For me I would be watching Christmas 1996 when we got an N64. I was 8.
Best Christmas ever.

Saw this at the theater in the mall with my family as a kid. My dad laughed so hard when he got knocked out by the attic ladder that my mom left the theater in disgust. He was laughing non-stop overwhelming the theater and that was the final straw. My dad is the greatest.

"I don't KNOW, Margo!"
Definitely the most quoted line in our house year round!
I work with a woman name Margot (who actually goes by Jill). I get so excited when she asks me a question so I have an opportunity to use this quote back to her. And in years she's never given me **** about it.

Our family watches this movie every December. Chevy Chase is currently doing a tour where you watch the movie and then he does a Q&A. He answered questions and gave behind the scenes information for 75 minutes. It was a really neat experience for us.
Did you go to this in Sugar Land? How full was it? I wondered what the crowd would be like for something like this and thought that was a very large venue for this type of event.

Did anyone ask how he ran off the director mid filming because Chase is a giant a hole?
I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery.
We were there monday night. It was not very full. The front section was packed. We ended up moving to an empty area just to spread out. Chevy was great, but that was about the worst popcorn i have ever paid $10 for.
Fun Useless Trivia Fact:
The actress that played Aunt Bethany is Mae Questel. She was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.

My favorite hidden gem was when Clark asks "what about the kids"
Eddie: If only I had back the money that me and Catherine sent the TV preacher who was screwing the hockey players...
Clark: What about kids?
Eddie: Oh his kids can fend for themselves I don't even ummm (dismissal hand waive)
Clark: No Eddie your kids
Eddie: If only I had back the money that me and Catherine sent the TV preacher who was screwing the hockey players...
Clark: What about kids?

Clark: No Eddie your kids
i love these jokes in rewatchable movies that fly right over your head as a kid but are great as an adult.Garrelli 5000 said:

When the SWAT team and cops show up at the end and someone yells freeze, Ellen is bent over with her hand over Clark's crotch. As the "introductions" are made, she moves her hand and waves and immediately puts her hand back.
Hallelujah, Holy *****
I swear we've watched this movie at least 30 times over the last 15 years and we only caught it within the last two years. I think I always focused on the dog food dripped onto the box of lightbulbs.
I don't remember this exchange at all. What scene?
Amazing. Literally the scene I said was my favorite and I never even caught the dialogue there because I was so focused on the light bulbs being crushed.
My gawd. I faintly remember the TV preacher part, but that's it.
Love how he just casually lifts over a 100lbs of dog food lol.
this scene alone;
This is just a real nice surprise, and
Something.. real nice (with the mouth noise and hand gesture)
you can throw these in conversations literally almost weekly.

'let's go find your sister'
I love that part.. so inappropriate!
And the rubber sheets and gerbils. Man some of this stuff is hopefully over my 9 and 11 year old boys heads for a while!

And the giant bulge down Eddie's pant leg. lol! I finally figured out several years back why the CEO's wife said the CEO was kidnapped by a "giant, bulging man".

We were at Bass Concert Hall, Austin. I thought really full for a Wednesday. And yes, he addressed Ellen's hand placement during the raid scene
Laughing at my desk reading this thread. Christmas Vacation is the best. We usually watch it way too early in the season. I've saved it this year.

I also like this exchange:
Eddie: Your company the one that killed off all those people in India?
Clark: No, we missed out on that one.
I'd like to point out that there's a Mandela Affect in this movie…
Finish this sentence from the famous book 'Twas the Night Before Christmas…
And mama in her kerchief and I in my cap, had just settled ______________ for a long winters nap.
What word goes in the blank?
Did you say down?. Cause if so, you're wrong like I was. The correct answer is: our brains.
When I discovered this I immediately thought of this movie with the scene where Clark is reading the same book to the family right before Eddie comes back cause I'd seen this movie countless times and knew this movie had said DOWN for a long winters nap.
Whelp…..

What's wrong with the rubber sheets and gerbils? I always took it to mean that his kids were bed wetters and that they had gerbils…reinforcing that they are the worse guests you could have in your house.
From Vacation (my favorite movie of all time): Eddie says when the baby comes I can quit one of my night jobs.
I yell "the ****ter's full" most days. Not sure my wife thought it was funny at first. But after 1,000 times, she definitely hates it.
I'm wearing socks today where the left one says: "When Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight"
And the right one: "He's gonna find the jolliest bunch of *******s this side of the nuthouse"

really… him saying it the way he does makes you think of bedwetters??!?Queso1 said:62strat said:

.
Ironically, there was a bed wetting scene that was cut; but I'm betting it was no accident Randy delivered the line the way he does and they cut the scene.
Remember, cousin Eddie taught his daughter how to French kiss, per the first one.
This gerbil business is implying Richard Gere stuff!

You're goofy.

I think Randy Quaid was just as funny as Chevy Chase. Their scenes together are pure gold. Couple of the lines that always crack me up -
"He's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish."
"That somethin' ain't it? She falls down a well, her eyes go crossed. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back to normal. I don't know."
"Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so."
I don't know how Chevy Chase kept it together in the scene outside when Eddie and family crashed the lighting ceremony, or that next scene in the house with Eddie and Clark in the living room by the Christmas tree. It looks like Randy Quaid is just ad libbing and just keeps going deeper and deeper. I keep hoping there is a long lost reel of film somewhere that eventually gets found and released. I bet there are some hilarious outtakes of those scenes. One of the funniest, most quotable movies ever made.
"I don't know if I oughta go sailin' down no hill with nothin' between the ground and my brain but a piece of government plastic."
Clark: "Do you really think it matters, Eddie?"
Sometime in 1984 or so I saw the OG Vacation at a friends house on HBO or home video, don't recall. It was a defining moment in my life. Bev's amazing tay tays in the shower scene forever remain one of the happiest memories of my childhood.
I can appreciate both European and Christmas Vacation but must admit that the lack of repeat viewing of Bev's amazing globes was terribly disappointing and kind of ruined both films for me.

So much "BN" in 80s comedies.
I always loved "Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
