But seeing it on YouTube, in the context it was presented in, I get really frustrated. It's really just crappy manipulation because it's trading off of nostalgia from a movie that we all enjoyed some time ago, and associating it with a stupid car. Broderick or Ferris have nothing to do with a Honda. It could be argued that "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was about teen angst and rebellion. This is the opposite of that. This commercial is about buying in and consumerism and conformity, while still trading of the emotional capital of the exact opposite. And that it why it is lame.

There wasn't a single worthwhile joke here, and while all the story ideas may have been clever, they weren't capable of sustaining anything longer than an SNL sketch, if that. If people are really looking for B-movie horror with some laughs, I would direct them toward Tremors or some of Peter Jackson's early work instead. Hell, watch Evil Dead 2 for the umpteenth time and quote all the dialogue, but don't waste your time with Chillerama. In this case, One Night Only is one night too many.
