Wow. Oh, and was that music from Evil Genius I heard? April frist really does bring out the wierdness of people I suppose.

Fantastic review. I love the anti-hero take on Ferris, and how he basically is a selfish kid who ruins lives left and right. It's so easy, when watching this movie, to get behind Ferris… but he really is an ass and a prototypical '80s upper middle-class youth who got whatever he wanted.

Maybe that's why so many of us loved this movie, though; we wanted to be Ferris. We wanted to skip school, get the girl, be popular, and have our parents love us instead of our… sisters.

Finally the contrarian view of Bueller's Disneyland fantasy of Chicago and how far a wealthy teenage criminal mastermind can push crap until it breaks…”Ferris Bueller's Day Off” is to high school as “Big Trouble in Little China” is to any Asian neighborhood; completely unbelievable.

That said, sound clips from the movie made for a great Ventrilo server harassment video by the Video Compiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDCu4Jj3-xs

Keep bending minds, Dr. Insano!

Must obey insano, I went home as commanded, what should i do now my master?

Bloody brilliant, Spoony-er, Dr. Insano!

A person who lies to get what he wants?

Sounds like Dan Rizzo.

I believe in Dr. Insano
Renegade +99

Seriously though that was awesome.

Well, now Insano has a full on theme song. All due to the wonder of April Fools Day! Ok anyhow, good review of a classic movie!

anyone else see the robot move in the background in one shot? great video but i was like..it was slowly turning its head to look at the doc and i was like..”was that on purpose?”

I don't know weather I should revert to my days when this was my favorite movie and thought Beast Wars Ruined transformers forever, or should thank that I was able to have 10 minuets of enjoyment from spoony despite him not having to do so…
I'll do both:
“Even if that was a joke it wasn't fucking funny. Oh and great show”

So Dr. Insano is so full of hate that he hates even the other members of Team Evil?

Go-go Chaotic Evil!

And Neutral Evil can go stuff itself. Pick a side, dammit! D<

What struck me as retarded is when he gave that guy the overly-expensive car. He's lucky the random guy didn't just steal the damned thing.

This story is about an over-privledged spoiled partier and it's my over-privledged spoiled partier ex-roommate's favorite movie. Gee i wonder why.

Sure this is an april fool's review but i still feel there's a bit of truth in there. I have no idea why plenty of shows are about asshole children or other characters that cause trouble and yet kids fucking love it. Reminds me of when i joked about the movie title 'law abiding citizen'. Imagine how boring a law abiding citizen would be. I suppose the truth is that order and kindness is boring.

Haha. Great april fools day joke. I loved it

As April Fools Day specials go, that was a good one. :)

Still, I'm sure there's an Earth-3 version of the Not-good doctor out there somewhere…

If Insano is hosting, which room is Spoony tied up & gagged in? lol

That was a funny take on a movie I like. BNormally I hate April first but at least I got something decent to start my day off with.

love the Evil Genuis soundtrack in the background… very fitting:P

Camera by the Nurse? Was Scarlett hiding behind the camera dressed up as a nurse?!

This is by far the greatest April Fools prank I have seen so far! I know the movie was supposed to be one of those “coming of age” stories, but if you look back on it, Ferris Bueller was a dick to people. To believe this show inspired many of a rip off such as Parker Lewis Can't Lose and the Zack Morris character in Saved By The Bell.

More Insano reviews please Spoony!

Good review. And tbh I never liked that movie for pretty much all the reasons you described. I'm not against taking a day off but the guy really is an unlikeable dick who cares nothing about anyone else.

Awesome , A great way to start the day with Dr. Insano

must obey Insano

Fantastic review…tongue in cheek or not I think it paints a vivid picture of just what an asshole the Bueller character actually is. More Insano reviews please, his verbiage is fantastic.

That was awesomely hilarious, great job!

Hmm… Sort of disappointed, here. It was a great review, as always, but… was I the only one expecting some HUGE April fools joke? Ya know what? If Spoony is doing what I think he’s doing, then bravo! The April Fools joke, is that there is no joke. Wait, what?

Snake! You’ve created a time paradox! SNAKE! SSSSSSSNNNNNNAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE!!!!

Yeah, Ferris Bueller really is an immoral, horrible person who’s plans don’t even succeed by his own cunning, but rather by his abuse of the misplaced affection others have for him. It really does leave me feeling sick.

Now, Doctor Insano’s Day Off would be a film worth watching. SCIENCE!

Shit. Y'know, he's right… Ferris is a dick. Funny how I never gave it much thought. Testament to the director's skill, I guess. Though I always did feel some pity in the back of my mind for the principle and the sister. …And Cameron. And his parents. And maybe the school body. And even that restaurant jerk, a little. Come to think of it, wow. Why isn't he the villain?

