He was a Drug Dealer. That's why everyone liked him. They thought he was a "righteous dude"
reeatch Pot is a drug. As is alcohol, sugar, caffeine, cocaine, etc..
@@reeatch Drug - A medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.
Pot fits the definition.
No dude he had a “I can change your grades” business.
When they’re talking by the phone to Ferris, someone says “Yeah, he’s getting me out of summer school.” And then later we see him change his days absent.
@@katmyers6972 he's a hacker. He can get whatever that apple IIe can connect to over the phone. He got a computer, his sister got a car.
GATO MICH makes sense. All those gadgets he has. All the money he keeps throwing around. He can probably afford a car but doesn’t want his parents to get suspicious.
He didn't pay for that lunch. The Sausage King did.
Yep, good ol' Abe!!
Fuck the sausage king! I'm from syracuse. I only eat gianelli's
Agent Washingtub Which still means he stole it.
Genius
House account. All the big wigs always have one at fancy pants restaurants.
Ferris is every teenagers fantasy of what they want to be.
The reason Ferris comes off as an evil jerk when you overanalize him, is because when you really think about basic teenage (and really human) fantasies they are mostly the desire to do mean and selfish things without suffering consequences.
That's the whole movie, doing what ever he wants to who ever wants and no one punishment for it.
Ferris is the teenage fantasy, Cameron is the teenage reality.
Jimmy Amato I think he meant that we all dream of "total freedom" but most people, at least today, in western society are selfish to that degree.
morning morality Even then it holds a little true. Ferris is also honorable which most people think they are(honorable). Cameron faces up which most people realize they have to do(reality). At least that's how I see it.
Then what would Sloan be? If what you're saying is true, I'd take it that she represents the sense of self, if I remember the movie right, she added nothing to the plot and mostly just took part in what was happening. Think about people in general, we mostly just take part in reality or our fantasies.
Jimmy Amato What's said and what was meant are two different things but we'll let him clarify. He was also generalizing and a general statement, by definition, leaves room for exceptions. So, if it doesn't apply to you then it doesn't apply to you.
The second comment I made was made under the assumption that he's correct in his thinking of what each character represents so your assertion is irrelevant. That doesn't speak to the fact that most characters, whether intended or not, can have their development traced back to certain archetypes.
Gootothesecond
I'll be happy to clarify but a full clarification would need at least a 13 week course in classical literature, psychology, and history, and while I like to think of myself as a student in all three, I am not a teacher in any (well I did teach history but not related to what I am talking about now).
Most fantasies come from the ID's struggle with ego and superego. Power fantasies come from the id's desire to just do whatever it wants without the constraints of reality that the ego forces on it. Freedom fantasies come from the ids desire to just do whatever it wants without the constraints of morality that the superego forces on it.
Some fantasy media try to explore this, Superhero genre is nothing but exploring this where people get literal powers and they struggle with using it for their own selfish gain or to help other people.
Other fantasy media (like Ferris) ignore the struggle all together and just have fun with the "hey this guy somehow has the power for everything to go his way so he's using it for his own benefit."
Hey I don't know maybe 364 days out of the year Ferris is basically using his reality bending powers to feed starving children in Africa, so maybe the movie is literally about "his day off" from being a modern day Jesus. Or maybe it's just a fun teen movie about what kids wish they could do but can't. Assuming it's the later Ferris is just a kid using his superpowers for his own gain... which is what most kids, and most adults would do with the same powers. Maybe not mean but ultimately selfish.
Ferris really was sick and the entire movie is his fever dream ... duh
damnn
plumlogan why did u just said that🤕
Catalina Ramos I didn't just say that - I said it about a year ago ... or did I ...
wub ... wub ... wub ...
jesus
Matt and John said that ages ago. He's got a fever
To the people saying he's being too critical, the point of Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder is that he's /obsessive/ over the little details of the movie. His point is to be ridiculously critical. Get over it.
***** Thank God someone understands the point of it.
+Morgan But if it's not entertaining, it's moot. Two minutes in, and I'm moving on.
+Morgan It hurt my feelings.
Morgan You tell-em' right-on! You so get it!😃✔
Oh I see!
Just food for thought: perhaps Ferris is not the protagonist, maybe Cameron is?
Ferris never changes throughout the show. He runs almost entirely on luck and improvising from start to finish. He learns nothing, doesn't grow as a character, nor does he face anything that he himself considers a real crisis. And as the video attempts to show, he is possibly a terrible person at heart.
On the other hand; Cameron starts the show sick, in bed, pretty much letting life run it's course and accepting it. By the end of the movie, he's smashed his dad's prized car, told Ferris he wants to take responsibility for the day off with his parents, plus he sneakily watched his best friend's girlfriend change into her swimsuit by admittedly faking a catatonic state (kinda creepy, but given the dialog between him and Sloan even she seems to accept that he's coming out of his shell and didn't seem to feel violated or offended).
He even goes so far to state that he could have stopped Ferris if he wanted to, something everyone else in the movie is seemingly incapable of doing.
Clearly Cameron gained personal strength as a result of the events of the day.
Certainly not stating the only conclusion, but I think it's worth considering who's really at the center.
