1 In order to distract the family, what animal did Clark tell them he saw?
Answer: Deer

Clark and the family were on their way to get a Christmas tree. While they drove to their destination, Clark and Ellen sang Christmas songs. A truck pulled up behind the family vehicle and was riding their bumper. The truck driver sped up and passed Clark. This made Clark upset and he pulled up along side the truck. Clark said, "Look, kids, a deer," and as Ellen and the kids looked, Clark gave the truck driver an obscene gesture.

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprised the roles from the first two movies. The children were played by entirely different actors which is the norm for the "Vacation" films.

Answer: hemorrhoids

Clark and Ellen's parents all arrived at the same time. As soon as Clark opened the door, chaos ensued. Clark Wilhelm Griswold, Sr and Art Smith were already arguing over park spots. Nora Griswold greeted Clark with a little game they played when Clark was younger. Francis Smith told her daughter she had hemorrhoids. Ellen was trying to keep a straight face when Francis told her about her condition. This scene set the tone for the whole movie.

Doris Roberts played the role of Francis Smith. For most of the movie, she had a drink in her hand and an insult ready for Clark. When Clark first tried to light the exterior Christmas lights and failed, Francis gave a drunken giggle. She also made a crude comment in regards to wasting money at Clark's expense.

Doris Roberts is probably best known for her role as Marie Barone from the sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond". She won four Emmys for that role and was nominated seven times. She also starred in the short lived sitcom "Angie". This is the first role I actually remember seeing her in. It was a good show, but got canceled after 36 episodes.

Clark was get ready to carve the turkey at the dinner table. He complimented Catherine on how good the bird looked.

Nora took her turkey and swirled it around in the water to try to add some moisture. Ellen pretended like she was eating the turkey, when she was actually flinging it over her shoulder. As we saw around the table, everyone was having trouble eating the bird.

Diane Ladd played Nora Griswold. She was Clark's doting mother and seemed to think that Clark could do no wrong. Diane Ladd is the mother to Laura Dern. Diane has starred in many movies, including "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" in which she played the part of Flo.
