Hurt Myself Laughing | Lampoons Christmas Vacation | Reaction | First Time Watching

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Thank you so much to everyone for watching my reaction? It means a lot! I hope you enjoyed it and please check out some of my other reaction videos.

[@frankm.2850]

The "Hallelujah, holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?" end to the rant is really just so perfect.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

Your laugh had me dying bro 🤣 One of the best Christmas movies ever 💯

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'm so glad your enjoyed it. It's a great movie

[@tree6787]

I actually really miss these types of Christmas lights they just give off this warm glow that reminds me of my childhood so much.

[@bernhardtsen74]

I love his angry rant and ends it with "Hallelujah, Holy Shit!" Merry Christmas guys and girls!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

That was a great moment

[@jankreps5115]

It’s a tradition in our house as soon as Thanksgiving dinner is over if you don’t want football everybody else watches Christmas vacation with Chevy Chase!! I love your reaction to all the slapstick things in this movie. Great reaction

[@davidanderson1639]

I’ve loved this film ever since I first saw it…..& yes, I actually own one of the Wally World moose mugs….still in the process of finding the rest of the mugs & eggnog bowl. Fun Fact: Mae Questel, who played Aunt Bethany was also known for providing the voices for the animated characters Betty Boop (from 1931) and Olive Oyl (from 1933). Mae went on to reprise her role as Betty Boop one last time in 1988s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Her final film appearance was National Lampoons Christmas Vacation……& what away to go out!!! Also, Clark’s boss is played by Bill Murray’s brother; Brian Doyle Murray…..who also appears in the excellent Wayne’s World, as Noah Vanderhoff.

[@mikesterling688]

National Lampoon's Vacation came out first in 1986. If you had seen that, you would know who Eddie is.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@tarzapopohead]

Those moose mugs became very popular at the time this movie came out. You can still buy them.

[@firebladetenn6633]

“Can’t see the line can ya Russ?” “Nope” Looks like Russ is getting whatever he wants this year.

[@merchillio]

Your laugh is so contagious, thank you so much for that reaction.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

My pleasure 😊

[@allieaalto4675]

Your joy is so infectious!! LOL, thanks so much for reacting to my fav Christmas movie :)

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Glad you enjoyed it, hope you get a chance to watch some other great comedies on the channel.

[@jannorton5108]

It was fun to see you laugh so hard you couldn't breathe!!!

[@steveo2737]

Funny story, the boy - Russ is Johnny Galecki from Roseanne and Big Bang Theory.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

HOLY CRAP... I am a HUGE Big Bang fan.. How did I not catch that>??????

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

No way, had to look it up. :D

[@kriscynical]

My family has watched this every single year for as long as I can remember (and I'm 38 so that's nothing to sneeze at lol). It's one of our rock-solid holiday traditions, and no matter what time of year it is, whenever any of us fix something around the house, we announce _"FIXED THE NEWEL POST!!"_ when we're finished. lol

[@kierarene6604]

This is me and my grandmas favorite Christmas movie. We have to watch it every year. No exceptions ☺

[@howrued1500]

You sir are a DELIGHT!!! The family here is in the Chicago burbs, not terribly far from Iowa😊 The scene w the black dickie & the white sweater kills me EVERY time🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the fun reaction. Stay safe & love much💖

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction. I hope you get a chance to check out some of my others.

[@e72882]

This is always my favorite Christmas film. It is insane what these characters go through, or what they put themselves through, but I love it. One of the best performances by Chevy Chase. Also, I love the opening animation and song. Really sets the mood for me.

[@leeannmcdermott8313]

Aunt Bethany with her few scenes kills me every time!! Happy Holidays To you and your family!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I know right!!! She was awesome

[@katwebbxo]

Tbh I didn't really watch this one until I was an adult but now it's part of my yearly Christmas watchlist lol. The poor cat though. Love that sweater btw! 💙 I forget how funny the Pledge of Allegiance scene is everytime. 😂

[@LordVolkov]

I highly recommend checking out the rest of the Vacation series (National Lampoon's Family Vacation, European Vacation, and Vegas Vacation). There are a lot of running gags throughout the series (the moose mugs are a reference to the first), like Rusty and Audrey getting recast every movie.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Yep, added to list thanks

[@3DJapan]

It's not Family Vacation, just Vacation.

