The Cousin Eddie "pffft whatever" eyeroll when Mr Shirley says, "and you are going to jail" had me in tears this year. Usually watch the edited for TV version, this year did VOD and was so much better. Also get to see side boob from the girl on the diving board.
RUSTY: Dad, that thing won't fit in our yard. CLARK: It's not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.
Eddie : If only I had that money Catherine and I gave to that TV preacher who was screwin' that hockey player. Clark : What about the kids? Eddie : His kids can fend for themselves. gets me every time
The “gone” from Clark after closing the door to Julia Louis-Dreyfus being attacked by a squirrel and subsequently mauled by the dog is potentially the greatest line in movie history.
Eddie's subtle motions and gestures are what gets me. Like when he's looking at that wooden spinning thing in the living room and he touches it and it falls apart and he's just like wtf
Another great low-key / attention to detail part is when Uncle Louis is slapping little Clark’s hands away from the presents in the old home movies (rocking a stogie of course)
Honey, why don't you run and get the kids things together. And don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils...
Going out to get a tree because Louis burned mine and the tree was dry because snots drank all the water
I simply solved the problem. We needed a coffin... Er, a tree. There are no lots open on Christmas Eve.
“And when Santa slides his big white ass down the chimney he’s going to see the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!!!
I had to watch it last night. Couldn't wait for AMC. Wind was so bad I thought my internets would shit out. I downloaded it and threw it on a flash drive and plugged it into my xbox.
It was on TBS the other night, but I passed on it as it’s not even thanksgiving yet. Call me old fashioned I guess
Will wait a few more weeks, me and the family always watch this movie and usually one or two more on a weekend to really get the Xmas vibes going.
