Again great commentary! I always love hearing what goes into your videos and the little anecdotes when you wander off into a story.Keep ‘em coming :DPS. Here in Holland you also have a law where you’re supposed to carry around Identification all the time. Though here it’s not so directed at illegals but more towards people who disturb the peace. And if you can’t provide an ID when a cop stops you they put you in jail for a couple hours.When they first introduced that law it caused a lot of trouble for people going out during the weekends. You’d have teens coming home after a night of drinking (which is legal here when you turn 16. Well beer at least. hard liquor from the age of 18) and cops would check them and they’d end up spending the night in jail. Nowadays people have gotten used to it I think.

I hate to say this, but with the way the economy is going and with 2 more years of “Change” on the horizon. I’d happily sign up to help with the Farris Bueller sequel… I kinda look and feel the part of one of the many people/professions you threw under the bus. Or at least my wallet reflects such.

I can handle the crazy maniacal cackling too (think back to the card tables of Jr & Sr High School, Bill the Pinapple king, Lurch, and that one guy who kept getting bitch slapped by Bill’s counterspells =p). It would be kinda nice to catch up with an old friend, who said he’d get back to me after finals… like six years ago =? I could really use a few tips for my own projects, duct tape and bubble gum doesn’t seem to quite do it, even for a Wing Commander series Let’s Play.

The Onion had a radio segment about the “Ferris Bueller sequel”.http://www.theonion.com/audio/grownup-ferris-bu…

Huh. I already saw this. Is this a re-upload?

no. you can not be serious. The bill for Arizona does nothing that actually violates a citizen's rights. You have to have ID on your to drive and do things. I, in Texas, couldn't get even a library card until I finally got my driver's license. Legal–That is Legeal–immigrants need their papers on them all the time anyway. The Police aren't asking for anything more than what they should have on them already. By their very definition, Illegal Immigrants are Illegal and there is nothing wrong in making them go back home. They're Illegal. If they want to immigrate they need to do so Legally.

God, I hate this bullshit.

There is a fan theory that proposes that this whole movie is all in Cameron's head. I think it's a very entertaining idea, if you think about it. Someone else said it better:

My favorite thought-piece about Ferris Bueller is the “Fight Club” theory, in which Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron's imagination, like Tyler Durden, and Sloane is the girl Cameron secretly loves.

One day while he's lying sick in bed, Cameron lets “Ferris” steal his father's car and take the day off, and as Cameron wanders around the city, all of his interactions with Ferris and Sloane, and all the impossible hijinks, are all just played out in his head. This is part of the reason why the “three” characters can see so much of Chicago in less than one day — Cameron is alone, just imagining it all.

It isn't until he destroys the front of the car in a fugue state does he finally get a grip and decide to confront his father, after which he imagines a final, impossible escape for Ferris and a storybook happy ending for Sloane (“He's gonna marry me!”), the girl that Cameron knows he can never have.

I still subscribe to the theory that Cameron is hallucinating Ferris’ existence. It’s the only way that any of it makes a lick of sense.

Where's FF1 review? :P I wanna see that

I never realized Spoony's brother was a cop.

Shame to hear that the Doc will be getting less screentime, but I guess when you have a good bit you don't want to risk running it into the ground.

As a sidenote, I affected a Dr. Insano voice for a character in a D&D game recently, and let me assure you all, the man is not lying, that is AGONY to do for more than a couple minutes. I had to retire that NPC real fast.

-Dude, your brother's a cop? That's awesome! Except it's kind of diminished since this one guy I just read about in an interview is also training to be a cop (though not in Arizona). He's the author of this one godawful webcomic where two high school furries run an assisted suicide program, except it's a lot more like Jigsaw than Dr. Kevorkian. Everyone's an asshole, and the best part is that the client always, ALWAYS changes their mind at the last minute, only for them to go through with it anyway. I think El Santo of the Webcomics Overlook put it best: “Wow, it's like looking through the eyes of a SERIAL KILLER.” (And I'm following his example of not mentioning the disgusting thing by name, denying it as much publicity as I can.) I really don't know what I expect from the author of that demented shit being on any sort of law enforcement organization.

-I believe that Cracked.com ran a list of alternate interpretations that improved some stories, like Zion being a part of the Matrix and so on, and one of them was that FBDO was all in Cameron's head. I forget the specifics of it, and I wish I could remember them, because that's pretty far out, but Cameron does get the most (almost the only) character development in this movie. Still, I doubt that was what John Hughes intended when he wrote the script.

