Things to look for next time you watch Christmas Vacation
Edited on Fri Dec-12-08 04:35 PM by pokerfan
In the Wal-Mart scene, Eddie crushing the light bulbs with the bag of dog food.

Listen to the newscasters from the parade on TV in the background during the grandpas' nap-time. Some very funny stuff there.

Eddie doing the "Here is the church; here is the steeple" thing with his hands as everyone bows to pray.

Clarks' mom dipping her turkey into her water goblet to soften it.

When Clark is in the front yard getting ready to cut the tree, watch Ellen down her drink and throw her glass into a bush.

When the police break down the door Ellen has her hand on Clark's "package." Then she shakes Mrs. Shirley's hand and puts her hand back on Clark's crotch.

The "hole" in Beverly D'Angelo's white blouse becoming larger and more revealing as the scenes go on.

When aunt Bethany starts singing the national anthem Uncle Lewis holding his toupe over his heart like a hat.

Aunt Bethany's presents are wrapped with "Happy Birthday" paper.

Cousin Eddie wearing a black dickie under his white sweater.

Clark pushing his mother down during the squirrel melee.

Cousin Eddie in the pool fantasy with his wife beater tucked into his speedo.

One of the members of the SWAT team eating stuff off the dining room table.

In the breakfast scene (before Eddie dumps his sewage into the storm sewer) Catherine is wearing a waitress uniform.

Marty Moose eggnog mugs.

When the advent calendar is being opened on the 21st, it looks like Cousin Eddie's grubby fingers opening it.

During the Christmas dinner Ellen is pretending to eat, but is really flinging the food from the fork over her shoulder.

Notice in the overhead shot of the house when they are in the yard looking at the lights, Eddie's RV is already parked there.

Cousin Catherine wearing mistletoe as a brooch just above her left breast.

One of the members of the SWAT team eating stuff off the dining room table. :rofl:

5. This is weird
I watched this just last night and noticed the first and third ones, wondering if anyone else had caught that. :P

6. 'Tis the season to be merry
You have to pull your eyes away from Eddie's package in order to catch the light bulb crushing.