[@peperino25]

@@AwesomeUSMovies Please react to the ORIGINAL : *National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)* Higly recommend !!!!!!

[@janabraam7963]

This is our favorite Christmas movie!! So many requotable sayings in this movie. Chevy Chase is a great physical comedian. The mugs they are drinking from, they got from the 1st Vacation movie when they went to Wally World. I have a Christmas t-shirt that says "SHITTERS FULL". Their home was utterly destroyed but Clark always looks on the bright side. We always watch this every Christmas. I know it's September but I saw it on your list & needed a laugh. I love your laugh. I know you'll watch this again.

[@existential_sad_boi]

This is mine and my mother's favourite Christmas film. since moving out on my own, we get less of a chance to watch it together, but it will ALWAYS be a classic. Anytime we spot a squirrel, the urge to shout it out like in the scene is undeniable

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Nice memories for you

[@TheBigTamale]

There's Something about Mary (1998) should make you comedy list.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

ok, added to my list, thanks

[@keithanderson1980]

That's a good brother to get him exactly what he wanted bow and everything

[@drServitis]

12:10 "BORN IN A BARN??!" Fellow farming community member here. My mom always asked me that when I left the door open as a kid, lol! "Were you born in a barn??!" (But now that I think about it, it said more about my mom than it said about me if she gave birth to me in a barn, lol!)

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

My mother was actually born in a barn so it's funny to say it in our family.

[@drServitis]

@@AwesomeUSMovies I wish my mom had been born in a barn, then when she asked me if I was, as she often did, I'd say 'no mom, but you were! Remember?!' LOL!

[@skysamfreeman]

So many great moments and quotes in this movie. Watch it every year.

[@torinojohnson4218]

This has been considered a Christmas classic now. I watched this so much on the family channel . Chevy Chase had me laughing so hard.

[@dutch90skid70]

I've been crying of laughter. Your laughter actually 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop binge watching your channel (which is awesome to follow your first time experience on some of these movies), but daaaaamn, seeing you enjoy yourself is so much better than just watching the actual scenes, LOL 😜

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm trying hard to make AWESOME content for everyone. Forrest Gump coming out Friday. Consider my Patreon for my FULL reactions. The whole movie. I have to CUT A LOT out of these reactions. For $5 you get everything.

[@daniellanctot6548]

I’m with your kids: That you have never seen this movie on your 3 tv channels growing up is a (Xmas) miracle! (‘cause it use to play in every tv market every Xmas since it came out for television in the 80s 🤣) But I’m glad you hadn’t since I knew this one was gonna make you bust a guy laughing! 👍

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I was very funny, loved it

[@tomyoung9049]

Definitely part of my holiday tradition. Watch this at least once each holiday. Been taking it to work and playing in our breakroom last few yrs.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Love it

[@linette4829]

You want to talk about a complete total classic that I can't wait every year to watch.. I only watch it during Christmas so it stays special

[@gregc4311]

This was one of my moms favorite Christmas movies. I watch it every year at Christmas time.

[@SmallTownGarage405]

My favorite movie of all times! I enjoy watching you laugh so hard, it makes me laugh

[@tylergorash9027]

I personally enjoy the first movie out of all of them.

[@hannahtierney600]

I've been watching this movie every Christmas since I was a kid. I love it!

[@pleutron]

I was going to wait to watch this at Christmas time this year (since I only recently found your channel). But, after a few weeks seeing it stare me in the face as I scrolled through which reaction to watch next... I just couldn't wait anymore. Always one of my favorite comedies and favorite Chevy Chase movies. The entire Vacation series is fun times. Ray Charles - "The Spirit of Christmas". First time hearing it was seeing this movie back in like '90. It's been my #1 favorite Christmas song since.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Happy holidays!

