"There's Buckingham Palace, kids. That's where the Queen lives and works."
"Works? What does she do, Dad?"
"She queens... and vacuums."
Childhood delayed reaction. I just got the joke 😆
She has to supervise people who supervise the people counting the obscene amounts of money she gets for doing nothing.
One of the worse puns of the movie, but so bad-it's good!
@Hey McFly If you can in interrupt your forelock tugging for a moment, you do notice that you just stated the underlying problem of monarchy for a moment?
@@judemelroses9920 me too
“There it is. My motherland.”
“Dad, Grandma lives in Chicago!”
“Shut up, Rusty.”
“Schweinehund!”
Who the hell were they? Beats the shit out of me!
"Shut up, Russ."
In a matter of fact half of Chicago is german
"Those bells haven't rung in years."
"What does that mean?"
"They're going to hang somebody!"
"DAD!"
One of the best moments in all "Vacation" anthology.
@@skyden24195 "That's it Dad that's how I want my hair!!"
"Come on Rusty you don't want to look like a rooster."
And when they get to England and he is talking to the guy working at the motel, he starts pushing the translator and rusty said dad he speaking English lol
"good-in-tag, my wife and I are looking for sex".
SLAM
lol
"Look kids.... Big Ben, Parliament..." ❤❤❤❤
Every time I get lost and go in circles I can't resist saying this.Mostly whoever's beside me actually knows the line.Gets a good laugh
Soo many quotes I use daily. I'm a Steelers Fan, so my friends & I always say Big Ben, Parliament during games.
I missed my turn off a round about the other day. If course, I said that line. Unfortunately, my wife hasn't seen this movie and didn't get it, so I explained it to her.
Was giving my daughter driving lessons and mentioned that part in the movie just 2 days ago! She's never seen this movie.
@@mgonzalez3458 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 classic
"Do you want that in the can?" "No, I'll have it right here!" Best lines in the movie!
I pray this question is asked to me on a plane at some point.
Airplane-esque!
Actually I’d have to disagree, I think best line is Guden-Tacht, my fem and I are looking for sex.” The look on the old couple’s faces. Priceless.
Eric idle is hysterical in this movie. I love the scene where Clark is clog dancing. After seeing this movie i want to go a EuroTrip with the Griswolds.
What about the Griswalds?
"It's just a flesh wound." - Eric Idle
Monty Python/Holy Grail reference... 😏
"It's just a leg, Ive got another one"
😂👍👌
“It’s just a big sock, really.”
"Look kids, Big Ben... .Parliament.... again"
"I can not Get Left!!"
In my opinion this is an underrated comedy classic that doesn't get talked about as much as the other vacation movies.
It the one that I watched the most !
It's significantly better than the highly overrated Christmas entry.
All throughout the years I always heard the reason for the kids changing is that the Griswold parents are so clueless that they don't even realize their kids are different.
A subtle in-joke is made about that by Clark himself in the 4th one (Vegas).
I always love the scene when in Paris, Clark takes Helen to the club where women are on stage top less doing exercise and Clark says "They've been doing this for eons in France this is real culture" 😆
That's what I told my wife, when we went on vacation in Amsterdam and strolled down the Redlight District... but she didn't buy it... :(
How it managed a PG-13 was surprising
Clark look "I am looking Ellen" /...no over there shes just a cheap hooker, but look who shes with LOLOLOOLOLOLO!!!!!
Yup me too.I like how he's moving his head to what the dancers are doing.Forward back and forth.
@@JamesCraigWhoopIn the car chase scene his drops the f-bomb, but they edited it. Reminds me of Galaxy Quest, where Sigorney says f-that, to get a pg-13? Rating.
The funniest part for me is when they start trying to annoy each other on the train. I laugh till my sides hurt every time I see it...🤣🤣🤣🤣
"He's going for it. I think he's gonna pork her!"
"He's not going to pork her."
"I think he is."
"Maybe he is. Eat your dinner."
"pork her!" so that's where I got it from! Love this movie!
The most underrated Vacation film, and probably the funniest Stonehenge sequence in a movie next to This is Spinal Tap.
I agree
It really is underrated it just lives in the shadow of the first film.
My ranking of the Vacation movies
1. Christmas Vacation
2. Vacation 1983
3. European Vacation
4. Vegas Vacation
"Hey kids look Parliament big Ben, hey kids look it's Parliament and big Ben! Every time I end up making a u-turn and doubling back someplace and passing the same area I always say that line and..... my wife hates it!