God, I love Oingo Boingo.

Anyways, Dr. Insano was right on! I've seen this movie! Why do people think it's so great? Ferris is an ass!

And I hope to see more Insano reviews. I think they're a nice diversion.

Awesome.

You're getting better and better at the whole Dr. Insano thing! He rocks.

I can't believe I never really 'got' this as an 80's kid, but you're dead on!

That was pretty good! I'd like to see more Insano Reviews.

Confirming what everyone already knew… Matthew Broderick has always played complete creeps.

Was the background music from that Evil Genius game? It sounds -really- framiliar….

YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! DADDY LIKE!

Spoony I hope you know giving us a taste of “The Insaino Experiment” is like giving the taste of blood to a rage monkey, we will hunger for MORE and not stop till one side is dead!

Ah yes, I've always perceived Ferris Bueller to be a walking tumour. I've never known any schoolkids to be like him, he seems more like an grotesque abstraction of the arrogance and selfishness of spoilt, popular schoolkids in general.

Hilarious stuff!

An ok review although I am not into the Insano character. Just because you invent something a little bit twisted and annoingly noisy doesn't mean that you have to over use the joke. Insano is a decent character but just too annoying to support an entire review. Just be yourself Noah, things you say as Spoony are much funnier, deep and more informative than this Insano crap.

Can we expect a commentary on that Spoony? that would be awsome! WHO'S WITH ME?!

Wait… Is Spoony/Insano back in his old house for this review? Or is it just a part of a room in his new house that just is set up the same way?

I obey Insano!

I have to agree that I'm not sure how to take this April fools joke. I've seen the film once and absolutely hated it. I didn't mind the pointless references to camera (well not much) nor did I really mind the acting. It was the whole idea that Ferris was such an awesome well liked guy that he didn't have to do anything and could just coast through life without a two brain cells to rub together. It was just plain irritating

As always I almost died laughing at Insaino's plight. I seriously worry what happens if and when he finally drops the idea of building a woman, marries Burton and gets his priorities straightened out.

Thomas

In my mind Ben Stine represents everything lazy uneducated and wrong with the world. Let's remember Expelled No Intelligence Allowed. A “documentary” with less facts then the fox moon landing hoax “documentary”.

Good morning Spoony and fellow Spooners.

I see Spoony actually decided to try the guest-host thing, albeit for April Fools' Day. It worked out nicely. I wonder which other character could do good reviews. Ultimate Warrior is a great character, but would probably not work for more than a couple of seconds. On the other hand, having Terl act as some kind of acting critic could work.

Loved that one spoony or should i say Insano

I actually genuinely don't like this movie.

You're close. The Emulator II cost about $8000 at launch in 1984.

I personally subscribe to the theory that Ferris is a figment of Cameron's imagination. He represents the ridiculous extreme of what Cameron is incapable of being, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Ferris is socially daring, extremely popular, dates the girl Cameron likes, and has everything Cameron wants. He could be purely fictitious, or he could represent his exaggerated view of a kid at school he admires. It's one of those cases where the alternative interpretation of the movie actually make the movie much better.

Agreed! needs moar insano!

I loved this, i hope this is the start of a recurring fature of having Insano review stuff once in a while, like TNA :D

“I personally subscribe to the theory that Ferris is a figment of Cameron's imagination. ….. It's one of those cases where the alternative interpretation of the movie actually make the movie much better.”

You are point-blank wrong in this case. The story makes absolutely no sense if you believe this in the slightest. An alternate interpetation cannot cherry pick the parts you like in order for it to make sense. This theory could only work ONLY IF Cameron was the centeral character throughout the movie and all the subplots revolve around him. It does not, and they do not. So there goes your argument.

Is it worring that I agree wholeheartedly with Insano on this one? This film is MESSED UP.

Simmer down, man! Ha. It's an alternate interpretation intended merely for the purpose of fun. He wasn't saying that was the TRUE meaning of the movie, that we've all been missing. It's just an interesting way to view the movie in another light. The psychology of it brings on a whole different perspective to the art that the director obviously never intended. Art is all about interpretation after all.

Way to tease us with the idea of an Insano review of the Twilight Saga

I'm suprised you didn't address the “Ferris is Cameron's Tyler Durden” perspective on this movie which gives “Squall's Dead” a run for its money in terms of crazy fan speculation

So, yeah. I'm sure this is meant as an April Fool's thing, but, man, I've always disliked this movie. Over the last few years I've started to actually loathe the hell out of it, and for exactly the reasons mentioned here. It's just not a good film, and I'm baffled as to why it was so popular back in the day.