Indeed! Although when I intend to watch FBsDO I usually do it because I want to see a fun movie and have a laugh, I always end up focusing on Cameron and the movie does too! The movie wants us to see what Cameron's going through even though we can only see his shortcomings when it comes to standing up for what he wants. At the end of the film I always end up rooting for Cameron and I also wonder how his "little chat" with his dad went 😦
Naw I think Ferris is the good guy he took Cameron out to show him that theres is good in the world. In a way he saved Cameron from probabaly killing himself
@@TriiangleJellyfiish he really did. Jesus, Cam looked suicidal the entire movie up until the final scenes.
There are two strong clues for that. First is Ferris, just before the day goes off, saying:
If anybody needs a day off, it’s Cameron. He has a lot of things to sort out before he graduates. He can’t be wound this tight and go to college. His roommate’ll kill him." Second goes by lovely miss Sloane when at the end she's talking with Ferris about Cameron: "You knew what you were doing when you woke up this morning, didn't you?"
Sounds like a plot just for our dear friend Cameron here. So yeah I'm on the same page with that idea.
I don’t think Cameron faked it to specifically see ferris’ gf, I think he just let it happen after she started
I figured ferris had money because he was a spoiled, rich, white suburban kid. Probably had a few hundred bucks laying around. How do you think all us suburban kids can afford drugs?
Right?
Exactly. I mean, look at all the shit he has in his room, and how big his damn house is. Clearly they're not a family that's short on sweet-sweet disposable 80's income.
he asked for a car and got a computer... he didnt ask for a car and get a box of legos... definatly money there
function86
I know right, this is set in the early 80's. A computer was a rare and very pricey thing. Hell the money they spent on the Computer they could have bought him a good used car easy.
If its not a fever I always thought there should be a part 2 where he works at the FBI. Oh wait that's Garcia boyfriend on criminal minds
I for one would like to see "SpongeBob SquarePants perfectly mirrors Dante's Inferno"!
Im still waiting for the scrotum episode. Its long overdue
Reala Namea holy crap I was just about to post that and I was like…what if somebody already did??
I, too, would loke to hear that
Who is watch in 2017?
LifeHacks123 2018
the other dude was rich, his dad had a Ferrari. maybe they used his money
So you know why they couldn't hack the miles off of the Ferrari's odometer? Because the odometer's pickup was built on the front free-spinning wheels, rather than the rear drive wheels.
They could spin the front wheels backwards and hack the odometer. But they'd have to manually spin them the whole time.
They were both rich
@@carultch Would that really work, or is the mechanism only work in one direction? Guess we need Mythbusters to buy a Ferrari and test it out.
@@RCAvhstape On that particular car, it would've worked if they manually spun the front wheels backwards, or drove in reverse. Eventually, manufacturers put mechanical clutches in the odometer pickups, which became a necessity on 4 wheel drive cars. On modern cars, the electronic odometers only count forward, regardless of which way the car is driven.
you mean cameron
A self-centered teen with no understanding of or care for consequences? Holy shit, how totally unlikely.
Bit of a under exaggeration. Teenagers are impulsive, selfish, and reckless, but they're not that "cool" under high stake situations. He's a great manipulator, liar, charmer, pretends to care about others, but only to have a fun day off of school, and doesn't take personal responsibility
hahahhaa yeah this guy is just lacking viewss
@@Olivetree80 Disagree. Learned manipulation makes it easier to deal with. Plus, we Gen X teens did take responsibility for a lot of things that kids today just cry into their space over. Most of us worked full time at 15, bought our own cars, paid for gas and insurance and still played 3 sports and fed our siblings.Economy sucked in early 80s. We stepped up to help out and buy our own shit. Not millennials or 1st wave Gen Z slackers. 2nd wave is doing it some though now that were right back where we were in 1980 economically. If you get offended, that is YOUR problem..Dont deflect your weak sh1t onto the rest of us..we dgaf.
Please feel free to make these 20 minutes long if it means we can hear Dan analyse more problems with Ferris Bueller
srsly
This this THIS!
ferris bueller's is really cameron's day off...this day was tailored for cameron's needs.
Ah, so you're the one who nabbed this username, lucky
Whenever I discuss things with my friends they always say things like, "You're looking to far into this!" Bitch, of course I am. I'm talking about a film theory, not some intense government secret organization. It's for fun! Jesus, that's why I like these videos. I've found where I belong.
Your friedns sound boring. Join mine :D
Only the beginning and end scenes really happened. Ferries was in bed the entire time and had a fever induced hallucination.
I'd believe it
And Ed Rooney is really a Doctor (or a Psychiatrist) who’s been called by the Buellers to check their son..
I like the theory about the day in the movie being the last day of his groundhog day. That's why he's so slick. He breaks the loop by helping Cameron improve.
He never helped Cameron improve at anything, on the contrary lol
@@thiago375 Might be. I must have typed the comment off of the video alone. I haven't seen the movie for years. 😅
this is a thirty year old film, but I only saw it for the first time tonight. I kept thinking the whole way through what a psychopath Ferris was
I only saw it for the first time on 26 February 2024, and I had the same thought. Bueller is despicable character.
You Rooney’s friend or something?
