He was an advocate for teenagers as complete human beings, and he honored their hopes and their dreams. That's what you see in his movies."<ref name="alan-ruck-remembers" />

{{anchor|Matthew's Day Off}}Broderick starred in a television advertisement prepared by [[Honda]] promoting its [[Honda CR-V (fourth generation)|CR-V]] for the 2012 [[Super Bowl XLVI]]. The ad pays homage to ''Ferris Bueller'', featuring Broderick (as himself) faking illness to skip out of work to enjoy sightseeing around Los Angeles. Several elements, such as the use of the song "Oh Yeah", and a valet monotonously calling for "Broderick... Broderick...", appear in the ad. A teaser for the ad had appeared two weeks prior to the Super Bowl, which had created rumors of a possible film sequel.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ferris-bueller-ad-story,0,5397206.story | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120722082332/http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ferris-bueller-ad-story,0,5397206.story | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2012-07-22 | title = Honda releases complete Ferris Bueller ad | work = [[Chicago Tribune]] | date = 2012-01-30 | access-date = 2012-01-30 | first = Rob | last = Manker }}</ref> It was produced by Santa Monica-based [[Rubin Postaer and Associates|RPA]] and directed by [[Todd Phillips]].<ref name="adweek.com">{{cite news | title = Honda Unveils Ferris Bueller Ad, and It Is Awesome | date = 2012-01-30 | url = http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/honda-unveils-ferris-bueller-ad-and-it-awesome-137831 | work = AdWeek | access-date = 2012-01-31 | archive-date = January 31, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120131163625/http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/honda-unveils-ferris-bueller-ad-and-it-awesome-137831 | url-status = live }}</ref> [[Adweek]]'s Tim Nudd called the ad "a great homage to the original 1986 film, with Broderick this time calling in sick to a film shoot and enjoying another day of slacking."<ref name="adweek.com" /> On the other hand, ''[[Jalopnik]]''{{'}}s Matt Hardigree called the spot "sacrilegious".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://jalopnik.com/5880570/save-ferris-from-hondas-sacrilegious-super-bowl-ad | title = SAVE FERRIS From Honda's Sacrilegious Super Bowl Ad | work = [[Jalopnik]] | date = 2012-01-30 | access-date = 2012-01-30 | first = Matt | last = Hardigree | archive-date = February 1, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120201193630/http://jalopnik.com/5880570/save-ferris-from-hondas-sacrilegious-super-bowl-ad | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="Tele">{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/filmvideo/9050065/Ferris-Bueller-stars-in-Honda-Super-Bowl-advert.html |date=January 30, 2012 |title='Ferris Bueller' stars in Honda Super Bowl advert |format=Article, video |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |access-date=January 5, 2017 |archive-date=January 6, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170106105447/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/filmvideo/9050065/Ferris-Bueller-stars-in-Honda-Super-Bowl-advert.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Music===
The film's influence in popular culture extends beyond the film itself to how musical elements of the film have been received as well, for example, [[Yello]]'s song "[[Oh Yeah (Yello song)|Oh Yeah]]". As Jonathan Bernstein explains, "Never a hit, this slice of Swiss-made tomfoolery with its varispeed vocal effects and driving percussion was first used by John Hughes to illustrate the mouthwatering must-haveness of Cameron's dad's Ferrari. Since then, it has become synonymous with [[avarice]].

The re-released single reached No. 23 in the U.S; a US-only compilation album containing the track ''[[The Early Beatles]]'', re-entered the album charts at No. 197. The version heard in the film includes brass overdubbed onto the Beatles' original recording, which did not go down well with [[Paul McCartney]]. "I liked [the] film but they overdubbed some lousy brass on the stuff!
