This is one of the most popular Christmas movies here in Germany! It's almost a tradition in my family for over 30 years to watch this film at least once at Christmas time!
That is very cool! I saw all of these in theaters, makes me old, haha. Hello from Indiana US.😎👍
Did you see the one where they visit Germany?
Same with my family. This is one we try to watch every year.
@@shallowgal462 Another german here, yes and we rewatch them every few years :D
@@shallowgal462 Yes! 😉
Fun Fact: When Chevy went on his epic rant, the cast had pieces of paper pinned on their chests with various insults and words written on them that he could use sort of "mad lib" style, so he could make it up as he went.
When Clark saws off the loose banister post on the stairs, it's a callback to It's A Wonderful Life.
My wife makes us watch this every year , haven't got tired of it after 25 years
Aunt Bethany was played by Mae Questel who was best known for providing the voices for the animated characters Betty Boop (from 1931 & in over 50 animated short films….the longest stint for any actress in that voice role) and Olive Oyl (from 1933).
In 1988, she reprised her role as Betty Boop one final time, for a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Her final on screen appearance of her 67 year career, was as Aunt Bethany in 1989's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation….& what a way to round off a career!!!
Clarks boss was played by Brian Doyle Murray…..Bill Murray’s brother!! Brian Doyle Murray also plays Noah Vanderhoff in the incredibly funny Wayne’s World!!!
And don't forget that the Murray brothers were both in Groundhog Day. Another fantastically funny film!
Murray Brothers own restaurant named after Bill Murray's other iconic movie: 1980's Caddyshack. There are two locations: one in their home state of Illinois and other in Florida.
@@briangreen9677 2 of the brothers were in Scrooged too! Played the brother and the father
Play Ball!
Murray also was in Caddyshack with his brother
Every family has a Cousin Eddie. If yours doesn’t-it’s you! 😂
Fun fact. The old lady at the 15:48 mark was the voice of the orginal Betty Boop.
Ever since I was a kid and I watched these movies, it always gave me a warm feeling to see how, even though the movies make Cousin Eddie look like a nightmare and Clark is often annoyed with him, they also go out of their way to show that Eddie is just oblivious instead of malicious, and both him and Clark obviously care a lot for each other.
"His heart's as big as his brain."
"I appreciate that Clark."
I love how in all the "Vacation" movies, that their two kids (Audrey and Russ) are recast each time, and flip as to who's the older one... too funny! And you gotta love Eddie!
They didn't recast them in European Vacation.
@@wyrmshadow4374 yes they did dana barron and anthony michael hall were in the first film as the kids and in European vacation it was dana hill and jason lively and for xmas vacation it was Juliette lewis and Johnny galecki
I think I counted six different Russ actors including Ed Helms.
They did bring Dana Barron back as Audrey in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure.
@@wyrmshadow4374 Lol. They didn't even look similar. Nice try
Isn't it funny how there are so many romantic Christmas movies, but not many at all about the 'delights' of spending Christmas with the family, ha ha.
Addie seems like a holiday spirit kind of gal!
Thank you for having fun, you really need to see the original National Lampoon's Vacation to get the vibe of who the Griswold's (and Eddie) are.
Did she have fun? I didn’t see her laugh one time. Ive never seen somebody watch this movie and not laugh.
She is a Christmas Angel 😇 what do you expect a Ricky Ricardo laugh? Her little giggle and beautiful smile are better than any phony reactor laugh. She isn't Jimmy Fallon with his stupid seal clapping.
I've seen Cousin Eddie before, and if you want to see him again, try watching the original _National Lampoon's Vacation_ , in which Clark would literally do anything to make sure that his family gets the trip to a fictional theme park that they expect.
Fun reaction, Addie. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) really made you crack up, just as it did for me. It's definitely a must-watch for every holiday season. Here's a tidbit, if you look closely at the start of the credits, Clark is seen petting the dog, Snots, whom everyone was afraid to pet, due to his sinuses. BTW, nice sweater and Santa hat. It really puts you into the festive mood. And I'm so glad that you feel in your element this month.
Hallelujah. Holy Shit. Where's the Tylenol!
What about the Star Trek (2009) reaction? I can't wait to see it!
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I am not going to lie I committed the whole Clark Rant to memory in case I ever need to use that on a boss I dislike and I plan on leaving that job.
This was the first VACATION movie I watched on NBC back in the 90's and it's still pretty hilarious!
All that Clark wants is a normal family Christmas, but not everything goes according to plan.
