjoyed it but I couldn’t quite get the humour at times.
@@shizuokaBLUES well I'm german and I've got everything. might be because american christmas is pretty much a copy of the german one
Home alone?
lethal weapon, the ref, bad santa
@@rockinresurrection6542 how is it a copy? That makes no sense.
I went to junior high with Johnny Galecki in Oak Park, Illinois, when he got the role. Everybody went nuts when the film came out. heh
Is he Lenard from Big Bang?
@@mikehiggins9055 Yes
The movie is "the gift that keeps on giving." Honestly. 😉😊
I used that reference up top and I hadn’t seen your comment til right now lol 😅😅
@DealingSpades nothing like using the Randy Quaid aka Eddie reference to describe this classic funny Christmas tale
Johnny Galecki as Rusty Griswald. Then on the Roseanne show. Then the Big Bang Theory. He's been in some EPIC STUFF.
I forgot Leonard Hofstadter was Rusty Griswald. Damn.
@Mike Mayhew Wild hey. Leonard Hofstadter was Rusty Griswald. I remember re-watching Christmas Vacation and I was like WHOA!! Roseanne. He was her daughter's boyfriend. Then Big Bang Theory. I didn't put 2 and 2 together but then WHOA. DAMN. SO COOL.
the one and only.
All these years of watching these movies, I never knew Galecki played Russ!!! Wow! I’m watching this thinking what’s he doing up on the stage? 😂 🤦🏽♀️
I barely found this out too!!! That's so cool!!! After watching the movie for the first time, I saw that Clark's son was a very good actor. Then after reading the ending credits, I looked it up on CZcams and here we are. Johnny Galecki is a very good actor! Leonard from The Big Bang Theory in a movie with the great Chevy Chase 👍
Last time he was cute.
Randy wanted to be there, but you know, shitter's full.
He's MAGA, they wont let him. Sad
Yea anyone who supports president trump isn't allowed, just a group of has Ben's, except Jonny he's filthy rich, sorry chev
I think he went crazy and fled to Canada. 😅🤣
They kicked him out of the club years ago
Lol 😂
Chevys face, when cousin Eddie asks Clark, if you was serious when he told the kids Santa’s slay was spotted by radar.
Best part of the movie - "You serious, Clark?"
Best part is the pool fantasy lol
Save the neck for me, Clark....
That's easily the worst attempt at spelling a word that I have ever seen. So bad, in fact, that if I didn't know what you were actually trying to say I would have likely developed eye-cancer. Let's do it together:

I dont know what's in this jello but its is gooooooo'ood
"Is your house on fire, Clark?"
"No, Aunt Bethany. Those are Christmas lights."
"Don't throw me down, Clark".
"I'll try not to, Aunt Bethany"
That was Betty boop.
@@Thunder_Dome45 She also voiced Olive Oyl from Popeye cartoons.
@@brandonbvidz9218 oh didn't know that or else I forgot.
is rusty still in the navy?
“Oh gee...Did I break wind?”
I've been watching this movie every Christmas since 1989 and it never stops being funny. My favorite Christmas movie of all time
I watch this movie a lot I’m like it doesn’t have to be Christmas to watch this movie I like pulling this film out for Christmas in July as well there’s nothing like watching a winter time movie during the summer
My grandparents (R.I.P.) had this on vhs. It was pulled out multiple times, regardless of what time of year. ❤
Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story, both favorites of our family. The Christmas season wouldn't be the same without them.
Believe it or not, I've never seen A Christmas Story!
“If you believe in him, and you believe in your mom, and you believe in your.................dad”. That line gets me laughing every time.
''we're shitting bricks. - you shouldn't use that word- , sorry, we're shitting rocks.''

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time! I look forward to watch it every single year.
Happy 30th Anniversary! Hip hip hooray for Christmas Vacation.
"Surprised? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be as surprised as I am now."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Merry Christmas! Shitter's Full!"
Ah you check our shitter lately?