Great points, but im astounded that he missed the biggest thing in the movie that made no sense. How the fuck did Ferris orchestrate a musical number during a live parade? He not only had everyone in the parade in on it, but people on the streets were dancing in formation. HOW? How did he even get on the float to begin with? And most parade floats arent equipped with speaker systems at all, let alone ones loud enough to play music that can be heard in a elevated Chicago skyscraper.
Charisma. Just relax.
Eternal Light kinda goes with the theory that it all takes place in Ferris's head.
sarah gray Or maybe bits and pieces take place in his head and the rest is real.
Eternal Light Ferris invented the Flash Mob to cheer up his friend.
This will answer most of those questions: Ferris is awesome. And Black people don't need to choreograph.
The comments in this video are so unappreciative. 'Its a movie, stop looking into it that much'. Firstly that's his job, and most people find it entertaining and interesting. Secondly, and I don't know how much clearer I can put this; HE IS LOOKING AT IT AS IF IT WERE THE REAL WORLD, NOT A FICTIONAL WORK. When these situations are put into the real world they don't make sense, when they are presented in the movie world they again, don't make sense. That is what Dan is addressing, from the perspective of the movie world as if it were not fictional.
***** By your logic any fictional work, whether it be book, TV show or movie is pointless. It may not be real but the problems in it are. They were created by real people. "How could they think that these mistakes were normal?" "How could they not notice that?" Just because it exists in a fake world, doesn't mean it cant entertain the real world. That IS why it was created in the first place.
Also people who are interested in movies and movie making, will find this knowledgeable and funny.
If you think it is pointless that is your opinion, but a lot of people (like me) find it entertaining and interesting. You shouldn't try to denote that.
Stop telling people what to do like im telling you what to do
+Matt Lamb why post then
Shut the fuck up it's not what "he does" it's how to take a comedy and make it something more than it needs to be.
+That Corbi Kid I agree 100% this is a classic! made by one of the kings of comedy John Hughes! why take an awesome movie that is almost 30 years old and make a big deal about the story line? it isn't real life it's just a f***** comedy! ppl today need to get real
About the reservation thing: there's some that believe that Ferris Bueller actually is the one who put in the reservation for the party of three Abe Froman just so to set up this whole situation for the excitement of his friends, and the whole situation was set up by Ferris to make it an exciting event for his friends to remember.
he is a mastermind
Are these numbers in 1986 dollars or 2014? Cause the movie came out in 1986 and prices have changed a lot in 28 years!
+Crowvamp1979 Good point
Wouldn't inflation count this thought moot?
+Crowvamp1979 I don't think it matters. It just makes it easier for us to understand if it's in today's money. Say a taxi ride like that cost $50 back then and the game $10. Say nowadays the game is $40. The taxi ride would be $200.
Good point
Yeah hand a $5 bill to a valet to take "good care" of your car these days. It'll come back with the stereo stolen and covered in piss like it was The Dude's car.
This was dumb, I expected better.
Cameron was clearly pretty rich, likely with a trust fund or something. I assumed he paid for everything.
All teenagers are sociopaths to a certain degree; that's a fact of biology.
The sunbathers were just a gag that they threw in, stop overthinking it.
The pool was a random neighbors yard they snuck into. None of them have bathing suits on.
Ferris wore the business suit because he wanted it under the trench coat. So what?
Rooney DID follow up on the kiss -- that's basically ALL he did for the entire movie.
It's perfectly reasonable that Sloan never met his dad. And if they did meet it would be unlikely that he'd remember her from the cab.
Everything else is just nonsense and not worth mentioning.
TJP77 Some of your points make sense like Cameron paying, as that is what I assumed too. However where you failed is you are talking about something entirely different to what Dan is. Dan is talking about the perspective from the movie world, where as you are looking at it like a movie from the real world. VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. From your logic nothing can be derived from the film as it is a fictional work.
Not all teenagers are sociopaths, that is a theory and that's not even what the theory is. The sunbathers dont make sense in the movie world. Why would Ferris bother to find a suit his size, take off his clothes, put on the suit, then take it off and put if clothes back on. All when you cant even see the suit from underneath the trench coat. And Rooney did not follow up on the kiss, he followed up on the Ferris's ditching school. Plus, at the end of the film Sloan and Ferris are planning to get married and are very much in love. The chances of her meeting his father are high.
Sorry for the length but your entire comment was a shamble of mislead 'facts' and opinions.
Turtle
+Elise Johnston Everything in the movie makes perfect sense. Part of comedy is that sometimes things are exaggerated. Its part of the fun. Taking a comedy seriously and picking it apart borders on insanity.
ahyaok100 But the majority of things Dan was addressing are things that were not considered a joke. They were movie mistakes. By your logic no movie can have mistakes as long as it is a comedy, because mistakes were funny.
+TJP77 Rooney followed up on the cheer Ferrs' girlfriend made when they drove off.
I assumed that one of the themes was that money isn't happiness. He never paid at the restaurant. He parked illegally. He snuck into the game.
justin the finski was a counterfeit
+Joel Newnham How much is a finski? (I'm english and have know idea)
+Cedes B I'm English too, but according to urbandictionary.com it's a $5 bill
Joel Newnham Oh, okay thanks!
+justin Money isn't happiness, but theft and general illegal activities are. >>>The moral of the story, folks.
