Iconic coming-of-age director John Hughes passed away today at the age of 59, and we here at G4 are mourning silently in between our Feed updates, gadget reviews, Twittering and other general nerd activities. So it's only fitting that we bring back our own tribute to the Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off director with X-Play's old video game parody of The Breakfast Club.
Enjoy this 2006 video starring some very familiar faces. Rest in peace, John Hughes. There will never be another director who has molded an entire generation of youth as much as you.

This is great!! I grew up on John Hughes' movies, and loved every minute of this parody. The Breakfast Club was actually my favorite of his movies, although Some Kind of Wonderful is a very close second. Great job on capturing the spirit of one of the best movies of the 80's G4!!!

Best. Tribute. Ever. 'cause Sonic got a good review in that episode...
In all seriousness, though, damn shame to lose one of Hollywood's best directors like that.
Feris Bueller's Day Off was one of my favorite old school movies.
Now I'm going to look for that Code Monkeys episode "Dave's Day Off." I think you know why...
R.I.P. you will be missed...

@daftpunx,
We should start a petition to get G4 to be more like the old G4
daftpunx
I miss the old xplay so much. It's no where near as funny anymore. =/
I used to crack up.

Hmmm the only one i dont recognize from that skit is the person playing the basket case.

Strange. I never watched any of his movies, but I'm intrigued now. I'm sure some will be on tv in his remembrance soon. Oh, and you should do stuff like this more often.
Sessler was the best actor, definitely.
