Ferris was a sociopath, has great time management skills, does what he wants, and people follow him. He's clearly going to be a top executive.

The scene where Cameron pretends to be Sloane's dad on the phone will never not make me laugh. Also, Fun Fact: This was one of the first movies that put in after credits scenes! However, with no internet, you had to hear about it from someone who discovered it, and that made everyone go and see it again to find out what they missed. A genius strategy.

"The only disease kissing Charlie Sheen can cure" is top tier writing

It’s funny to me that this is Matthew Broderick’s most iconic role but he has spent essentially his entire subsequent career playing characters the exact opposite of Ferris.

The realization that has become my head canon for this movie is that Ferris' primary motivation for ditching school was to give his best friend a really good day because he believe Cameron to be on the verge of being suicidal.

I've always loved that movie's tagline. Still relatable to this day lol "One man's struggle to take it easy"

I like when you guys do older films, cause it doesn't feel like you're just rushing to get the big hit movie out

3:10 "Sir, you have _much_ bigger fish to fry." This is my attitude toward Rooney pretty much the _whole movie._ _Hundreds_ of people (most of them, students) at that school with _hundreds_ of different sets of problems and he leaves the whole of them _unattended_ in the hope of tracking down _one_ of them. And he actually breaks a few _laws_ in the course of that.

I accidentally discovered this movie watching TV one morning while pretending to be sick to not go to school in 7th grade. It taught me that lying to parents is not only fine but is fun and absolutely necessary.

Finally, someone points out the unnatural level of abuse Cameron was subjected to….. by Ferris and his dad 😢

I had no idea that Alan Ruck was pushing 30 when playing the teenage Cameron. You have to feel sorry for Cameron the entire time, since he get pushed around by his dad and best friend, and we never find out what happens to him.

I saw this at the theater when it was first released. The entire audience stayed through the credits. After Ferris told us to leave and the screen went blank, everyone just sat there for at least 15 or 20 more seconds waiting for him to come on screen again.

I always wondered why Ferris' dad wouldn't recognise Sloane, his own son's girlfriend, in a pair of sunglasses. Surely he'd met her before?!

Finally, someone pointed out how psychopathic Ferris was. I felt bad for his best friend the entire time.

But hey, Cameron ended up getting a nice ambassadorial position later on! Joking aside, the moment that Cameron looks at the baby in the painting, the baby's silent yelling echoing Cameron's silent yelling and crying... let's say it was revealing. I will never stop thanking John Hughes for making this movie. It also helps that it captured the zeitgeist of a portion of a generation and did it brilliantly, with heart.

The idea that Cameron is made up by Ferris makes more sense. The only two people in the entire movie who acknowledge him are Ferris and Sloane, the only other times he talks to other characters is voice only which Ferris could just be doing, and his dad is never seen either. If Ferris is made up, then how does that explain his parents, sister, or literally everyone in the movie seeing him or talking about him. No one talks about Cameron

I maintain that Ferris was never the main character. It was everyone surrounding him, especially Cameron.

After all Cameron's life problems, he went on a road trip to L.A on a bus with a bomb on it😅

There was a time where I could recite this movie beginning to end, that's how often I'd watched it. What a timeless classic. Thanks for doing this one!

I remember when I saw the first Deadpool movie and that end credits scene, someone in the theater yelled “BUELLER!”

One of the best 80s teens movies and one of Matthew Broderick’s best performances.

It's implied that Cameron'll earn his dad's respect by the end of the movie cos he has more confidence and self-respect now, but no, there was a murder in that house when Cameron's dad got home.

I love watching this film back to back with War Games You have to get a little drunk and fall asleep during the changeover, and when you wake up it's like Ferris got moved in with a foster family and the story turns really dark

“The bad guy from “Howard the Duck.”” Is accurate! 😂

I always wondered about how there were apparently no Cs, Ds or Es in that class. Also, Ben Stein had been an economics teacher, and was cast based on his droning voice.

Mia Sara in this movie is EVERYTHING. 😍

Actually, aside from stealing the car and trashing it, Ferris' actions towards Cameron does have a purpose and positive effect. Ferris knew he was wound too tight, prone to panic, chronically depressed, and self isolated in the place where he's subject to abuse and neglect. In fact, the whole reason for skipping that day had been to give Cameron an adventure he would remember fondly for years.

In memory of Steve Harwell say "hey now you are AN ALL STAR!"

The theory that Ferris is a figment of Cameron's imagination reminds me of one of JD's daydreams from Scrubs: "Holy inferiority complex, Batman! How low is my self esteem that I'm the sidekick in my own fantasy?"

I wholeheartedly believe that with a good script, you could turn this and Home Alone into a horror movie. Think about it.

My high school teacher showed us this movie end of Junior year. He said it was so that when we do senior skip day our senior year we dont be basic and just go to the beach (were from florida). It inspired me to do something more, but ultimately everyone just went to the beach

In honor of Arleen Sorkin, the OG Harley Quinn, please say “A-OK, Mista J!”

If we're going to go down this road, isn't it time for Uncle Buck?

"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..."

So glad I wasn't the only one that knew what reference Ryan was making with that Deadpool end-credit scene.

Word of god: John Hughes said in 1999 that several of his "Shermer" movies (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles) *are all a part of the same universe.* According to Hughes, Samantha Baker *knows* Ferris.

In honor of Steve Harwell, please say "Only shooting stars break the mold."

