* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFVLWX7eEY The entire opening diatribe]] from MrExposition, Ferris Bueller. He explains his situation, how to properly fake being sick, and even what he was supposed to be doing in school.
-->'''Ferris:''' I do have a test today; that wasn't bullshit. It's on European Socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're Socialists? They could be Fascist Anarchists, [[ItsAllAboutMe it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car]].
* "One Man's Struggle To Take It Easy"
* Cameron singing miserably to himself in bed, complete with inexplicable harmonizing that joins in:
-->'''Cameron:''' "When Cameron was in Egypt's land... '''Let my... Cameron... GO.'''"
-->''*jump cut to Ferris*''
-->'''Ferris:''' "Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond."
* "Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?"
-->'''Simone:''' "Um, he's sick. [[KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl]] who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
-->'''Teacher:''' Thank you Simone.
-->'''Simone:''' No problem whatsoever.
** "Anyone? Anyone?"
* Even better than Ben Stein is the ''incredibly'' boring teacher in the class that Sloane is pulled out of:
--> '''Teacher''': In......... ''what''........... ''way''.......... does the author's use of the ''prison''...... ''symbolize''.....
** The many faces of the exasperated students during the boring teacher's class.
** Made even funnier because the teacher (played by Del Close), clearly thinks that he's being engaging.
* Ferris dancing to the I Dream Of Jeannie theme song.
** Sloane's exaggerated "who, me?" gesture at the nurse (after putting her book away and putting on her coat just as she walks in)
** And her over the top attempt to [[BadBadActing break into tears]] when told [[BlatantLies her grandmother has died]].
* When Ed finds out Sloane's grandmother "died", he wants Grace to get Mr. Peterson's daytime number. But then "Peterson" (actually Cameron disguising his voice) beats Grace to the punch. Grace still asks Ed, "Do you still want Mr. Peterson's daytime number?" Ed just gives her a, "Are you kidding??" look, and Grace quickly realizes what a stupid question that was and smiles.
** [[http://youtu.be/kj1EP8rHZ-M "ED! Ferris Bueller's on line two!"]] The most epic OhCrap moment to ever grace the silver screen.
** The incredibly casual tone of voice Rooney uses when asking "Mr. Peterson" to [[RefugeInAudacity show him the grandmother's dead body]].
--->'''Rooney:''' Uh, sure. Y'know, I'd be happy to. Yeah. You, uh, you-you just produce a corpse, and, uh, I'll release Sloane. I wanna see this dead grandmother first hand.\\
'''Grace:''' ''[suspiciously]'' Ed?\\
'''Rooney:''' ''[covering the phone]'' It's alright, Grace, it's Ferris Bueller, the little twerp. I'm gonna set a trap, and let him fall right in it.\\
'''Grace:''' Ooh!\\
'''Cameron:''' Uh, uh, Ed, I-I'm sorry, did-- Did you say you wanted to see a body?\\
'''Rooney:''' Yeah, that's right. Just, uh, roll her old bones on over here, and I'll dig up your daughter. You know, that's school policy.
** To say nothing of Grace's awful attempt to impersonate Rooney when he suddenly hands her the phone:
--->*puts on very unconvincing "deep" voice* "Uu''aaawww'', uuuhhh, just a moment, ''uhhh''..."
** Speaking of voices, Cameron's exaggerated voice and facial expressions when playing "George Peterson" are a delight.
* "Pardon my French, but you're an asshole!"
** The slap Ferris gives Cameron out of nowhere when he makes the situation worse.
* "You have reached the Coughlin Brother's mortuary. We are [[LargeHam DEEPLY]] sorry we are unable to answer your call, but if you [[LargeHam LEEEAVE]] your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as is humanly possible."
* The entirety of the art gallery scene. Especially [[http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac57/gifgiving/FBDO10.gif this]].
* The scene where Jeanie and Rooney each think Ferris is in the house. She jumps out thinking she's caught him trying to sneak back in, at the same moment Rooney does and startles her. She screams and [[SpamAttack kicks him in the face three times]], followed by cutaway scenes of her running back upstairs while Rooney collapses. The best part being, she actually reaches the top of the stairs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpDgdL_WMic by the time he's finished hitting the floor!]]
** After Jeannie's made it back to her room, she tries to scare Rooney off, by threatening him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4j_GffcGsQ over her house's intercom system:]]
-->'''Jeanie: (over the intercom)''' "Excuse me: if whoever was in the house is still in the house, I'd like you to know that I've just called the police. So if you have any brains whatsoever, you'll get out of my house real quick."
