Watching *Christmas Vacation* (1989) FOR THE FIRST TIME! Reaction & Commentary Review

hey everyone and welcome back to the  channel today we are going to be showing   Kacee Christmas vacation for the first time  I don't know how she's made it 26 years and   have not seen this movie I'm 20 . you're about  to be 26 this month she's holding on for dear   life so Anthony's been wanting to show me this  for years he loves all these movies I've seen   the other some of the other ones at least I  know for sure I've seen the Vegas one and I   think the original yeah Casey kind of like  started watching when I was already watching   um so I just figured like you know let her watch  and this was before the channel too so now I feel   like I remember them though she definitely  hasn't seen this one there's another one   european vacation in all honestly I don't even  know which one besides the original vacation   came first I don't know which one is second I know  Vegas vacation was the last one but I always get   Christmas vacation and European Vacation confused  but I guess we could watch European education but   I feel like Christmas vacation and vacation were  like the ones that are the most iconic and the   other ones I mean I enjoyed them because I watched  them as a kid but like they're probably not better   than you know this one in the original and for the  occasion we got eggnog Casey doesn't even know who   this character is even though she should kids yeah  okay so this is how much Casey probably doesn't   remember from the first one they were going to  Wally world that was like the whole road trip   to Walmart this was the character that was like  you know the the Mickey Mouse type of character   but it's not like an actual like no not in the  movie not in the movies no a character who was   that from the amusement park that they were trying  to go to I don't know I didn't even remember that   maybe I need to re-watch the original because I  literally don't remember that on the first day   of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge  in a Pantry on the second day of Christmas [Music]   the kids in the back what we're looking for  today is the Griswold Family Christmas tree Christmas tree so we're going to do a  tree farm [Music] checklist aggressive yeah and let them pass oh my gosh like go around who looks at the car  in front of him like I know like that too [Music] they're gonna break check you they're  gonna break check you yeah yes they   even have their brake lights on oh my gosh [Music] he has like road rage you want to ride  behind somebody who does something like that   we're gonna fool around I'm gonna leave  them safely behind us burn some dust here   what that's no logic you have anything you  would let them go oh yeah foreign [Music] ER when I was younger like I said I  used to have some road rage will you   just take it easy Ellen I'm in complete control on this egg timer [Music] now a trucker is passing you well he  doesn't see it because he was talking to her [Music] oh my God oh my God [Music]   all because of road rage hey the tree  farm it all worked out in the end   people forgot how to have a fun old-fashioned  family Christmas and are satisfied with scrawny   dead overpriced trees that have no special  meaning I always liked going to cut one down   I've never had a room with my mom to be honest  oh yeah every one day vlog [Music] that's so big do you even have like a ax or whatever  what is a saw Dad did you bring a saw   oh you asked that question so how'd you  cut it down I have so many questions [Music] [Laughter]   a tree that big I feel like would have even  bigger roots to be honest I mean they're   like the Hulk or something I give you the  Griswold Family Christmas I feel like expand it really extended the big question  is uh what are you gonna do with that   big bonus check you're gonna blow  it on yourself I hope me heck no   I just hope my Christmas bonus check will  cover a pool oh my God you're putting in a pool   s are expensive to put in pool seem like  annoyingly annoying to maintain does anybody   have a pool for also like I feel like how much  throughout the year do you use the pool smiling   browsing for your wife or your girlfriend what you have a wife shopping season if the stores  were any less food here I was just looking at something  for my wife God Rest her soul oh   no no she's not dead we're just divorced Ure knock on the door I

I'm out in the cold and I'm committed   to decorating the house it right and I'm gonna  do it big let us know in the comments who put   up the core right after Halloween those people  that put it up November 1st I want to be one of   those people but I never do come on unravel these  you have to check every bulb a little knot here oh what entangling those is like the worst  whoever invented that like the thing nowadays   that just projects onto your house probably a  millionaire if not Game Changer icon status and   the fact that you don't actually have to like  you know put up freaking

