Episode 184
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
(The Mayhem Critic intro is shown, followed by a shot of our favorite residential movie critic Sean J. Archer, a.k.a. the Mayhem Critic, sitting on his couch as he prepares to talk about the subject of today's movie)
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Sean the Mayhem Critic, the critic that rips movies a new one. Have I talked about John Hughes yet?" Sean asked.
Audience Members: YES!
"Okay, just making sure." Sean said.
(Pictures of John Hughes is shown in a montage, followed by clips of some of his movies)
Sean: (Narrating) For you newbies out there are wondering who this loveable genius with the glasses is, he is the man that brought some of the greatest classics known to man. With films like Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, Christmas Vacation. You name 'em. Back in the 80s, he was the voice of a generation with his coming-of-age teen comedies with films like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful.
"And I know that I'll probably be reviewing those movies in the future..." Sean said.
(A clip from Sixteen Candles is shown)
Long Duk Dong (Played by Gedde Watanabe): Oh, sexy girlfriend!
"Yeah, we'll get to that one later. But today, we're gonna be talking about one of my favorite movies from Mr. Hughes." Sean said.
(A poster for Home Alone is shown)
"Already reviewed it." Sean said.
(A poster for Uncle Buck is shown)
"Already reviewed that one too." Sean said.
(Posters for Curly Sue and Dennis the Menace are shown)
"Okay, those two I haven't reviewed yet. No, I'm talking about Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Sean said.
(The title screen for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is shown followed by clips from the movie while the song "Oh Yeah" by Yello playes in the background)
Sean: (Narrating) You don't know how excited I am to review this movie. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Released in theaters on June 11th, 1986, this film was every teenager's dream just to play hooky and roam around the city. Yeah, we all know the story: a loveable and charismatic teenager ditches school with his girlfriend and best friend to have the best day ever and they get into all sorts of mischief while the school principal is committed to get his claws on him. But why am I telling you this? You all know that because you've seen the movie before. This movie is so popular, that former president Ronald Reagan viewed the film at Camp David on June 21, 1986. Hell, even Barbara Bush used dialogue from the movie in her commencement address at Wellesley College in 1990. Plus, it's even quotable too and parodied as well. (A picture of Joe Keery is shown) I'm lookin' at you, Steve Harrington! So today, I'm gonna be analyzing this movie, and probably talk about some of the theories because there's gonna be some crazy theories for me to talk about.
"Let's take a look at Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Sean said.
(The movie opens in the Chicago suburbs and we get an exterior shot of the Bueller Residence)
Sean: (Narrating) Our movie opens in...
(A clip from Victorious is shown)
Trina Vega (Played by Daniella Monet): (Sings) Chicago! Chicago!
"Yeah. Where every John Hughes movie takes place." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) We see that Ferris Bueller, played by Matthew Broderick, fakes an illness to stay home from school and his parents, played by Lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett, believe that he's ill.
Katie Bueller (Played by Cindy Pickett): He doesn't have a fever, but he says his stomach hurts and he's seeing spots.
Tom Bueller (Played by Lyman Ward): What's the matter, Ferris?
Ferris Bueller (Played by Matthew Broderick): Papa?
Katie Bueller: Honey, feel his hands. They're cold and clammy.
"Here's something interesting, Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward actually got married in real life after this movie." Sean said as a picture of Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward is shown. "Sadly, it didn't last long because they divorced in 1992. But hey, at least they got legit chemistry. Plus, Mr. and Mrs. Bueller aren't the only ones who are getting it on in real life."
Sean: (Narrating) But Ferris' sister Jeanie, played by Jennifer Grey, isn't buying any of Ferris' bullshit. And if you think I was joking about Mr. and Mrs. Bueller aren't the only ones getting it on in real life, Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey dated in real life after filming this movie. (A picture of Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey is shown) Hell, I'm not sure how awkward it must've been considering that they played siblings.
"Just like Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter." Sean said. "And if you didn't get it, then it's five across the eyes for 'ya!"
Ferris Bueller: Jeanie? Is that you? (Blinks) Jeanie? I can't see that far. (Sees Jeanie, but his vision is blurry. He pants) Jeanie? Jeanie, I... (Lays back down on the bed)
Jeanie Bueller (Played by Jennifer Grey): Bite the big one, junior, (Gives Ferris the finger while she wipes the corner of her mouth)
Katie Bueller: Thank you, Jeanie. You get to school.
Jeanie Bueller: Wait, you're letting him stay home? I can't believe this. If I was bleeding out my eyes you guys would make me go to school. This is so unfair.
Ferris Bueller: Jeanie, please don't be upset with me. You have your health. Be thankful. (He tells Jeanie to stay quiet, then continues to act sick)
"Besides, I'm the better sibling than you and everybody loves me." Sean said, imitating Ferris.
Sean: (Narrating) So after he fakes out his parents, Ferris is free to break the fourth wall.
Ferris Bueller: (To the viewers) They bought it.
"Now for anyone who isn't too savvy with film terminology. Let me explain to you what "Breaking the Fourth Wall" is." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Breaking the fourth wall refers to the idea of directly acknowledging the audience during a movie or a TV show. It began in the 16th century and it has been used since the silent film era. It also crafted cinematic comedy before Deadpool did it. You also have it in cartoons as well. Mel Brooks uses it in his movies and it makes it pretty funny.
(A clip from History of the World Part I is shown)
King Louis XVI (Played by Mel Brooks): (To the viewers) It's good to be the king.
Sean: (Narrating) TV shows used it at well, most notably Malcolm in the Middle. Hell, even Married... With Children tend to break the fourth wall with some of the characters.
Al Bundy (Played by Ed O'Neill): (To the viewer) But whoever you are, read my lips. Don't tax beer.
