I showed this video to my family and I got rolled eyes and declaration from my wife that I am obsessed with the Mach E - never seen me this way about any vehicle
Fortunately my wife loved it!

Now I can see the address. My eyes just aren't that good anymore and I couldn't see the address clearly. Even when I stopped the video it was hard to see the Easter egg.

I saw Christmas Vacation for the first time this afternoon and it was hilarious! ? I had to pay to rent it as AMC in my area wasn't showing it, Comcast cable and Hulu didn't have it either. I rented it for $3.99 from Amazon Prime (which I subscribe to). It was also on Apple TV, Freeform, Netflix and probably more but I don't subscribe to them. You're right; it's a classic now so you have to pay to see it. Zhackwyatt said to go to "Justwatch" but it was only a preview. Ford has a good "Madmen" agency as the commercial is brilliant!

Så aldri filmen, men nå må jeg finne den. Er det noen som vet hvor jeg kan se det; Amazon Prime? Hulu? Comcast-kabel?

I think you can see the movie at "Netflix".
Thanks. I don't subscribe to Netflix anymore. Amazon Prime includes the video service as well as their 2 day shipping so I switched to them.

And a bit of nostalgia. That's an almost universally liked movie, it's super cool that they got the original cast, and best of all the advertisement naturally fits in with the joke from the original movie. Advertising that doesn't feel forced is (to me) the rarest and most effective kind.
I watched it this afternoon and I didn't see they had all of the original cast in the commercial. Hard to know as the Griswold kids grew up and I don't know if the cast is the actors who were kids in the original movie.

Johnny Galecki was the son in the movie and that's not him, but I don't have any idea about the daughter (it may or may not be her). Beverly DeAngelo's parents from the 1987 movie are of course deceased by now, so they guy that plays her dad is definitely a replacement - who looks to be miscast since he looks younger than her.

No....only Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are from the original cast. Fun Fact, the son from the movie is Johnny Galecki, from "The Big Bang Theory".

Nope...the daughter in the movie is Juliette Lewis (From Natural Born Killers). They should have brought her back for this commercial.

Even more fun fact: The first ten or so years my wife and I were together, we used to spend a whole saturday trying to find the "perfect" Christmas tree. When my kids were little we even dragged them out into a huge tree farm near us where they would cut the tree down right there for you. It would take hours for my wife to find that tree, and the kids would complain just like in xmas vacation. 20+ years later we were on a precut lot for less than 15 minutes this year :).
