Ferris vs. Ferris: Super Bowl Ad and Movie Compared [VIDEO]

Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks.

What do you get when you combine an iconic movie with a buzz-winning Super Bowl ad? An overdose of awesome.

The skilled editors at AkooTV juxtaposed scenes from John Hughes’s 1986 masterpiece Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with Honda’s Super Bowl ad homage.

The ad has been a huge hit online. Zeta concluded that the ad had the most online buzz and it won Hulu’s AdZone contest for best Super Bowl ad. The ad has also ranked highly in sentiment analysis.

After looking at the two works side-by-side, we’re even more impressed with the dedication that RPA (the agency behind the CR-V spot) put into the project. The ad is absolutely loaded with cues and nods to the original film, from the background roller coaster passenger in a Detroit Red Wings jersey (a nod to the perpetually worried Cameron Frye) to the reappearance of ditzy secretary, Grace.

Our only quibble is that it would have been great if the instrumental song used in the museum sequence was a Smiths cover, a la the Dream Academy’s version of “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” used in the original film. Regardless, for this Ferris Bueller obsessive, this is an ad that continues to delight.

Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero. Let us know what you think of this mashup in the comments.