convenient it was it was a sweet happy moment ready you want   me to do the drum roll thing  no it's okay here goes nothing oh that's so sad oh no that's like the worst is  when you pull I get

several Windows to replace who's the lingerie from the  Department Store what's that sound carolers someone should take that out of his mouth  before he [ __ ] Burns something else down it's a funny squeaky sound her voice is so funny  dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin Flash   I hear it too is it the cat no but he did just  cut down this tree is it a squirrel literally on drugs who passed out over a squirrel oh my gosh give it a nut I was gonna say six knots  on it yeah it's not this is your job just open the door mom don't move  this reminds me of the time we had   a chicken in our house what we had a  chicken in our house like when you're   a kid it ran in and we had to get it  out I was like a teenager oh my gosh these are like those government conspiracy  squirrels snots just ran through the [ __ ] door   get it snots mm-hmm oh my gosh she's gonna wreck everything look that priest you could call the police she  wears the pants in the relationship oh my gosh oh he closed the door they always get  the short end of the stick they're just   like not they're just like trying to live  there in bougie life what happened to you why'd you take it out on him toxic I  mean they did displace the squirrel   was just living at home nobody's walking out  on this fun old-fashioned family Christmas no   no we're all in this together and we're  gonna have the happiest Christmas since   Bing Crosby tap dance with Danny [ __ ]  K oh my gosh was that the first f word is he gonna go do what the boss thing like  he asked for oh my gosh she's gonna do it   he's like I know what I can get you for  Christmas all our holidays are always such a mess   oh yeah yeah how did you get through it a lot of  help from Jack Daniel we're drinking the Kraken   cracking rum to be more specific out on the  lawn there arose such a clatter I sprang   from my bed to see what was the matter away  to the window yeah the rose such a clatter   ladder ladder ladder remember that was like  the whole thing about it yeah like a ladder   but a miniature sleigh and Eddie for the  man oh my gosh she did like a like a prime oh my gosh better give me my raise to do some kissing yes officer it seems  my husband's been abducted a man was   wearing a blue leisure suit I want her nightgown  you're fired hmm where's the phone I'm calling   the police and just hold your wad there fella  Clark had nothing to do with this all right   he's still fired and you are going to jail you  didn't give a [ __ ] I lost my temper when I   got my bonus and I I guess I said a few things  I shouldn't have bonus how did you get a bonus   I cut out bonuses this year oh that's the [ __ ]  issue 17 years with the company I've gotten a   Christmas bonus every year but this one you don't  want to get bonuses fine but when people count   on them as part of their salary oh what you  did just plain sucks no you tell them son my   cousin-in-law whose heart is bigger than his brain  appreciate that Clark I'll be more than happy to   take the rap on this behalf of myself on behalf of  every other employee who rear-ended this Christmas awkward I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't  mean much if to get it you have to hurt the   ones you depend on it's it's people that make  the difference little people like you so are   they gonna get the bonus so Carl whatever you  got last year had 20 percent oh that's pretty   good that's really good you know just don't make  it out to Carl I know you better get my neighbor that extra 20 oh dang foreign that 20 is gonna have to bail you out of prison [Music] ERS [Music] SWAT team where the [ __ ] did he come from  I told you to freeze mister blink thank God scratch cause I had to freeze what was she  doing before the freeze I'm not pressing   any charges what oh mistake I did something I  shouldn't have and these people call me on it   the Christmas spirit no you got it right that  time remember how I was toying with the notion   of uh suspending the Christmas bonuses you  didn't well of all the cheap lousy ways to   save a [ __ ] that's pretty low Mister oh my  God I'm reinstating all the bonuses [Music]   a shooting star s [Music]   that ain't the freaking Christmas star Grace it's  alive the sewage treatment plant oh [ __ ] oh my God what the [ __ ] okay hey  look there's something hey Santa little lady she's so patriotic hey what was in your [ __ ] [Applause] oh it's still going oh yeah it's the credits  that was a fun movie