I’m a huge fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Out of the blue, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo returned to their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. They even brought out a brand new Family Truckster!

The commercial appeared during the Super Bowl, but turns out homeaway.com filmed a full short film (14 minutes)! It’s pretty funny.

There’s also a behind the scenes video of YouTube here.
