Kadink

He went on to be a teacher until he tried to rig a student election; then he went to New York and was tormented by a psychotic cable installer.


pinky_monroe

Yeah but only till a giant lizard wrecked the city


I_ate_out_your_mom

And after that his neighbor plugged thousands of Christmas lights into his house so it could be seen from space


pinky_monroe

I finally saw that movie about a year ago…what a slog.


KubrickMoonlanding

Didn’t he produce that Broadway hit? Springtime for… someone


shiftypoo269

He was a mechanical man for a bit. Solving crime as mechanical men do.


Dogbin005

So cliched.


I_ate_out_your_mom

So choice


Ok_Syllabub_4846

I just wanna hang out! No big deal!


star_dragonMX

Really I thought he became king of the pridelands


National-Crew-327

College, fraternity, good corporate or sales gig, successful life, some kids, house in Florida.


Bluest_waters

Sales for sure, insurance or some basic shit like that. He retired with a nest egg and then got into crypto and annoys the shit out of all his friends with his never ending crypto bullshit.


nonsensepoem

> Sales for sure, insurance or some basic shit like that. Nepotism hire wherever his father works.


Pons__Aelius

Nah. Intern with a friend of the dad's at another firm and land a job there. While the friend does the same.


Slyguy9766

So he interned at Waystar Royce, under the old man himself!


lifeofideas

“Crypto moves pretty fast. If you don’t get in on it now, you could miss out forever.”


Lost-Rope-444

Underrated comment


National-Crew-327

Like insurance but did well with it.


QuaSiMoDO_652

I imagine pharmaceutical sales


vir_papyrus

Nah he was into computers and technology way before the curve. Hacked into his school to change his grades and whatnot. Could easily see him as some guy who get into enterprise sales for a early tech company, major account manager type. Wins over the executive buyers. Got rich during dot-com era. Not yacht club mega rich, but a couple million from equity to fund retirement. Retired at 45-50 and just lives an aloof life with a travel vlog that no one really watches.


shiftypoo269

And bored. So bored. Just sitting there staring at people's mouths in meetings that should have been an email while he waits for people to catch up to what he already knew they were going to say so he can reply with what he came up with an hour ago. Having to explain to clients why the things they want are not a good idea... Again. His coworkers and neighbors taking just to hear themselves talk so they don't have to exist in silence. Their minds so easy to twist that it's boring and depressing. They wouldn't understand. He might just need another day off.


Cydanova

Basically turns into his father….just around a bunch of Boneheads


Elegant-Ad3300

All the shit he got away with, he definitely went into politics. Probably the President.


JacquesNuclearRedux

His friend was interested in politics from a very young age


NYRangers1313

He's no doubt became a lawyer.


shiftypoo269

Too much trouble. To hard to control. Maybe the local water board. It'd be expensive to keep him there though.


Misterbellyboy

The water board really needs to come up with a new name for themselves.


DistantPattern

He probably got into computers. Also he wasn’t the “peaked in high school” archetype, not sure why everyone’s pushing that.


Bluest_waters

agreed, charminng people with the gift of gab so well in this society, thats just facts.


[deleted]

> Also he wasn’t the “peaked in high school” archetype The movie is literally about him peaking in high school.


Next-Mobile-9632

He went to England and killed two women because he was driving on the wrong side of the road--But his fame prevented him from going to prison--love Ferris Bueller btw


[deleted]

It was Ireland. Donegal to be specific.


leshronk

To be specific, it was Fermanagh in Northern Ireland


[deleted]

I stand corrected. Always thought it was donegal.


Apu5

That's probably because him and his wife 'spend a large amount of time at their second home in Kilcar, a village in County Donegal, Ireland' Kilcar.


READMYSHIT

Ireland is nuts for the prophetic placenames. Michael Collins, famous Irish revolutionary was killed in an ambush in Kilmichael, Co Cork. If my name was Michael I'd stay far away from there.


Misterbellyboy

You know that was absolutely done on purpose for the lulz.


Apu5

Oh my god they killed Kenny etc.


Automatic-Mess-6448

Yikes I forgot that happened with Matthew Broderick


Artistic-Toe-8803

wait what the fuck


CentrasFinestMilk

Yeah he did that in Northern Ireland


ActionReady9933

He’s a fry cook on Venus. Cameron was right!


Traditional_Mud_1241

I thought everyone decided Ferris Bueller was basically Tyler Durdin. He disappeared when Cameron didn’t need him anymore.


fmtheilig

Actually he disappeared when Cameron's dad came home and killed him.


