@@DanJackson1977 I don't think he's a bad friend. He was really trying to give Cameron a good day knowing they're coming to the end of their time together before they leave for college, and maybe forever. He knows what Cameron's life is like. He was honestly trying to help and wasn't going to take No for an answer. Ferris does have tunnel vision, though. haha
He wasn't a bad friend, just self centered. Cameron was basically suicidal and this outing gave him a backbone to face his problems (by sacrificing a poor innocent vintage car), and it was implied ferris knew how to save him all along. I figured with ferris luck, charisma, popularity, confidence and deviousness if we came across him in 30 years he'd be either homeless bum who peaked as a teen or president. Hes too extreme. He'd either tank horribly or rise to the top of everyone. No in between. Cameron in 30 years...a therapist.
Her first role was actually earlier that year in Pretty in Pink. Technically she may have filmed her role in Ferris before that though since her scene in Pretty in Pink was the reshot ending after test audiences hated Duckie originally winding up with Andie.
I can’t get enough of the high school secretary! The more times I watch it the funnier she gets (shall I get you his day number?). And the way they styled her - soft with cute little bangs - she reminds me of a bunny rabbit lol.
The Eightes was the multi-plex, mom-n-pop small screen theater and home VHS era. These movies were perfect for that time. Worth watching multiple times in all three formats.
Ferris was only trying to help Cameron. He had a toxic way of doing it but he knew Cameron would never do it for himself. in the long run he was a good friend.
"They think he's a righteous dude." "Gummy bear? They've been in my pocket, they're real warm and soft." This is such a great film, a true classic. Loved the vid!
Yay!! My favorite TH-cam reactor watching one of my favorite movies. This is gonna be epic. I’m playing the drinking game for this one. Every time he says “Shut the fu€k up!” I’m raising the glass then taking a drink. I’ll probably be hammered by the time it’s over.
I don't think Cameron's dad was physically abusive, just neglectful as hell. As if his son didn't exist. I think it ended on a happy note because Cameron was finally seizing his own destiny rather than being a passenger with depression in the driver seat. Great reaction J! ♥
@@stanmann356 My parents were both so I usually have a pretty good handle on it. I think Cameron would almost have rather been hit than ignored anymore. Always happy for him at the end, despite the looming unresolved conflict.
Agreed. He didn't seem afraid of physical abuse. Like his own "illness", it's an extension of what he's experiencing with his parents, and more specifically, his father -- emotional neglect and mental suffering from the neglect. As we note, Ferris and Jeannie are extremely lucky to have amazing parents who are not only still in love with one another, but make sure they're There for their kids by being Home at the end of the day. Slone also seems to be the product of a good Home. Charlie Sheen's character...er...not so much. haha. I think Cameron will be okay after that
He loved the car not him. Spent so much time restoring it. He could done both, have the kid help him restore it and teach him his love of cars. So yeah probably neglect.
I'm surprised that you didn't recognize Edie McClurg, the secretary, from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. She was the gobble gobble lady that Steve Martin kept dropping the F bomb in front of.
Kristy Swnason was originally supposed to be the girl on the HS payphone with Ferris. My friend and classmate Kristin Graziano ended up with that part because the shooting schedule was changed...Swanson's "Simone" role was added and written for her, since she lost the telephone scene. Most of the Chicago scenes were filmed in my neighborhood.
Because of this movie as a 16 yr old I took one of my dads voided checks to class to the overhead projector early one morning to trace his signature and made a dentist note. Drove around town, went to the mall, etc.. My first but not last skip day.
Mark Smith: Well, I can't pretend like I did it because of this movie, but yeah, ditching school once in a while can be cathartic. I should know. I did it. A Lot. Too much maybe. haha
Those are the memories that stay with you. Everyone says you’ll never regret focusing on school and being risk free, but within reason, you have to make memories in your life. Nothing too crazy so you flunk out of school or get yourself killed, but a little frivolity is good for the soul. I regret being so afraid of my abusive father that I was always the first one in class and sat in the front row, because I knew he would ask the teacher (when I was in high school) where I sat. If he heard I sat in the back row with the kids who actually accepted my crippled, 4 eyed ass, there was a “spanking” coming, along with other punishment. He would brag to other parents about how “compliant” I was. As it turned out, I had a breakdown at the end of grade 12 and ended up on academic probation my first year old university because I’d get in my car like I was going to class and just drive all day long. Alone. I wish I had balls like Ferris. I’d probably be dead now, but it would have been at least mildly fun.
