"Christmas Vacation" Scene Re-Enactment

[MANOFGOD9000]

Still funny no matter who says it!

[sudssells]

Awesome JOB ! I love the movie and you did a sick job of remembering those lines ! hats off to ya

[jzcrandall]

That's impressive. I couldn't think of anyone else who could pull this scene off.

[RangerRiderDude]

he's good

[halfbreed1204]

hahaha you are awesome!!!!!!!!!

[robbiebratc]

lol at 0:52 and 0:56

[robbiebratc]

this video is great

[Shibagal]

Heey not bad, that was a very realistic reaction. I didn't expect you to play the wife XD

[MUEagle2002]

No one beats Chevy Chase in that scene....

[OkieMerrod83]

@MUEagle2002 true. That's because everyone is unique in their own special way, and Chevy Chase, with his own unique style, created the Clark Griswald character. We will never think of Clark Griswald any other way then the way Chevy Chase created him. It's cemented into our minds. Hopefully I did a good impression of Chevy Chase's beloved character.

[TheDTYPsGames]

Loolol this is hilarious

[dougwatches]

Great rendition; loved the inflections that you were able to pull off for the various characters, and the quiet insanity as Clark was drinking eggnog. Bravo!

[CGriswald309B]

You sir are my hero.

[deadlyorgans]

Sweet reenactment.

[nhgoodeatsguy]

That was spot-on, man.

[marioluver86]

I thought it was pretty good :)

[robbiebratc]

now that was funny ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha  lol

[pallmall1174]

Have more friends.Plane Jane.

[OkieMerrod83]

@pallmall1174 if ur trying to troll & make me feel bad about myself, u absolutely failed. So have a nice day.

[dino578036]

@OkieMerrod83 OH!!! the troller just got pwned! awseome video! im deffinatly subscribing!

[zwinky899]

lolz i memorized this to and im only 12 years old its coz its my favirot part of the movie and we watch every year around holiday time and i meen EVERY year

[n8wolin]

@zwinky899I'm 12 and memorized it too. This is like the best christmas movie ever.

[Bossbugg90]

Clark's was way better! Sorry u didn't make the cut!

[OkieMerrod83]

@Bossbugg90 Of COURSE Chevy Chase was better. Nobody could possibly do Clark better then Chevy Chase. Keyword: "NOBODY". Besides, back then he was (and still is) a highly paid & highly trained professional actor. I'm not.. I train MYSELF without any professional help, and pride myself on that fact. And call me crazy, but I do think I'm better then what you just gave me credit for. I taught myself how to do this scene with justice, and I'm quite pleased with these results here, thanks.

[pictureofpower]

@OkieMerrod83 Yes, i think you did a good job..i liked it alot.

[pictureofpower]

@OkieMerrod83 Yes, you did a good job.... i like it.

[ldeverglobal1]

Whooo!! That was funny. I actually started laughing towards the end of the clip. Well done.

[OkieMerrod83]

@ldeverglobal1 thank you so much. :) I am glad to know it made you laugh. I have more videos planned here for 2011, and hopefully some movie spoofs/things like that, so if you like my current videos enough to subscribe, I hope you enjoy the future videos. :)

[BlackMagnumFilms]

Good job!

[DCD1974POLICEMAN]

It's good..It's good...it's good......ahhhhhhh HEY ! Great job OkieMerrod83!!!

I wanna look MrDenaliking straight in the eye and tell him something!

[MrDenaliking]

virgin right?

[OkieMerrod83]

@MrDenaliking wrong. thanks 4 watching.

[L1701]

*claps* Brilliant re-enactment, sir. Absolutely brilliant. You channeled Chevy Chase's performance in that scene very well.

And since YouTube won't allow the audio from the original version, I'm glad I found this video. It was just as hilarious as the original. I salute you, sir!

[OkieMerrod83]

@L1701 :) thank you very much for the amazingly kind words! I'm really glad you liked it. Incidentally, I thought I could have done a little better with the head movements while drinking the "egg nog" and talking, but overall I was happy with it. I'm glad that you were able to find entertainment in it. :)

[mijoken08]

seriously dude you fuckin scared the shit out of me.....

[mijoken08]

welll oookaaayyy buddy...must be lonley in that house..what a life....

[jaydelivers]

That was so funny LOLOLOL

[xyzpdq1122]

The "Where's the Tylenol?" is the perfect cap.

[404correction]

Good job, dude! This is my favorite scene! I love the way you did it C:

[BladeUnleashed]

Good job with the memorization of the scene, and the body language. Great with the editing too. Thought it was a very good impression of the scene.

[OkieMerrod83]

@BladeUnleashed Thanks dude. I def. tried my best to make it as true to the original scene as possible. :)

[skywalkerpotter21]

Hardless FAT ASS bug eyed!!! lol.

