Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Difference between revisions

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: When Rooney finally nails Ferris at the end, it's {{spoiler|Jeannie}} of all people who bails him out.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Cameron undergoes one when, after thinking that maybe things won't go so bad after all, and maybe he's just being a worry wart, he notices the "slightly" increased mileage on the odometer on his dad's car, and proceeds to go catatonic.

* [[High School Hustler]]: Ferris, naturally.

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The entire film is one for Rooney.

*** Though perhaps they were just as insulted at being slipped a mere "fin" as the maitre d' was.

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Only for Ferris, anyway. Sloane doesn't even notice that he's talking to the audience.

* [[Obviously Evil]]: The parking attendant who took Cameron's car for a joyride.

{{quote| ''Please, I'm a professional.''}}

* [[Scream Discretion Shot]]: Combined with a [[Skyward Scream]] to intensify Cameron's reaction to the high mileage count on his father's car.

* [[Selective Enforcement]]: Jeannie is a victim of this from her and Ferris' parents, who seem completely oblivious to Ferris' antics.

* [[Shave and A Haircut]]: A florist truck continually blows its horn at Rooney, trying to get him to move out of Ferris' driveway. The flower deliveryman playfully honks the first five notes of "[[Shave and A Haircut]]", and Rooney [[Flipping the Bird|gives the driver the finger]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|in time to the last two notes.]]

** Ferris has a Cabaret Voltaire poster in his room

* [[Sleeping Dummy]]: Ferris uses a ''very'' elaborate version of this.

** And more famously with Ferris leaping over obstacles in his last dash home.

* [[Society Marches On]]: A school administrator sees one of his students sucking face with someone he believes to be ''her own father'', and dismisses it as unimportant?
