History WMG / TheBreakfastClub

[[WMG: The movie is set in the same universe as {{Squee}} and JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac.]]

The fact is, Both characters are played by Molly Ringwald and both films are set in the same universe, according to the late John Hughes. So think about it, after the end of Sixteen Candles, Jake Ryan probably said to himself, "Why would I bother to date Samantha knowing I will be graduating in a few months and most likely will be attending college when she still has two years of high school?" Soon after, Jake abruptly broke up with Samantha and got back together with Caroline. Samantha, devastated and enraged, ran

Being a teenager isn't easy, and these teenagers are clearly miserable, but their lives probably aren't as bad as they appear. Sometimes, we like to think the worst about our parents, but usually they are well meaning people who have roles beyond parenting. Claire is probably very bitter about her parents divorce, and is thus imagining them doing it to spite her, Andrew and Brian are very talented people who put pressure on themselves, and only fear that their parents wouldn't love them, Allison is a lonely girl who is so detached she can't relate to her own parents, and thus imagines them neglecting her, and Bender is angry jerk who provokes everyone so he could be lying because he likes people feeling sympathy.

* It could work if they were forced to surrender their phones to the Principal or the school's computers were shut down for the weekend.

He seems unusually nervous for someone merely in detention until you realize that he (like many on the autism spectrum) is nervous about being in a room with strangers and nobody familiar to him. He also goes off on tangents even when the other characters obviously aren't listening to him (when he rattles off the clubs he belongs to), and he's oblivious to sarcasm and other social cues (Bender: Did your mother marry Mr. Rogers? Brian: No, Mr. Johnson). All of these are common symptoms of people on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum (Asperger's, Type III hyperlexia, etc).

That leaves on Andy and John. Neither of them outright say, but considering that Andy is a popular boy jock and Bender is a criminal bad-ass, it isn't unlikely

[[WMG: Andy and Bender have had sex (I don't mean with each other, fyi). Think about it! Claire outright says she never did it. Brian also mentions his virginity directly. I'm not sure if Allison was lying about her status (after she 'admits' she never did it,)

She goes to New York, where she eventually changes her name to [[FightClub Marla Singer]].

The news host of ''Gotham Tonight'' was portrayed by the same actor. Perhaps Brian wanted a cooler name.

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.

We know the students managed to bring stuff into the library that Vernon would probably have blown a gasket if he knew. If five teenagers today were consigned to detention and left unsupervised, they'd all pull out the smartphones they'd smuggled in, soon as they were left on their own, and would spend the day calling their friends or messing around online, without saying a single word to one another.