[farmvillionaire]

i liked it. well done, and ignore the ignorance on the page. good job:)

[OkieMerrod83]

@farmvillionaire Thanks :) I really appreciate it.

[joegutierrez64]

LMFAO!!!!! GREAT JOB

[weiserbud67]

lol, that wus funny. job well done! :)

[galentrafford]

Good job, I admire the creativity, and kudos getting that whole rant out without missing a beat.

[MrDenaliking]

i want my 2:20 of my life back!

[OkieMerrod83]

@MrDenaliking oh go to hell. You made the choice to watch it. Idiot.

[Chaos1286]

@MrDenaliking

Im sure he wants the one sentence of space on his comment wall back...

besides what else would you have done with that 2:20? you're watching random youtube videos on your computer... you are obviously bored so shut up...

[markbarrientos]

FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[rcpedersen01]

I thought it hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. Great job!

[deshahubbell]

nice work, these ppl are douches.

[cqsax1]

hey... screw everyone who made stupid comments. I gotta give you respect for not messing up that speech.

[Beemanbros]

@cqsax1 Yeah no shit just to remember all them lines and act them out is tough. What people fail to realize is how man takes did it take Chevy Chase to get all of that. He probably had to do that scene 20 or more times to get it the way they wanted it. You did good dude

[flamespear86]

the only thing i can really critique is that you filmed it with the glass doors blaring light from behind

[TheMayabella]

Of course He's Chevy Chase and you're not :)but You re really GOOD! I laughed a lot:)

[ssx95351]

video was ok...I laughed more at the reply you gave to positveEffects

[MsForeverLoved99]

I liked it :)

[murdochmikey]

think of all the pussy you could have been out chloroforming and stuffing into your van instead of doing this, creeper. at least you've been doing something since pee wee's big adventure, francis.

[OkieMerrod83]

@murdochmikey First off, I have a pretty sweet monte carlo. Not a van. And women go inside it on their own free will and they quite enjoy it in there. 2nd, they are called women, not pussy. Clearly you have a bigger problem then you think I have. 3rd, congrats - you won the douche bag of the century award. You're prize is your spot in my blocked users section! Which you should be proud of. You're the first one to go in there.

[markbarrientos]

@OkieMerrod83  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[cbales1]

That is fucking hilarious!!!! hahahahahahaha!!!! Nicely done!!!!! this is fucking brilliant!!!!!

[amiganutter]

It made me and my family laugh - brilliant mate, ignore below. Its a good re-enactment :)

[goonday41]

chevy chase isnt 450 pounds. youre a useless fuck who's seed should be wiped from the earth.

[OkieMerrod83]

@goonday41 Thank God you were only exaggerating and that i'm not really 450 pounds, huh? Cuz if I was I'd find you and sit on you, thus wiping you and YOUR seed from the earth.

[MyHogwartsRomance]

Water = Egg Nog, nice. :D

[robbiebratc]

funny

[martialartist34]

Not bad at all guys... you took the time and did a pretty good job!! only thing you need is a hair more emotion ebing clark griswold.. other than that.. GREAT JOB GUYS!!

[coaltrain1011001]

the impression of eddie was spot on ...impressed

[Lochness1313]

LOL I hate to admit it, but that was a really good re-enactment :)

[JamieIncubus18]

Haha made me laugh, i loved it!

[PositiveEFFECTS]

you look like shit

[OkieMerrod83]

gee thanks

[homesauce2000]

I thought your video was good :)

Hey PositiveEFFECTS! Nice people only!

[GrayStudios]

@PositiveEFFECTS The irony of your username versus your comment is hilarious. Also, props to you, Okie: brushin' off the haters like a man.

[itsmacko]

i like how all the charecters have the same voice. lol

[Firemerlin86]

haha! excellent! I actually just finished watching Christmas Vacation so still have the scene fresh in my mind and that was perfect! =D Aside from the obvious voice differences it sounded like it was straight out of the movie!

[ImSpongebob007]

If you didn't say it was a re-enactment, I would never have known this wasn't the original.

[turdslicer]

Great job. You kinda sound like Eddie

[bosoxfan96]

wow that was great if you close your eyes its like listining to the movie. Very good job

[wbt0098]

very good job

[rescue5dude]

your videos are lacking views. sorry.

[OkieMerrod83]

Is that an insult? I didn't take it as one, but it kinda seems you were implying it that way. Anyway, you would be correct. It's a long hard journey getting views.

[rescue5dude]

dude! im a huge fan! i cant believe you responded to me!

[lafemmejoni]

Wow, pretty good. One of my favorite scenes from that movie. Clark reminds me of my dad. They have the same luck. Lol'd @ the water eggnog!

