The actress that plays Aunt Bethany, Mae Questel, played the famous classic cartoon characters, Betty Boop and Olive Oyl back in the 30s and 40s. Have a Merry Christmas Mary ❤️🎄🍒

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!

You really need to see "National Lampoon's Vacation" to 'get' Clark. Plus it's hilarious!

There are a lot of famous actors in this. The kids as well, Juliette Lewis is well known for roles in From Dusk Till Dawn or Cape Fear, and Rusty is played by none other than Johnny Galecki, who plays Leonard in Big Bang Theory (or Darlene's boyfriend in Roseanne).

14:57 Mary mistakenly thinking Chicago is New York in reactions has become a running joke at this point. 😜

My family watches this every Christmas Eve. I can recite Clark's rant about his boss verbatim.

It's quite funny that Chevy's Scrooge boss is played by Brian Doyle-Murray, who acted with his younger brother Bill in 'Scrooged'. Two Murrays play a Scrooge!

As a kid in the Chicagoland area in the 90’s I always wished we got the snow around Christmas like these movies showed. Sometimes it happened but it usually isn’t until January. This year however…..

the fireball that burns the tree gets me everytime. I'm in tears!

The boss is played by Bill Murray's brother. This is one of my absolute favorite Christmas movies.

"I haven't seen Chevy Chase act before as a younger actor." Two words: Caddyshack, and Fletch.

NEVER tell someone who's pissed off to calm down. Here's what does: it takes all their anger and frustration and gives it a target: the person who told them to calm down.

The National Lampoon movies are such a fun time. They hold so much nostalgia. This is probably my favorite out of them

The joke about Clark forgetting the saw actually has more to it. There’s been promo shots (I remember seeing some on the back of the first blu-Ray I had of it) of the Griswold family going to a tree lot to buy a tree. But the lot is very lousy so instead of sucking it up and going to a different lot Clark just walks his family into the woods to find a tree. He was fully intending to just buy a tree, that’s why he didn’t bring the saw.

My favorite Christmas movie. The scene where Clark is looking at the film reel of his childhood to Ray Charles singing Spirit of Christmas brings back so much nostalgia.

Cousin Eddie outside in a robe that is balls high drinking a Schlitz,smoking a stogie at 7 am and Clark's Christmas rant make this movie Iconic

You really need to see the other Vacation movies to full appreciate what great a character Clark Griswold is.

That's so strange because it's such a Christmas staple here. It's one of those movies you think EVERYONE has seen.

True anecdotal story. My mother's name is Bethany. She was at a gathering at a church. They stood up to pray, everyone had their head down. She turned to the flag and put her hand over her heart. My dad absolutely lost it. Couldn't stop laughing. We have watched this as a family every year since it came out. So it made it that much funnier 🤣

Chevy Chase didn't get "cancelled", but he is legendarily difficult to work with and has a tendency to lash out. A lot of Pierce's behavior on Community was written as an exaggeration of his real-life behavior and Chevy became increasingly aware of that fact.

This movie is one of my favorites. You don’t need to watch the other movies to get it, although I suggest more people watch them. But it’s hilarious, getting older I feel like it becomes more relatable every time I see it, my parents love this one and we watch every year.

National Lampoon’s Vacation and Europeon Vacation are also worth a watch.

One of my favourite Christmas films!

National Lampoons “Vacation” and “European Vacation” are highly recommended. You will definitely enjoy them.

Stogie is slang for cigar. Eddie is Ellen's cousin. Eggnog is quite tasty! It is very dessert-like like a sweetened creamy vanilla ice cream drink, people usually garnish it with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Aunt Bethany is 100% my mother. When she comes into the house and they tell her to go say hello to everybody and she replies with an ecstatic "Hello Everybody!" I die laughing every time. That is just like my mother. She is not all there but we love her nonetheless.

This is one of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time, surprised you've never seen it! There are also three other National Lampoon's Vacation movies starring the Griswolds. They're all worth watching!

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊

"FROHE WEIHNACHTEN" from Germany! 🎄❤️

"They're never gonna get rid of that sap." Well, Clark is the man of the house...

The order of the NL movies are: 1)National Lampoon's Vacation 2)National Lampoon's European Vacation (which has Erik Idle from Monty Python in it) 3) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 4) Vegas Vacation They also have a recent movie called "Vacation" that starts with Clarke's son, Rusty, and his family.

Clark's boss is played by Bill Murray's brother. He also makes a cameo in quite a few of Bill's movies.

This is my family’s favorite Christmas movie!!! We can quote the entire movie by heart, and my dad is the living embodiment of Clark Grizzwald !!!