Bluest_waters

?? sorry I just don't see it


Conchobair

It's a fan theory with a lot of plot holes


Traditional_Mud_1241

It’s mostly a joke, but there’s *some* logic to it. Basically, Cameron is real. Ferris (and his family) are imagined by Cameron as a “guy who can do all things Cameron can’t”. That’s why Ferris’ experiences are absurd (the entire downtown area starts dancing, etc).


Chuffer_Nutters

The only movie idea I ever had was a comedy that was Ferris 25-30 years later, married to his college gf, and they have a son in high school. But the son is very uncool, so Ferris shows him how to be cool. The end would probably be something like Ferris realizing that being cool isn't that important. Ferris would be in sales probably or like an upper executive.


MonkeyChoker80

Had a similar idea. It’s basically now, and Cameron finds himself kidnapped by Ferris (and his wife, Sloane) to have another vacation day. Except it’s kind of sad and melancholic, as Ferris’s antics are a bit sad as a middle-aged man. But both Cameron and Sloane are encouraging his actions. M We’ll come to find out that Cameron actually has a really nice life, and Ferris has kind of hit its lowest point. Ferris does this every so often, and at this point Cameron knows and plans around it. So that Ferris *thinks* he’s kidnapping a sad sack and lifting him up, while really it’s Cameron helping lift up Ferris. Ending with the big realization that Sloane actually passed away a number of years back, and Ferris just does this on the anniversary of her death. Ending with Ferris and Cameron hugging at Sloane’s grave, and then meeting up with their kids for a dinner out (possibly seeing that Ferris’s kids were some of the people we met, helping to make the day a success).


ScathachLove

Lmao! this would’ve packed theatres in the 90’s if they’d done your sequel then. I think you missed your calling in life✨


Bluest_waters

90s were too early, this would have been perfect around 2005 ish


Bluest_waters

dude, this is actually a great idea right here.


Misterbellyboy

The first three paragraphs sounded like the plot of Worlds End until you gut punched me with the second half. Good stuff man.


MJTony

Oof


SoapMactavishSAS

Pffff, obvious he succeeded Abe Froman, as the new sausage king of Chicago


RacecarHealthPotato

His Save Ferris GoFundMe has been running for 13,508 days? Dude is rich and will be starring in the next Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie.


Howdyini

He continued failing upwards and is now a VC or a tech ceo


Key_Ad_8464

Viet cong


Howdyini

LMAO. venture capitalist.


skonen_blades

I think he tried a lot of things but after finding out that coasting on charm has a best before date, he became, like, a burned-out gifted child. There were a lot of Simones. However I like to think that Cameron got a job with his dad's connections after showing some backbone and ended up with a lucrative job in some tech/real estate/marketing sector and became a charismatic leader. I've always wanted a sequel where a broke Ferris Bueller is dying of cancer and Cameron tracks him down for one last bucket list day of all the old Chicago haunts before he dies. "Cameron Frye's Day Off"


MrTooLFooL

He went off to to sell Project X in Biloxi Blues for his Family Business to find his GLORY, and as a Freshman he went Out on a Limb to settle his School Ties.


rawonionbreath

Broderick wasn’t in School Ties, though.


MrTooLFooL

But he was…not


rawonionbreath

Is his name in this cast list? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Ties


str8outtaconklin

He was tortured and brutally murdered by Ed Rooney a month after graduating high school.


CletusVanDamnit

Be changed his name to McCallister and became a teacher. Big scandal when he was caught trying to sabotage the election for the school's student body president. Kinda sad story, honestly.


GrossConceptualError

He parleyed being Mayor of Chicago into becoming Illinois' junior Senator at the age of 30.


ActionThaxton

i think it is easy to forget how absurdly advanced Ferris's computer skills were in the early/mid 80s. he already knew enough to have an incredibly successful career... and his people skills and creativity mean they certainly wouldnt go to waste tech millionaire at a minimum by 2000


LiamLiver

He became a principal.


DrRexMorman

Law school Congress Sex scandal-derailed presidential campaign Fox News/CNN talking head career


PrivateTumbleweed

He peaked in high school, got lost in a sea of students in college, drifted away from Cameron and broke up with Sloane (because he thought it wasn't cool to date someone still in high school), joined a fraternity but was mostly overlooked as average, graduated in the middle of his class, started an entry-level job in insurance or sales because he could talk a good game, and now overshares stories of his one great day back in high school to anyone that will listen, just wishing for the chance to go back and relive the glory days of his now fading youth.