Little something that got left in the final film: During the scene where Ferris' mother & sister are driving home from the police station, just before Jean slams on the brakes to avoid hitting Ferris--just as he darts in front of the car--his mother mentions how she would've made enough commission to buy Ferris a car from the sale she was making... if she hadn't been pulled-away.
So, if Ferris played by the rules... he would have got a brand-new car to end-out the school year with. Maybe not one as nice as the Ferrari California--belonging to Cameron's dad--but, judging by what-all is in the Bueller family driveway, a pretty nice one none-the-less. And certainly allot nicer one than what Cameron has gotten through his father.
Think about it.
Ferris grew up; gone to bussiness school, found a job in the Wall Street and changed his name to Patrick Bateman, cause it sounds more respectable. He still enjoys a fast lifestyle, lies his way out of troubles and talks to camera ;)
HIGHLY LIKELY!!!
He grewup became a mercenary because he is obviously a sociopath. Changed his name to Wade Wilson. Later he came down with cancer and was tricked into undergoing a procedure to unlock his mutation. Now he is known as Deadpool. He even did the exact same post credits for both of his movies.
The girls sunbathing are Canadian .
Lol shade bathing*
What makes me wonder is the effort Ferris must have put into preparing for this day. Remember the dummy in bed and the pulley system that moved it whenever someone opened the door to Ferris' room? Or the various messages recorded on the phone voicemail and on the house doorbell-thing? Think about all the time Ferris must have spend drilling holes into his walls to install those pulleys. Or the time he spent in the library reading up on electronic engineering in order to learn how to hack a door intercom (which btw, no suburban house has in real life) to have it play a series of specific recordings when the button is pushed at different times. It's said that Ferris has already missed a lot of days of school, so with the time, funds and effort he must have put into preparing this day off you have to wonder why he didn't just choose to go to the fucking museum on a Saturday.
Because he can!
or maybe it's a lighthearted fucking movie
themarquess just saying, my house has an intercom at the door, and throughout the house, but good point on the rest of that stuff
Absolutely on point. But there'd be no movie, tho. [wink]
Or, because, unlike the 9 other times he played hooky, he was actually sick that day and all those events took place in his head. Just like Daniel O'Brien pointed out.
List idear: 10 Black Characters who were clearly written by non-blacks.
Yes please
+lawrence morgal 'No offense' Jesus christ, man. I hope for your sake youre some white 13 year old who's never seen a black person before.
i said no offenCe, not offenSe and then you called me 'man' and then you called me 13 and then you called me white...I could be Asian or Latino or a Troll.......Odin's Thunder woman I hope for your sake your some black lesbian who has never fucked a man before.
Tommie Reid
Well that would be black peoples fault for not trying to be scriptwriters, authors etc
And no, white people are not trying to stop you...any publishing house, movie production company etc only really cares about money, ...will it sell... so the ball is in black peoples court....make it sell...black musicians ,singers , rappers do ...so quit bitching , it is black peopls fault.
lawrence morgal 'Odins Thunder' oh yeah youre definitely white. And if you dont think theres black writers, and if you dont think its harder for blacks in Hollywood youre delusional. BTW +1ing all of your own comments makes you look like a jackass
'Might' be a sociopath? Seriously? He's fucking nuts
I think the point the sister was trying to make the whole time is perfectly valid. Why does Ferris get away with shit and she doesn’t. In the end, she ends up having to give into his shit as well. I love the movie but that always pissed me off. And the parents are so unbelievably dumb it’s insane.
Ferris is a karma houdini.
I think there's something this theory is completely missing...if it's in Ferris' head why does it follow Jeanie and or Ed Rooney at points
yes buy that also brings the same
question about the theory if ferris is camrons imagination why do people know ferris if he is in camron's head
Idk, don't you ever pause and think about other people and what they may be doing? And plus if it's in his head the ridiculous scenarios those two get in would still fit with the overall theme.
@@tsitsim6523 why wouldn't they know him?
You can imagine other people in your dreams without u appearing
This movie did start with Ferris in the bed and it ended the way it started, IN THE BED. He coulda dreamed the whole day, he probably really was sick.
I was under the impression they never paid for the meal at the fancy restaurant and snuck into the game. That may solve the money problem, but adds +2 to Ferris being a sociopath. But who knows, maybe Ferris deserved a day off. Maybe he actually was sick, terminal even, and just didn't want to tell anyone. That could be an interesting spin on it.
Seriona1 that is literally the definition of a sociopath lol
He was talking about prices for all the stuff in the present day than how much it would have cost in 1986
If you pay attention to the clocks in the hallway in the school, when the school nurse is on her way to get Sloan out of class to tell her her Grandmother died, the clock said 1:00 p.m. Funny thing is that they had time to have Ferris pick her up, drive into downtown Chicago AND have lunch at noon. The reservation book has the "sausage king" seating for 3 at 12 noon.Ferris is a time traveler?
Clearly that is the real reason for driving the Ferrari backwards.
They go to the art museum, a parade, a baseball game, a swimming pool, and a fancy restaurant. And he still gets home before his parents do. In Chicago traffic. So, yeah, time traveler.
realistically, that was probably just a continuity error
Spiller alert:
Ferris is actuly Marty McFly and Cameron is actually Doc Brown!