@@christhornycroft3686 It's terrible when parents can't understand how difficult they make things for their kids. I sincerely hope you are doing much better now and that you're able to make a great life for yourself. I wish you well
It's so funny how watching this as an adult gives a different reaction than when you're a teen. Saw this in the theater and all of us cheered when Ferris took the Ferrari. And I have lived my entire adult life under the philosophy of "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." I'm not rich, but have enjoyed all of my various "days off."
THANK YOU!!!! You are the first reactor I’ve seen catch the fact that his sister is ditching school all day while pissed off because Ferris is ditching school.
Timeless. Can't tell you how many times that I have watched this movie and love it every time. A movie that matches it for humor and entertainment is Adventures In Babysitting.
Watched this in 1987 with family. I was 10 years old. Such a wonderful memory! My uncle LOVED the guys in the garage who stole the car! I remember laughing so hard when Mr. Rooney kept getting his foot stuck in the mud! Thanks for watching this one! And just another friendly reminder to consider watching the 1980 Oscar winner, Ordinary People. You won't regret it!
24:31 J dancing along to the "Twist and Shout" scene is the best thing that's ever been done in a reaction video. I first saw Ferris Bueller in '86 in Lincoln, Nebraska. I was with a group of friends, about 12 of us altogether. When "Twist and Shout" stated, we were literally dancing in the aisles.
My sister almost didn't graduate because of P.E. too. The school had a point system, where you could run off your points; 6 minutes for 1 point. My parents told her that she'd have to do whatever it takes to walk at graduation. My mom literally told her that she did not care if she had to commit a crime, she was going to graduate. My sister ran for 9 hours, right up until 45 minutes before graduation.
I slept all the way thru 10th grade and didn't do shit really 11th or 12 either. Graduated. Had teachers that didn't teach, couldn't teach, just babysat students. As long as you didn't bother some, you got a C. Even didn't show up for 12th grade classes at all and drove off lots. If all the students do the same, they pass you because they have to have enough people graduate to get their money as well.
Edie McClurg, who plays Grace the secretary, actually popped in to Family Guy doing a cameo OF Grace's and her "righteous dude" dialogue, you can see it in the episode is called "Holy Bibble."
idk why but one of my favorite moments in this movie is when rooney had his head in the dog door and the dog starts panting and rooney tries doing the friendly pant and the camera cuts back to the dog who switches suddenly into attack-stare. like he's saying "yeah, no. I will kill you right now." the pacing of the scene and the acting of the dog are just *perfect*
Not only did Cameron let Ferris take the car to pick Sloan up, but then they go from there, in the suburbs, to downtown Chicago, that’s over 60 miles there and back. By the time they were done running around, they’re probably looking at 70+ miles more on that car.
Our high school in the Chi threatened us with 3 weeks summer school if we cut & went to the Cubs opener. We also couldn't come to graduation, we'd get our diplomas in the mail. This was.a huge deal, every opening day for 3 years the joint was half empty. A friend & I faked a fight the day before the opener & got a automatic 4 day suspension. Got to meet Ernie Banks at the game.
Just went to the Art Institute this week and when I got to the Seurat painting, someone was talking about Ferris Bueller. It was me. I was talking about Ferris Bueller.
Totally awesome reaction! Bonus Respect Points for spotting the OG Buffy 👍 Gas would've been around $.85/gallon then, so probably about $25 bucks to fill the tank of that Ferrari. I had the 12" single of "Oh Yeah" by Yello. I recorded it onto a cassette tape so I could play it in my car. I felt so cool 😎 Edie McClurg (the secretary) also plays a character named Chastity Pariah in _Elvira, Mistress of the Dark._ It's grade DD 80's camp.
I like the way that EOM picked up on Ferris "breaking the fourth wall" and how he started looking out at us during his reaction with those same amused Ferris expressions.
Fun fact: the school Ferris and his friends go to in the movie is the same school where the Breakfast Club takes places as well. The movies share the same school
This is interesting: You released this on the (don’t know exactly how many year) anniversary of the Cubs game that they went to. Cubs announcers even talked about it on air in today’s game.
Congrats on 35K guys! Just think, you have so many subscribers that you wouldn't be able to fit us all in Fenway Park if you sold out the stadium! Pretty crazy. Can't wait to see you hit 50, 100, 250K, and 1M because you are the best reactor on TH-cam hands down. Keep that grind up man, much love to you and the fam!
