"Christmas Vacation" movie...what's your favorite part!!

[RUDisney]

I like Clark's rant when he get his "Jelly of the month" bonus. You know the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.

Pass the Tylenol!!!

What makes this even funnier for us is that my employer gave 8 jars of Harry and David jelly one year to all of the employees. We kept joking that our employer was too cheap to give us jelly for every month of the year.

"Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, kiss my ___. Kiss his ___. Kiss your ___. Happy Hanukkah"

And, let's not forget that Clark serves his egg nog in Marty Moose cups.

This has taken over from It's A Wonderful Life as our favorite Christmas movie.

"Why is the carpet all wet Todd??"

"I don't KNOW Margo!"


Love the scene when the swat team breaks into Margo's living room.... "If you want to come in, you're going to have to break down the ***** door!"

The whole movie makes me laugh.... start to finish....

Eddie: "Yeah, I got the daughter in the clinic, getting cured off the Wild Turkey. And, the older boy, bless his soul, is preparing for his career."
Clark: "College?"
Eddie: "Carnival."
Clark: "You got to be proud."
Eddie: "Oh, yeah. Yeah, last season he was a pixie-dust spreader on the Tilt-O-Whirl. He thinks that maybe next year, He'll be guessing people's weight or barking for the Yak woman. You ever see her?"
Clark: "No."
Eddie: "She's got these big horns growing right out above her ears. Yeah, she's ugly as sin, but a sweet gal. And, a hell of a good cook."

This has been a tradition with my grandson and I to watch. He thinks the movie is dumb but is thoroughly amused at the way I laugh til I choke.

I love the movie from the very start when they try and beat out the redneck truckers and get caught under an 18 wheeler. Then the trek to the tree. Audrey having to wait to see it because her eyeballs are frozen. Rusty asking if they remembered the saw. Driving back home with a tree that is gigantic and a giant ball of roots. If they brought no tools how did they dig it up? It reminds me of my DH's quest for the perfect tree. One year we all sat with our heads at a 90 degree angle because the tree was bigger than our apartment.

One of my other favorites is when the swat team breaks in and Ellen goes to shake the sergeants hand. He says, "I said freeze" so she returns her hands to Clarks crotch. I will have to dig it out to watch while I am laid up this weekend after my surgery. Thank you all for some good laughs this morning.

"I don't KNOW, Margot!"

Love that line so much that I've actually used it on DW.

I love the part where the cat lights up the room!!!

Clark: Do you smell something?
Cousin Eddie: Yeah, Fried pussycat.

Cousin Eddie: That there's an RV Clark. Now you don't go fallin in love with it cause we're takin it with us when we leave next month.

Rusty: Oh, woo. Look at the time. I gotta get to bed. I still gotta brush my teeth, feed the hog, still got some homework to do, still got those bills to pay, wash the car...

 

[Donaldswife]

We watch it every year while we set up out tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. LOVE the entire movie!

Clark: Oh, I was just smelling - smiling. I was just blouse - browsing. I, uh, heh heh. Well, I guess it just wouldn't... Oh hee hee, it wouldn't be the Christmas shopping season if the stores were any less hooter than they - HOTTER than they are. Whew. It is warm in here, isn't it?
Mary: You have your coat on.
Clark: Yes, oh do I? Yeah, it is a bit nipply out. I mean nippy. What am I saying, nipple?

Aunt Bethany: "Is Rusty still in the Navy?"

If you don't yet have it, you need to get to your local Hallmark store and pick this up:

Push the button and it lights up and the Hallelujah Chorus plays.

I HAVE to get this!! I just passed Hallmark a little while ago.

Clark sitting in the attic with the turban, gloves and stole looking at the movies. And Clark with the parka trimmed in fur with his eager face going down the hill to sledding infamy. Truly a classic. Passing it on to our boys.

Love those parts.

"Where do you think you're going to put that tree, Griswold?" "Bend over & I'll show you".

"You've got a lot of nerve talking ot me like that, Griswold."

"I wasn't talking to you."

 

[kimmar067]

Aunt Bethany: "What's that sound? You hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound."
Uncle Lewis: "You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant."

 

[kimmar067]

"Clark, I think it'd be best if everyone went home... before things get worse."
"WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of HELL!"

We just watched this movie last night.

I love when Clark has his tantrum when the lights won't work and he starts beating up the reindeer and Santa in the yard.

 

[Tiger926]

"Eddie's holding out for a management position."

Hubby and I quote this all of the time, especially since a lot of his family has this attitude.

The whole movie is so darn hilarious!!!!! Tiger

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

The sledding scene would have to be the funniest moment I remember from the first time I saw Christmas Vacation. Now I love the parts where the turkey is brought to the table, Aunt Bethany singing the Star Spangled Banner when Santa and his sleigh are flying across the sky (and ending it with Play Ball, like that is part of the lyrics), the cat chewing on the Christmas lights and Eddie fetching Clarke's boss. Oh, and how could I forget the a grand total of 25,000 imported Italian twinkle-lights! It's Clarke Griswolds fault that we now have the Osbourne Spectacle of Lights at WDW.

 

[muffyn]

we always put a stuffed "real" squirrel in our tree.

our son in law would love to figure out a way it could pop out every now & then.....

 

[Nancyg56]

Love this rant! Also:

Clark: Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny ****ing Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white *** down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of *******s this side of the nuthouse.

My favorite! I love this movie, it would not be Christmas if we did not watch it