I like that I feel like   you could describe it as like a slapstick you  know yeah that makes me want to go re-watch   like the original because I feel like I don't  remember like I don't even remember Cousin Eddie   I feel like oh it's nuts I feel like I should go  re-watch them maybe I should do it on the channel   hey let us know yeah because I literally don't  remember she definitely hasn't seen European   for sure vacations I remember some scenes but  I don't remember the plot line and the original   maybe we will get to Vegas because that's like  the fourth one but the other two though yeah   let us know that was fun I liked it good Christmas  movie some would say the second greatest Christmas   movie To Die Hard Die Hard is not a Christmas  movies so anyway uh what'd you think in total I   liked it a lot it was fun it was like a like that  type of humor you know like there was a certain   type of humor that this is and it was that but I  think it did well from being that type of humor   um and it was just trying to be like a silly  fun movie yeah and also kind of tapped into   like you know the whole idea of like you know  oh the chaotic Christmas family yeah which I   feel everyone could relate to especially the  the crazy uncle I mean it did hit some other   elements too like you know like the the yeah  like the stresses the work stress consumerism   um but like it encompassed that part of of  Christmas like the holidays like you said just   like the stressfulness of it but then at the end  of the day it's like okay you know family together   and just like enjoying the holiday from what it  is but I love this movie it's hilarious I like   watching it uh most years I actually haven't  really watched it a whole lot like as the time   we've been together mostly just because I knew  I wanted her to watch it at some point and then   when we started the channel I was like oh maybe  we'll do for the channel but we kind of have to   like wait you know for the for the season so  that's why we did it now but I mean it's been   a couple years since I've seen it but before  that I pretty much watched it yearly so then   I wonder do the other one relate to each other  are they just kind of their own separate things   um it's hard for me to remember specifically  I don't think that they actually I don't me   personally for the best of my knowledge you don't  really need to watch all of them and you can kind   of watch them out of order and what I mean by  that is like you don't have to watch it like you   know chronologically you could just like pick and  choose I mean you get more like I guess knowledge   like you would know who Cousin Eddie was if you  had watched the original one um I don't know I'm   not gonna say anything to spoil any other movies  but um I just feel like you know you can kind of   go into it and not really know too much besides  the fact that you know it's like you know Clark   and Ellen like with the family going on a trip so  original one was to Wally World European Vacation   which I think is the third one I think this was  the second one and then Vegas vacation to uh end   it all they did all however make a um a vacation  like that was kind of like the um the kids grown   up and then taking their family on a vacation and  it was Rusty who I think was played by Ed Helms   um but I didn't really like that movie to be  honest I feel like it's not like you know it   doesn't hold a candle to the classics yeah let us  know down below if you want to see me watch your   PM vacation next or potentially the other ones as  a as a re-watch as a like re-watch in the sense   that I probably don't remember most of it but  European one I for sure haven't seen so let us   know down below if you want to see that if you  have any other Christmas movie recommendations   that we could maybe squeeze in for the season we  also watch Klaus yeah and I also watched Rise of   the Guardians as a solo reaction on the channel  which was kind of a Christmasy movie but like   just a general holiday yeah movie we're gonna be  doing a lot more movie reactions on the channel so   make sure you're subscribed for those and let us  know your favorite Christmas movie like obviously   mine is die hard I'm just kidding I just like to  tease Casey because she always like talks crap   about die hard not being a Christmas movie it's  not but you know class was really good so that   was a really fun movie but I love this movie this  is kind of like my my go-to you know it's funny   because like you know there's some elements that  you probably say probably wouldn't be you know   kid movie you know but I watched it when I was  like four so all right well thank you so much   for watching and we will see you next time on the  first day of Christmas my true love gave to me on the second day of Christmas my true love