I love your reactions. But I literally cheered when I saw this title pop up in my notifications
As an 80s kid, I quoted this movie constantly for my middle school friends. Always got a wheezing, drooling laugh out of them.
I used to quote the "it's nipply outside" when I was in middle school LOL
The actress who played Aunt Bethany also did the voice for Betty Boop.
23:13 I don’t know how Chevy Chase made it through this scene without, um, erecting his own Xmas tree, cuz Beverly D’Angelo is gorgeous… 🎄
This is the Third Vacation movie, (why you didn't get the Eddie reveal) the parents and Uncle Eddie remain the same in each film, but the kids change. The son in this film is played by the same actor that played Leonard in the Big Bang Theory.
Except for the spin off National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure where Dana Barron returns as Audrey.
When I was a kid we went and chopped down our own tree a few times.
Was lots of fun and thankfully wasn't like that 🤣
Aunt Bethany is portrayed by Mae Questel. She was the voice of Olive Oyl (in the Popeye cartoons) and Betty Boop in the 1930s.
Christmas disasters can only happen to this extent with determination and hard work.
If you've seen Big Bang Theory, Johnny Galecki who plays Russ in this is the same actor who played Leonard
Addie, have you watched “It’s a Wonderful Life”? It’s a great Christmas movie, if you haven’t seen it yet!
So funny. Every time I see the boards bit in the attic, I can't help thinking of the rule of threes. Pretty well-executed example, imo.
Ooh a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation reaction. Hold on, let me get the rubber sheets and the gerbils.
Cousin Eddie standing up when Aunt Bethany saying the Pledge of Allegiance was completely ad-libbed
Randy Quaid posted on Twitter last year that he will stand on your lawn in a white bathrobe with a big house, smoking a cigar and drinking a beer... but it cost $10 million.
How much Without the cigar?
Also the actress who plays his wife never changes in all of these movies 💯💯🌟
1:01 Looking forward to "getting in the mood" with you, Addie! 😝🙈🤣
4:09 "Also, you look terrifying." You may not have realized, but he's supposed to look like a horror movie serial killer here. The overall look (especially the hockey mask) is reminiscent of the villain from the Friday the 13th series -- although Google tells me he never used a chainsaw.
"Where's the Tylenol?" makes me laugh every single time. This film is like "Dumb and Dumber" in that it somehow gets better every time you watch it.
"Holy shit, hallelujah!" 😎
The actor who plays his son is none other than one of the stars in TBBT 😂
A Classic holiday tradition every year. 😎👍
For some reason every time he gets on that sled I do one of those ugly cackle laughs
The actor who played his boss, his name is Brian Doyle Murray he is the older brother of Bill Murray and Joel Murray, rip John Randolph, E G Marshall, Doris Roberts, William Hickey and Mae Questel,
Super fun movie. Thanks for watching with us!! 😀🎄
Addie, you really need to see the first "Vacation." That's where you meet Cousin Eddie and his crazy brood for the first time.
All The Ederly actors In laws were legends starting out in TV
Oh, I’m in the mood…../ the Christmas mood that is 😂
ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE!!! Ma’am!!! Merry Christmas
If there's one thing you can take away from this film, it's that no matter how bad your Christmas is, at least you haven't had a Griswold-level disaster.
If you want to know who Cousin Eddie is, you have to watch the original _National Lampoon's Vacation_ from 1984. It's a hilarious road trip movie in much the same vein as this.
This movie is in our family's pantheon of holiday classics, along with _It's a Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer_ and _Die Hard._ Yes, _Die Hard_ is most definitely a Christmas movie.
Can't believe you don't watch "Home Alone" on Christmas Eve!
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER: When Chevy punched Santa he actually Broke a Finger (Which is why he only Kicked the Reindeer).
FOR CLARK'S RANT, The Cast members were holding signs for him while they all had their backs to the Camera.
This movie and A Christmas Story are my go toos for Christmas movies! Great reaction!
Christmas Vacation and Home Alone are my Christmas movie musts.
Can't forget the mature adult home alone which i might get heat for aka DIE HARD
I get the feeling this wasn't quite up your alley, which is fine! If you haven't seen Elf you may enjoy that more. It's a wholesome Christmas comedy.
Vacation in order --- Vacation (1983), European Vacation (1985), Christmas Vacation (1989), Vegas Vacation (1997) and Vacation (2015) which the Son (Russ Griswold) takes his kids to Wally World.. but the parents (Chevy Chase and Beverly DeAngelo) have a cameo.