Sean: (Narrating) Speaking to the viewer is a tough task to get it right and it can be used inform the viewer.
"Like what I'm doing right now. I'm breaking the fourth wall." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) But you know what? Ferris uses it better than anyone else. And speaking of Ferris, different actors auditioned for the role of the titular character. Actors like Michael J. Fox, Eric Stoltz, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, John Cusack, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. auditioned for the role of Ferris. But John Hughes had Matthew Broderick in mind and he was perfect. Look, I don't care if the Nostalgia Critic makes fun of him, but I absolutely adore Matthew Broderick. He's done some great films in his career and some bad films, but he's an awesome actor. And before this movie, the first Matthew Broderick movie that I watched when I was a kid was Godzilla. Yeah, that movie. And I'm not ashamed to say this, but I love it. It's one of those "So Bad, It's Good" movies.
Ferris Bueller: Incredible. One of the worst performances of my career, and they never doubted it for a second.
"Isn't that what he said when he starred in Deck the Halls?" Sean asked.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris tells us that this is his ninth sick day in the semester and he better make this one count. Also, he gives us some Ned Bigby-style tips on how to fake out your parents.
Ferris Bueller; The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lotta people will tell you that a good, phony fever is a dead lock. But, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid but then, so is high school.
"Hey, hey, hey. Now, I take offense at that. I happen to love high school." Sean said.
Brian: (V/O as Audience Member) NEEEEERRRRRDDDD!
Sean picks up his Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver and shoots the audience member.
"Anybody else? Good. Let's continue." Sean said.
Brian: (V/O) Owwww.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris starts his kickass day off by taking a shower with his hair spiked up like that and washing his junk. There you go, ladies. Ferris just gave you all ideas to pleasure yourself in the shower.
Ferris Bueller: It's not that I condone fascism, or any "ism," for that matter. "Isms," in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an "ism," he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon. "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." A good point there.
"And I quote Yoko Ono, "We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children." A good point there, but then again she broke up the Beatles because she was married to John Lennon." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) We then cut to the best damn part of the movie that's extremely quotable as the economics teacher, played by Ben Stein, calls Ferris' name.
Economics Teacher (Played by Ben Stein): Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
(A clip from Shameless is shown)
Frank Gallagher (Played by William H. Macy): Who?
(Cut back to the movie)
Economics Teacher: Bueller?
(Cut back to the clip from Shameless)
Frank Gallagher: Never heard of him.
Sean: (Narrating) Yeah, this is what Ben Stein is known for, his role in this movie. Before this movie, he began his career as a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Aside from that interesting factoid, he is known for being the host of Win Ben Stein's Money or telling us that we all wear masks, metaphorically speaking (referring to The Mask). Hell, I know Ben Stein for the Clear Eyes commercials.
(A clip from the Clear Eyes commercial from 1997 is shown)
Ben Stein: For dry, red eyes. Clear Eyes is awesome. Unlike the other leading eye drops, it removes redness and has an ingredient to moisturize. (Sees that the beach ball has no redness) Wow.
Sean: (Narrating) But one of the students, played by a pre-Buffy the Vampire Slayer Kristy Swanson, informs him that Ferris is sick.
Simone Adamley (Played by Kristy Swanson): My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid, who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Economics Teacher: Thank you, Simone.
Simone Adamley: No problem whatsoever.
"Good. Now, go throw a basketball at Mama Fratelli's head to make it explode." Sean said, referring to the film Deadly Friend.
Sean: (Narrating) We cut to easily the best damn character of the movie, Ferris' best friend Cameron Frye, played by Alan Ruck, who's staying at home because he's sick. Well, maybe not that sick. He's a hypochondriac. Originally, Emilio Estevez was offered to play the role of Cameron, but he turned it down. So, Ruck, who auditioned for the role of Bender in The Breakfast Club, was offered the role and he got it. Also, he was only 29 years old at the time. Yeah, it's pretty awkward to see a guy who's almost 30 playing a teenager. And here's another fun fact about Alan Ruck, both him and Broderick previously acted together in the Broadway production of Biloxi Blues and I just love the chemistry between the two of them. Anyway, Ferris calls up Cameron to get up out of bed so that way they could have that awesome day off, but Cameron isn't in the right condition to hang out.
Cameron Frye (Played by Alan Ruck): I feel like complete shit, Ferris. I can't go anywhere.
Ferris Bueller: I'm sorry to hear that. Now come on over here and pick me up. Sheesh. (Hangs up)
(Cameron turns off the speaker phone)
Cameron Frye: I'm dying.
(Cameron's phone rings again and he puts it on speaker)
Sean: (V/O as Agent) Hey, Alan. I got you another acting gig. You're going to be working with Charlie Sheen and the chick who starred in the movie Lucas. No, not Winona Ryder. I'm talkin' about the chick from The Goonies. Later!
(Sean ends the call)
"Now, this is where I come to the part of the review where I talk about the fan theories about this movie." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Now, before you all call me a conspiracy theory nut, there are tons of fan theories that I've read about for this movie. You have one theory involving Ferris was really sick and the events of the movie were just a fever dream, another where Ferris and Sloane are a figment of Cameron's imagination, Ferris is living a 'groundhog day'-type situation. And here's a crazy one: Cameron is actually the narrator from Fight Club and Ferris never existed.
"Was it really all in Cameron's mind?" Sean asked.
Cameron Frye: (Chuckles) No.
"I have a list of fan theories to go through and we will talk about them during the review. Trust me." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) We cut to Ferris' mother's job where she gets a phone call from Ferris' principal Ed Rooney, played by Jeffrey Jones...
"Who you might recognize from Beetlejuice, Stuart Little, The Hunt for Red October, Amadeus. Sleepy Hollow and..." Sean said as a picture of Jeffrey Jones' mugshot. "Ooooh. Yeah, he was known for being a fucking pedophile. And in this movie, he's following around a teenager to a borderline criminal degree. Boy, talk about life imitating art."