Same bruh
🤣🤣🤣
It's a great visual gag as well, that Americans don't know how to leave a roundabout once they're on it. So much so that it became an urban myth for decades.
This movie was good. The scenes with Audrey vs Rusty over headphones and at the museum then Clark vs Rusty fighting on the train were hilarious. Let's not forget about the accident prone guy, the family's reaction to the London hotel and finally the Oktoberfest dance number that ended with the whole family getting ran out of the Germany 🤣🤣🤣
Liz Vizion it’s too bad that accident prone guy didn’t ever do anything else before or after🙄
Eric Idle was amazing in this film as jolly British bloke who couldn't be angered by anything. lol The most positive character in the entire movie.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 I concur
@@jarrett2209 I truly hope you're joking.
Your right Liz, so many funny scenes in this classic chevy chase flick. I laughed so hard when I 1st saw rusty and clark fighting on the train, with clark giving rusty an Indian burn. Super funny!
"I'll bring you some dirty dishwater, you won't know the difference!"
Go F#$K yourself
Where will you find a waiter like that in the US??
That waiter was Dan Castellaneta. The voice of Homer.
@@Orlor That's not Dan Castellaneta. Looks nothing like him.
@@michelleadams7058 - Yup. You're right. It was Phillip Sturbelle. Don't know where I got the idea it was Dan. Think I read it in a publication prior to seeing the movie back in the 80's. I stand corrected.
Gerard Depardieu was considered to play the waiter
"Dad, he's speaking English" 😂
😂😂😂😂
I love the train scene where they all try to annoy each other. I laughed so hard at that part.
"Baybay Bayyybayy!"
Same.
Has to be one of the best "silent" scenes ever filmed. ....and best father/son tussle
Especially rusty listening to music.
Audrey's gum n the ashtray 🤣
Fun facts about stone henge.
A while back they built a replica only a few thousand feet away, out of lighter materials just across the road.
Someone pulled a prank and stole a stone from there and later put it at the real Stonehenge. When they did rounds to count the stones one day (yes they count the stones) they found the extra, freaked out and called the government. They set up quarantines and brought in investigators until they discovered the hoax.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's too cool.
Chevy has always been difficult. He’s infamous for it.
IN-Famous? The IN-Famous?
You were suppose to fire up! We both fired up!
@@chrisjones8743 Just like the in-famous El Guapo
IN-Famous? You mean he's more than famous? 😉😂
I’d love to see you cover both Weekend At Bernie’s and Johnny Dangerously (the latter having the same director as this).
Johnny Dangerously is fantastic! Awesome to see someone else remembers it.
Yes, please do Weekend at Bernie's!
YESSSSSS!!! I'd requested Weekend at Bernie's too i think--HOW did i not think of Johnny Dangerously?!?!
Also: Minty Dangerously... your first name is an adjective, your last name could be an adverb! :)
@@ChrisWolfe111 Also has an underrated Weird Al Yankovic song included in the movie, This is the Life.
You shouldn’t comment mate. My mother commented Once ! Once !☝️
No I think the spelling Error with the Family Name is intentional. In the Movie Clark says he has relatives in germany and wants to visit them only to end up in the wrong house. I guess tehy wanted to make the name fit because Griswald with an A has german roots, it could be an americanisation of Grieswald and I actually knew someone with the Grieswald Family name. And as for the Guy they actually visited, that is a famous german actor, Willy Millowitsch.
I love chevy chase, please do a fletch episode
Fletch and Caddyshack would be my picks.
Absolutely, fletch, fletch lives, both caddyshacks, spies like us
Lmao, spies like us is hilarious
Why not also include "Modern Problems" as well
That's a good one, cops and robbersons
"This must be where they sacrificed virgins...God, I miss Jack."
Great video! I agree such an underrated comedic gem with so many great lines
“Of course my daughters... Audrey and Rusty”
“Dad, I think he's gonna pork her.”
“He's not gonna pork her, Russ”
“I think he's gonna”
“He may pork her, finish your breakfast.”
My favorite Vacation movie.
Ok Minty time to do Fletch 1 & 2 and Spies Like Us
I agree.
Yes!!!
Absolutely
Doctor...
@@Dystopia1111 doctor.