I use this statement throughout the year...the looks I get are never from Anyone who knows what the hell I'm talking about..LOL
“Surprised”? Eddie, if I woke up in the morning with my head sewn to the carpet I couldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.
@@gotham23us ya,it looks so nice parked in the driveway
@@rickkanski4505 Now dont you go fallin in love with it Clark because were takin it with us when we leave here next month
"Shitters full..merry christmas!" best christmas movie ever!
"Merry christmas! Shitter was full!"*
Amazing movie. Top notch actors. Funniest Christmas movie ever. So many things in the movie are relateable.
Still is.
Wished cousin Eddie was on this discussion panel! He was so frigging funny!
Randy is in hiding. I think he'd done something illegal.
Too bad the other grandparents are gone, especially Doris.
Doris really was a brilliant actress 😀
@@gipsystyle7272 Yes, Doris Roberts was still taking acting classes and working into her 90s (I heard Patricia Heaton say this, during an interview).
Miss Doris Roberts rip
Juliet's dad is Geoffrey Lewis, the movie he and Beverly were in together was "Every Which Way But Loose". That was one of my favorite movies growing up.
@pete smyth I didn't know he had passed, he was a great actor, underrated...he was in a lot movies and shows. He was on Gunsmoke, Bonanza, the A-Team, to name a few and good movies too, like High Planes Drifter. If I were an actor I would love to have a resume like Mr. Lewis, and obviously, the fruit doesn't fall far...
The mayor of Jackson Michigan has put on a free showing of this movie every December in honor of his late father. That event has become a yearly tradition in December at the historic downtown Michigan theater. A classic Christmas movie that will never get old.
Mr. Chase is hilarious and poignant in this film. This film is a masterpiece!
This move is a cult classic, I literally don’t know anyone who hasn’t seen it multiple times, me and my family watch it every year at Christmas time, it never gets old
“It was an ugly tree.”
“At least it’s out of its misery.”
The blessing
@@raymondriccardi5846 THE BLESS-ING
Diane Ladd is a national treasure
Brujx 4U she was 7 when Chevy was born. Let that sink in.
ties a Guiness Record ...
Diane Ladd is the only survivor now among the actors who played the grandparents. She's about 11 years older than Chevy. It's good to see all of them here.
In this interview, Ladd says she's about six years older than Chase, so wondered how she could play his parent.
Ok...looking through all of the comments here, I got curious, so looked up Chase and Ladd. Chase was born October 8, 1943 and Ladd was born November 29, 1935. So, eight years apart.
she looks great for a woman in her 80s, though,
"I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery!"
Smoke them, if have them
I just watched this movie yesterday
Classic
Me 2😁
This is one of those very rare movies where almost every line is memorable
And we know them all!
So true...so many great lines!
@@Matt-xv2cp lol
Juliette Lewis hasn't aged! She could revise her role today!
Agree to disagree.. she's got a ton of wrinkles now
Still as Sexy... 😍👍
She’s so damn Beautiful and is aging gracefully thank God she never went under the knife and never got any kind of plastic surgery
"Oh, did I break wind?" "Oh Jeez, did the room clear out?"
Fun fact Mae Questel aka aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop
I was watching a wonderful documentary on brain surgeons and their work at a major American hospital. The show featured a contest with the staff showing off Christmas sweaters during the holidays. One of the surgeons had the standard red/white/green but in the centre was a knitted motorhome and the text underneath said “that there’s an RV!”. Best inside joke ever!
For some reason it took me a long time to realize why Clark's fingers were sticking to and ripping the pages of the magazine out but I realized its because he had all that sap on his hands from their tree
Looks great! Lotta sap.
Why was he crunching when he was eating dinner?
I assume it was Eddie’s dog, Snot. But it seemed weird that dog food/cat food somehow got into their cooking
HEY CLARK, IF YOUR NOT DOING ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE RUN INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND GET MY STOGIE!
Is there anything else I can do for you uncle lewis?
That ain't the friggin' Christmas star, Griz, it's the light over the sewage treatment plant.
