Peterson recreated a scene from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, even using a lifelike Clark Griswold dummy hanging from the roof of his house, complete with motorized legs. For responding firefighters, it looked like somebody was dangling from the roof, but a closer look revealed it was just a Christmas decoration.

The elaborate recreation even includes Chevy Chase’s lines from the movie.
