Christmas Vacation ranks among the best Christmas movies ever made and is certainly one of the best comedies to watch during the holiday season and remains one of the most quotable movies of any genre.

Some members of the Pittsburgh Penguins did their best to spoof some of the movie’s most memorable scenes and lines with the likes of Evgeni Malkin, Beau Bennett, Paul Martin, Robert Bortuzzo, Marc-Andre Fleury and Sidney Crosby starring in the short remake.

Now, remember these guys aren’t trained actors so you have to give them a pass for the acting that left a lot to be desired, but they’re paid to score goals, deliver bone-crushing checks and make save after save, so I’ll give them a pass.

But how great is this?!

The Griswolds, Cousin Eddie, and Todd and Margo all spoofed in this sweet two minute clip has me needing to put in the DVD of Christmas Vacation and see how many lines I can quote throughout the movie.

In a movie with numerous quotes and crazy characters like cousin Eddie, I think my favorite line is when Clark goes off on a rant after his boss stiffs him on the Christmas bonus he had been expecting all year so he could buy the family a pool.

“Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey s*** he is! Hallelujah! Holy s***! Where’s the Tylenol?”

Oh and one more thing, is Rusty still in the Navy?