Maybe it is growing up with my family going on vacations in Europe, but this was definitely my favorite of the series! 👍
Chevy has a seriously bad reputation in Hollywood. From this movie to the TV show Community and everything in between. Never heard anything good about this guy.
Same. It's never good things you hear
Yup. He's been in some classic movies and had very funny performances, but from everything that I've heard about him, he's a stuck-up, narcissistic, Prima Donna that nobody gets along with and hates working with. I loved his character on Community (one of those characters that you just love to hate) but he is also the reason that the show went off the rails after its third season. His stupid feud with Dan Harmon, who is by no means innocent, all caused by ego. No wonder he stopped finding any work besides the occasional cameo. Nobody wants to deal with him.
Yep. Him and Bill Murray both have the same reputation. Richard Dreyfuss said that he truly thought that he was bipolar. When they were filming ‘What About Bob’… he said he came back from lunch one day drunk, and put his nose on Richard Dreyfuss‘s nose and told him that he was just tolerated and nobody thought he was talented or wanted him around. Then proceeded to pick up a glass ashtray and threw it at his head. Missing by only a few inches. Dreyfus is convinced that he tried to hit him, but because he was drunk he missed. Said he’s never apologized.
So, unfortunately, some of the funniest people in the film are just hateful angry people in real life. I don’t know how anybody in that privileged position could be anything but grateful. But unfortunately, few are.
Honestly the only good thing I heard about him as his wife and daughter think he's a great family man. I'll give him that. Outside of that I totally believe he's a bastard.
I met him once, he was nothing but nice and really funny.
European Vacation has always been my favourite of the series.
You have good taste. 👍
European Vacation is my favorite of the series. I just think the highjinks and scenarios are the most creative and interesting. Those dream sequences on the airplane and the culturally significant gags in each country. Beverly looks the most beautiful and the kids are hilarious. The edgy, adult moments. The music is great.
Did I hear the following “the comedy classic Weekend at Bernies?”
What do you mean? The movie is a comedy classic.
Rusty's line "Oink, Oink my good man" is my favorite from the movie.
Never miss a vid, u r the best also this movie is one of my favourites, u should do one on Friday, College, ¡The Three Amigos! or the American Pie movies I would love to know more about these movies and I rekon heaps of people would too
Yes, I know I would!
The Three Amigos and Guapo😆
Minty already did the Three Amigo's.
Ummm..... no he didn't. WTF are you talking about???
@@brandonpage7087 Oh my bad, I was thinking "Amazing Top 10", got my channels crossed, ha-ha.
This movie had my favorite version of the Griswold kids along with the first one
European Vacation is the first one I saw back in the mid 80's as a little kid around eight years old and I loved it then, and I still love it now. It has always been my favorite out of all of them. The only disappointment I had with it as a kid was that they did not visit Greece. It would have been awesome to see them visit my parents homeland. I love all the vacation movies. They are all classics to me.
"There it is, kids...My motherland."
"But, dad...Grandma lives in Chicago!"
"Shut up, Russ."
0:47 Duude! I love that new Mars Attacks! mask in the background 👍
Thanks for doing this one Minty its one of my favorites! Especially the parts with Eric Idle, where Chevy Chase dances and gets into a fight with the guys, and how the guy at the sleezy motel calls them greaseball instead of griswald.
I always assumed Eddie wasn’t in the movie because he can’t afford to go to Europe.
Hi Minty. I worked on this movie, and loved your video. Brought back some fond memories. I watch all your videos. Keep up the great work. You're the number 1 film historian on CZcams 👍
Take any comedy's Rotton Tomato's score and double it.
Comedies are mostly given low scores. Like every movie should be some kinda art house film.
*rotten tomatoes
@@jamesanderson6373 sorry for the auto correction
@@williamblake2962 just giving you a hard time.
@Ben Hill you of course have your outliers. But for the most part it's hard to get a fresh score with a comedy.
William Blake I don't get Rotten Tomatoes at all, who are the oh so qualified critics? I admit they get a lot of it right, but most seem horribly underrated or falsely judged, like out of personal spite.
I would have loved seeing the Griswolds in Australia!
Ruining Ayers rock just like they demolished Stonhenge! ;-)
Haven’t we done enough with Crocodile Dundee and whatever that Aussie Polly Shore guy’s name was? You ready for Hollywood to fuck up a portrayal of Aussies again? 🤣
J/k I’d totally watch that. I wish they’d come here to The Alamo, too!