Sean: (Narrating) Rooney talks to Mrs. Bueller over the phone about Ferris and that he's missed too many days of school.
Ed Rooney (Played by Jeffrey Jones): If Ferris thinks that he can just coast through this month and still graduate, he is sorely mistaken. I have no reservation, whatsoever, about holding him back another year. (Chuckling)
Katie Bueller: This is all news to me.
Ed Rooney: Usually is. So far this semester he has been absent nine times.
Katie Bueller: Nine times?
Ed Rooney: Nine times.
Katie Bueller: I don't remember him being sick nine times.
(A clip from Inglorious Basterds is shown)
Adolf Hitler (Played by Martin Wuttke): (In German) NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!
Sean: (Narrating) He tells her that he's been skipping school, but she doesn't believe him and when he turns to his computer to give her some proof, he sees that the days absent were changed from nine to two days due to Ferris doing some good 'ol fashioned computer hacking before Megan Landry from Cruel Summer.
Ferris Bueller: (To the viewers) I asked for a car, I got a computer. How's that for being born under a bad sign?
"That's right, Ferris. Use your computer hacking powers for good. To hell with the school system." Sean said. "Just be glad that you're not starting global thermonuclear war with that thing."
Sean: (Narrating) After we see the students in Ben Stein's class getting bored out of their minds from him teaching that class, and believe me, I would too, one of the students talk to Jeanie to talk to her about Ferris.
Shermerite #1 (Played by Annie Ryan): I'm really sorry about your brother.
Jeanie Bueller: What are you sorry for? I have to live with the trouser snake.
Shermerite #1: No, I mean, I heard he's really sick.
Jeanie Bueller: Whoa. Whoa. Who said he's sick?
Shermerite #1: A whole bunch of people. They said he's like on the verge of death. This guy in my biology class, said that if Ferris dies, he's giving his eyes to Stevie Wonder. Oh, he's such a sweetie. Got to go. (Leaves)
Shermerite #2 (Played by Bridgett Baron): Hi, Jeanie.
Jeanie Bueller: Shut up.
"Man, Mindy from Friends can be such a bitch. No wonder Rachel's fiance dumped her for Mindy." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Here we see two things: 1. Everybody at Shermer High loves Ferris. And 2. Mindy, I mean, Jeanie, is one of the most despicable, angsty Debbie Downers in all of cinema. But hey, at least we get to see some Freshmen getting goofed on by one of the greatest musical instruments of all time.
(Ferris is seen playing around on his keyboard synthesizer and every time he taps on one of the keys, a coughing sound is made)
"Man, the 80s had some of the most awesome technology ever. Makes me want to go back in time to the 80s." Sean said. "But then again, it'll cost about $8,000 for that thing."
Sean: (Narrating) Back with Mr. Rooney, he wonders what makes Ferris Bueller tick and why he doesn't trust him and his secretary Grace, played by the hilariously talented Edie McClurg, tells Rooney why everybody loves Ferris.
Grace (Played by Edie McClurg): Oh, well, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
"Okay, that is one of my favorite lines of all time and I can list a few from this movie." Sean said.
Ed Rooney: That is why I have got to catch him this time. To show these kids that the example he sets is a first-class ticket to nowhere.
Grace: Oh, Ed. You sounded like Dirty Harry just then.
Ed Rooney: Really?
Grace: Uh-huh.
"Oh, God. Can you imagine Jeffrey Jones as Dirty Harry?" Sean asked.
(Cut to a photo of Dirty Harry. Ed Rooney's head is superimposed on Dirty Harry's body)
Brian: (V/O as Rooney) Go ahead, Bueller. Make my day.
"Oh, great. Now, I'll never watch Dirty Harry the same way again." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris tries to talk Cameron into coming over, but Cameron doesn't feel like it. And after chatting with Ferris, Cameron sits in his car debating whether or not he should go over to Ferris' or not. Then, he throws a hissy fit, which made me laugh before we cut to a boring English class, where we see Ferris' girlfriend Sloane Peterson, played by the lovely Mia Sara. Originally, Molly Ringwald, who worked with John Hughes in films like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, wanted to play Sloane, but Hughes wouldn't let her do it because the part wasn't big enough for her. So, Mia Sara, who starred in the 1985 fantasy movie Legend starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry, was only 18 years old at the time of filming this movie and Hughes nearly fell out of his chair when she told him how old she was because he wanted an older girl to play a 17 year old and Sara was the perfect choice. Anyway, Sloane is scooped out of English class when the nurse gives her some bad news.
Florence Sparrow (Played by Viringia Capers): My dear, I'm afraid that I'm the bearer of bad tidings. Your father called. Your grandmother has just passed.
Sloane Peterson (Played by Mia Sara): Oh, no.
"Excuse me?" Sean asked as he raised an eyebrow.
Ed Rooney: Dead grandmother?
Grace: Yes, that's what Mr. Peterson said.
"Uh, is that the level of bold that they're going with? Dead grandmother? Why couldn't you tell her that the Lord of Darkness killed her mother with a unicorn horn?" Sean asked as a picture of the Lord of Darkness from Legend is shown.
Sean: (Narrating) Rooney doesn't buy the story one bit and just as he's about to call Mr. Peterson, guess who's on the phone right now?
Mr. Peterson: (On the phone) This is George Peterson.
Ed Rooney: How are you today, sir?
Mr. Peterson: Well, we've had a bit of bad luck this morning, as you may have heard.
"The man himself calls up the school." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Thinking that it's Ferris on the other line, Rooney acts unprofessionally like an asshole until Grace let's him know that the Boy Wonder himself is on line 2.