Brian Vetter: I'll by that. The more I watch this movie, the more I think I like Cameron's whole character arc. I dunno. Maybe when we're really young, we associate ourselves with Ferris because he's everything we want to be and so we project ourselves onto his character. But, as we move through the world as adults, we really start to see Cameron and begin to view him as closer to who we actually are. It's kinda like that line in the movie JFK, with Nixon talking about how the public saw Kennedy versus how they saw him. Something like -- When they look at him (JFK), the people see who they want to be. When they look at me, they see who they are. Only not as dramatic for This movie. haha
if we missed a class during the day in the early 90's, we would get an automated "skip call" recording at our house and it was very important that it was intercepted so the parents wouldn't find out lol
I had an Aunt Grace when I was younger. Man, the terror I'd put that woman through whenever I'd yell Graaaace at her like Principal Rooney does lol. Would make my Uncle piss his pants laughing.
You look like you were having fun watching this. I remember seeing this in the theaters back in the day and having a great time. Your commentary was hilarious. Thanks for reacting!
I had a friend who almost didn’t graduate from college because of PE. The funny thing was he went to college on a football scholarship and was assistant coach for the high school that was associated with the college. He coached football and basketball for them instead of taking PE and they were going to hold him back for not taking the class. When I was growing up if you were sick enough to stay home you stayed in bed with no tv just books if you could read. Also if you stayed home you maybe got to go out to the sofa after school. It worked pretty good for all of us except my brother who was very happy staying home and reading.
Not sure if you planned it or it's just coincidence, but based upon the baseball game they attended the movie takes place on June 5th. Also, I am pretty sure this is the first movie to have a post-credit scene.
Not sure of you saw Howard the Duck but Principal Rooney was in that too. Along with the wonderful Lea Thomson. Absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it already. Also, congrats on the 35k subscribers! You will no doubt continue to grow and I'll always promote your channel when I can. 🤟
Yes, that was Buffy. And you recognized Ben Stein too. But did you recognize the lead from Dirty Dancing? In the TV series Ferris Bueller's Day Off, his sister was played by Jennifer Aniston before her nose job. I'm SOOOO glad you watched till the post-credits! But sorry you didn't include the "righteous dude" scene.
This is a great movie. I always liked it. The credits system in high school is a scam. They held me back in the 11th grade because I didn't have enough credits because I dropped an auto technician program that I realized I wasn't cut out for and it wouldn't have been fair for me to stay in it when anyone else would've been kicked out. I turned 18 during August of that year so I decided to drop out. I always hated school and that was just the final nail in that coffin. They already held me back in the first grade and I just couldn't go through that again. Realistically you aren't going to remember anything they teach in school beyond the basics and some random obscure knowledge that you'll probably never make use of and I already learned all that I needed. I stick by that decision 14 years later. School was a prison and I've been free ever since.
i think what they are trying to say with Cam's story arc is that he's spent his life so far in his father's shadow, terrified to stand on his own feet. so this is his coming of age moment where he's going to accept the consequences of having made a mistake rather than cower and hide from life for the fear of making mistakes at all. it's not the clearest message in film but they had to find something because a life lesson was not going to come out of Ferris's character. it had to be Jeannie and Cam.
I love dogs so much, my daughter saves animals and works in animal shelters and helps pay for people who can't afford to care for their animals. My mom has 2 pitbulls and a very tiny dog and I have a dog my whole family have dogs.
That painting Cameron is in front of is my favorite painting in the whole world. A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat.
I loved watching J react to the torture to Ed Rooney as it progressed through the movie and his dancing during Twist & Shout. I've said this before that after the Ferrari is trashed that Cameron had the look of someone who knows Death approaches and is welcoming him like an old friend. Excellent reaction and editing though it would've been excellent to keep in Cameron's scream through the city. God bless you guys with excellence!!
Your facial expression when the car went out the window was what I was waiting to see the whole movie. And you did not disappoint! And when you are finally able to say something, your comment crack me up. "Oh, thanks for playing. Because that's yo assss Mr. Postman". Had to stop watching because I was laughing so hard.
They tried to hold me back like that too for typing/computer science lol My dad said "Hell no I can use you to work and that computer stuff is just a fad" lol
Watching this made me think of another movie for you to check out - they came out around the same time. Adventures in Babysitting. It's a great film and funny too.
