The Death of National Lampoon - From Animal House to Christmas Vacation 2

Video Description

From Animal House and Vacation to Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure, the story of National Lampoon is one of the wildest rises and falls in comedy history. Once a countercultural magazine that redefined American humor, National Lampoon became a powerhouse in Hollywood before crashing into irrelevance with a string of cheap direct-to-video disasters. In this retrospective, we’ll explore how the brand went from groundbreaking comedy to bargain-bin punchline — and why Christmas Vacation 2 became the symbol of its downfall.
