How Many National Lampoon Vacation Movies Are There

Ever wondered just how many times the Griswolds packed up the Wagon Queen Family Truckster for a disastrous road trip? You're not alone!

The Griswold Gauntlet: How Many Flicks?

Okay, let's get straight to it. There are five official National Lampoon's Vacation movies.

Yep, five glorious doses of family dysfunction and hilarious mishaps. Prepare for some serious laughs!

This is where it all began! Clark, Ellen, Audrey, and Rusty pile into the car. Their goal? Wally World!

What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Absolutely everything.

"We're going to have so much fun we're going to need plastic surgery to remove the smiles from our faces!" - Clark Griswold

The Griswolds win a trip to Europe! This one is packed with even more over-the-top gags.

Think Stonehenge, German oompah bands, and mistaken identities. Absolute chaos ensues!

Arguably the most beloved! The Griswolds stay home for Christmas.

Expect tangled Christmas lights, exploding turkeys, and uninvited guests. It's the perfect holiday disaster.

The Griswolds head to Las Vegas. Clark gets a gambling problem.

Rusty becomes "Nick Papagiorgio", and Audrey gets married... twice! It's Vegas, what do you expect?

A reboot/sequel! This time, Rusty takes his family on a road trip.

He wants to recreate his childhood vacation. But things, naturally, go horribly wrong.

The Vacation movies are funny because they're relatable. We've all experienced family travel stress!

They take those anxieties and crank them up to eleven. They give us permission to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Plus, Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold is comedic gold. He's the ultimate well-meaning but completely inept dad.

There's also Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure. It focuses on Cousin Eddie and his family.

It's generally considered... not great. But hey, if you're a die-hard fan, give it a whirl!

Ultimately, the original five films capture the spirit of family vacation disasters perfectly. Watch them!

Absolutely! If you need a good laugh, put on a National Lampoon's Vacation movie.

Just be prepared to cringe, laugh, and maybe even feel a little grateful for your own (hopefully less disastrous) family vacations.

Get ready to yell "Roll 'em up!" and start your own Griswold adventure. You won't regret it.