This is boring but school clocks aren't always on time
To be fair with the whole pool thing kids have been known to just jump fences and use people's pools when they were not home. People were weird in the 80s.
80s kids were cool.
y'all fucking narcs never did this?
And the 60's, and the 70's...
This guy was the kinda kid in high school who would remind the teacher when they forgot to assign the Homework.
No, he would be the type of student to research independently the material presented by his teacher, which would mostly consist of myths most people believe to be true. He would tell his teacher that the sole cause of the Civil War was not slavery, and that Christopher Columbus did not discover America. Just think about the 7 hours per day you spent listening to boring, useless, false facts. Someone has to challenge this authority that is feeding us propaganda.
spinemelter2000 Who hurt you bro? Research a thing called Suspension of Disbelief
Then Lighten up.
spinemelter2000 im the type of kid to do that
***** lol i never heard that movie in my life. LOL Maybe i heard it from something that stole the quote from the movie and it was sitting in my subconscious.
Adriano agreed
"X Reasons [Piece of childhood media] is [synonym for scary]
you should hire me
You forgot the Secretly, Surprisingly or Shockingly.
Also why would they hire you if your only useful talent is coming up with title that they already have.
but i've already changed it see, i dropped the secretly part because i'm fucking efficient, i cut their word count by 15-20% or more per video, you know how much money that saves
I'm the goddamn Geico Lizard son
Meat But now the title doesn't fully describe the video. Some people may think the things were obvious and they are stupid for not getting them and then kill themselves. Now how do you feel, you have someone's life on your conscience.
3.14 reasons why Eyeron's post about cracked is mysteriously spooky
Meat remove the "why" also change the "is" to "are"
You failed to account for inflation. A one dollar item from 1986 when this movie was released would roughly cost twice as much today or $2.18 cents. So take your total figures and cut them in half. He didn't spend all that much. Plus his friend was kinda wealthy, maybe he paid for some of it? Or maybe Ferris had a job?? Or he received an allowance?
and it even said parking for an entire 24 hours, much less what they did, was only $9!
and it's not exactly like you should be comparing prices at the new Yankee Stadium to tickets to a Cubs game in 1986!
plus these were hardly poor kids, it was a nice suburb, nothing shocking here at all
Inflation is not the same as purchasing power, should you not be adjusting your figures based on a consumer price index?
There’s no way that a smooth operator and con artist like Ferris would have a job. He doesn’t need one. He gets by on his scams and charm.
I heard that Ferris cashed in his own savings bonds but I like the idea of Ferris stealing his father's.
His father wouldn't have savings bonds. Chances are the bonds in the shoebox belonged to Jean and Ferris.
I think it was a film about the garage attendant day dreaming about driving a Ferrari, with a complicated back story.
I thought I was the only one that felt like Cam and Sloan had chemistry!
I thought they would kiss or something! IDK
Sloan went backs to Cams for some sucky sucky
Honestly me too. Cam was so much better for her.
no stop don't sloan would eat him alive- it wouldn't be an equal relationship.
Ferris Bueller has a cousin, with a similar personality of being a "cool-guy" sociopath. His name is Zack Morris. You may have seen him on the late 80's/early 90's sitcom, Saved By the Bell.
Ferris bueller is the type of guy to encourage his friends to be out going or convince his friend to ask a girl out if they're nervous.
Bueller represents confidence that not everybody has.
Ferris thinks but doesn't over think. He has confidence if his plans work and if they don't work he has a back up plan.
He is the life of the party. People dig him. He's charismatic.
Not everybody has confidence to be out going. Some adults who were once out going are now stagnated and became content with being bored.
Ferris lives by the motto '' you only live once ".
YOLO - so we don't have to?
to be fair the peole who do that kind of stuff are the most annoying fuckers on the face of this planet
mike freeman Ferris is a righteous dude.
seven seveen the most annoying people are guys who complain about being single yet shy away when they have an opportunity to get to know a girl.
suckmyassloser I wish I could like this comment more than once😂
the principle in this movie was a registered sex offender, which is sorta creepy when he's sneaking around ferris' house
True
+Suzi Williamson was? If you mean at the time time this was filmed, he wasn't. He IS now, thought.
+Suzi Williamson "Research" works when you are a guitar god.
+LicoriceLain Like the time he got caught was the first and only time.......
Well he would certainly have to register as a sex offender after what he did to the girl in the pizza joint he thought was Ferris, when he said "your ass is mine".
I REALLY believe in the theory that Ferris is Cameron's alter ego like in Fight Club.
Otherwise, Ferris could really be a sociopth because he is cold and he never change, even for a second. He is all about fun and he lies like crazy. If he were real, he would be not only a fucking jerk, but also a creepy sociopath capable of everything to have fun.
But as i said, i believe in the "Ferris club" theory.
+Ley GouldGrant I think the guy who took the car out of the parking garage dreamed the whole thing. He was the only real guy. Did you see the look on his face when him and his friend did that awesome jump in the car and were flying in the air? There's no way that could happen for real. It was part of his dream.
Everyone at school new ferris...yiur dumb and wrong.....he is a robot zombie born from lincoln and jesus in 1972.
