[[WMG: Bender grows up to become[[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga The Joker]]
Both seem to enjoy pushing people over the edge. Both are outsiders. Both carry a hatred for authority figures. Bender's father beats him, and one of the Joker's stories for his scars involve an alcoholic father. The Breakfast Club is set in Sherman Illinois, which is not to far from Chicago, which is what the The Dark Knight Saga's Gotham is supposedly based on. Perhaps after graduation, Bender suffers some sort of traumatic accident that leaves him scarred physically and drives him to insanity.

[[WMG: Bender does this regularly.]]
Its clearly established that Bender is constantly in detention. Maybe he secretly likes bringing kids of different cliques together, if only for one day, as part of an experiment of sorts on society. Maybe he has it methodically planned out: observe them, comment about their parents, take them to his locker to get his pot, and get them high so they eventually spill their secrets and grow closer. Maybe thats where he met all the girls in his wallet.

Or possibly half sister. We never see Cameron or Allison's family, and Cameron's dad doesn't seem like the most loyal man, so he could've knocked another woman up, or Cameron's mom had her with another man. Both are weird and don't seem to be the most popular in school. Their home lives are both unsatisfactory, and the way Ferris describes Cameron's house (Like a museum, you can't touch anything and it's cold) was a deleted line from TheBreakfastClub describing Allison's house.

As [[WhoFramedRogerRabbit Judge Doom]] said, "No toon, can resist the old ''Shave-and-a-hair-cut''!" When Bender is hiding under her table, Claire hits the first five notes on the desktop, to which Bender replies with the ''two-bits!'' follow up hits.

The characters exist in the {{DC Comics}} universe. They have died, and the entire movie is them gradually passing over and coming to terms with their own deaths. Alternatively, they were all alive and actually in detention, up until the janitor arrived, went nuts and killed the kids (he obviously hates them). Allison is in fact Death of the Endless, acting in her role as a psychopomp.

It is heavily implied during the scene where Bender rips up the books, that Claire may have slept with Andrew at one point. It was also heavily implied by Bender (whom also guessed correctly that Andrew hated his parents.) that he slipped her the "Hot beef injection." She ended up with Bender in the end. Plus she did convince Brian to write the essay for them all, so he must have had something out of it.

Makes sense, she stole Benders knife and never gave it back, unlike Brian's wallet. Her parents ignore her so they wouldn't see it coming.

Allison is in the same boat as Squee, in that her parents don't care about her and she clearly has a number of issues. She's also artistic, a skill demonstrated early on in the movie.

He knew about the devices and was just confirming it. The threat is placed all over the announcements on Monday. Vernon gets fired and arrested.

How else would he get Saturday detention for bringing ''a flare gun'' to school?
[[WMG: Brian's parents are pushing him to be perfect for selfish purposes.]]
It's appropriately cynical, and fits in with his mother's overall sleazy mien. Brian's mother and father don't see him as a human being, but as a means of earning prestige in Shermer. They grossly insert themselves into his academic process, and they surely take the credit for his successes. Furthermore, the higher the GPA, the more money you make. [[FridgeHorror Think about that]] for a second.