(A sound clip from Dave Chappelle: Killing 'Em Softly plays)
Dave Chappelle: Gotcha bitch!
(Rooney answers the other line)
Ferris Bueller: (On the phone) Hey, Mr. Rooney, how you doin'? Listen, uh, I'm sorry to disturb you at work, but I'm not feeling very well today and I was wondering if it might be possible for my sister to bring home any assignments from my classes that I might need. Have a nice day.
"Well, that's one way of making that guy act like an ass." Sean said.
(Rooney goes back to line 1)
Ed Rooney: Mr. Peterson? Um... No, I... I... I think I owe you an apology, sir.
(Cut to Cameron, who's on the phone and talking in a snooty voice)
Cameron Frye: (In a snooty voice) Well, I should say you do.
Ed Rooney: I, uh, I... I... I...
Cameron Frye: Well, I think you should be sorry, for Christ's sake. A family member dies and you insult me. What the hell is the matter with you anyway?
"That snooty voice that Alan Ruck was doing, that was an in-joke imitation of his former director Gene Saks." Sean pointed out.
Sean: (Narrating) So yeah, it was actually Cameron the whole time. But then it becomes a big problem when they agree for Mr. Peterson to pick up Sloane in person, which Ferris thinks that it's a bad idea.
(Ferris slaps the phone out of Cameron's hand. He runs over to the phone and Cameron picks it up)
Cameron Frye: On second thought. we don't have time to talk right now. We'll get together soon and we'll have lunch.
(Ferris kicks Cameron in the butt)
Cameron Frye: Ow!
(The scene pauses on Ferris and Cameron)
Sean: (V/O as Narrator with a southern accent) You ever have one of those days where life just gives you a good kick in the butt? Sure, you wake up, and everything's fine, and next thing you know, a giant spider is gonna lay 6,000 eggs in your esophagus and... oops! Wrong story.
Ferris Bueller: Where's your brain?
Cameron Frye: Why'd you kick me?
Ferris Bueller: Where's your brain?
Cameron Frye: Why'd you kick me?
Ferris Bueller: Where's your brain?
Cameron Frye: I asked you first.
"You kick me in the ass and you question me about where my brain is at. I should ask you where your brain was at when you starred in Godzilla, buddy." Sean said, imitating Cameron.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris and Cameron get into a little argument and right before he leaves, Ferris apologizes to him and asks him for a small favor, which means that he's asking Cameron if he could borrow his father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. A car that's expensive as shit and made me wonder what was Cameron's father's job. Plus, it comes with the catchiest song of all time.
(The song "Oh Yeah" plays as Ferris and Cameron see the Ferrari)
Cameron Frye: Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion...
Ferris Bueller: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.
"That song became the most popular song used in movies. Name one movie where the song "Oh Yeah" is played throughout the scene." Sean said.
(Posters for other films like K-9, The Secret of My Success, Opportunity Knocks and She's Out of Control are shown)
"Okay, name one television..." Sean said.
(Posters of The Simpsons and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are shown)
"Okay, you got me there." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Yeah, whenever I hear this song or see a Ferrari, I think of this movie. Also, when I watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I think of the scene where Charlie loses his mind in the mail room or when I watch The Secret of My Success, I think of the limo scene and the Sexual Revolution scene. Yeah, it's the most popular song of all time, thanks to this movie.
"Hell, both Dieter Meier and Boris Blank are 78 and 71 and they're still doing songs." Sean said.
(Cut to the Yello music video "Waba Duba")
"And that's one of their new songs." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) While Ferris swoons over the Ferrari, Cameron tries to talk him out of driving his father's prized possession. Yeah, like that's gonna stop Ferris.
(Ferris drives out of the garage)
Cameron Frye: How about we rent a nice Cadillac? My treat. We could call a limo! A nice stretch job with a TV and a bar. How about that?
(Ferris backs up a bit)
Ferris Bueller: Come on, live a little.
Sean: (V/O as Cameron) Oh, God. Either him or the chick from Vince Vaughn inside Kathryn Newton's body are gonna be the death of me.
Sean: (Narrating) Anyway, Rooney escorts Sloane outside to wait for her father. Then Ferris shows up...
(We see Ferris, disguised as Sloane's father in a trenchcoat and a hat and sunglasses)
"Disguised as Inspector Gadget." Sean said as a picture of Matthew Broderick as Inspector Gadget is shown.
Sean: (Narrating) ...as he picks her up.
(Sloane approaches Ferris)
Sloane Peterson: Hi.
Ferris Bueller: Do you have a kiss for Daddy?
Sloane Peterson: Are you kidding?
(Ferris kisses Sloane while Rooney sees this)
"Oh, yeah. I'm sure that he won't find this suspicious at all." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) And with Sloane joining them, Ferris gets ready for a fun day off as they drive into the city of Chicago and we take in the wonderful sights.
Sean: (V/O as Tour Guide) And as you could see here, this where they filmed The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger.
(We see Ferris driving the Ferrari as he raises his hands up and Cameron telling him to keep his hands on the wheel)
"Uhhhh... should I make a joke about Matthew Broderick driving? I don't think I want to make that joke because in 1987, both him and Jennifer Grey were involved in a fatal car crash that killed a mother and her daughter while vacationing in Northern Ireland. But then again, Family Guy made that joke about Matthew Broderick." Sean said.
(A clip from Family Guy is shown)
Peter Griffin (Voiced by Seth MacFarlane): (After crashing his car) Wow, this is just like what happened with Matthew Broderick, except no one's dead.
"Well, at least Matthew Broderick did a Honda CR-V commercial back in 2012 and it parodied Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh, great. I found another commercial to talk about for the next commercials special." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris goes to the parking garage for the attendant to watch the car, but Cameron freaks out about leaving the car in a dirty, dingy parking garage.
