National Lampoon's Vacation/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • National Lampoon's "Vacation" series has tons, but one that stands out in this troper's mind is a completely throwaway moment in Christmas Vacation where, while out shopping, Clark puts some lightbulbs on his shopping cart, which are crushed by the enormous bag of dogfood Cousin Eddie puts on top of them not a second later. The fact that neither of them notice it at all is just awesome.
  • Also: "SQUIIIIIIIIIRREEEEEEELLL!"
  • Fried Pussycat!
  • this epic rantfest....Where's the Tylenol?!
  • THE HAP HAP HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS!!!
  • Where you gonna put that tree?
    • Bend over and I'll show you!
  • Tch... Bingo!
  • "I'd wake up with my head sewn to the carpet, and I still wouldn't be surprised as I am now."
  • "I can't swim Clark." (beat) "I know Eddie."
  • This little diddy had me thrown into a gigglefest.
  • Shitter was full!
  • This troper's favorite bit was from the first movie:

Clark: I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of your assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!
Rusty: [Grab's Clark's shoulder] Dad, you want an Aspirin?
Clark: DON'T TOUCH!
