Line 48:
* [[Dean Bitterman]]: Rooney.
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Ferris.
* [[Eek!
* [[The Eighties]]: One critic on the Internet Movie Database hails this film as a superb distillation of "the decade of grim optimism."
* [[Eighties Hair]]: And clothes, and music.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: [[Charlie Sheen]]'s [[One-Scene Wonder|One Scene]] at the police station. He nails Jeannie's problem in less than a minute, and is halfway towards nailing ''her'' when her mother shows up.
* [[Everything Is an Instrument]]: Ferris uses his sound synthesizer, which had coughing noises on it, to play "The Blue Danube Waltz".
* [[Extremely Short Timespan]]: The whole movie takes place over the course of a day.
Line 67:
* [[High School Hustler]]: Ferris, naturally. (He was once one of the [[Trope Namer]]s for that page.)
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The entire film is one for Rooney.
* [[Impairment Shot]]: Despite the fact that the audience knows Ferris is faking, Jeannie knows Ferris is faking, and Ferris is lampshading that Jeannie knows Ferris is faking -- the ''camera'' still gives an out of focus view of Jeannie as she walks in to complain their parents are letting Ferris stay home.
* [[Insert Cameo]]: In Cameron's first scene, we see his hand press a button on his speakerphone. The hand was actually that of John Hughes; Alan Ruck didn't get the movement ''quite'' right, so Hughes did it himself after everyone else had left for the day.
* [[Inspector Javert]]/[[Lawful Stupid]]: Dean Rooney. Say what you will about Ferris being manipulative, but dropping a flowerpot on a dog's head and breaking into a student's house is taking things ''too far''.
