REASONS TO LOVE FERRIS BUELLER:
Because he’s impossibly cool, a rebel we wish we were who thumbs his nose at the soul-crushing and relatable nightmare of high school in order to have awesome adventures and help his neurotic best friend experience an epiphany about his own place in the world. He is us, but how we’d like to be.

REASONS TO LOVE MATTHEW BRODERICK’S FERRIS-CENTRIC HONDA COMMERCIAL:
Because he’s a self-referential movie actor, a pampered doughy guy who thumbs his nose at a cushy job many of us would kill to have in order to have some mundane, middle-aged adventures and help no one but himself to experience…well, some driving around in a new car? He is us, but how we’d be if we really truly hate ourselves.