[OkieMerrod83]

haha thats awesome. My dad kinda looks like Chevy Chase, but only very slightly. Well, not very much at all. lol. but kinda. :) Anyway thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked my version of the scene!

[ShrewdBiscuit]

HAHAHAHAHA!! I love it!

[ace77man]

You know that was a great impression of Clark w., great video and keep on rockin' it man

Peace, Ace77man

[OkieMerrod83]

It's always fun seeing Clark going ape shit. haha. Anyway, thanks for watching. Real glad you liked it, man!

[OkieMerrod83]

Was it ur first time seeing it or had u seen it before?

[videofan080]

im never disapointed with any of your videos thats why i subscribed

by the way are you planning on doing christmas stories.......like the way you did the holloween stories?

if you werent then thats a good idea to add to your list

i think people would love christmas stories

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks dude. Glad you continue to enjoy my videos! More obviously coming soon, so I hope you'll continue finding laughs when watching em. Anywho, I do have more Christmas videos planned, but haven't thought of telling Christmas stories. But it sounds like a good idea if I can think up some. I can't promise anything, but if I can think of some good ideas I'd like to give it a shot.

[xXSeanXx32]

Great video!

[BttrflyKisses925]

wow this is one of my xmas faves and u did it perfectly! word for word! keep up the vids; ur awesome @ it!

[OkieMerrod83]

Haha thanks very much. :) I am really glad you liked it, Nikki! As far as the Beverly D'Angelo/Ellen part, I was actually completely focused only on the Clark character when planning this, but when the day came to film I knew I had to do a good effort at portraying Ellen too, even if it was more of a characature then anything else. Luckily it wasn't too much of a challenge. :)

[BttrflyKisses925]

lmao ur beverly d'angelo impression was priceless!

[kurtcobainluver27]

lol i've never seen "Christmas Vacation" but now after watching u re-act this scene I want to see it! : P btw ur very good at re-acting scenes from movies!

[OkieMerrod83]

Oh yea its a very funny movie. You should watch it sometime. Even tho i'm proud of this video,I think the scene i'm re-enacting here is still way better in the actually movie. Glad u like my re-enactments! I'm gonna try something new in the future to take these in a new direction, just haven't quite figured it out yet. :)

[krazykatproduction]

i just watched this movie a week ago

[OkieMerrod83]

pretty good movie isn't it?

[krazykatproduction]

yeah lol my parents love it

[tiffxtiff55]

yer a good actor [:

[OkieMerrod83]

thanks very much :) Ur very kind.

[McClover]

do people ask why you dress like a girl sometimes.... people ask me a lot and it annoys me... lol jking good video!

[OkieMerrod83]

Actually no. Kinda surprising tho. People commented my lopsided "breasts" in my "he's a lady" parody, but that's pretty much the only instance someone really said anything about it. It's probably a matter of time before someone does.

[CaylaMOfilms]

haha dude. that was FUCKING good! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!! nice dude

[OkieMerrod83]

Hey thanks very much! :) I'm glad I did it justice and that you liked it!

[fireofthedragon15]

i never saw that movie,but this video had great acting in it,like usual okie.how did you come up with the username okiemerrod anyhow?

[OkieMerrod83]

You should check it out. It's literally a classic. It'll probably be on TV sometime for you to watch. Anyway my dad used to say "Jerrod Merrod Okie Merrod" to me when I was a kid at the kitchen table, so that's how I came up with it. :)

[sheissooocute]

Okie good as always , keep it simple :D , ur good this way :) heheh

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks very much. Glad you liked it! I like acting more then singing/parodying so I plan on doing more original sketches/re-enactments, along with some (but not as many) song parodies thrown in there.

[MrGaky]

i don't know this film so don't get the joke... =/

[OkieMerrod83]

Ah you should check it out sometime. It's a very popular movie, so it should probably air sometime on TV before Christmas is over.

[ragingbull124]

You never let us down, another gr8 vid

[OkieMerrod83]

why thank u very much :) I'm glad you continue to enjoy my vids!

[OkieMerrod83]

haha yes Cousin Eddie is really funny. Great character. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it!

[Greendaycheese]

I just finished watching that movie, i love it :P and you did an awesome job! :D I love this :P

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks very much! I am real glad you liked it! :D

[MorbidKittyProd]

i love that movie. good job! i definitely giggled at the end with "holy S__, where's the tylenol?" lol

[OkieMerrod83]

:) thank you. I am glad you liked it and found it funny!

[AbsoluteMenech]

loved the bit with the egg nog "its good, its good" lol

il be sure to spread the word about ur vids man keep em up

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks for telling friends about me. That's really awesome. :) And i'm glad you liked this video. Thanks for watchin!