Sloane Peterson: Cameron, what's gonna happen to it? It's in a garage.
Cameron Frye: It could get wrecked, stolen, scratched, breathed on wrong, a pigeon could shit on it. Who knows?
"Dude, a lot of worse things can happen to your dad's car. Somebody could take a piss in the gas tank. Trust me, I know. I've seen World's Dumbest Criminals." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Well, at least the car will be in good hands by this fella who definitely looks very trustworthy.
Ferris Bueller: I want you to take extra special care of this vehicle. Okay?
Garage Attendant (Played by Richard Edson): Hey, no problem.
Ferris Bueller: Great.
Garage Attendant: Trust me. (To Cameron) Sir?
Ferris Bueller: Come on. Come.
(Cameron gets out of the Ferrari)
Garage Attendant: Relax.
"Oh, yeah. Like I would trust Vito from Do the Right Thing to watch over this extremely rare and expensive as hell at the finest shady parking garage Chicago has to offer." Sean said as he rolled his eyes in disgust.
Sean: (Narrating) Here's another fun fact: the Garage Attendant role was once offered to Bill Paxton, but he turned it down. Yeah, can you ponder what that might've looked like to see Chet from Weird Science playing that character. But Edson, plays the part perfectly. He kinda reminds me of John Turturro from The Big Lebowski.
(As Ferris, Cameron and Sloane walk away from the parking garage, the garage attendant and his buddy drive around in it. Then, a clip from The Big Lebowski is shown)
Jesus Quintana (Played by John Turturro): Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Mrs. Bueller comes home from work to check up on Ferris, only to see him asleep in bed. Actually, it turns out to be a mannequin that Ferris used to fool the parents. But then, she remembers what Rooney said.
Ed Rooney: (V/O) Nine times.
(As Mrs. Bueller opens the door slowly, we see some twine attached to the door, which is attached to a trophy as it lowers to turn the mannequin over to it's side while the audio of snoring plays from the graphic equalzer and spectrum analyzer stereo)
"And this is where John Hughes got the idea of the mannequin bit which was used in Home Alone." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) As Ferris and company start their fantasic day off, they stop off at the Sears Tower, I mean Willis Tower, I mean Sears Tower, which was called back then before it was called the Willis Tower, they check out the view of the city from the observation deck and check out people in the stock exchange room and Ferris asks Sloane an important question.
Ferris Bueller: (To Sloane) You wanna get married?
(Cameron makes a popping noise with his mouth)
Sloane Peterson: Sure.
Ferris Bueller: Today?
(Sloane laughs)
Ferris Bueller: I'm serious.
Sloane Peterson: I... I'm not getting married.
Ferris Bueller: Why not?
Sloane Peterson: What do you mean, "Why not?" Think about it.
Ferris Bueller: Well, no, besides being too young, having no place to live, you feeling a little awkward about being the only cheerleader with a husband, gimme one good reason why not.
Cameron Frye: I'll give you two good reasons why not, my mother and my father.
(Ferris and Sloane both look at Cameron)
Cameron Frye: They're married and they hate each other.
"And this brings me to my next fan theory that I've read about: Ferris had an affair with Cameron's mother." Sean said.
(A clip from Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes is shown as we see Bill do a spit take while drinking a glass of milk)
Sean: (Narrating) Okay, you're all just doing a spit take right now and are probably thinking: "Has Sean lost his mind?". Yeah, Ferris tells us that Cameron is sick all the time because of the oppressive nature of his household. Keep in mind of the following reasons: Cameron's parents hate each other, his father hates Ferris, which Ferris states later on in the movie, Cameron's mother would go to a parade and wouldn't bust Ferris, the first thing that Ferris asks Cameron if his mom was around, Ferris is obsessed with having a wife and so forth. Which is the reason why Cameron is at odds with his father because they know a terrible secret.
"Son of a bitch. Ferris is boinking Mrs. Frye!" Sean exclaimed. "Oh, God. What have you done to me, Oliver Stone? I'm turning into a conspiracy theorist."
Sean: (Narrating) The trio stop off at a fancy restaurant, where the most snooty Maitre D', played by Jonathan Schmock, who I recognized him as one of the co-creators of the Sabrina, The Teenage Witch sitcom...
"And we see that he just couldn't get out of Chicago. Hell, his father was the old racist owner of The Albi and he treated him like shit because of his sexuality. You wanna know what he did with his father's ashes?"
(A clip from Shameless is shown as we see Stan's son Alan Kopchek, played by Jonathan Schmock, requests his father's ashes and shatters the urn on the ground, spreading Stan's remains all around the floor)
"Yeah, that." Sean pointed out.
Sean: (Narrating) ...and he's very hesitant to allow their clientele eat at their establishment. So, Ferris comes up with a clever plan to get a table.
Ferris Bueller: Hi. I'm Abe Froman. Party of three for 12:00.
(Ferris shakes the Maitre D's hand and gives him a tip. The Maitre D' scoffs and tosses the dollar)
Ferris Bueller: Is there a problem?
Chez Quis Maitre D' (Played by Jonathan Schmock): You are Abe Froman?
Ferris Bueller: That's right. I'm Abe Froman.
Chez Quis Maitre D': The Sausage King of Chicago?
Ferris Bueller: Yeah. That's me.
"Right, and I'm Gus Polinski, the Polka King of the Midwest." Sean said, imitating the Maitre D'.
Chez Quis Maitre D': Why don't you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?
Ferris Bueller: Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?
Chez Quis Maitre D': I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty.
Ferris Bueller: Snooty?
Chez Quis Maitre D': Snotty.
Ferris Bueller: Snotty?
"Yo, look out! He's gonna fire snot from his nose if you don't leave!" Sean yelled out.