-Thank fuck you mentioned the droning critics can do, because that's the thing I hate the most about the Distressed Watcher. If HE could cut OUT that LYRical sort of DRONing that goes ON when he talks at LENGTH about SOMEthing, then he'd be only half as annoying as he is now. Probably a lot less than that! I shouldn't be so mean to him, I know he's only just starting out on the critic's path, but it's a problem he really needs to nip in the bud.

I've seen this one before, yet I can't find WHERE I saw it. What the hell?

People like you seem to always think that legal immigration is an easy and fair procedure. It is not. One Cracked author shows this effectively:

http://www.cracked.com/article_18552_so-you-wan…

By the way, what on earth could be a reason to restrict immigration? Has a human being not the god-given right to move freely on the face of the earth? Don't you realize that borders are ARBITRARY restrictions, not representing anything important? I may be biased because I support a world government, but really, is restricted immigration not a jail with another name?

In any case, they can't even ask you for proof of residence unless you've already broken the law, much like the seatbelt laws in place in many states already.

Yeah, that's what I was saying, about the fan theories. I read it on Cracked too. The full article is here: http://www.cracked.com/article/18367_6-insane-f…

Agreed. And cops really do get a bad rap, most cops I know take pride in their job and don't want to abuse their station…

LOL, about the whole Arizona immigration thing, go to youtube and look up “Glenn Beck has Nazi tourettes” and you will see that Glenn Beck, the guy who calls EVERYTHING that ANYONE does a part of a Nazi plot, thinks that comparing this bill to Nazi practices is too far.

I should say here that I consider myself a conservative, but I HATE GLENN BECK. Rest assured, he represents only the lunatic fringe of the ideology, and I am ashamed that he is in any way associated with me.

BTW, just to bump up a little support for the fact that we aren't all lunatics, Linkara has said that he is a conservative, so HA!

On Insano: Dude, I didn't even realize that he was toned down. He really doesn't talk for very long usually, so I didn't really have any preconceptions of his normal speaking voice. Keep up the good work, Spoony!

With people like glen beck, it's hard to tell a sane conservative from a lunatic.Heck, I'm not even sure what a conservative is about anymore.

I consider my self liberal third wave feminist, but I will gladly shake hands with yours or any other conservatives and work together towards things. In other words, your cool in my book.

“By the way, what on earth could be a reason to restrict immigration?”

Drug cartels, rapists, murderers, traffickers of women, etc., etc. Oh, and terrorists. Have you heard about them, and the guy who nearly blew up a car bomb in Times Square?

If you're really concerned about the right to move freely on the face of the Earth, go tell it to North Korea, or Iran, or China even. People like you seem to always think these people deserve loving treatment.

If you have no borders, you have no nation. And as such, no rights whatsoever.

Get a clue, and stop bothering people with your ignorance.

Well yeah, but a Minnesota conservative. =P Like how in Massachusetts for instance, conservative means libertarian, and not borderline-insane like it does in Michigan.

I doubt Ferris would end up as a fry cook, he has enough charisma and enough connections that someone would just throw him a job in middle management. After that I honestly see him becoming the CEO of Goldman and Sachs or something.

loved this review, Dr Insano is awesome. i for one am all for toning down his maniacal laughter if it means we'll still see him around.

hope you're over that cold or whatever it was. if not, get well soon! we love you spoony!

I don't think he'd end up unsuccessful, he's far too clever and charismatic. That being said, he'd likely become a scam artist.

If you look at Ferris's grades on the computer screen, he actually has straight A's across the board. He's not a slacker, he's just tired of school because it's redundant. The point is that he does all his work for the class and performs better than most other people, so he deserves a break once in awhile since the classes are probably covering things he already knows but other students are having trouble understanding. Sort of like how I finished half of FFVI in programming class while the rest of the class tried to figure out various topics I already knew.

So it appears that this commentary is broken. Tried it in Firefox, with and without noscript and in IE. Nothing shows up at all. Just thought you might wanna know.

Dr. Insano is basically the Jack Sparrow of the Spoonyverse. He’s a character of pure id who goes back and forth basically fitting any role that’s needed to bring in the laughs while the straight-laced Will Turner/Spoony One gets on with the video and gets the job done.

That said, when he has to, Insano is a much better character because he can (and has) held his own doing reviews by himself. Depp couldn’t pull that off with Pirates 4. Think about that for a bit.

i love that im not the only one who thinks about the whole “dont get on camera if your not in the mood” because, i tend not to get on camera if i know im not gonna be entertaining, granted i do LPs, and not whole things like this… i do things like this mind you, but, your right about the whole in the mood thing
