Chevy Chase Posts Online Tribute to Chevy Chase on His 82nd Birthday

You didn’t realize it was Chevy Chase’s 82nd birthday? 

Don’t worry, Chevy Chase has you covered. He’s using his Instagram Story as a personal tribute page, reposting seemingly every single shoutout that the site’s inhabitants have to offer. As I write this story, Chase has shared 32 birthday greetings so far, but hey, it’s only lunchtime.

Here’s a sample of what Chevy’s fans have to say:

• “Happy birthday to the icon, Chevy Chase!”
• “I do be loving this man, happy birthday @chevychase”
• “Happy birthday Chevy as Clark Griswold and may ur day is filled with love, happiness and love and wishing u all the best and you are so funny and amazing day #nationallampoonvacation”

@concrunchcosplay posted a picture from a recent fan fest appearance, where Chase charges $150 a pop for posing. “You were so lovely to meet,” read the caption. “Sorry it looks like we’re holding you hostage.”

@GriswoldsonSullivan went full out, dressing in a Christmas Vacation hockey jersey and recording a video for the big occasion. “Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned Griswold birthday! No, no, we’re all in this together. It’s a full-blown, four-alarm birthday emergency here. You’re going to have the hap-hap-happiest birthday since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny Fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he’s going to find the jolliest Clark Griswold this side of the nuthouse. Happy birthday, Clark.”