Da BLES-SING!!!!!
If he keeps this up, it will be his last Xmas.
Grace? She died 30 years ago!
Christmas Vacation, the gift that keeps on giving still some 30-31 years later
My favourite Christmas movies ever I try to to watch it every year it's just brilliant
Man I assume Clark never cancelled that Jelly of the month club.
Pmsl that's funny!
LOL. He's more jelly than man these days, no wonder he has trouble breathing.
It was only a 1 year subscription...
Clark, Audrey's frozen from the waist down.
It's all part of the experience honey!

The most enduring traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin. Thith tree is a thymbol of the thspirit of the Grithwold family Chrithmath.
“Don’t throw me down, Clark”.
Best line in the whole movie & Best Christmas movie ever!
Why’s the floor wet Todd. I don’t know MARGO lol
"Is the the airport Clark?" Every one of her lines were pure gold!
This is absolutely one of my favorite movies ever. Christmas movie or even regular movie it doesn't matter. I so wish they can make another one.
Best Christmas movie ever Hallelujah Holy Shit Wheres The Tylenol 😅😅😅🎄
@AMJH 4LAH you got that right 😅😅
“Burn some dust here. Eat my rubber.” 🎄❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚
Dad it’s burn rubber and eat my dust whatever Rusty 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“We needed a coffin, um I mean a tree” 😂
"The little lights aren't twinkling Clark." Lol!
I still watch it every holiday just makes me laugh and even puts a
smile on a grumpy person s face maybe even a chuckle ❤️
Every year, for about 5 years now, the day after Thanksgiving...I put up our Christmas decorations. When I reach the point where I'm kicking boxes, throwing plastic Santas, and cursing man & God...I make a drink, put in this film, & laugh out loud at EVERY gag! Eddie: "You surprised, Clark?" Clark: "I couldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet."
It’s the gift that keeps giving the whole year Clark
This movie is so well cast. It is, in my opinion Chevy’s finest work. This was the perfect vehicle for him and he made the most of it. As great as the cast is, this is his movie. My favorite scene is with him and Ruby Sue. It’s such a sweet scene. The movie hooks me in every time…
Every Christmas this lovely cast is invited into my home. Thank you for making such a wonderful Christmasy memorable Christmas 🎄 movie.
Chevy Chase thanks for all the great memories and movies...
Saw this in the movies in '91. When Eddie says he "pisses his pants whenever Catharine revs up the microwave and forgets who he is" I had to leave the theater I was laughing so hard.
Oh my god!!! That is one of my favorite scenes to. Every time i see it i laugh like hell, even still to this day.. Lol
Christmas Vacation was the BEST one in the franchise! Period. Never gets old.
Agree 100%
1. Christmas Vacation
2. Vacation
3. European Vacation.
As far as Vegas Vacation, Christmas Vacation 2, and the re-boot Vacation, I could care less for any of them.
For me it’s Christmas Vacation then Summer Vacation followed by Vegas Vacation and then the European Vacation and lastly the 2015 Vacation.
@@Disturbed928 You could care less? Interesting, I always thought it was "couldn't" care less 🥴
Wheres the hot chick from the mall? Lol.."you cant see the line, can you Russ?"
@besixdouze that's his son's name in the movie lol
@@ozzymorrison8628 Yeah, he says Russ a second time out of surprise that he was there.
@@ODN67 obviously this guy never seen the movie or any national lampoon's
@@ozzymorrison8628 No, 'Russ?!' was the next line in the movie. He was giving you the next line after the one you gave.
Ozzy Morrison It sure is getting hoooter ... I mean hotter in here. Too much fun!
Chevy Chase is an incredible Entertaining Comedic Genus and Performer. Love all his work 🙂
Man it would not be Christmas without this movie!
I watch it every day for a month until Christmas day for years and years.
One of the best Christmas classic films of all time.
Love all of them. Great movie, awsome actors. Thank you all for being a big part of my life through movies and TV shows I love.