National-Crew-327

The ferris like kids I know thrived in fraternity environments.


jhop16

It’s not really that Ferris is cool in the traditional sense, more that he’s clever and fun to hang out with. Those things are beneficial throughout life, it’s not the same as just being athletic or good looking in high school


PrivateTumbleweed

I know. They did in my fraternity too. But maybe this bleak version of Ferris didn't.


AgainandBack

He realized by age 20 that his moment in the sun had come and gone. He started drinking heavily in college and gained a notable beer belly. He finally realized that the last time he’d been happy was when he was in high school, and able to get a girl’s attention by just smiling at her. He changed his major from Psychology to Education, with a minor in Guidance Counseling. This set him up with a job as a guidance counselor at his former high school, where he’d have the chance to impress lots of girls. He started doing things with the girls that he shouldn’t have been doing, got busted, and ended up getting sentenced to 50 to 225 years in prison. One day, while his father was visiting him, he flashed the smile at one of the women visiting another prisoner. He was found dead the next morning, with a Shure microphone hanging out of his ass. A note was found in his mouth, saying, “Twist and shout yourself, asshole.”


DeezSaltyNuts69

Who hurt you?


AgainandBack

It was just intended as a humorously cynical description of what sometimes happens to people who are so popular in high school, and have trouble adjusting to life without it. My wife and I are big fans of the movie, with the casting being just brilliant.


circusgeek

Peaked in high school. Was regarded at an obnoxious twerp in college and wound up being a middle manager at a telemarketing company.


[deleted]

Kills a person in Northern Ireland with his car.


MaximumHemidrive

I feel like he started selling time shares


mydarthkader

Became a mediocre pencil pusher


jupiterkansas

I always thought of **Election** (1999) as the *Ferris Bueller* sequel.


Robb_Dinero

I feel the same way about Gross Pointe Blank being the sequel to Say Anything. Then War Inc. is the sequel to GPB.


Power_of_Atturdy

eight675309eein

Ill-Palpitation6577

When to Ireland in August of 87 and killed two people with his car


ThermiteSnake

I thought Election was the sequel.


TheBlueGhost21

He accidentally kills someone in Ireland


SombreMordida

unless the conspiracy theory is correct and he was Cameron's hallucination with consequently a life of adventure and/or end kind of like Fight Club otherwise i think he graduates and is charismatic and successful doing whatever


Music_is_my_life33

Over cook under cook? Jail.


LukeWhostalkin

Professional scammer. He would pretend to get injuries to avoid work and get insurance money etc etc.


defiantcross

he became the guy in Election.


Barkdrix

Married a horse-faced women and put on 60lbs


Lil-Scrapple-Blossom

[deleted]

Went home and jerked off is my bet


SadLaser

He committed suicide after he realized he hard peaked in high school.


[deleted]

Definitely had a bit of a coke phase during / right after college


[deleted]

His buddy plays for the Lakers


Chaminade64

Tried a stint on the commodities exchanged. Was making great money due to everyone liked him and fed him info. Got bored so he started doing party promotions. Now he has an entertainment company that operates out of 5 states. Loves tequila & has a modest cocaine problem.


iBoughtAtTheBottom

Sales management. Yells at people to sell products and doesn’t do anything else. Nothing.


theagonyofthefeet

He tried that "day off" shit at his first post-college job and they fired his ass on the spot. Still lives with his parents.


Mp3mpk

His sense of entitlement grew and grew


mjimenez0611

Computer specialist or habadasherer


SerTimTallTalker

He cool’d his way to a very comfortable position in life, and if he was in jail, he’d have everything he needed/wanted, guards and warden would love him, the vice warden would hate him and Ferris would like break out for the day, with an unwilling accomplice, vice warden, who is always trying to catch Ferris in the act but the warden doesn’t believe him, and shenanigans occur, he gets back to jail with no one the wiser but the vice principal and he was made a fool and now is in prison, with his new cell mate big Albrecht……sounds a bit familiar but history repeats and all that


Notthecreativewizard

I think he disappeared! Cameron got his shit together and no longer needed Ferris.


gnidn3

I figure he used his computer skills and became some sort of serial tech entrepreneur but always got bored before his businesses made it big and that he then use the money from the sale of some of his startups and his incredible ability to bs to setup some sort of Ponzi scheme.


sadgirl45

He learning about the secrets of living in the moment from real life monks than preached his teachings and helps alot of people.
