Just finished watching Ferris day off, haven't seen this movie in ten plus years, and realized that Ferris is the king of breaking the 4th wall. Deadpool has nothing on this guy.

Deadpool wasn't the first in comics to do it. Check out John Byrne's She-Hulk series. (There may be earlier examples as well, but I'm not aware of any.)

And Ferris Bueller wan't the first in movies to do it either. Groucho Marx did some 4th-wall breaking.

Broderick was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and faced up to five years in prison, but was later convicted of the lesser charge of careless driving and fined $175, which the victims' family called "a travesty of justice." Martin Doherty, whose sister and mother were killed in the crash, later stated that he forgave Broderick, amid plans to meet with Broderick in 2003, in order to gain a sense of closure. As of October 2015, the meeting has not taken place. In 2012, Broderick had been featured in a multi-million dollar Honda commercial aired during the Super Bowl in which he was highlighted driving a CR-V in homage to the Ferris Bueller movie. Doherty was quoted as saying that Broderick "wasn't the greatest choice of drivers knowing his past.

 

So did Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner but not hearing a lot of things other than him/her getting awards. He/she was not even charged.
