Love how Ellen put Aunt Edna in her place about time somebody stood up to her

[guitarzan]

"Jesus, it's only the biggest goddamn hole in the world!"
"CLARK! Watch your language!"
"Make that the _second_ biggest."
🤣🤣🤣

"Nothing to be proud of, Russ.

.. 50 yards.."

Such a great line lmao

[jamesl]

“When they close the road, they put up big signs like this one. 🚧🚧🚧

[falcoperegrinus]

I love how the airbag is obviously just a plastic garbage bag.

[sxrick]

I love that the kids, who were in the back seat, after the crash are in the front seat!

[spiritgirl]

"Sit down and SHUT UP! Move out of that seat, and I'll split your lip!" XD

[guitarzan]

0:37 I love how Aunt Edna is the first to notice the ROAD CLOSED sign 😂😂

[mtiller]

"Audrey, when they close the road, they put up big signs like this one.

[hibob]

You know, I’ve probably seen this movie a couple dozen times, and I just noticed that after the crash, Audrey and Rusty are suddenly in the front seat. They kept it subtle. Well played.

[samalvey]

"I think I broke my nose."
"I stabbed my brain."
"I just got my period."

[chrisfinch]

Them flying in the air, really kills me, every single

[zebra]

The stunt driver for this scene (sorry, I don't remember his name) said he could jump the car 50 feet. None of the crew believed him, they drew lines in the sand and placed bets. If memory serves me correctly, he jumped it 55 feet.

[davidpar]

Aunt Edna’s reaction to the crash, gasping for breath, is one of the best parts of the whole thing

[tony--james]

lol at the fact, Edna opens her power window, but earlier in the movie, in the hood, they roll them up manually🤣

[pitchbright]

I love how the airbag is just a garbage bag and it doesn’t even activate until after the crash lmao

[MrParkFan]

“Audrey when they close the roads they put up big signs like this one” lol 😆

[Setharnaud]

2:07 The way she follows her into the car. Haha😂😂😂

[MrPackers]

When Audrey said she just had her period, I fell off my chair because I was already laughing at the scene, and that line had me rolling on the floor😂!

[alexanderpytko]

Edna says she never should've taken this trip with them and should've taken an airplane. So why didn't she take an airplane? They didn't even want to drive her to Phoenix, at least Clark and the kids didn't. They didn't even invite her to come, she invited herself.