In honor of Steve Harwell, say "Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed."

He's got the whole wide world in his hands 😔

Name distribution made perfect sense. Surnames of my HS cohort were mostly alphabetically conjoined by three or four consecutive letters until graduation. We only had electives with kids from the other surname groupings in the student body.

I did like that movie. It is kinda disturbing how that actor who played that teacher would get arrested for something so horrible.

I'm personally fond the theory that Cameron Fry is actually a pseudonym for Connor Roy and the overbearing dad he's so afraid of is really Logan Roy.

"Bloods...Like the gang???!!!", "Sir, you have much bigger fish to fry" 🤣🤣🤣

One of the GOAT movies.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and do a Hudson Hawk Honest Trailer once in a while (really just once), you could miss it...

No way in hell they get all of that stuff done in like 9 hours.

Eeyore in a hockey jersey is the best description I've heard of Cameron!

Missed this for Alan Ruck: Cameron was interested in politics from a young age

Mia Sara was one of the most sublimely beautiful women who ever existed. Still to this day she is lovely.

I always liked how Sloane was an amalgamation of how Aerith and Tifa looked in original FF7 art

2:38 Perfectly sums up Jameson in Spider Man: No Way Home! 😂👍

when Cameron was in Egypt's land.... LET MY CAMERON GO

I just realized how rich Ferries is. He has a computer and many gizmos

I just read a quote from John Hughes that said the reason Cameron stares at the little girls picture is because "the longer he stares the less he sees, there is nothing there. He fears the same of himself, the more people stare the less they'll see, there's nothing there."

Bro needs to do weird science

1:40 “Eeyore in a hockey jersey…” In the WRONG CITY’S hockey jersey. Since it’s Gordie, I’ll begrudgingly allow it.

one of the best honest trailers in a while.. bravo

YES!!! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long, long time since it’s my favorite movie of all time! Thank you SJ!

"I didn't hit you. I lightly slapped you." Well, that brings back memories.

OMG, THANK U HONEST TRAILER FOR BEING A PART OF MY LIFE, I've just used that famous quote from Ferris Bueler to finish a speech on Monday and now you've made an honest trailer about it, too good to be true, thank you ❤

It was nice to see a biopic of Senator Bueller's high school days.

Can you say" All that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold" for Steve Harwell? (RIP)

He’s a righteous dude!

Ferris is just a magical boy, that's all. He can restructure time to suit his needs. The galaxy is his to command.

I love when you guys do classic movies. More please!

Hey, while we’re on the subject of John Hughes, make the honest trailer to Planes Trains and Automobiles this Thanksgiving!

That's a great Charlie Sheen joke: "Two and a half ounces". Good one.

"Your third favorite Ska band." Seriously, that's an obscure reference I never thought I'd hear in an Honest Trailer.

That quote was funny. I'm in the hospital now. The flatbread pizza isn't too bad, but I really like the fruit cups.

Legally Blonde honest trailer please!

Niche 00s ska band references is why I love you guys. More KZfaq respect for Save Ferris!

One of my favourite movies of ALL TIME. Thanks for covering, was hilarious 😆

That Jeffrey Jones joke was savage! Would've been funnier if you didn't immediately explain it after though

This is definitely the kind of movie that you can't think too hard about. Just enjoy and empty your brain

Wow, this is a much darker movie than I remembered.

well, obviously he's not just a figment of cam's imagination if everyone knows about him (not to mention he interacted with so many people besides him)

Yes! Please go back and do all the eighties classics! (Oh man, first comment first time ever 😊)

Can we get an honest trailer for Mystery Men, the movie that ACTUALLY popularised All Star, for Steve Harwell?

It's insane that this guy would go on to have a "lot of fish".

He's got the whole world in his hands 🕊

Always wanted a next-day sequel to learn if Cameron survived his dad's wrath, or did Cameron end up killing his dad and throwing him down the ravine next to the car?

Getting older means you don’t side with the adults in this movie, but you do come to hate the so-called hero.

Ah, the Bob Barker sign off.❤ Thank you.

Ferris is the extrovert that Cameron, a introvert, needs to break our of his shell and stand up for himself.

Cool, finally doing some classics. Edit: let's hear it for classic cinema 🎥

Please say: You’re still here? It’s over. Go home.

This was the best video I've seen on this channel

One of my favourite movies!

Ferris Bueller was fun, but I would like to remind everyone that Connor Roy was interested in politics from a young age.

Do The Breakfast Club next lol

Say "It's ok, I'm a limo driver!"

favorite movie. thanks for this

It's amazing to me that when these movies came out, no one psychoanalyzed anything. So we all watched the movie at face value. Then, a new generation picks them up and psycho-analyzes the feces out it and then turns the mirror on the creators and then lambasts the original audience for watching and enjoying it. All that can be said for it was, "well, it was a different time." That said, it never occurred to me that Cameron normalized Ferris's abuse because his Father was abusive. Which then alters the ending for Cameron. How was Cameron going to stand up to his Father if he couldn't stand up to Ferris?

One of the most popular movies where the protagonist was secretly the villain

This was perfect😂

Thank you for adding "special delivery"!!

This movie is legendary I love it fucking quintessential 80s I miss Hughes at his creative heights

Watched this movie for the very first time a few months ago. Honestly, I felt genuinely bad for Cameron.

Love the Bray Wyatt shout out!

Epic voice, say "If had a dollar for every original idea Hollywood has had lately I would have 25 cents"