Sean: (Narrating) Since that plan didn't work and before they're ready to surrender, the completely demolish that smug son of a bitch with a masterfully crafted plan and they get a table. And while Ferris is taking a victory leak, he gives us a very profound statement.
Ferris Bueller: (To the viewers) I used to think that my family was the only one that had weirdness in it.
"That one sentence is a very important moment in the film that we understand." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) When you're a kid, you imagine the quirks and flaws of your family to be unique to you and you only. Nobody has it as hard as you. But when you become an adult, you begin to realize that everybody's family is weird.
Ferris Bueller: It's good for him. It teaches him to deal with his fear.
"Life is a neverending battle of struggle and we would all benefit from that if we had a friend like Ferris Bueller. He'll just cut through the crap and have fun. Just live life to the fullest in the world.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Jeanie goes to Rooney's office to talk to him, but Grace tells her that he's not in right now because he has some personal business to take care of.
Jeanie Bueller: What's that supposed to mean?
Grace: Well, I suppose it means it's personal and it's none of your business, young lady.
(Jeanie scoffs)
Jeanie Bueller: Nice attitude. (Walks over to the door)
Grace: Isn't Mrs. Hagel expecting you in consumer ed. class?
Jeanie Bueller: Probably.
(Jeanie leaves the office)
Grace: (Sighs) What a little asshole.
"Damn! The mouth on Hamton's mother. Imagine her saying something like that to Hamton." Sean said.
(A clip from Tiny Toon Adventures is shown)
Winnie Pig: (Her dialogue is replaced by the Car Rental Agent's dialogue) You're fucked.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Ferris sees that his father is at the same restaurant as him. And yet, he doesn't even recognize him. Hell, he was in the same restroom as him and he didn't even hear his voice. How oblivious is that guy? But enough about almost getting caught, we see that Principal Rooney is out looking for Ferris and to catch him in the act. He heads into a pizza joint and let's just say that things aren't going his way.
Ed Rooney: Les jeux sont faits. Translation, the game is up. Your ass is mine.
(The person turns around, it's revealed to be a girl with a short haircut and makeup. Rooney looks shocked and speechless. The girl sips her soda through a straw, Rooney closes his eyes as the girl spits soda on his face)
"I think you should be careful doing that, because he's into that kind of stuff. Which reminds me. Excuse me." Sean said as he gets up from off of the couch.
Sean grabs his revolver and steps outside to the backyard as 80s synth music plays in the background. He looks at a photo of Jeffrey Jones hanging on a target board while staring at it with pure intensity.
Ed Rooney: (V/O) Your ass is mine.
The young critic whips out his revolver and shoots at the photo. He then picks up a tomahawk and throws it directly at the photo before putting on some sunglasses and walks away.
(Rooney grabs some napkins to wipe his face. While that's going on, the Cubs game is playing on TV and we see that Ferris is there with Cameron and he catches the ball)
Ed Rooney: What's the score?
Pizza Man (Played by Joey D. Vieira): Nothing, nothing.
Ed Rooney: Who's winning?
Pizza Man: The Bears.
"DA BEARS!" Sean yelled out.
Sean: (Narrating) Rooney continues his endless attempt to find Ferris and he's trying so hard to catch him. But take it from a guy who's been pursued by a certain Ghostface killer for years, I know that it won't end well.
"Isn't that right, Ghostface?" Sean asked.
"Yep, that's right." Ghostface said.
Sean: (Narrating) He heads to the house and we get a little Home Alone situation here when Rooney tries to sneak into the house. Yeah, that whole scene reminds me of Home Alone.
"Not only that, we get this little hilarious moment." Sean said.
(We see that the garage attendant and his buddy are driving in the Ferrari while jumping over a hill while the Star Wars theme plays in the background)
"Still a classic moment." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Oh, yeah. Then we see Rooney attempting to go through the doggy door and has an encounter with the Rottweiler.
(The Rottweiler growls at Rooney. Rooney smiles at the Rottweiler)
(A clip from The Santa Clause is shown)
Scott Calvin (Played by Tim Allen): Nice teeth.
(The Rottweiler barks at Rooney)
Ed Rooney: Stay! (Makes a run for it) Sit!
(The Rottweiler chases Rooney)
Ed Rooney: Sit! Heel! Stay!
"Okay, so we know that the Buellers have a dog. But there are some other things that I have noticed while watching the movie." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) I noticed that there's a child's drawing on the refrigerator. Then, you have a picture of a much-larger family sitting in Tom's office. Well, originally, the movie was much longer and it was jam-packed with way more ideas. Hell, there's probably a Hughes Cut of the film stashed away. There were some material that were in the film but were deleted. Some we see in the original theatrical trailer like Jeanie in the locker room, Ferris' younger brother and sister, who were both completely removed from the movie. There were also additional lines of dialogue and you have additional scenes like Ferris and the gang ordering pancreas in the Chez Quis restaurant, Ferris, Cameron and Sloane on a Chicago riverboat. There was also a scene where Ferris goes on a radio station in Chicago and says that he's going to be the first Chicago youth to go into outer space, but it was deleted due to the Challenger disaster happening. Oh, and John Hughes wanted to do a scene where they go into a strip club.
"#ReleaseTheHughesCut. Yeah, release it with the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever." Sean said.
(Cut to a Blu-Ray copy of Ferris Bueller's Day Off: The Hughes Cut is shown with a picture of Ferris, Sloane and Cameron on the cover along with Ed Rooney and Ferris's sister Jeanie)
"And here we get one of my favorite moments in film history." Sean said.
