What Was the Name of the Moose in National Lampoon’s Vacation?

By Alice Nichols

Are you a fan of National Lampoon’s Vacation? This classic comedy movie has been a favorite of many since its release in 1983.

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie involves a moose. But what was the name of that moose? Let’s find out!

First, let’s set the scene. The Griswold family is on a road trip to Walley World, and they’re driving through the beautiful countryside.

Suddenly, they spot something in the road ahead of them – it’s a giant moose! They swerve to avoid hitting it, but end up crashing their car.

Now, back to the question at hand – what was the name of that moose? The answer is Marty Moose!

Marty Moose is actually a fictional character created for National Lampoon’s Vacation. In the movie, he appears on various souvenirs sold at Walley World as their mascot.

The moose that appears in the famous scene where the Griswolds crash their car is not actually named in the movie. However, many fans refer to him as “the Wally World Moose” or simply “the Moose.”

Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s talk about why this scene and this moose have become so iconic. Part of it has to do with how unexpected and hilarious it is – who would expect to see a giant moose blocking their way on a highway? And part of it has to do with how well-executed it is – from Clark Griswold’s panicked swerving to Ellen Griswold’s deadpan delivery of “I think you’re all f***ed in the head,” everything about this scene just works.

In conclusion, while Marty Moose may be the official mascot of Walley World in National Lampoon’s Vacation, he did not actually appear in that famous scene involving a moose blocking the road. So next time you watch the movie, remember that the name of that moose remains a mystery – but his impact on pop culture is undeniable.