I would like to see that
Holy crap, that's totally Inspector Gadget waiting by the car for Ferris' girlfriend!
A few answers:
- Ferris and Cameron both had well-to-do parents who gave them generous allowances; also Ferries probably runs a few light scams at school, resulting in more cash - not enough to get a brand new car (that he expects to eventually receive once his Mom sells a bit house, so he's holding out for that instead of spending his dough on a used one).
- They are swimming in the pool at Sloane's house; she wore the negligee to look sexy.
- When Rooney saw Sloane kissing whom he thought was her father, he fell for it because he's an idiot.
- Ferries does care about others, but he's still a bit immature and selfish.
- The sunbathing girls probably started sunbathing when the sun was directly on them, and then decided just to hang out a while longer; they were probably about to go inside since it was getting cooler.
- Ferris probably decided the trenchcoat worked better than his initial choice of wearing just the suit.
- Ferris probably thought there was a decent chance of the *real* sausage king of Chicago not showing up for his reservation, and had he shown up, Ferris & gang would have simply bolted.
- In the shower scene, he's not trying to cover up his face, which he knows we've already seen; he's trying to put his hand over the camera.
Great comment!
I wonder what happened to Cameron after he smashed up his dad's car? Fack!!!
His balls got a little bigger, Not like the Grinch's heart, but still.
Did he cover his face and wash his nutsack in the shower?
He decided to take a bus from now on which happens to be bugged by a mad bomber and saved by cop who is partnered with a guy named Harry off of Dumb and Dumber
See my earlier comment. I've got a good idea (if I do say so myself)
One thing they never explained in the movie. How was there a major parade going on in the city during a weekday, when all the kids are at school and people would be at work?
An Oktoberfest parade in the spring too.
MegaMoose1989 Oh yeah, that's right. Good one.
Chicago is also a pretty populated city, that may explain a little.
I don’t know, but that parade was real.
@@Slopmaster I googled it, the parade is Von Steuben Day is a holiday traditionally held on a weekend in mid-September (von Steuben was born September 17), they put their movie float prop into a real parade and filmed it. But the real parade is held in Sept. on a Saturday
God damnit Daniel. Sociopaths like me have no emotions but do have moral compasses.
+Kawaii Faggot Oh yeah no he definitely is. Not to mention he is completely wrong as to what a sociopath is. Sociopaths definitely have emotions, but lack empathy. This kid if just being cringy.
+Kawaii Faggot My thinking is this: if you were a sociopath, would you go around telling people that? "Hey! I'm an actively harmful member of society, everyone! And I'm likely to just use you for my own benefit! Just keep that in mind when conversing with me!" Most actual sociopaths are too smart to go around and let everyone know not to trust them. It defeats the whole point of being a sociopath
Therefor, this kid is hyper-cringe.
+BeAnBeAn22 no, it actually is.
***** Not by that name, no. It's classified as Anti-Social Personality Disorder
God, he's so critical its irritating. ITS A MOVIE!
***** yeah its a movie thats why I'm saying he's to critical
also..why are you watching this then?
agreed: cameron and sloan totally ended up together
We all know a Ferris. I met a guy in high school that could charm any woman, could get out of anything, very good with technology and only wanted to have fun. Has elephant balls. He gets checked every once in a while as does Ferris. I was more like Cameron, we had many good times. He only hung out with fringe type people like myself.
I knew a kid like that in high school, too, was a good friend usually, but I also think he was a tad bit sociopathic at times. Or, as we used to say before we head that fancy word, a "dick".
Here's another thing that doesn't make sense: During the parade scene we suddenly have this large group of black people come out and do a really bad choreographed dance as if they're part of a musical. WHY!!!!??? I can honestly say those clips are some of the dumbest I've ever seen in my life.
Also when Ferris apologizes to Cameron for getting upset: "I didn't mean to lose my temper. I'm sorry" One of the fakest apologizes I've ever heard.
savagenature1 Little known fact: that was an ACTUAL parade in downtown Chicago that the film crew snuck into. And the people you see dancing aren't even a part of the movie. The ones dancing the choreographed routine may have been, but the rest weren't.
Secretly terrifying? I thought it was terrifying on purpose.
yes me too
+Brian Cole COOL!
My opinion on this movie: they all exist and Cameron is the protagonist. Ferris is a rather spoiled kid with two rich parents and easily could have saved up the money. i digress. Cameron is the protagonist because he experiences growth with Ferris as a static foil. Obviously we aren't meant to over analyze every last thing about it. That's like breaking down the National Lampoon movies. They're overdone to emphasize a point and be funny. Cameron at the beginning of the movie is walked all over by Ferris who is trying to prod him into growing a backbone and is genuinely concerned about his friend's future. By the end he is ready to stand up to his abusive father and take whatever heat he gets for destroying a car that his father loved more than his family. It's a good ending. I'm sure his father didn't learn anything and Cameron was probably disowned and lived with Ferris until college. But Cameron learned alot and overcame a major handicap in his life.
The sunbathers were both blonds, hence the positions of the lawn chairs makes sense.
About the Cubs tickets, when this film came out, bleacher seats were still about $5, and the seats that Ferris and gang are in were probably about $12-$15, maybe a bit more. It wasn't until the late 90s that Cubby tickets became insanely priced.