(Cut to the scene where Ferris, Cameron and Sloane head to the Art Institute of Chicago and looking at some art pieces)
Sean: (Narrating) We see Ferris, Sloane and Cameron arriving at the Art Institute of Chicago, and I love the bit where the three of them are walking in line with the little kids. We see them looking at some of the greatest pieces of art, and watching this when I was young, it made me appreciate art more than ever. You can recognize some of the artwork from famous artists like Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, the Red Armchair by Pablo Picasso, The Petite Creuse River by Claude Monet. Again, I love the little moment of the three of them posing like the statue with their arms crossed and Ferris' serious look gives me a little chuckle. But my absolute favorite part of this scene is with Cameron as we see him looking at Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte and while he's looking at the painting, he struggles to find his identity in the face of the little girl in the painting and I love the fact that they're building on Cameron's character and Ruck's look here, along with the fantastic instrumental version of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" by The Dream Academy, it's enough to make anyone emotional.
"Christ, I love this movie." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) They head to a parade happening and we get a little cameo from the guy with the mullet himself, John Hughes. You'll see him running between the crowd of people. Don't blink because you might miss him, but then they end up seeing Ferris' father sitting in the cab next to them.
(Tom is sitting in the cab and looks over at the next cab. He does a double take and sees Sloane, who is wearing sunglasses)
Sean: (V/O as Tom) Hmm, this teenage girl looks oddly familiar. Eh, it's probably nothing.
"And yet, he does not recognize his son's girlfriend sitting in the cab. How oblivious is this guy?" Sean asked.
Sean: (Narrating) After almost getting caught, Ferris makes his way onto a parade float and starts singing Wayne Newton's Danke Schoen and then we get one of the catchiest and most recognizable songs of all time.
(Ferris lip-synchs to The Beetles' "Twist and Shout" and everybody starts singing and dancing)
"Yeah, I can't skip over this part because it's another one of my favorite scenes that made this movie famous." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) I would just like to mention that the choreography for this scene was done by Kenny Ortega. Yep, the guy who brought us Hocus Pocus and the Descendants movies, and you could tell that everybody had a ball filming that scene.
"Yeah, tell me that you don't feel like getting up and dance to the song, because I know you want to." Sean said.
(The song "Twist and Shout" plays as we see Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog dancing, followed by a clip from The Lighthouse where we see Ephraim Winslow and Thomas Wake dancing, then it's followed by a clip from Iron Man 3 where we see Tony Stark dancing and it is followed by a blooper from Ant-Man where we see Paul Rudd dancing)
Sean: (Narrating) Back with Rooney, he tries to get inside the house and he knocks out the dog with a vase, Jeanie arrives home to catch Ferris in the act and she finds out that he's skipping school, so Rooney makes it inside and closes the door, Jeanie checks it out with the both of them thinking that Ferris is in the house.
Jeanie Bueller: Ferris.
Ed Rooney: Bueller.
(Jeanie pops up from around the corner)
Jeanie Bueller: Ha!
(Rooney pops out as well)
Ed Rooney: Ya!
(Jeanie screams and kicks Rooney in the face three times, knocking him out. She continues to scream while running away and up to her room)
"DAMN! He got knocked the fuck out! Okay, this needs some appropriate dialogue for this scene." Sean said.
(We see Jeanie kick Rooney in the face once more)
Sean: (V/O as Jim Ross): WHOA! A KICK TO THE FACE! SHE KNOCKED HIM OUT WITH A KICK TO THE FACE!
Sean: (Narrating) Jeanie calls the cops and as Rooney fixes himself up, she lets him know that she called the cops and has her father's gun, so he leaves the house and foolishly drops his wallet on the kitchen floor. Also, his car gets towed. Back with Ferris, they get ready to drive back home with the Ferrari, until Cameron sees that there are a few miles racked up on the odometer, his reaction...
(Cameron screams before cutting to different shots of Chicago)
"Seems like the right reaction to me." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile, Jeanie is saved when the police ring the doorbell, but when she opens the door, she sees that somebody ordered Ferris a friggin' prostitute.
Singing Nurse (Played by Stephanie Blake): I heard that you were feeling ill. Headache, fever, and a chill. I came to help restore your pluck 'cause I'm the nurse who likes to...
(Jeanie shuts the door)
"Yeah, very appropriate for a PG-13-rated film. I mean, we already had one F-Bomb dropped." Sean said.
Ed Rooney: (To the dog) Look what Uncle Ed has for you, you little fucker.
"Yeah, another F-Bomb and this movie is definitely getting to R-rated territory." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile with Ferris, Cameron becomes semi-catatonic from the shock, so they figure a nice relaxing time in the jacuzzi would help. But Cameron has other things on his mind, so he tries to off himself before he stars in Going Places. Cameron wakes up and Ferris pulls him out of the pool.
Ferris Bueller: Hey, Cameron. Cam. Cameron, wake up! Come on, wake up. Hey, wake up. Oh, shit, Cameron, come on. Cameron! Come on, wake up! Hey.
(Cameron blinks and smiles as he looks at Ferris)
Ferris Bueller: What is that?
Cameron Frye: Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.
Ferris Bueller: You're kidding? Oh.
Cameron Frye: Wow, that was pretty impressive, man. (Laughs)
Ferris Bueller: You bitch. Oh, you son of a bitch.
"My friend, you've been watching too much Freebie & the Bean." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Back with Jeanie, she is picked up by the police and while waiting for her mom to pick her up, we get a little Red Dawn reunion as we see her talking to Charlie Sheen, who looks like he strung out on tiger's blood and high on cocaine.
Boy in Police Station (Played by Charlie Sheen): Drugs?
Jeanie Bueller: Thank you, no. I'm straight.
Boy in Police Station: I meant, are you in here for drugs?
Jeanie Bueller: Why are you here?
Boy in Police Station: Drugs.
"I also accidentally shot my ex-fiancee Kelly Preston in the arm, I assaulted my ex-wife Brooke Mueller. I got a whole list of shit that I've done." Sean said, imitating Charlie Sheen.
