This is probably one of those things that only makes since if you don’t actually go back and watch the movie, but there is a theory that Ferris Bueller is the original Fight Club. Nah, there wasn’t a bunch of fighting that you missed or don’t remember, here’s the thing. You know how Ferris was super cool, couldn’t do anything wrong and everyone loved him? You know how Cameron was a complete spineless loser. Remember how Cameron talked to himself and Ferris always talked to the camera?
That is because Ferris doesn’t actually exist. Ferris is Tyler freaking Durden and only exists in Cameron’s mind.
Don’t believe me? Watch this.
Ferris is narrating from nowhere and Cameron is talking to himself. It damn near looks like the scene where Jack from Fight Club beats himself up. Okay, maybe this only makes sense if your are high when you watch Ferris Bueller back, but there is an underground community dedicated to this stuff.
I say it’s real. No one is that big of a loser…or a winner.

nahhhh…this theory only works if you’re high. Unlike Tyler, we know Ferris’ entire life from his POV. but this joint does deal in extremes of Id, ego, and super ego – classic shit!
@OSU, I beg to differ.
The concept is pure genius, whether it was written that way or not.
I could see how someone could get baked up and watch a little Ferris Bueller (watched this joint on saturday morning actually) and start developing some conspiracy shit. This theory belongs on “theforbiddenknowledge.com” right up there next to the freemason dogma and their New World Order.
I love conspiracy, and I love wacky theories, and this is one of the better ones I have come across in a long, LONG time.
Damn you Brock, just Damn you.
I’m jackin this shit, or at least linking to it on Twitter.

This was a damn good catch.
I always thought an alternate subtitle for this movie should be “The Liberation of Cameron Frye”, so yeah, this theory makes sense. So did Cameron actually bone Sloan?