On an ironic note, I remember once seeing the movie while at school. Yep, they actually showed it to us. Fun times.

Ahh yes, the classic economic sufficient lifestyle BEFORE both Bush administrations when everyone could get a job that would eventually buy them their dreams.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantas…

There appears to be an April Fool's poll with the Spoony One facing Linkara in epic battle. And weirdly its on a Final Fantasy wiki of all things.

Good point…I think its one in every 10 million that actually live the so-called 'American Dream'…let me try and find that 1920's travel brochure…no wait my family used it to heat their hut during the 30's depression and every thanksgiving meal during that decade…conveniently a deranged nazi fuck was put into power to jump start the global economy again

… lol sorry got side tracked…what were we talkin about again

lol -I loved the idea of insano doing the review. You should have him do others for movies with like Street Fighter where he can discuse the merits and flaws of other would be world conquerers :P Anyhoo, loved this one! keep em coming spoony

lol

The fan theory has been discussed on a cracked article here It is number four:

http://www.cracked.com/article/18367_6-insane-f…

Gonna have to agree with the good doc…

My lorrrrrd… I was laughing my ass off at the “tap that ass” comment in the Dr. Insano voice.

~raises hand~

haha INSANO RISES!, slightly off topic it's good to see you've improved you Chroma work as much as you have, good job! that being said I'd work on your colour grading and do something about the video degradation of the keyed out clips

VERY funny review Spoony! Was skeptical during the opening, but that was hilarious! Keep 'em coming.

I love april fools reviews. I just wish to point out that missing 9 days of school is no big deal. I missed half a semester in grade 10 and still passed classes. Also, the principle was breaking and entering. THAT is illegal lol.

All in all, the cost to Ferris that day was probably close to 500 dollars btw. That amuses me.

and now a reenactment of my thought process.

Hm, April Fools Day, Spoonyone, and Ferris Bueller's Day off. This should be awesome, I wonder how this is going to work……

wait what's this….DR. INSANO, excuse me while I mark the fuck out.

Loved the review, but here's the thing about odometers. I thought the same thing too, but it turns out in older cars the odometer would actually roll back if you put it in reverse. Of course nowadays with the electronic ones they detect both forward and reverse so you can't do this.

That's the strange thing for me, too… this movie does feel like the celebration of a complete jerkwad who manipultes people like some kind of evil puppetmaster.

Though, that's probably because Cameron is the character I can relate to that I'd think that…
I mean in personallity, by the way, not in life situation.

It makes a load of sense; Ferris is just too perfect and he gets away with it. Cameron, on the other hand, is weighed down by his father and probably a little loopy from the cold medicine, so he decides to finally push his luck, steal the Ferrari and have a good time. It ends badly for him, but at least he can face his problems at the end of the film (we think.) Ferris Bueller floats in from Imaginationland and right back once he is no longer needed. The only question in this take of the story is: Does the girl exist too, or is she some projection of Cameron's mind?

I enjoyed that alot more than last april fool's.

Very well done. I hate to being Douche McNitpick but I am going to be anyway. And I do appreciate all the hard work that goes into these reviews. One, the cop wasn't credited at the end. I realize it was probably Miles and 95% of your fans would know that but still, I've become accustom to your detailed crediting. Two, in this bizarre alternate reality where Doctor Insano reviews movies, I would expect him to do it from his science lab. I can accept that he would sit in a chair in a nondescript room but what I can't accept is that he would have a poster of Highlander. Doctor Insano just doesn't strike me as a Highlander fan. However, if you would like to make a video where Doctor Insano explains his love for all things Highlander, I'd love to see it.
Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I enjoy them a lot.

Yea the conflicker was a dozey. And it was/is real.

Damn you Dr. Insano, but nice review. Never thought of this movie this way, Ferris Bueller is Hitler, so charasmatic

I wonder if Pee-Wee Herman is still working as a waiter at the restaurant. He was working there when the Blues Brothers visited and took Mr Fabulous, the smart maître d.

What all decent people think. I really like the film as a whole but everytime Ferris jumps on that goddamn float I’m hoping and praying Sloane will turn round, realise he’s a douche and run off with Cameron. Then again John Hughes does have wierd ideas of what constitutes ‘happy ending’. Who can forget Breakfast Club when the goth is ‘normalised’ and the geek gets no girl and writes all of their papers!

OBEY INSANO is a clever anagram for IN NO BOA, YES

Maybe Dr Insano Hijacked Spoony's show in order to vent about a movie he hates?

Loved It!!
Go Dr.Insano

Excellent video. So right on the money. As a teen you agree with Ferris. Once you are older you see him for the prick he is.