[@netzombiee646]

A cool fact ... the guy playing Rusty is also Leonard on Big Bang Theory.

[@shallowgal462]

The house in the old family home movies was the house from Bewitched. The Griswold family home is the same as Murtaugh's in the Lethal Weapon franchise. Had to watch your reaction again!

[@jillk368]

When you pronounce slapstick, the emphasis is on 'slap'; nice reaction though:)) Great laugh!!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Oh thanks!

[@anthonydean1743]

This is the third film in the National Lampoons Vacation films. It goes Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation. Theirs also a Reboot Vacation film following the son and his family. Fun fact the children are always recast in each film. In this film the son is played by Johnny Galecki from series The Big Bang Theory, Roseanne, & reprised his character from Roseanne in a few episodes of its Reboot series The Conners.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

They've been requested at this point so I've put I think 3 on my list

[@nicoleross3835]

I myself just watched this movie for the first time last year, and will watch it every year to come

[@tree6787]

My personal favorite is Vegas Vacation. After you Mr Papa Gigio. I highly recommend it you'll have to watch it just so you can get that quote.

[@johnlye1768]

I have watch your reaction videos and I can honestly say your the best you tuber on and i can’t stop laughing at your reactions merry Xmas to you and your family 🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Oh, I appreciate that, thank you so much.

[@davidlilley4166]

One of my favorite Xmas movies

I love how much you laugh during this movie I think we all did

[@paschamaryalophand9200]

Always a great watch! It never gets old!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

probably will, they've been requested a lot. thanks

"other 3", and NOT those _other_ two.

I really do love this movie it was one of those movies me and my dad always watched every Christmas on the couch this one A Christmas Story and Home Alone we're always reruns on television

[@mynameisbob333]

Haven't seen this movie in such a long time. Very fun film

[@EzraPeterson]

This is my favorite reaction to this movie out of anyone! I crack up along with you the whole way!

I'm an '80s baby and I don't think we ever wore seat belts it just wasn't reinforced the way it is now on days LOL😁

[@SC-gp7kt]

Every Christmas, it's this and Elf 💜💜💜🤣😂🤣

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

maybe

[@shallowgal462]

This third film in the franchise is my favorite, although the original with John Candy was truly great! You've seen Clark's boss as the mayor in Groundhog Day, and Eddie in Independence Day.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

haven't gotten to that one yet

[@goldieschooch8512]

Definitely watched this every year with the Fam! ✌🏻☀️

[@patticriss2238]

That was really fun. That movie always is fun. I love e Chevy Chases slapstick comedy. He acts with his face and his whole body. Here’s one you might enjoy ; “Funny Farm” with Chevy Chase. That one had me rolling on the floor. Too funny. Happy new year

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to list thanks

[@donjackson5522]

My favorite Chevy chase movie is Seems Like old Times with Goldie Hahn.

[@BigGator5]

Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄 This is actually the 3rd movie of the series and the kids are re-cast every time. While I can't stop you from watching them all, I only recommend the first two and the most recent one (it's actually not as bad as critics make it out to be). The rest are not funny. Fun Fact: After Clark Griswold unsuccessfully attempts to demonstrate his handiwork with the house Christmas lights to his family, he asks Rusty to help him check all the light bulbs again. Rusty looks at his bare wrist, pretending to have a watch, and excuses himself. Looking at a bare wrist and pretending to have a watch is one of Chevy Chase's trademark gags. Bonus Fun Fact: Final film of Mae Questel, whose film career began in 1930, as the voice of Betty Boop. Pour a glass of eggnog for the legend.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Love it, thanks

[@billnipp2309]

Those aren't sewers that Eddie is dumping poo in, those are storm drains for rain water and such. The sewer system is in the middle of the streets only accessible thru manholes. Two totally separate systems. thank you

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Agreed, my mistake

[@billnipp2309]

@@AwesomeUSMovies lol. It was Clark’s mistake too. Hahaha.
