Christmas Vacation (8/10) Movie CLIP - Turkey Dinner (1989) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
At the family feast, Aunt Bethany (Mae Questel) recites the Pledge of Allegiance and the main course withers.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Chevy Chase, star of National Lampoon's Vacation and its sequel, is back as the paterfamilias of the Griswold family (including Beverly D'Angelo as his missus) to skewer the Yuletide season. Chevy mugs, trips, falls, mashes his fingers and stubs his toes as he prepares to invite numerous dysfunctional relatives to his household to celebrate Christmas. Amidst the more outrageous sight gags (including the electrocution of a cat as the Christmas tree is lit) the film betrays a sentimental streak, with old wounds healing and long-estranged relatives reuniting in the Griswold living room. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was still capable of attracting an audience five years after its release -- it was one of the top-rated seasonal TV specials of 1994, outrating even the first network telecast of It's a Wonderful Life.

At 1:48. If my family dinner got ruined, I'd tell everybody, "Well, people. There goes the turkey. Honey, I'm going to McDonald's. Get me a pen and paper so I can write down what everybody wants." LOL.