If you don't put down a beach towel on a plastic lounger, you stick to it. It's unpleasant. Also if there is a slight breeze, the towel keeps your back warm. You don't need a pool or the beach to enjoy the benefits of a beach towel.
Plus I've seen plenty of people wear less clothing than me when I'm cold. I know people who wear T shirt, shorts and flip flops in the winter, granted it's never snowing near me, but it's still cold enough that I'd be wearing 4 layers over my torso. People friggin swim in icy rivers, for fucks sake.
But anyways if I was sprinting, I'd not take off my jacket and wrap it around my waist or whatever... I am running! Me being slightly uncomfortable enforces the idea that I don't have time for comfort!
what about the shade-bathing, how do you explain that
zmunk I'm too dark for tanning. So it's always peaked my curiosity. I've observed some people seem so relaxed by it that , if the previously sunny spot becomes shadded, they stay there in a contented relaxed state. Almost like a sunbathing afterglow. Weird stuff. But if it's not even somewhat true then why do people get addicted to tanning?
interesting
lol @ the part where he talks about the phone call ferris makes to his dad
literally all kids who fake sick do that if their parents call them? Put on an act, and then focus on something else after you hang up. You're not gonna be hanging onto the fact you exchanged "love you"'s to each other?
+ItsJenniBear It wasn't until I read this that I remembered my mother finding me tipsy outside a book store aged 15 and telling her my drunk vomiting friend was lying down because she was very very ill and maybe Mum should stop drawing attention to it. And I was the most awkward strait laced child around. I think the lesson here is that if Dan O'Brien never managed to successfully lie to his folks at a potentially life changing moment, then .. damn. He got to adulthood without lying at a potentially bonding moment, which is either impressive or upsetting, depending on whatever his current relationship is with his family.
@@bobbiwib bruh what
Being able to fake human interaction makes him a psychopath, not a sociopath.
+Josh Lake Other way around, sociopaths are the ones who fake emotions since they can't feel them, psychopaths feel emotions but don't feel them like we do and tend to have impulse control problems.
+Josh Lake Professionally they are the same definition and completely interchangeable. Though outside of professional definitions psychopath usually denotes more criminality and violence than the other.

Ohad Rubin I fully support this and will budget it on the grounds that sponge bob squarepants is a 21st century sex icon and this is one of the few pieces of media that acknowledges that fact.
There's no "might" about it, Ferris is a massive sociopath.
I love the movie, but there's no denying this.
I deny this
It's videos like this that make this channel so fantastic
He wore the suit because he didn't think the principal would be out there. He put the suit on before the phone call, and then Cameron told the principal to come outside. Ferris put the coat, hat, and glasses on so he wouldn't be recognized.
They're not all the mayor, they're all honored guests. Don't say they're giving them away, the people in the front row have them.
He's not trying to block his face, he's trying to block the camera.
This week on: I may be a sociopath...
Ferris could be a high functioning sociopath. I mean, Ferris:
-is very charming
-is manipulative
-is selfish
-is really witty
-is impulsive
-has no empathy
-has no fear or concern for consequences
-is a pathological liar
-is a narcissist/has a grandiose sense of self
-has a need for stimulation
-is clearly a delinquent
-is irresponsible
-lacks any realistic plan for the future
-has a nack for criminal behavior (likely a thief, definitely a fraud, and a trespasser, amongst other things)
-is promiscuous? (Scene with the girls sunbathing and he introduces himself? Being flirtatious doesn’t mean promiscuous, but it’s a family movie so we wouldn’t know the answer to this, but it isn’t out of the question.)
The only evidence I would see to support him not being a sociopath is when he offers to take the blame for Cameron’s dads car. This is the first time he shows any kind of guilt or empathy. Now, it could be genuine guilt. Or, it could just be that he’s not afraid of what Cameron’s dad will do to him and he doesn’t want to lose Cameron’s friendship because while sociopaths don’t have empathy, they can form attachments to people and not want to lose people, even if they don’t necessarily care about their well being. Idk, that one part does throw me, however other sociopaths and psychopaths have done weirdly selfless things that still confuse psychologists to this day, like psychopath Peter Kurten (don’t look him up, he was the vampire of Düsseldorf and that is all you want or need to know about what he did). Peter did some horrible, awful, sadistic, disgusting things, yet when he knew he was about to get caught he went to his wife, admitted to his many vicious crimes, and told her to report him to the police so that she could have redemption and not go through history known as the wife of the vampire. Very weird thing to do for someone with no feelings, empathy, or emotion of any kind, yet he did it. So, yah, one instance of wanting to take the blame for his friend doesn’t rule out sociopathy completely, but whatever y’all want to think.
So, with the exception of the charming and witty bits, he's just like our President.
this guy sounds like he's jealous of ferris and his day
Right!?
I mean yeah I'd be too
‘It was all in their head’ - internet fan theory about every film, book, tv show or piece of interpretive dance ever conceived
Is this serious? It's a film, suspend your disbelief, enjoy it. Ferris would laugh his arse off at the very notion of a quasi intellectual breakdown of the content. Get a life, it moves pretty quick. You are missing it.
