    Not to call you a liar directly, but I don’t get how “you were there” but you didn’t recognize National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The movie was no. 2 in the box office only behind Back to the Future Part 2. The various National Lampoon movies have been ran on TV countless times during the 90s.

      Not all people watch movies. Some people had four kids and are lucky to have 5 minutes to themselves while they shower.

        Fuck off I have kids, lived in the 90’s, and even I recognize Christmas vacation. Haven’t seen it in its entirety, but I am familiar with it as a cultural touchstone and seen chunks over the years because it was a common rerun. Hence why most people get this meme.

        It’s not a crime to not recognize a movie but don’t throw down “as a PARENT I am too BUSY to watch movies” while you indignantly post on a niche web forum about how “you were there so you know” as if that is any more valid than an out context meme.