Cousin Eddy was introduced in the first movie of the series called "National Lampoon's Vacation." Cousin Eddy is played by actor Randy Quaid who is the brother of actor Dennis Quaid. Randy Quaid has won the Golden Globe award, and has been nominated for an Academy Award and for several Emmy awards in his career. Randy Quaid is both a serious actor and a comedic actor. His career is quite accomplished. One of his best movies is a movie called "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson, and one of his funniest movies is a movie called " Kingpin" starring Woody Harrelson. Thanks for the reaction Mary, and your intelligent point of view.

"I didn't go berserk, I simply solved a problem. We needed a coffin... I... I... I mean... a tree" Greatest line of the movie 🤣🤣

Chevy Chase was also very good friends with the founder of National Lampoon and did a lot of work with him in the 70s. And then John Hughes wrote for it in the 80s. I remember finding old issues of National Lampoon in my grandparents basement, that presumably belonged to my uncles. It was like Mad magazine, but with raunchier humor, laid out like a more typical print magazine than Mad was, and much to the delight of my 14-year-old self, had naked ladies in it 😁.

As some others have pointed out, this is the third _Vacation_ movie. If you watch the two that preceded this one, you'll learn that with Clark Griswold, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. That's why he always gets into these zany situations. However, as you so beautifully noted, he is a family man at heart. He wants to please them more than anything. It's worth looking up Chevy (pronounced with a hard *ch,* like in the word *check)* Chase's other films, because they're very funny. Most of what he made in the 1970s and 80s is good. The quality of his movies trailed off in the 90s and beyond. Russ is played by Johnny Galecki, who's most known for his role as Leonard in _The Big Bang Theory._ Audrey is played by Juliette Lewis, who has a bunch of other roles for which she's better known. I recommend _Natural Born Killers_ or _Strange Days_ as a couple of her good dramatic turns. One of the gags for the _Vacation_ series is the kids are played by different actors in each movie, and they trade places as to which child is the elder child. William Hickey (Uncle Lewis) was a great character actor. His stature and nasal voice were his calling cards.

Trivia: The house next door to the Griswolds is the house used in the Lethal Weapon films for Murtaughs house (the exterior)

A lot of fun. You so need to see the 1st VACATION (that's the best one) - Mary Christmas :D

This was a movie that me and my family would watch every night on Christmas Eve we would always laugh at Aunt Bethany and Chevy’s performances. Thank you for uploading on this on my 20th birthday. Have a Merry Christmas Mary!

7:04 - Oh man... I remember those incandescent Christmas lights. They were always breaking, burning out, and used so much electricity. The LED bulbs are sooooo much easier.

I usually just watch specific parts of reaction videos, but this move is too good. I had to watch this whole video. Nice job, Mary!

I saw this when it came out on VHS and nothing has made me laugh as hard as SPACEBALLS like this one (not even HOME ALONE). Clark absolutely losing his shit and punching Santa in the face and kicking him into the bushes is without question the funniest thing I've ever seen in any movie and it never gets old.

A really goofy movie is The Three Amigos, with Chevy Chase, Martin Short, and Steve Martin.

I watch this movie every year. It is hilarious and definitely the best Vacation movie from National Lampoons. Great characters, so many memorable lines and a main character that is genuinely trying to do the right thing for everyone just so they will be happy.

If you enjoyed this movie you should really check out the original National Lampoon's Vacation and National Lampoon's European Vacation! This was actually the 3rd movie in the series.

Clark's rant about his boss is one of my favorite rants.

This movie gave birth to the expression "Griswold House", which is a house that is overly decorated in a gaudy fashion to celebrate Christmas. Ellen Lantzen wore a wig to play Ruby Sue. The producers didn't think he pixie haircut was "appropriate"

This and Ferris Bueller are two of my favorite movies set in New York.

"Rusty" was originally played by Michael Anthony Hall (The Breakfast Club), In the First National Lampoon Movie, but he outgrew the part. THIS Rusty is none other than Johnny Galecki, "Leonard" from the Big Bang Theory!

National lampoon’s Animal House is an all time classic

It's my family's tradition to watch this movie every Christmas Also the son is played by Johnny Galecki, who would play Leonard in Big Bang Theory

Eggnog with a shot of Cognac, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dash nutmeg. A little drink I call Christmas Cheer.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 😄

@15:14 "How's he even remember how she looks?" Oh, Mary...our precious, dear innocent Mary...

This is one of my favoueite Xmas films. This is actually the third one with Vacation and then European Vacation being the first 2.

Griswold movies made me laugh ages ago on VHS, and shockingly it worked now again. Was surprised to see Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki in their baby-age. Mary's singing was great, so great, wow!

