regarding not specifically teachers, but rather a type of adult characterization in general, art silverblatt asserts that the "adults in "ferris bueller's day off" are irrelevant and impotent. ferris's nemesis, the school disciplinarian, mr. rooney, is obsessed with 'getting bueller.' his obsession emerges from envy. strangely, ferris serves as rooney's role model, as he clearly possesses the imagination and power that rooney lacks. ... by capturing and disempowering ferris, rooney hopes to ... reduce ferris's influence over other students, which would reestablish adults, that is, rooney, as traditional authority figures." nevertheless, silverblatt concludes that "rooney is essentially a comedic figure, whose bumbling attempts to discipline ferris are a primary source of humor in the film". thomas patrick doherty writes that "the adult villains in teenpics such as ... "ferris bueller's day off" (1986) are overdrawn caricatures, no real threat; they're played for laughs". yet silverblatt also remarks that casting "the principal as a comic figure questions the competence of adults to provide young people with effective direction—indeed, the value of adulthood itself".