[aROARahVyePer]

LOLOLOLOL!!!! I love that part where Clark is riding that super fast sleigh, and he rides through the Wal-Mart parking lot. LOLOLOL

Great parody re-enactment! ^_^

[OkieMerrod83]

Glad you liked it Grant! :) and haha yes i love that scene too with the sled! I remember watching that for the first time many years ago wondering "what the heck is Wal-Mart?!" I can't imagine now living in a world where I don't know what Wal-Mart is!

[aROARahVyePer]

I would definitely LOL big time if you did a parody of that sled scene from Christmas Vacation. That video would get a million views.

[OkieMerrod83]

Ahhh that would be really fun to do actually! But really super hard to pull off. It wouldn't be impossible with a few more resources though! Perhaps someday it can happen!

[ant3]

haha nice vid

my fav. Christmas movie of all time would probably be Fred claus, but i don't have a main favorite

[OkieMerrod83]

Ah that's a pretty recent one! I'd never seen it but I want to. So many good Christmas movies. Must be pretty amazing if u like it the best! :)

[bigster3000]

nice re-enactment even tho i never seen the movie(but i seen ernest saves christmas) oh and 1 more thing okie looooool nice house haha:D

[OkieMerrod83]

Oh God you are missing out! lol. It's an amazingly funny movie! You gotta watch it sometime. The Vacation movies in general are classics. Anywho, glad you liked my video and thanks for the house compliment. :)

[dozztown]

well done man :)

my favorite movie was "ernest saves christmas" i think...blody long time since i've seen that one though

Keep up the good work!!

Peace from Norway

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks :) Glad u liked it. I actually just watched Ernest Saves Christmas for the 1st time the other day. Pretty good movie!

[dozztown]

I would love to see that movie again, havent seen it for about 10 years.

[cookiesonsteve]

MUCH BETTER! move your head and shoulders around a little bit more.. you're a little stiff :D

[OkieMerrod83]

Believe me I had that in mind while doing the scenes. :) I feel I tried my best at re-enacting all the characters mannerisms, such as head and arm movement. Though I think I'll continue to get better as I continue making videos and getting more experience. Anyway, thanks for watching!

[ilikepie9876543210]

Haha! Awesome work and very entertaining!

[OkieMerrod83]

I am glad you liked it as much as I enjoyed making it! Thanks :D

[imxlnt2]

My favorite Christmas movie: Ernest saves christmas

[imxlnt2]

inspiration=artietsmitw lol

[OkieMerrod83]

Well, sorta yes and sorta no. Mostly my inspiration for my re-enactments come from watching a movie and wanting to do my own version of a favorite scene. It's all for the love of making them. ArtieTSMITW simply fuels that inspiration even further since he too makes re-enactments which are funny and has become rather popular doing so.

[innerJAG]

kudos!

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks JAG. :)

[bowlingballout]

Tylenol might not be strong enough...

[OkieMerrod83]

ha perhaps a little bit of Jim Beam might help.

[Pierre12333]

haha good job as always funny 5/5

[OkieMerrod83]

Glad you liked it Pierre. Thanks for the 5/5 rating! :)

[kaisnyker]

the new egg nog. let the rage start lol. the end where you said what you would call the boss, how long did it take you to get that whole thing out (the words right)

that was great buddy. llooking forward to the music video u told me about. i will not say what it is cause i dont want to spoil it for the others ^_^ keep it up you crazy guy you.

spike snyker

[OkieMerrod83]

The egg nog in the movie looked kinda good, so maybe water won't replace that! I had a cheap kind once, and, needless to say, it wasn't for me. lol. Anyway, I decided to take a little extra time on this one, since the rant/flip-out at the end was actually quite challenging to do. So I practiced the lines off camera for about a week before finally doing it.

[TrashPoet]

great, chevy would be proud of you.

and so i am.

absolutely brilliant

[OkieMerrod83]

Hey thank you very much. it's really awesome hearing that. It's funny you say that though because when I was practicing my lines before I shot this, I wondered what Chevy Chase would think if he ever sees this. And that made me even more determined to not f*ck this up. lol. He's one of my fav. actors.

[kad4life]

LOVE IT!!! that was f**king brilliant mate, thanks for doing that :-)

[OkieMerrod83]

Hey no problem. Thanks for the request! Glad you enjoyed it!

[artin13]

nice maybe i can do one request too ?

[OkieMerrod83]

Yep! You can. i'm open to requests all the time within reason. Sometimes even I come up with ideas that end up being near impossible. lol.

[Shaila007]

I like the wigg!! ^^

[OkieMerrod83]

ah yes. That's my trademark wig. I use it for most of my female characters. ;)

[NinjaG02]

lol nice!

[OkieMerrod83]

Thanks! Glad u enjoyed it.