Wiil Kenny Ferris isn't real
Fun fact: Matthew Broderick actually killed two women while drunk-driving in Ireland and has never faced any retribution for this crime.
It was Ireland. They are known for their drinking. You think they charge drunk drivers with manslaughter?
It was Ireland. They are known for their drinking. You think they charge drunk drivers with manslaughter?
His tox screens we're clean. He wasn't under the influence lol
This makes me think Cinema Sins should do their take on this movie
I believe when Ferris' father is leaving the restaurant with his work buddies, he calls one of them "Abe".
So it's possible that Froman, party of three included Ferris' father, in which case they should've been supes busted.
Another well intended deviation from reality.
Actually, in the CC his name is Dave.
I think the guy in the vid is the one who's terrifying. He talks like having consumed 5 liters of coffee plus a very fat line of coke.
I hope that during the past month you learned that it's just a character.
I know this is an old video, but I was watching this movie the other day, and realized how much of a selfish asshole Ferris really was. Just the extent he will go, using his vulnerable friend in the process, and showing zero respect or concern for anyone but himself. Why do I want him to have a good day? I want him to get caught. God, I'm getting old.
One of those sunbathers runs a little gift shop in my old neighborhood in Des Plaines, IL... at least she did as of the late 90s.
Des Plaines is also where the high school from The Breakfast Club is. It's an office building now.
Honestly, I hate the character Ferris Bueller.
It's just a movie calm down lol ;-P
@@Lindathemightywitch
Stop with that.
Daniel O'Brien.... It's what happens when medicated ADHD kids grow up.
explain?
+Michael Haring nah my ex was one and he can barely read let alone put together an amusing script. Give Daniel a break.
Daniel is adorable. Be nice to him.
Daniel reminds me of myself and I have Aspergers, so it's more likely that. Although I was medicated for ADHD before getting properly diagnosed.
We do drugs
THIS JUST IN. FERRIS BUELLER WAS A COMEDY MOVIE, TAKING ANYTHING DEPICTED IN THE MOVIE SERIOUSLY IS NOT ADVISED.
+Benjamin Alfveby LOUD NOISES!
Didn't some 'charity workers' in his school collect money for him to get better? They even ask his sister and she looks sternly at the guy collecting money for Ferris and the guy says, 'one day you might need help from Ferris!' Or something like that.
Hooray for cynics like her. Really.
TheScribe What happened to all the money they raised?
David Foust
Probably went to fix the Ferrari.
I just died alittle inside. I mean what could you possibly gain out of ruining this awesome movie. So thx I will mever be able to enjoy this film again.
I hope your proud...
you're*
Geeks are gonna have to read into what they can & it's fascinating.
Didnt ferris have a different outfit on in each scene before he finally went to pick up sloane?
spongebob squarepants is based off the 7 deadly sins.
What's sponge bob?
Nikki TP Lust.
When idiots don't bother to do their research they get this movie and comments saying Ferris is a "drug dealer".
There was a deleted scene explaining that Ferris took money from his dad's safe and blew it on all stuff they did that day.
They took it out because they felt the action was uncharacteristic of Ferris. But it's still explained how he paid for all that stuff.
life moves pretty fast and if you don't take a look around it will pass you by. also the day was for cameron. you missed the whole point of the movie.
To the point sir.
Ferris is too cool to take off his jacket, no matter how warm it is. Chicks dig those jackets.
whoever writes the names for cracked's videos should get fired. almost every single one contains the words horrifying or terrifying. find a thesaurus
I always thought Ferris was a drug dealer. Charlie Sheen knew him
who's saying Ferris isn't charging for all those favors he's doing for the kids in school? you had the clip with the kid saying Ferris is getting him out of summer school.
Don't really give a shit. I fucking love this movie.
Every Cracked article title: X reasons y is adjectively z
dude, got me with the fly, no doubts about it!;D
Cough, cough Deadpool...
Make a part 2 for this video!
Holy fuck, this episode was Hilarious but the best line of it "how sponge bob square pants directly mirrors Dante's Inferno" "there's no way im going to be able to prove that" just made me friggen die! might be because its 2:37am but still super hilarious Dan is always funny!
I like how everyone misses the point of OPCD
Amazing how after all these years this film still gets so much conversation started. I wonder if Hughes actually meant for there to be all this subtext going on or if he just accidentally created a film that would not only be a hit comedy but also a much deeper mind bender. Compare this with Breakfast Club, for example, also an iconic 80s film about teenagers, gives you a lot to think about, but nobody seems to think that it has any hidden story underneath it all.
You would be great at CinemaSins
All humans can be used skeptically or be used by psychopaths.
why is this guys so jealous of Ferris?
Next Cracked video - Why Every Character Ever Written is Secretly A Racist Terrorist...And Also Hates Women
No! I wanna know all about how Sloane and Cameron should have ended up together!
"...join us next time when our topic will be why sponge bob square pants perfectly mirrors dante's inferno."
LMFAO! that was almost as good as the entire episode
I think you're overthinking this
That's the entire point.
ikr. Like no teenager ever faked having a "moment" with a parent to get away with something. That means they're sociopaths.
Cracked is kind of Cracked.
It's a moment, not faking a normal interaction, ya psycho.
