    The scene with the teacher and janitor is the crucial decision of the movie. It was more than just a character that was a smart ass or put the principal in his place. It was a commentary on how kids grow up with immature ideas and how they try to avoid work and responsibility and how adults are worse because they had their time but they continue to make decisions like they were still kids and then try to govern kids at the same time.
    "You found out that it was actually work and that really bummed you out" Calling us adults out on our behavior and decisions made with the same immaturity that adults deride kids for. One of my favorite scenes in any movie.

      Michael Covel It really was that Carl knew that Dick hated being a teacher/vice-principal. You could say that Dick was going through a mid-life crisis, and Carl was basically voicing Dick’s frustrations at how his life isn’t what he wanted. Remember, Carl basically told Dick that he got old when he told him, “you wouldn’t like you when you were sixteen!”
      Also, when you think about it, Dick’s also in detention. There are plenty of things he’d rather do on a Saturday than spend nine hours with a bunch of shit-eating kids who hate him. Furthermore Carl also pointed out that Dick does care about what the kids think of him.
      Sorry for length; I could discuss that scene til the cows come home.

    What's funny is that although Carl called out the kids as a bunch of s***heads, none of them challenged him on it. Not even John Bender. Yes, Carl was an authority figure, but he was able to connect with those kids.

    I met John Kapelos in the summer of 1990 when he was filming scenes for a movie called The Bruce Curtis Story here in the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It freaked me out that I actually met a member of the cast of one of my all-time favorite movies, and he was the nicest guy you'd want to have a conversation with.

    Carl the janitor must've been the character, Mr. Ryan, although that surname didn't end up in the film credits. In the "group therapy" scene, Brian has the line, "Mr. Ryan found a gun in my locker." Plus, Carl immediately recognized Brian and said hello to him when he entered the library with his cleaning cart. Remember, John quipped to Brian, "Your Dad works here?"). If I'm wrong about Ryan being the janitor, then Mr. Ryan was possibly the head principal, with Rich Vernon being the ass't. principal. Thoughts?

    Carl was the one character the Jud Nelson character respected. Interesting that the ‘rebel’ was also the main teenager who already has a certain amount of respect for Carl and understood him. They probably had a previous interactions and he sensed that Carl viewed him as a human being and saw him beyond his rebel image.

    I do maintenance at a public school, in charge of the custodians. (After 22 years of industrial maintenance this stuff is a cakewalk.) I've noticed the teachers are 'friends' instead of instructors like when I was in school and there's this sort of arrogance on the part of the teaching staff with the 'I went to college' thing. Seeing some of them I honestly wonder what colleges are teaching these days....seems like a whole lot of nothing for a whole lot of money. (With them paying off loans I make more than them.)

    For years, Bender got me thinking Carl was Brian's dad, and not a joke of Bender's, I never read the cast, Janitor is Carl Reed, not Carl Johnson, to be Brian's dad. Good thing the truth is out, Carl Reed has no connection to Brian's Mom from the car. Also I gotta add the scene that Carl never said bye to Brian, if I assume he was his son. But I had to read the cast list. No one was related except the parents who drove their kids to school, except Bender's

He hates the kids, he hates his job, and probably hates life. Man of the year is now a lowly working class zero at the very bottom of the food chain.
