To the mods: this is a well-known scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The scene takes place in a high school classroom where a boring teacher is discussing economics. Yes the dialogue includes the phrase “Republican controlled House of Representatives” but this absolutely in no way should be considered a political post. It is a scene from a teen comedy, full stop. Please don’t make it out to be something it isn’t.

Loved how we all knew him as the boring History professor from Ferris Bueller's Day Off meanwhile, previously, he was a lawyer and later speechwriter for Nixon and Ford. Similar to Mr. Tuttle from Saved by the Bell who before portraying Bayside's resident driver's ed teacher and thorn in Mr. Belding's side was an accomplished lawyer and law clerk. But to us, it was "pushy, pushy...move your tushy!"

Ferris is that kid who skips class but still knows all the facts.
