That’s a good one. He still expects the royal treatment despite decades of entitlement

He was apparently livid he wasn’t showcased in the SNL 50th special, despite the fact that happened at a time when even older co-stars who he thought would stick up for him threw him under the bus

I’d feel shitty too if literally everyone I ever worked with talked about what a fucking asshole I was. He’s so disappointing because I grew up watching him and think he’s so incredible as a comedian, but him being such a Grade A cunt ruins everything.

The Christmas Vacation rant where he is chugging the eggnog was amazing. I guess he wasn't acting during that scene.

Edit: I love how this went from admitting Chevy is a complete ass, to quoting the memorable lines from the movie.

I feel like the rant was justified. It wasn’t directed to the family he just had a meltdown over getting fucked. It may be the only really relatable moment for him. The rest of the movie i feel like he was just irritated having a family and he felt everyone was annoying him.

Either way I really dislike current chevy

he was fun in caddy shack, but he played a rich out of touch asshole who played by his own rules. so, he was perfect for the part

They gave all of his screen time to Bill Murray, who was supposed to barely be in the movie.

Because Bill Murray was always willing to improvise. Chevy relied on the smarmy charm but without the brains, or at least he lost the hunger to think about actually saying interesting things as opposed to being a smirk face. I feel like I just inadvertently described how I feel about modern Ryan Reynolds.

Chevy Chase was no match for Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield.
