Griswold, in the movie CHRISTMAS VACATION, caused a city-wideBLACKOUT

As a testament to how far over the top he's going in an effort to have a merry Christmas, Clark Griswold covers his home in "250 strands of lights, 100 individual bulbs per strand, for a grand total of 25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights." This is, by any measure, a lot of lights.

It's so many, in fact, that when the circumstances finally align to the point where they turn on, it causes a drain on the power grid that only ends when an auxiliary nuclear reactor is switched on. That's a lot of juice no matter what standard you're measuring by, but consider that this movie takes place in Chicago, which is the third-largest metropolitan area in the country. For the brief time that the lights are on, Clark Griswold is using the electrical equivalent of 9.4 million people.