Watch it every Christmas....laughed my ass off today when cousin Eddie asked if Clark was serious about Santa being spotted on his way to Chicago. And when Eddie keeps filling the shopping cart with dog food. And when Clark pushed his mom out of the way when trying to run from the squirrel. And, I could keep going, the whole movie is classic.
I just have to pause the video firstly as I can’t believe what I’m about to watch. This movie I loved immensely my whole life. Watched countless times, laughed countless times and even cried countless times and I’m going to enjoy this video and remember always as this is going to be golden. Love you guys you’re all incredible. Thank you all for creating such fantastic memories. Your all treasured dearly
Play ▶️
This remains my favorite Christmas movie! I watch it numerous times a year and numerous times in December!
Diane Ladd doesn't look like she as aged a bit.
She's wasn't nearly as old as they made her seem in CV. She's not too far away from Chase's age, if I'm not mistaken.
She's was hot in her day.
She was 54 when the movie was filmed, which makes her 84 now.
@@DIYDaveOK shes 9 years older than him
@@JeepTJWheelin she played on Alice on cbs in the 80s
Wishing you all “... the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny F**king Kay!”
And hope you're jolly like the people in the nuthouse.
And when Santa squeeze his white fat ass down that chimney tonight, he going find the jolliest bunch of assholes in this nuthouse!!!
on behalf of everyone here commenting, thanks for all the laughs over the years and family traditions putting this on
My fav Xmas film......sooòooo funnyxxx
She wrapped her damn cat.
That cat has nine lives. He just spent it all.
How about Aunt Bethany's jello mold....lime jello and cat food?
Pearly Everlasting The cat, being dead, won’t need the cat food anymore. Might as well not let it go to waste! Eat up! 😂😂😂
@@greyferguson9319 Yeah, cat food as the garnishes! Lol
I watched it 10 times in this Christmas. Legendary family 🤶🌹
That is one of my all time favorite all year long movies. Lol. Love that whole series. It's brilliant.
Saw it in the theater with my family when I was about 10. It had just come out, I remember everyone laughing a ton.
Easily my favorite comedic Christmas movie and as probably everyone commenting here, I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen it.
This is one of the Christmas seasons must watch. Its just not Christmas without the Griswolds.
Randy Quaid cracked me up in this. Especially this line; "Merry Christmas....... Shitter's full."
Chevy. Get your heart checked, please. ❤️
This movie is a must every year for our family. I laugh out loud every time!
Eddie:
I don't know if I oughta go sailin' down no hill with nothin' between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic.
Clark:
Do you really think it matters, Eddie?
If that plastic gets a dent, my part just ain't gonna look right.
Cousin Eddie emptying the shitter with no pants on was hilarious, Best Christmas movie EVER!
So many classic lines in that movie!
I heard somewhere that a lot of the actors in this that played the family basically funded each of their Christmas' with the royalties this film gave them each year. Everyone wants to be in a Christmas film because you just never know if you might be in THE ONE that everyone watches in December generation after generation.
Artie Lange played the store Santa in one scene of Elf and says that STILL gives him good money every year.
@@jimjam51075 wow, yeah he had a TINY part too
"The blessing!"
Jesus Bethany, did the room clear out???
NO you didn't break wind.....
I can still watch it to this day never get bored
I just re-watched this movie last night (every Xmas) love it.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation has always been a modern Christmas classic!! 🎄
This is the one Xmas movie that we never miss!!!
Thank you all for them beautiful crazy funny movies. Love them all.
This movie is one of my Must Watch moviea list during Christmas Season, thank you all!
One of the best Christmas movies ever ♥️ the actor's just a funny family movie ever.
Classic. Like a fine wine. Only better with age. LoL
Not true hete🤣🤣
I love love love all of Chevy’s movies. I never ever get tried I’d watching them. ❤️❤️❤️
This is one of my all rime favorite movies , I watch all year when possible. I do make it a for sure around Christmas Time . Love it .
