For many holiday movie fans, there’s no Christmas film more cherished than National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The ’89 classic blends trademark Lampoon goofiness with some endearing and relatable family moments, all as doting father Clark Griswold feebly attempts to put on the perfect holiday for his loved ones. Whether it’s wonky exterior string lights, an overcooked turkey dinner, or a run-in with Cousin Eddie’s chemical toilet, there’s never a dull moment in the Griswold household.
And though Cousin Eddie and his brash, obnoxious ways tend to hog the spotlight in this holiday classic, Chevy Chase’s Clark often delivers his fair share of funny lines as well. So, to help you prepare for the holidays with a little Christmas Vacation nostalgia, we’re rounding up the funniest quotes from this beloved Christmas comedy classic.
“It’s the thought that counts”
As the holiday season approaches, this heartwarming quote can be a great reminder to cherish your time with family and friends. It’s also an ideal line to use in a daily journal prompt, or even on your Christmas cards!
“You’re the kind of girl that brings rubber sheets and gerbils for a night on the town”
Ellen is an underrated character in this holiday favorite, as she delivers several of the movie’s most memorable quotes. This one is a perfect example of her subtle, sarcastic brand of humor. When she speaks this line, you can almost see her roll her eyes and sigh with frustration at her husband’s inability to grasp basic household chores.