Great reaction to a classic 1986 movie, Save Ferris! Another great 1986 movie is The Little Shop of Horrors, starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Steve Martin. I strongly recommend this one for the channel, hope you'll consider it!
Ferris Buller is basically what you get when you max out a character’s Luck and Charisma.
It's also what you get when you look up "shitty friend" in Urban Dictionary.

That absolutely IS the original Buffy, Kristy Swanson. Good eye, J. I think this was her first ever role in a film.
Her first role was actually earlier that year in Pretty in Pink. Technically she may have filmed her role in Ferris before that though since her scene in Pretty in Pink was the reshot ending after test audiences hated Duckie originally winding up with Andie.
She was also in Pretty in Pink. At the dance she eyeballs Duckie.❤
All she wanted to do was "graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater and die."
Oh the original Buffy! I was thinking he was crazy, didn't even think about Kristy Swanson.
I think she was also in Pretty in Pink (the girl that checks out Ducky) and Higher learning
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this the woman that plays the secretary kills me every time she's on screen 😂😂

And when he stares deadpan at the camera, you have to finish whatever is left in your glass.
Good idea. Let me run to the liquor store & when I get back I’ll watch again. 🍾

Fun fact: that trick of taking the miles off by driving it in reverse works on an '86 Camry. I found this out the night of winter formal.
24:31 J dancing along to the "Twist and Shout" scene is the best thing that's ever been done in a reaction video.
I first saw Ferris Bueller in '86 in Lincoln, Nebraska. I was with a group of friends, about 12 of us altogether. When "Twist and Shout" stated, we were literally dancing in the aisles.
I remember watching Ferris Beuller’s day off in English class for senior year for a project

I dunno. Maybe when we're really young, we associate ourselves with Ferris because he's everything we want to be and so we project ourselves onto his character.
But, as we move through the world as adults, we really start to see Cameron and begin to view him as closer to who we actually are.
It's kinda like that line in the movie JFK, with Nixon talking about how the public saw Kennedy versus how they saw him. Something like -- When they look at him (JFK), the people see who they want to be. When they look at me, they see who they are.
Only not as dramatic for This movie. haha
if we missed a class during the day in the early 90's, we would get an automated "skip call" recording at our house and it was very important that it was intercepted so the parents wouldn't find out lol
I had an Aunt Grace when I was younger. Man, the terror I'd put that woman through whenever I'd yell Graaaace at her like Principal Rooney does lol. Would make my Uncle piss his pants laughing.
You look like you were having fun watching this. I remember seeing this in the theaters back in the day and having a great time. Your commentary was hilarious. Thanks for reacting!
Omg. The hangover. That guy. I didn’t even know and I’ve seen this move 15 times. Haha.
I had a friend who almost didn’t graduate from college because of PE. The funny thing was he went to college on a football scholarship and was assistant coach for the high school that was associated with the college. He coached football and basketball for them instead of taking PE and they were going to hold him back for not taking the class. When I was growing up if you were sick enough to stay home you stayed in bed with no tv just books if you could read. Also if you stayed home you maybe got to go out to the sofa after school. It worked pretty good for all of us except my brother who was very happy staying home and reading.
Not sure if you planned it or it's just coincidence, but based upon the baseball game they attended the movie takes place on June 5th.
Also, I am pretty sure this is the first movie to have a post-credit scene.
Def wasn’t a coincidence. LoL
12:59 She played the nosey neighbor on the old sitcom Valerie's Family (later The Hogan Family) with Jason Bateman.
Ferris Bueller, such a classic. Classic classic classic movie. Just really nothing wrong with it. Good fun.
THIS movie is credited as the FIRST movie to promote an after credits scene.
Not sure of you saw Howard the Duck but Principal Rooney was in that too. Along with the wonderful Lea Thomson. Absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.
Also, congrats on the 35k subscribers! You will no doubt continue to grow and I'll always promote your channel when I can. 🤟
And Leah Thompson was in Some Kind of Wonderful. More 6 degrees of separation in Hollywood
You can tell Blank is elite at this by how much of the music he was able to keep in.
Classic gem of a film, so glad you got to do a react to this
JL - been awhile, good to see ya. That shirt is fantastic. Was only just now able to read the “Bob” and figure it out. Now I gotta look for one.