Hello Minty! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I simply LOVE how you host! I especially like when you focus on retro films from the 80's and 90's, so nostalgic. Keep up the good work!👍 Hugs from the UK ❤️
I guess they could have had Cousin Eddie joining the reserves or finishing his obligated reserve service in West Germany. He could have met up with the family in Oktoberfest by going AWOL and getting drunk and kicked out of the Army.
Honestly, Cousin Eddie's absence is the film's only detractor imo :)
That would've been clever. Nice job.
I think it makes his appearance in Christmas Vacation more fun and unexpected.
"If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now…”
European Vacation is my favorite of the series. Thank you for showing why it should be appreciated in all of its hilarity.
Good morning Minty! 😎
From behind the scene rumors of the show Community, it’s not hard to believe that Chevy Chase is indeed hard to work with....
I actually watched European vacation before Vacation, and maybe because of that I`m very fond of it. I was very suprised to learn it had so bad reviews. Thanks for the vid!
This was the movie I had on vhs as a kid and I would play it over and over all the time.
When I was a child we actually moved not to far from where they shot the Stonehenge scenes several months before they started filming. It was pretty big news. It was in the paper, the local news readers announced it on tv, and the location had fences with signs that indicated what was going on.
I seems like that Stonehenge scene engendered a lot of fun! Did you get to see it knocked down by the Griswold's?
When I first watched this when I was younger, I was so confused about Audrey, and Rusty being different actors. It did feel like some inside joke I didn't get yet.
One of my favorite movie from Vacation movies. Saw this movie on sunday mornings last month in April. And loved watching it. Thanks for this video Minty.
GREAT VIDEO! Thanks Minty. I actually watched European vacation recently, its my favorite of the franchise, and your right totally underrated. Well I love you pick out great 80's and 90's classic. Keep up the great work Minty. See ya!!!!!!!
Please do Strange Brew, and also do The Toy when you have time. PLEASE!!!!!!
Oh shit The Toy!!!! Definitely a throwback. "Aww come on wonder wheel" 😂😂😂😂
@@Solodolo84 The Toy was a favorite in my house! ❤️
The first two are my fave films of the series
I first saw this movie on TBS growing up. I’ve watched it several more times since then. I’ve come to see it as sort of a guilty pleasure. Too bad it often gets the short end of the stick with the rest of the franchise but I like it a lot. Thank you for doing this video.
This was my first vacation movie i saw. Love these videos MINTY
Excellent selection. Keep digging; how about the original 'Bad News Bears', next?
12:23 If I'm not mistaken that's the British guy who plays the senile drunk "Major" in John Cleese's "Fawlty Towers".
BFKC It is! 🙂
Yep the usual major oh yes why not indeed why not
Good job on the video Minty! Could you do National Lampoon' s Vegas Vacation video too? Thanks for your help as always!
I always look forward to your videos Minty. Great content and great channel. Keep it up man.
This was the only Vacation movie that was shown on TV when I was a kid. The nightclub scene you show at the end was shot in the Electric Ballroom in London. Around 15 years later a lot of that decor was still there although more decrepit.
Good to see the late Mel Smith get a namecheck. You should really check out the TV series 'Colin's Sandwich' which was a work of genius.
Griswald with an A would be a logical choice. "Wald" means forrest in German. This underlines their German heritage. Griswold with an O looks like a misspelling caused by the migration to the US of their ancestors.
Forest #ohtheirony 😂
"Me and my family are looking for sex"
Some family names have been altered beyond recognition over the years.
Clark's passport does bear the name Wilhelm, so the A in Griswald does make sense.
@@Rockerbeck Altered either when their ancestors arrived in the US or after WW1 when thousands of Americans with German heritage changed their family names and a lot of towns, schools, companies, ... also changes their names.
40 years have passed and the verdict is in. Its an absolute classic. One of the best comedies ever made.
Thanks for keeping the great content coming Minty.
How fascinatingly fun!🖤 Love The Grizwald family!🌌☠️🏴 Holiday Road... 👍
The Stone Hinge scene was the best scene in this movie. I always felt they should have had a group of tourists going to see the real Stone Hinge brought to the set when the fake one was destroyed to get some real time reaction to the destruction of Stone Hinge by Clark Griswald. It would have made for a good scene in the mvoie and for a really good laugh for the cast and crew to watch.
