National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is considered a beloved Christmas film by many people and is aired numerous times during the holiday season. As such it should come as a surprise to many that the film has many deleted scenes that have not been released, only existing as photographs, script details, or trailer shots. Oddly, the tree lot scene was featured on the back of the DVD release despite no deleted scenes being included.

The 16 Best Scenes In National Lampoon's Vacation Franchise
By Ethan Anderton / July 30, 2015 10:00 am EDT
This week, a reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation hit theaters, but without the National Lampoon name attached. Of course, the comedy namesake's former magazine editor P.J. O'Rourke seems perfectly fine with that, saying in a guest column at THR that the new take on Vacation is "a summer cineplex dump-fill featuring the Hangover wimp dentist as leading man" and judging by the trailer contains "obvious, pitiful, frenetic, stupid raunchiness." Yeah, he's not a fan.
Frankly, I found the Vacation reboot to be amusing and enjoyable. It has a bit of a sloppy script as far as story progression is concerned, but there are some very big laughs, a few great running gags, solid references to the original movie, and a fantastic performance from Ed Helms , who channels Chevy Chase and his charming naivete the whole way through.
But I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find looking back at the original Vacation , and at least one of the sequels, more entertaining. And that's exactly what I did when I compiled this collection of the 16 Best Scenes from the National Lampoon's Vacation franchise.
See the whole list of National Lampoon's Vacation best scenes after the jump!
If we're honest, it's the entire running gag with Christie Brinkley (before she was Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry's wife on Parks & Recreation ) in her big screen debut that's one of the most iconic parts of the original Vacation , but for me it's the picnic bit that's the best one. Chevy Chase desperately trying to dance in a cool way with a bologna sandwich is just one of many examples of how he was a master of physical comedy, and the split second when he realizes it's soaked in dog piss is comedy gold.
It's no highway encounter with Christie Brinkley, but this awkward interaction that Clark Griswold has with a lingerie associate named Mary (no s***?) is a classic. It's scenes like this that show how charming a younger Chevy Chase could be, even when he was casually being adulterous and hitting on store clerks much young than himself.
This scene has been criticized for its portrayal of race, and 22 years later, is outdated at the very least. Clark's optimism and cluelessness is at first the butt of the joke, as he doesn't realize how out of place he is. While the scene maybe isn't meant to be a universal representation of urban areas like this, it still ends up feeding middle-class fears of the inner-city by showing how wrong Clark's approach can be.
Thankfully, the scene is still funny, and a line from Rusty ("wonder if these guys know the Commodores") makes the dated nature of this scene easier to swallow, even showing that he might have inherited some of his father's naivete.
Honey, have you checked out s***ters? This line has become so iconic that it's made it onto t-shirts that fans throw on around the holidays when Christmas Vacation plays a dozen times a week across various channels. In fact, it's probably one of the most iconic lines in the entire franchise, and Clark's reaction to it just makes the scene that much better.
There's only a couple scenes from the lackluster National Lampoon's European Vacation that made this list, and that's mostly because the film only has clever lines here and there rather than a series of great scenes. But this is one of the more memorable scenes, as the Griswold family ends up stuck in a roundabout in London all day long.
In revisiting the entire Vacation franchise, I realized that Chevy Chase is the master of delivering meltdown monologues with just the right amount of crazy. There's actually two great ones in Christmas Vacation , and while this one is certainly more off the hinges than the other, it's the second one (which appears later on this list) that is one of my favorite bits of the entire series. But we'll get to that later.
One might say that this isn't so much a scene from the film as a single line. But since this is easily the weirdest interaction out of all the moments Rusty and Audrey share with their oddball cousins, it stands on its own.
Fifty stands of lights, 100 individual bulbs per strand, for a grand total of 25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights. Drum roll, please. This entire scene, from Clark's dismembering of Santa's sleigh and his reindeer to the glorious moment when the lights work is classic holiday fare, but my personal favorite moment comes when Clark goes down the line of family members and gets to Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) , "If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be any more surprised than I am now."
This might be the single most innocent delivery of the middle finger on film as only Clark Griswold can deliver. Also, it should be noted that the shot of the station wagon situated under the semi-truck shows some pretty damn impressive stunt driving.
The second worthy scene from National Lampoon's European Vacation is one that calls back to the authenticity of the original film, showcasing what it's like to be on a trip with your family. Everyone has shared this moment with the respective family when each one is annoying the hell out of the next.
The Griswolds really are the worst kind of tourists, and having a shotgun blasted at you point blank is a fine lesson to learn for messing with the employees of a tired tourist attraction. This is yet another piece of fantastic evidence of how Chevy Chase can be so funny with just a quick change in the tone of his voice.
Save the neck for me, Clark! Again, part of what makes the original Vacation and Christmas Vacation so great are the genuine portrayals of spending time with your family. In this case, it's Christmas dinner, and the part that always gets me is when Eddie's dog Snot is "yakkin' on a bone," and his nonchalant response after the gross upchuck, "He got it up."
This is really the only worthy scene that I found in Vegas Vacation as the rest of it is just lame and mostly unfunny. Much like European Vacation , there are some funny lines and very quick moments, but entire scenes of great comedy are hard to come by. Though I would like to point out how much I love the moment in the buffet when Cousin Eddie's eyes roll in the back of his head and he has to slap the metal plate in order to focus again. If I could have found it online, I would have featured it, but no such luck.
Remember when I said Chevy Chase was a master of the meltdown? This is the first example of that in the Vacation franchise, and Christmas Vacation captured it again perfectly. It's Clark Griswold at one of his most unhinged moments.
This is no doubt the jolliest bunch of a**holes this side of the nuthouse. This is absolutely one of my favorite scenes in the entirety of the Vacation franchise, and Chevy Chase's wild-eyed dedication to a good ole family Christmas doesn't get any more scary than this.
It just doesn't get any better than this. A moment of glory followed by complete disappointment. But we're given another classic Chevy Chase moment after he punches Marty Moose in the face. Actually, for some reason it was this particular monologue that made me realize that Chase is a master of sparsely and effectively dropping the f-bomb.
After a week of revisiting the Vacation franchise, these are the scenes that I found to be the best out of the entire series. And while Vegas Vacation and European Vacation don't have much to offer upon rewatching, it did help to watch all of them in proximity with one another, if only to see how Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo perfectly get back into character for each and every one. (The same can be said for their appearance in the Vacation reboot as well.)

