I love this movie so much. Two years ago, my 6 year old daughter got me a mug for Christmas that says "I don't know, Margo". She got it because everytime she asked me something I didn't know (like why is December the last month of the year) , I would say that to her.
If she ever asks you why the carpet is all wet, you can just silently take a sip from your mug.
I've watched a lot of videos covering Christmas Vacation the last few days and this has some great info I had never heard before. Very well researched my friend great work on this video!
Many thanks, I'm happy to provide info on this classic!
now THIS is the right amount of movie trivia I could like! =) =)
A must see over the holidays. After watching Christmas Vacation, any antics my family get up to during the holidays seems insufficient.😊
The light-speed saucer sledding does set a high bar!
Although, sliding down Burnaby mountain on a block of ice is not that far off.
A guy I know owns the original painting for this poster, as well as some concept artwork. Unfortunately the sets for the Griswald neighborhood were recently demolished for new studio space.
That's amazing! Has he posted any photos of it? That would be something to see.
I was SHOCKED by the ART score!
What ART Score would you have awarded this Christmas Classic?
10:23
Perfect timing with editing in the "road grit" scene with the 2015 Vacation movie 🤣
Eat my road grit, liver lips!!!
There is rather was an alternate movie poster or add for National Lampoons Christmas Vacation which mirrors the first two! Chevy standing tall and proud with some beautiful woman standing next him in bikini's I haven't seen it since 1989. I guess it must be rare!🤔🎥🎅🎬
I certainly haven't come across it, that would be fascinating to see! The poster designs for the first 2 Vacation films were very distinct, that sort of Frazetta fantasy style
I have it!
Instead of a tennis racket, its a zapped cat by the tail!
that warner brothers sound clip was used in my marching band opener every year as a band director.
that must've sounded EPIC!
Just found your channel. Subbed up. I know it's late, but Merry Christmas, may your shitter be full of joy in the new year!
🙏Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE & WATCH IT EVERY YEAR DURING THE THE HOLIDAYS...
it's a must watch!
I saw that haggling scene in the theater in 1989
Crazy, I wonder why they cut it out?
Where did you get that amazing Friday the 13th Christmas sweater???
It was a gift from my lovely wife, many moons ago!
That’s a killer poster dude!!!!
It's a keeper for sure!
Excellent vid once again, scoring feels slightly harsh. You have great taste in posters!
Thanks! What would your ART Score be for this one?
Was National Lampoons a company or just a title for a bunch of movies?
It was a magazine first, a spinoff of the Harvard Lampoon. The magazine was a massive success, and they expanded into albums, radio and eventually film, their first production being "Animal House".
The poster is parodying the movie “Shocker”, which was released in October of 1989 just a few short months before the release of NLCV.
Most Lampoon movie posters parody a film that came before it, as a sort of way that the National Lampoon magazine also parodied real life events.
For instance, National Lampoon’s Vacation and European Vacation poster was a parody of an older “Star Wars” poster. The artist for both, Boris Vallejo, was heavily influenced by Tom Jung, who created the Star Wars poster. The NL versions were also parodies of the old “Conan the Barbarian” illustrations.
Though there wasn’t a whole lot of proof regarding the inspiration for the Vegas Vacation entry, the closest to poster to its likeness was “George of the Jungle”, however, VV was released nearly 5 months prior to George…
My honest assumption for VV’s poster was that it is simply self-parody of NLCV, as VV became self-aware of the changing actors playing the son and daughter of Clark Griswold.
Wow, thanks for writing out all of this info! I can certainly see the similarities between "Shocker" and this poster. If you have any sources for me to read, I'd love to check them out, I always want to research more details.
I have a black and white version of the original Christmas Vacation poster that looks like Boris' style. He only did European poster. He answered an email thread years ago, and he went back and forth with me. He did not do 1983 or The CV. He appreciated me sharing the clipping, but he had no idea WB had commissioned someone to mimick his style.
Its a shame that back then movies were just movies. And hardly anyting was made to last physical wise.
thankfully this poster continues to survive!
I have the original poster that looks like the first 2. It is super rare and in black and white--it's from a 1989 newspaper clipping for showtimes. If you'd be interested in seeing a pic of it, let me know and let's try to connect somewhere!
I'd love to see it! You can email me if you like, the address is listed with my channel info here on UA-cam
great review
Many thanks!
Wow. Rude. You see me more than once a year.
hehehehe
Uncle Eddie, is this your new account? 😄
3rd films better than original, Friday the 13th part 3, many find army of darkness GREAT ( it is) Die hard with a vengeance is the general go to fave sequel of many. um. Saw 3, a nightmare on elm street 3. that 2015 vacation, stupid, Uncle eddy's island adventure is better
I might have to fight you on Friday 3D: I think its hilariously fun, but F13 and Part 2 are better films I'd say, and Part 4 is better than 3D. Also wouldn't say Elm Street 3 is better than 1. An undebatable best part 3 is probably 'Thor: Ragnarok', but I'm not sure if that counts?
I like the movie .this and the simpsons movie
Hey, what about the quote, "Washing machines work hard?"
A reboot movie starring a side character actor from a TV show ("The Office," no less)?? No thank you! The most I've done with this movie is watch your video....thanks to the title. So, even though the movie is over 34 years old....I'm still not gonna watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
I for one, wholeheartedly feel that you are wrong sir. All posters should be pristine, with no creases. Your welcome to mail this to me, and I will do the service of trashing if for you (and no I will not provide proof).
You're right, TAKE MY GARBAGE! 😄
Chevy Chase Chevy Chase sign your poster are Randy Quaid be worth a lot money
❤
I am trying to find a way to message you. I have a collection of brand new posters from the late 80's early 90's. These are still in the tubes. My uncle owned a video store and these are the posters for the VHS tapes. There are 10 posters in a tube approximately 15 tubes. These are 30 year old brand new posters.
That's a wild collection! I'm mostly focusing on theatrically used posters that fit in my lightbox, but video posters of that era can be very cool.
@@Paper_and_Light these are the theater posters. They came with the videos to promote them.
@@Paper_and_Light Another rare alternate Christmas Vacation artwork has Chevy Chase wearing different clothing but still on the roof being electrocuted LOL!🏠🎅🕵🎥
@@kevinhughes7378 posters that were printed for video stores were typically a different size, and usually single-sided. They usually had the same artwork on them, but with an advertisement on the bottom, "Now on Videocassette' or something similar. How long did your uncle own the video store for? That would've been a sweet gig in the '80s.
@@SuperMarioBrosIIIthe European version of the Christmas poster depicted this! It's the 60" wide posters I believe. Different poster format than used in American theaters at the time.
finally 10 minutes into a 15 minute video actually talking about the poster, waste of my time
