Favorite Vacation?

[catesta]

The first was a classic. "I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper, it does fine all by itself."

European Vacation was not all that good, Vegas Vacation was much better, plus the daughter was a little hottie.

But my all time favorite has got to be Christmas Vacation.

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no! We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here! We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!"

By default it has to be number one, as I never bothered with the others. Best line is where the girls are talking about french kissing and the cousin says "yeah, but Daddy says I do it the best!"

Gross, but funny.

Christmas Vacation for me. Humor that cuts to the bone for WASP world denizens. . . .

The original. No other compares!

I voted for the first one. I only saw that and "European Vacation" (saw maybe ten minutes of "Vegas Vacation" on TV while vacationing, ironically, in Las Vegas last year), so I can't speak to the others. The first one was a classic, though.

The little girl who said "Daddy says I'm the best" at french kissing was none other than Jane Krakowski, who played Elaine on "Ally McBeal." I can't help it. There's something about her. I think she's kinda hot!