Love you're collection behind you.
Chevy Chase and Beverly d'Angelo did a commercial a few years ago, I can't remember what the product was for, where they reprised the Griswolds. However in the commercial, they got both Anthony Michael Hall and Jason Lively to appear. At one point in the commercial, Clark asks "Rusty" if he is good with something, and Anthony Michael Hall says yes, then Clark looks to Jason Lively and asks "Euro Rusty?"
Audrey's actress was fantastic.
The fish in the bowl is called "wanda"
Thanks for this! The Vacation movies are my favorite franchise from the 80's 90's era. I would sign-up for a new movie National Lampoon's Quarantine where the Griswold's goes each others nervs, being locked-up together with Eddie's family 🤣
Thank you for making your videos, it's good to be able to come here to get away from the craziness. Much love from this U.S. guy!
Clark Griswold: "Who The Hell Called Chicago?" Rusty Just Stands There Acting Like Nothing Happened But Clark Griswold Knows Who Did Called Clark Griswold: "AUDREY!" Audrey Griswold: " Oh Shit I'm Dead Meat Now"
"Audrey, you're father's not really going to castrate Jack. Are you Clark?...…..Clark?!?!?"
@@skyden24195 Clark Griswold: Okay I Won't.
@@skyden24195 , she said “You’re not really going to cut off Jack’s balls, are you?”
As a child of the 80s, European Vacation was MY National Lampoon movie! It was shown non-stop on HBO during my formative years!
Good job as always. Keep them coming.
Great review of another classic movie. Their is a mini Stonehenge in Ingram Texas near San Antonio.
Genuinely first. Made up. First time ever. Minty is the best!!! Never miss a video
I CAN'T GET OFF ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Look kids! Buckingham Palace, Parliament...
“Hey kids”
“We know..Big Ben...”
“Parliament!” 🤣
Loved all the Griswald Vacations, Vegas one was a damned good laugh too.
I just want to say I love your videos. I was born in 1982 and I feel like you understand and love the films I grew up with the way I do. You should really do one of my favorites of the 80's, JUST ONE OF THE GUYS. A brilliant piece of androgynous teen comedy. That was often shown as a free afternoon movie (edited however) on American television in the late 80's early 90's. Highly recommend it if you've never seen it. Cheers!

THE Facts of Life. down under
God I miss Jack
While staring at a gigantic sausage, lol
Excellent and entertaining as always. I did like this movie a lot when it came out.
Another interesting cameo to add is Rusty's love interest played by Moon Unit Zappa, Frank Zappa's daughter. His son Dweezil (the guy in the beret) is in Running man.
Love this movie. Also - loving that epic beard, Minty!
“God, I miss Jack”
awww my fave thanks bro
Great job! Dana Hill was also in the cult classics Welcome Home Jellybean and The Boy Who Left Home to Find out about the Shivers
Also, towards the end of the movie, when the rest of the family has deserted Clark, he's seen taking what is thought to be the first/earliest selfie ever shown in a movie or TV show.
I'm willing to bet the Vacation movies take place in alternate dimensions.
It would've made thrice as much money if they called it, "Rusty - The European Tour".
Your reviews and trivia are always fun. Are you going to do a National Lampoon Vegas Vacation review?
This video is long overdue, good work minty 👍🏻
My favorite part of this movie was “the waiter scene” classic
when I saw the A in "Griswald" in the gameshow, I just saw it as the Griswolds wasn't important enough or reveared enough to be payed attention to by the gameshow producers, a theme which I fellt present in the series since the car salesman ignores them and gives them a leftover behemoth of a vehicle, accurately counting on them quitely accepting their fate.
I missed the other "A"s
Loved all 3... these movies were staples of my childhood. Still love them
I love your work - it is spot on in many ways. Being a grandson of the industry (very little) I have to say, keep going!! You've got a great idea here, better than Siskel or Ebert. And it's charming and entertaining. I like to see things about movies that have been old friends to me for decades, and learn something new! Can you do 'Always'? It was the movie that made me realize, what am I waiting for?? and became the pilot I was supposed to become. But that's another story.
The actress who played Audrey also more famously voiced Max, Goofy's son, in the Goof Troop cartoon series.
Also Charles, 1 half of the Siamese ducks, sons of Duckman in Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man. Also Fallen Angel.
