The most underrated holiday movie character

It has to be Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation. The guy steals the show in so many ways but the best scene has to be when he is dumping the waste from his trailer into the sewer.



I love the look on the neighbor's face when he steps out for a jog, smells something horrendous and then sees Eddie cranking a cigar in his bathrobe and boots. We learn in this movie that Eddie had the metal plate in his head replaced because according to Eddie (in his words), "every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour or so."

Solid reason.

I recommend a refresher of this holiday classic if you are trying to kill time between Nets losses and bowl games. Crack open an ice cold "Cousin Eddie" while you're at it (a "Cousin Eddie" is a 16 oz. Busch can).

Happy Holidays