Between this and A Christmas Story growing up, I'd watch both all day at different grandparents' houses. They never get old.
Great reactions to one of my favorite Christmas films, Santa Addie!!!!🎅🏽🎄🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Probably my favoritest Christmas movie. DIe Hard comes in at a close second.
Kind of needed to watch the original National Lampoon's vacation to know some of these family members but nonetheless great reactions
The actor who plays Clark's boss is Bill Murray's real life brother
Clark does a lot of questionable things but at the end of the day he’s just a dude who wants to give his family the best Christmas and he can’t catch a break lol
Clark Griswold did it, made it through Christmas with the extended family
I always interpreted it to mean, after the disastrous Wally World and European trip, that his high hopes for a family gathering were finally fulfilled. Makes the ending even more sweet.
🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎶 ✌️
Fun Fact: the actress who played Aunt Bethany was the original Betty Boop!
Clark's craziness is usually the most visible in his eyes. Watch the eyes. 😳
Merry Xmas Addie, thanks for your great reactions. Compliments of the Season to all the other Subscribers & commentators !!
Happy Holidays young lady, and thanks for all the wonderful reactions.
Your sweater's colors and design are cute and it looks comfy.
I bet most don't recognize young John Galicki from Big Bang Theory as Russ.
I didn't even mean to save this vid for Christmas but I'm glad I did! Your excitement is contagious!
"Is this more family... that I've never seen before?"
Cousin Eddie and his family were first introduced in the original National Lampoon's Vacation movie from 1983. People who watch Christmas Vacation without first seeing the original Vacation often get confused when Eddie and his family show up.
Always in the mood 🎄
Me and my grandpa watched this every year. He passed away in 2013. So I've continued the tradition with my kids :) thank you for reacting to this one!!
***Also try "Surviving Christmas" (Matt Damon & Christina Applegate) Its a Rom-Com Christmas favorite****
Shitters full is my favorite line
Great reaction! I really like your editing!
Aunt Bethany played by Mae Questel was the voice of Betty Boop, & Olive Oyl .
Most patriotic Christmas ever!
#2 behind A Christmas Story as my favorite ever.
We watch this the night after Thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas season every year. The song at the beginning means its Christmas time!
I wanted to see your reaction on "mele kalikimaka" scene. 🙂Btw. a lot of people can not recognize Clark's son Rusty played by Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter from BBT)
I watch this every Christmas. Love it.
I LOVE this movie! GREAT reaction and comments!
Best Christmas and best Lampoon film.
I try to say "It's a bit nipply out" at least once during Christmas.
I hope around Christmas this year you’ll do The Shop Around the Corner (1940), it’s a cute Christmas rom-com starring Jimmy Stewart who played George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life.
12:03 This is why you need to watch movies in release order.
Happy Holidays Everyone ,As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's , Sweetheart 😊
The kid playing Russ is Johnny Galecki who was Leonard on The Big Bang Theory Addie.
When Clark hits the santa decoration he did break a finger but pushed through it. Also the studio was really worried that the audience would not respond well to the cat electrocution but the director insisted the joke will work and fought to keep it in
Best Christmas movie ever!
Have you seen the first two films yet? If not, please do. And maybe the fourth.
Did you recognize the son as David on Roseanne and The Conners, and Leonard on Big Bang?
Merry Christmas Addie
Great reaction!👍
I really like your opening music. I am a huge Bossa Nova fan. I even took some Brazilian Portuguese language lessons.
A staple Xmas movie!
You have to see the original Vacation to know who Cousin Eddie is. I recommend that one too.
I remember seeing this in the theater
Definitely an 80's Christmas classic.
Addie if you haven't see it I definitely recommend "A Christmas Carol" (U.S.title )/"Scrooge" (U.K.) from (1951) Generally acknowledged to be the greatest on screen Ebenezer Scrooges, played by
(Alistair Sim) and he deserves the reputation. Someone said he was the best Scrooge "because he displays the greatest Joy of salvation and humility after his repentance" It was originally in black in white but there is a color version.
I also recommend Elf from 2003
It's a funny and heartwarming Christmas movie
Love this movie
Aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop in the cartoons.
You have become my favorite UA-cam reactor....love your personality! ❤️
Been a very long time since I've seen this one
i just love addie
Don't know if you ever watched Big Bang Theory but you may recognize the actor playing Russ is Leonard on BBT.
***Must do "MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947)"****
Katherine is Ellens cousin.