-->'''[[{{Beat}} *brief pause*]]'''
-->'''Jeanie:''' "I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and ''[[TakeOurWordForIt a scorching]]'' [[BlatantLies case of herpes."]]
* Talking about Cameron's car.
-->'''Ferris:''' Cameron, I'm sorry, but we can't pick up Sloane in your car. Mr. Rooney would never believe Mr. Peterson drives that piece of shit.
-->'''Cameron:''' It's not a piece of shit.
-->'''Ferris:''' It ''is'' a piece of shit. Don't worry about it, I don't even have a piece of shit; I have to envy yours.
* The parking garage employees making the Ferrari fly over the camera as the ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme plays full blast. It's the only time we check in on the car and the scene cuts in with no segue at all, just popping up to say "Yes, it is ''exactly'' what Cameron was worried about. We now return to our story in progress."
* The cut to Ferris about to play the clarinet: "Never had ONE lesson." *plays clarinet horribly*
* Ferris disguising himself from afar as Sloane's father to get her out of school. Then tops it by making out with her in front of Rooney ("Do you have a kiss for Daddy?"), who is squicked out but walks away.
--> '''Rooney''': So ''that's'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint how it is in their family]]...
** And during this bit, Ben Stein is ''still'' droning on.
* [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "And here's where Cameron goes berserk."]]
* The telegram nurse.
-->I heard that you were feeling ill
-->Headache, fever, and a chill
-->I came to help restore your pluck
-->'Cause I'm the nurse who likes to--''([[CurseCutShort Jeannie slams the door]])''
** Even better, in most televised versions, Jeanie slams the door before the nurse can ''even talk'' as if to say "I don't have ''time'' for this right now!"
* Rooney frantically running down the hallway, then slowing down to a speed-walk as he passes the classroom doors.
* When everybody but Ferris gets home:
--> '''Tom''': What's wrong?\\
'''Katie''': ''Everything''. I just picked up Jeanie from the police station. (...) She got a speeding ticket, ''another'' speeding ticket, and I lost the Vermont deal because of her.\\
'''Tom''': [[DeadpanSnarker I think we should shoot her.]]
* When Ed Rooney is on the phone: "'''Grace?'''"
** "''GRACE!!''"
** "'''''[=GrrRACE=]!!!!'''''"
* A truck honks the horn to "Shave and a haircut", and Rooney gives [[FlippingTheBird the finger]] to the beat of "two bits".
** (holding vase of flowers, heading towards Bueller's guard dog) "Poochie, poochie, poochie... Look what Uncle Ed has for you, ya little ''fucker''."
* Rooney entering the school bus at the end. The kids give him a look that just ''screams'', "...''this'' is the Dean of Students we're supposed to be terrified of?"
* Ferris playing "The Blue Danube" with his synthesizer's cough sound samples.
** Even before that, he's using the program while talking to students from school over the phone. When talking to one particular girl, Ferris skips pressing individual keys, and instead holds several down at once. At one point he says, "Uh-oh!" and leans his entire arm on the whole keyboard, producing the most God-awful noise imaginable. The smile he gives sells the scene; could be more Matthew Broderick cracking up than Ferris.
* (Jeanie on the phone) "Well where is she? This is her daughter. Do you know where she is? Do you know when she'll be back? Do you know ''anything''??" (hangs up)
* "Ferris Bueller, you're my hero!" The tone in which it is said just makes it better.
* Rooney slowly peeking over the gate... only for the Bueller guard dog to bark him back down. The timing of the dog's bark is just ''perfect''.
* When Rooney visits a pizza bar, Ferris and Cameron are on TV at a baseball game, but Rooney is looking down at that moment. The instant he looks up, the TV changes to other footage, so he MissedHimByThatMuch. Also, this bit:
--> '''Rooney''': What's the score?\\
'''Pizza joint owner''': Nothin' nothin'.\\
'''Rooney''': Who's winning?\\
'''Pizza joint owner''': [[{{Beat}} ...]][[AskAStupidQuestion The Bears]].
