Why Cousin Eddie From ‘Christmas Vacation’ Is Every Bro’s Holiday Spirit Animal


 

We all have a family member like Cousin “Shitter’s full” Eddie from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, a.k.a. the best Christmas movie of all time. The dude’s drunk redneck logic is on-point: “That thing had nine lives, you just spent ’em all…. Jelly of the Month Club — Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year.” No movie character makes me cherish my crazy family and want to crush bourbon eggnog with my uncle quite like him.

All the reasons Cousin Eddie is the best in the video above.