A little weird, but Ferris was in a relationship with the actor that played his sister is real life. Also I believe his parents really got married
Both things are true although both sets of couples later broke up.
Yes, that was Buffy. And you recognized Ben Stein too. But did you recognize the lead from Dirty Dancing?
In the TV series Ferris Bueller's Day Off, his sister was played by Jennifer Aniston before her nose job.
I'm SOOOO glad you watched till the post-credits! But sorry you didn't include the "righteous dude" scene.
I love your channel! That's the softest "Thanks for playing" you've ever said at 35:05. LMAO!!!!
This is a great movie. I always liked it.
The credits system in high school is a scam.
They held me back in the 11th grade because I didn't have enough credits because I dropped an auto technician program that I realized I wasn't cut out for and it wouldn't have been fair for me to stay in it when anyone else would've been kicked out.
I turned 18 during August of that year so I decided to drop out. I always hated school and that was just the final nail in that coffin. They already held me back in the first grade and I just couldn't go through that again.
Realistically you aren't going to remember anything they teach in school beyond the basics and some random obscure knowledge that you'll probably never make use of and I already learned all that I needed.
I stick by that decision 14 years later.
School was a prison and I've been free ever since.
35:04
“Thanks for playing.”
Perfect response!
😅😅😅😅
32:30 the reason it didn’t work is because back then those analog odometers were usually connected to the front wheels.
i think what they are trying to say with Cam's story arc is that he's spent his life so far in his father's shadow, terrified to stand on his own feet. so this is his coming of age moment where he's going to accept the consequences of having made a mistake rather than cower and hide from life for the fear of making mistakes at all. it's not the clearest message in film but they had to find something because a life lesson was not going to come out of Ferris's character. it had to be Jeannie and Cam.
I love dogs so much, my daughter saves animals and works in animal shelters and helps pay for people who can't afford to care for their animals. My mom has 2 pitbulls and a very tiny dog and I have a dog my whole family have dogs.
When you dropped the “that’s your ass Mr.postman” I lost it! Lol. Nice Friday reference…
That painting Cameron is in front of is my favorite painting in the whole world. A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat.
I loved watching J react to the torture to Ed Rooney as it progressed through the movie and his dancing during Twist & Shout. I've said this before that after the Ferrari is trashed that Cameron had the look of someone who knows Death approaches and is welcoming him like an old friend. Excellent reaction and editing though it would've been excellent to keep in Cameron's scream through the city. God bless you guys with excellence!!
I love we get a “shut up” in the first 30 seconds. It gets me ready for the reaction ! Can’t wait to see what is like Detroit. Here I go.
This was one of my favorite viewings. You killed it JL. I'm gonna add this to my own personal cocaine cabinet 😂
Cameron was in Speed with Keanu Reeves. He was the dorky guy on the bus.
YAAAAAAS!!! I’m so happy you are reacting to this movie! This came out the year I graduated high school.❤❤❤❤😊
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
@5:24 Hardly anyone notices that this bit in the movie was a callback to Matthew Broderick’s first major role in WarGames.
One movie that Matthew Broderick was in is my favorite Jim Cary movies “Cable Guy”
Your facial expression when the car went out the window was what I was waiting to see the whole movie. And you did not disappoint! And when you are finally able to say something, your comment crack me up. "Oh, thanks for playing. Because that's yo assss Mr. Postman". Had to stop watching because I was laughing so hard.
“He about to have you barking at the moon, girl!” OMG!! 😂😂
Thanks to this movie, i had a lot of "days off" in high school. I still managed an overall 3.37 GPA at graduation.
Deadpool got his talk to the audience game direct from this movie
They tried to hold me back like that too for typing/computer science lol My dad said "Hell no I can use you to work and that computer stuff is just a fad" lol
Watching this made me think of another movie for you to check out - they came out around the same time. Adventures in Babysitting. It's a great film and funny too.
If you could hack into your school's records back in 1986, that's not being born under a bad sign
"For PE." One of the funniest lines I've heard in my lifetime
I grew up with a Ferris Bueller poster on my wall. Great memories and good times.
Great reaction to a classic 1986 movie, Save Ferris! Another great 1986 movie is The Little Shop of Horrors, starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Steve Martin. I strongly recommend this one for the channel, hope you'll consider it!
"I would beat his ass back to the future." Best line ever! LOL
"Oh, thanks for playing because that's your ass, Mr. postman" hahahahahaha I am dying!!