“I found out long ago, it’s a long way down the holiday road.” Long ago would be 30 years as of tomorrow, because National Lampoon’s Vacation opened theatrically on July 29, 1983. Directed by Harold Ramis, the family road movie was written by former “National Lampoon” staffer John Hughes, based on a short story of his published in the magazine. The comedy debuted at the top of the box office, knocking out Jaws 3-D in its sophomore weekend, keeping Return of the Jedi back in its tenth and besting fellow newcomers Krull and Private School . And it stayed at #1 through mid-August. Americans were clearly in love with rising star Chevy Chase, though they may have been even more in love with the relatable premise of a cross-country outing.
We may not have known it at the time, but it was also a sign we were in love with Hughes’s writing, as both Vacation and Mr. Mom , which he scripted and which opened in limited release a week prior, both were among the highest-grossing comedies of the year, each with a then-remarkable take of more than $60m. Vacation has probably the greater legacy, in part because it kicked off a never-ending franchise (another sequel/reboot is currently in the works for next summer) and in part because millions are still enjoying the original to this day. Very little outside of the model of car and styles of clothing (and some notable political incorrectness) is dated. And the following favorite scenes are still as fun and funny as they were three decades ago.
Why not start with the opening credits sequence? Just about every part of Vacation is worthy of inclusion on this list (the really racist scene where they get lost in “the ‘hood” being one of the biggest exclusions; I’ve also never liked the dog-dragging bit) and the postcard-filled intro is pretty special, particularly for the super catchy weirdly bark-infused song by Lindsey Buckingham. Click play on the video below and you’ll have “Holiday roooooooooooooooooooooooooad. Holiday rooooooooooooooooad” in your head the rest of the day. And that’s not a bad thing. The end credits with Buckingham’s “Dancin’ Across the U.S.A.” over photos from the trip is a nice bookending compliment, too.

Even if the cast didn’t go everywhere the second-unit crew did, the establishing shots of the Family Truckster driving by places like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis make this movie genuinely feel like a filmed road trip. Here is another of the less-celebrated moments in Vacation proving that there are just so many great little scenes and quotable lines. One of these days I’m going to take a cross-country quest of fun with my wife and kids, and you can bet I’ll be reciting things like Clark’s overlong answer to Audrey’s question of what river they’re going over. I doubt my Paul Robeson impression will be as good as Chevy Chase’s. By the way, isn’t it terrific that there’s a Paul Robeson impression in a broad Hollywood comedy?

One of the more famous scenes in the movie, I just grew up finding it memorable for always trying to figure out if I can see any of Christie Brinkley’s naughty bits. Pretty sure she was one of my first childhood crushes thanks to this movie (and the Ferrari 308 was one of my first car crushes thanks to Brinkley). And I was likely so busy looking at her that I didn’t think too much about what a sleaze Clark is. He’s such a lovable dog, though, because his defensive explanations are so ridiculous. How else do we defensively explain how much we love a character who is so terrible? He flirts and goes skinny dipping with models, robs hotels, hijacks an amusement park, swears at his family, gives his kid a beer and the offenses go on and on and on through at least three more movies.

All the more enjoyable now that Jane Krakowski is all grown up and even funnier with inappropriate dialogue (man, we’re going to miss 30 Rock), this brief moment – a quote we love if anything – is one of the more disturbingly hilarious in a movie chock full of early gross-out shtick. The then-teen actress plays Cousin Vicki, the pot-smoking, Jr. Pig contest-winning, bare-hand-Kool-Aid-stirring daughter of Eddie. While one of her siblings was born without a tongue, she apparently got to use hers to practice French kissing with her daddy. It’s almost too wrong – and too stereotypical of poor hick characters – to be funny, but the shock brings on the uncontrollable uncomfortable laughs.

One of the many reminders that this is an R-rated comedy comes in the form of the familiar dad-goes-nuts part of any family road trip. Most patriarchs just swear a lot, though. Clark goes so far as to call his wife and kids “fucked in the head.” And he has some really colorful ways of swearing, including the line above, which is particularly amusing if you always keep the Disneyland-bound origins of the plot in mind. I still laugh at this scene so hard I almost need that plastic surgeon to remove my smile, too. Do any other now-grown Vacation fans of this movie call your own family trips “quests for fun”? If not, you’re not a real fan.