The grandpas snoring at 7:22 is so accurate.

This is one of my favourite Christmas movies. Great cast. Even young Johnny Galecki (Big bang theory) is great.

This film caught my smile indeed Merry Christmas Mary.

I remember when I first saw this I hadn't ever seen a Wal-Mart, there weren't any around where I lived ...I sure miss those days.

Oh no, the laughs weren't coming where they were supposed to! 🤣🤣 jeez hun!

This was the third of four National lampoon movies with those characters.

This was the first Vacation movie on NBC back in the early 90's. All Clark wants is a normal family Christmas but not everything goes according to plan.

“Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.”

In my family, we watch this after Thanksgiving dinner to start off the season.

Randy Quaid's character is Clark's cousin Eddie, whom was first introduced, along with his family, in the original National Lampoon's Vacation from 1983. You have to watch the first movie to understand who he is because people who watch Christmas Vacation first tend to get confused by his arrival.

Hes gonna need that 20% bonus just to pay the electric bill from all of those lights have a merry christmas mary

Merry Christmas, Mary. Have a wonderful one!

The actress the plays Aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop

This was about the only national lampoon movie I really liked. Maybe one or two others but I cannot remember them for the life of me.

You should check out the other Vacation movies, there's Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation

Loved your reaction, Mary! FYI, the sing Aunt Bethany sang at the end is the American national anthem. Your reactions always brighten my day. Merry Christmas, Mary!

Mary said how does he even remember what she looks like….. oh Mary we never forget 👍🏻

Loved the reaction Mary ,have a Merry Christmas

In the neighborhood I grew up in we had a neighbor who would over decorate their house with Xmas lights and we called it the Griswold House.

The daughter is played by Juliette Lewis, an excellent actress in her own right. Cape Fear(the remake), Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Kalifornia all excellent movies of hers.

Chevy was a master of pratfalls, he was on Saturday night live and would do them live in front of and occasionally on the audience.

One of my top two or three Christmas movies for sure.

While filming the scene where Clark takes out his frustrations over the Christmas lights not working on the lawn ornaments, Chevy Chase broke his little finger when he punched the Santa Claus. That's why he started kicking them instead. Chris Columbus was supposed to direct this movie, but after two weeks, he decided he couldn't work with Chevy Chase, so he asked screenwriter John Hughes for another script. The script Hughes gave him was for another screenplay he had written called "Home Alone" Chevy Chase (Clark), Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Margo), and Brian Doyle-Murray (Mr. Shirley) have all been cast members of Saturday Night Live. This is the only "Vacation" movie where the Griswalds don't travel anywhere, and it's the only one that doesn't feature the song "Holiday Road" by Lindsay Buckingham.

National Lampoon's Vacation is the semi-prequel to this.

If you haven’t seen it A Christmas Story is a definite must.

Merry Christmas, Mary! ❤🍒

Since you enjoyed this one, you should definitely check out the first of the series, it's absolutely hilarious and, in my opinion, the best of the bunch (two and four were also pretty good too). Happy Holidays Mary. ✌❤

Must watch Vacation. Some of this will make more sense.

I remember one year as a kid, my father took us out to cut down a tree for Christmas. Yeah, it was cold.

Merry Mary Cherry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Mary!

As somebody who's known multiple people with pet squirrels they can absolutely bite the crap out of you and scratch you and just be mean in general

Tis the season to be Mary...Cherry! Merry Christmas, Mary!

caddyshack. that’s your next lampoon movie. absolutely

Mary: "Chevy Chase is so young in this!" Me: *remembers him from "Saturday Night Live," the original "Vacation" and "Caddyshack"*

One of my favorite Christmas movies🎄. Great reaction Mary and take care and stay safe 👍.

I always enjoy your reviews/reactions. Very charming turn right on point

It has been said that every family has a Cousin Eddie, and if you can't recognize him in your family then you ARE him!

This is definitely a classic.

If you want another movie with Raymond's mom, check out Grandma's Boy. It's a fun movie and she was adorable in it.

2:40 You're right, that's Chevy Chase. He did a couple of other Vacation movies before this one, and before that he did Saturday Night Live for a few years where, among other things, he played President Gerald Ford and anchored the Weekend Update news segment. His "Word Association" sketch with Richard Pryor is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. 6:45 She's not Ray Romano's mom in real life lol, but yes she did play his mom on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Mary Christmas!!!🎄🎄🎅🏽🎅🏽🎁🎁Yep, it's a thing now! Great reactions to to enjoyable holiday film Christmas Vacation, Mary!!!🎄🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great reaction! Thank you.