* Grace's scene with Jeannie:
--> '''Grace''': Hello Jeannie, what's bothering you now?\\
'''Jeannie''': Is Mr. Rooney in?\\
'''Grace''': No, I'm sorry. He's not. May I help you?\\
'''Jeannie''': I seriously doubt it. When's he back?\\
'''Grace''': Well, I don't know. He's left the school grounds on personal business.\\
'''Jeannie''': What's ''that'' supposed to mean?!\\
'''Grace''': [[ShapedLikeItself Well, I believe that it's personal and it's none of your business, young lady.]]\\
'''Jeannie''': Nice attitude.\\
'''Grace''': Isn't Mrs. Hagel expecting you in Consumer Ed. class?\\
'''Jeannie''': Probably. (leaves)\\
'''Grace''': Mmm-mmm-mmm, what a little asshole.
* The "pre-recorded message" scene.
--> (Rooney buzzes the Bueller's doorbell)\\
'''Bueller''': (through intercom, weakly) Who is it?\\
'''Rooney''': It's Ed Rooney, Ferris. I'd like to have a word with you.\\
'''Bueller''': Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences.\\
'''Rooney''': Save it, Ferris. Come down here.\\
'''Bueller''': You can reach my parents at their places of business.\\
'''Rooney''': I'm not leaving until you come down here and talk to me.\\
'''Bueller''': Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being.\\
'''Rooney''': You're in big trouble, buster! Get ''down'' here.\\
'''Bueller''': Have a nice day.\\
'''Rooney''': Ferris! FERRIS!!! (bangs the door handle and tries the buzzer again)\\
'''Bueller''': Who is it?\\
'''Rooney''': You know ''God damn well'' who it is!\\
'''Bueller''': Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs- (a lightbulb in Rooney's head goes off and he realizes it's a recording)
* Rooney's secretary Grace, summing up Ferris Bueller's universal acclaim as TheAce (as well as giving a nice sociological breakdown of 80s high school subculture):
-->'''Grace:''' Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a [[TotallyRadical righteous dude]].
* Jeannie's conversation with Charlie Sheen's character. A riot all the way through.
--> '''CS''': Drugs?\\
'''Jeannie''': Thank you, no. I'm straight.\\
'''CS''': I ''meant'', are you in here for drugs?\\
'''Jeannie''': Why are ''you'' here?\\
'''CS''': Drugs.\\
'''Jeannie''': I don't know why I'm here.\\
'''CS''': Why don't you go home?\\
'''Jeannie''': Why don't you put your thumb up your butt?\\
'''CS''': You wear too much eye make-up. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore. You don't want to talk about it?\\
'''Jeannie''': With ''you''? Are you serious?\\
'''CS''': I'm serious.\\
'''Jeannie''': Blow yourself.\\
'''CS''': ''(glances down at his crotch)''\\
'''Jeannie''': All right, you want to know what's wrong?\\
'''CS''': I know what's wrong. I just want to hear you say it.\\
'''Jeannie''': In a nutshell, I hate my brother. How's that?\\
'''CS''': That's cool. What, did you blow him away or something?\\
'''Jeannie''': ''([[ActuallyPrettyFunny chuckles]])'' No, not yet. He was ditching school. When I went home to check, some guy was there. The cops picked me up for making a phony call.\\
'''CS''': What do you care if your brother ditches school?\\
'''Jeannie''': Why should he get to ditch if everyone else has to go?\\
'''CS''': ''You'' could ditch.\\
'''Jeannie''': Yeah. I'd get caught.\\
'''CS''': You're pissed off because he ditches and doesn't get caught, is that it?\\
'''Jeannie''': Basically.\\
'''CS''': Then your problem is you.\\
'''Jeannie''': Excuse me?\\
'''CS''': Excuse ''you''. You oughta spend more time worrying about yourself, a little less time worrying about what your brother does. That's just an opinion.\\
'''Jeannie''': Mmm. What are you, a psychiatrist?\\
'''CS''': No.\\
'''Jeannie''': Then why don't you keep your opinions to yourself.\\
'''CS:''' There's somebody you should talk to.\\
'''Jeannie:''' If you say "Ferris Bueller", you lose a testicle.\\
'''CS:''' Oh, you know him?\\
(''cut to shot of Jeannie clenching her fist so hard [[KnuckleCracking her knuckles crack]]'')
** And when we cut back to them, they're snogging. That sure didn't take very long, did it?
* The waiter's snooty/snotty attitude towards Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron: "I weep for the future."
* Ferris' smirk to both Rooney and [[AsideGlance us]] as Jeannie saves his ass.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1XgFsitnQw The best post-credits scene of all time.]]
* "[[IceCreamKoan I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind.]]"