I did expect a second cop to come out, tap the first on the should and tell him he is in his spot, then both proceed to beat Insano..

why do you care? your supposed to be evil.

I commently agree with Dr. Insano. No idea if this was some kind of April Fools 'prank' to like discredit a cult film to try anf rile fans up, but it's completely true. Ferris was a selfish git really and all I could think as I watched the movie was “My god, I hope he gets caught”. But of course the story never ends that way..

Maybe my opinion of the movie is like this because I never watched it until I was 22, so I'd grew up became an honest person who appreciates the hard work people do and then saw Ferris Bueller.. Yeah he wasn't winning any popularity contests with me. I despise everything that character spoke for. You could tell that he would grow up to be some successful prick with a great (easy) job, living in a huge mansion with a gorgeous wife and still living like a selfish kid.

Any adult who can still watch this movie and love the character is obviously a very selfish person too.

Is it just me Spoony, or are you still looking off camera towards the end there?

I can't see your eyes but the way your chin turns slightly is a bit of a giveaway I think.

Wow, I didn't expect so many other positive comments. But I'd vote Ahy to continue the Insano Expariment as well. As with most good humor, this review contains a lot of truth; and it's deliciously ironic coming from Insano, a mad scientist bent on taking over thee world, criticising a young man's greed and douchbaggery.

One note, it should have been his son, not Burton; since Burton is Spoony's side kick. Other than that, excelent.

already posted this on the forum but wanna say again, OOH Spoony put the fanart I drew into one of his vids! I'm friggin HONORED!

oh, this is wonderful. i've been watching since bayou billy, no joke! you're doing a great thing here, keep it up!

Yeah its amazing really how a movie can easily paint someone in a heroic light even if they are not all that good. An your average person will run right along with it. Just watch almost any Quentin Tarantino film.

he wasn't lip sinking to “Twist and shout”. still funny!

rofl this is hilarious!

I completly agree. What kind of message is this movie trying to send? That making your friends think your dying, lying to your parents, getting your teacher into trouble, destroying your best friends car and not helping him in any way afterwards is all ok as long as you don’t get caught!

No thats not ok. This kid is taking advantage of people and doesn’t care how much he hurts them just so he can have fun. He’s charming and charismatic sure but he’s also selfish and totally self serving. Meanwhile the man just trying to do his job and bring Ferris to school were he should be is made the butt monkey, abused and misused the entire film, but ‘he’s supposed to be the antagonist!?

No Ferris is. He’s the bad guy, end of story.

The only thing less than perfect about this review is it’s the only one operated by Insano. Something about the guy is endearing…he’s a hell of an honest villain. Fact is I can’t even think of him as one, and he’s damn sure the first “villain” who’s opinion I actually ENJOY, in lieu of every bloated ego dumb ass with a monologue modern day fiction rehashes and calls the bad guy.

I’d LOVE more reviews like this. Full character the whole time.
He says it best.

“I may be Evil, but at least I”m not full of -crap-!”

am i the only one to question as to why theres a parade going on during a school day ( ordinary day)
does that happen often in chicAgo

my favourite line ^^

“oh well it seems silly to me of course but then… I WENT TO SCHOOL”! :D
Somehow I always crack up at that line ^_^

29 days after this review i recorded it on amc i find it very wierd

I don’t see why Ferris doesn’t think of manually turning back the dials showing the mileage. Now that I’ve thought about it, he’d just catastrophically fuck up the dashboard somehow.

does anyone else find it weird that the guy who played the principal ended up getting charged with possesion of child pornography?

I like whenever he starts to really rage, he slips back into spoony. :]

I made a woman with my computer once, but then she hit level 85 and suddenly she’s too good for me to grind with anymore!

“This is were his soul snaps like a twix bar” brillant

Yeah, you totally have me siding with the villain in this movie. Ferris Bueller needs a kick in the nutsack. lol

Still is a funny movie, you have to admit.

Still is a funny movie, you have to admit.

How about that guy scared that Ferris will die because Ferris is gonna get him out of summer school! Dude! You’re like 25! How many times have you been held back! One more’s not gonna kill you!

I have another Question? Why does a pupil need a day off when he gets 2 every week? You know, Saturday and Sunday… and all the holidays

I want to see Dr. Insano review more Mathew Brokerick movies.

I want to see Dr. Insano review more Mathew Brokerick movies.

i’ve always had a thing against this movie, for the exact reason mentioned in the caption. evil triumphing over decency and reason. if it wasn’t for the raw beauty of the female lead, i’d have no pleasant memory of this flick. so to you i say, well said sir!

Love this movie, but the review was hilarious!