Boy in Police Station: You wear too much eye make-up. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore.
(Jeanie stays silent and looks at him for a moment)
Boy in Police Station: You don't wanna talk about your problem?
Jeanie Bueller: With you? Are you serious?
Boy in Police Station: I'm serious.
Jeanie Bueller: Blow yourself.
"Uh, yeah. I'm pretty sure that he has Bree Olson, Georgia Jones and Brett Rossi to blow him." Sean said as the audience boos at him. "What? What? What?! Come on! You know it's true! You know it's true! That dude's been in relationships with three porn actresses. Don't deny it!"
Sean: (Narrating) Back with Ferris and the gang, they try to run the car in reverse to rewind the odometer, but that fails and Cameron finally snaps.
Cameron Frye: I gotta take a stand. I'm bullshit. I put up with everything. My old man pushes me around. I never say anything! Well, he's not the problem. I'm the problem. (Exhales) I gotta take a stand. I gotta take a stand against him. I am not gonna sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I'm gonna take a stand. I'm gonna defend it. Right or wrong, I'm gonna defend it.
(Cameron starts kicking the car)
Cameron Frye: I'm so sick of his shit! (Kicks the car once more) I can't stand him, and I hate this goddamn car. (Kicks the car repeatedly) Who do you love? Who do you love? You love a car. You son of a bitch.
"Man, Alan Ruck does not get enough credit for his performance. That is some amazing acting right there." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Cameron pushes it too far when he pushes the car out of the garage and destroys it. And as tragic as it is to see this beauty destroyed, it's pretty satisfying just for Cameron to unleash his pent-up aggression. Afterwards, Ferris tells Cameron that he'll take the blame, but Cameron declines and decides to stand up to his father.
"Yeah, he'll end up suffering the same fate like on Freaky." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) With Jeanie picked up from the police station, Ferris drops Sloane off at her house and they kiss before Ferris rushes home until he has a run-in with Jeanie and the race home is on and boy, is this an awesome scene. You have music, close calls and slow motion that fit perfectly in this little scene. Every time I watch this movie and when I get to this scene, I applaud at the little jump that Ferris makes. So Ferris makes it back home, only to be confronted by Rooney who finally catches him and we get the most unlikely team-up since Superman and Bugs Bunny.
Jeanie Bueller: (Opens the back door) Hi. (To Ferris) Thank God you're all right. You know, we've been worried sick about you.
(Ferris looks at Rooney, then looks at Jeanie as she winks at him)
"Way to go, Jeanie. Way to have your brother's back." Sean said.
Jeanie Bueller: By the way, Mr. Rooney, you left your wallet on the kitchen floor.
(Rooney gasps in shock as Jeanie throws his wallet into the mud. She shuts the door and the Rottweiler wakes up, growling at he sees Rooney)
"Man, talk about every dog has it's day. Am I right?" Sean asked.
Sean: (Narrating) Ferris rushes back to his room to wait for his parents and throws his baseball at his stereo to turn it off before he gets busted. They see Ferris in bed believing him to be in bed all day and it turns out to be an awesome day off.
Ferris Bueller: (To the viewer) I said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sean: (Narrating) And the movie ends with Rooney hopping on the bus filled students. And if you stayed after the credits, you get a little treat at the very end.
Ferris Bueller: (To the viewers) You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go.
"Hell, it's not the first one to do it, The Muppet Movie did it. Plus, it paved the way for endless spoofs." Sean said.
(Clips from the movie are shown once more as Sean gives his final thoughts about the film)
Sean: (Narrating) And that was Ferris Bueller's Day Off and do I even need to explain? It's still an absolute classic. Matthew Broderick is amazing as Ferris Bueller, having staring directly to the camera and speaking to the viewer is a techinque that is rarely used. Alan Ruck adds some humanity and depth and his story arc in the film is tragic. The supporting cast is great as well with Mia Sara's beauty, Jeffrey Jones playing an outrageous villain, Jennifer Grey playing the Debbie Downer and everyone in between. You have some of the most memorable lines and memorable moments as well as the music. It's the ultimate 80s comedy while remaining timeless and it is the love letter to Chicago. There was also a TV show that aired in 1990 and it starred Charlie Schlatter as Ferris Bueller, Jennifer Aniston as Jeanie, before she starred in Friends and Ami Dolenz as Sloane. And here's a clip from the show.
(A clip from Ferris Bueller is shown)
Ferris Bueller (Played by Charlie Schlatter): (To the viewers) Matthew Broderick as me. (Pulls out a cardboard cutout of Matthew Broderick from out of the closet) No way. He's too white bread. Too two-dimensional. Too, too tootsie goodbye!
(He grabs a chainsaw and cuts the cardboard cutout in half and removes his safety goggles)
Ferris Bueller: This is television. This is real.
"And just like the Uncle Buck sitcom, that show only lasted one season. Just be glad that they didn't make a Breakfast Club sitcom." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) What can I say about it? In the words of Ferris Bueller:
Ferris Bueller: It is so choice.
Sean: (Narrating) It has something for everyone to love from John Hughes' writing to the insanely catchy soundtrack. This movie is nearly 40 years old and it still holds up till this day. If you haven't seen it in awhile, then watch it again and relive the 80s. And remember, live life to the fullest. Ferris Bueller's Day Off gets 5 Ferraris out of 5.
"I'm Sean the Mayhem Critic and I will see you guys next time." Sean said as he gets up from off of the couch and leave.
The scene fades to black right when the credits roll. After the credits end, we get a little post-credits scene where we see Sean walking out of his office in his black robe as he looks up at the camera and gets startled a bit.
"You're still here? It's over. Go home." Sean said before walking away, then turns around to look at the camera once more. "Go."
Yello: Chicka chicka.
