Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Bill & Ted is a series of comedy movies featuring Keanu Reeves as Ted Logan and Alex Winter as Bill Preston, two dimwitted though good-natured rock fans who find themselves thrown into fantastic adventures.The first two movies have their own pages: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)Expanded UniverseThe first film was followed by an Animated Adaptation by Hanna-Barbera, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, that was fairly faithful (and even had Alex Winter, Keanu Reeves, and George Carlin reprising their roles), while the second was followed by a forgettable live-action Recycled: The Series that featured none of the original cast (this new cast voiced the characters when the animated edition moved from CBS to Fox and DiC took over production). There was also a surprisingly well-made Eisner-nominated Comic-Book Adaptation, Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book, written and drawn by Evan Dorkin and published by Marvel Comics; several video games; and even a little-known stage musical which had a pretty short run but featured a couple of decent songs. There was also a cereal based on the TV show and a Video Game for the Atari Lynx loosely based on the first film.Since 1992, the Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood have used Bill and Ted in their annual Halloween Horror Nights event as Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, parodying that year's pop culture and entertainment. The 2009 event, for example, featured Twilight, Megan Fox (well, a male impersonator), Watchmen, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek (2009), and G.I. Joe, among many others.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)In 2007, the series' creators and writers, Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, approached Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves with an idea for a third movie in the series, and the pair eagerly signed on. News of the film got out in 2010, but it seemed to be stuck in Development Hell, though according to all involved that was simply because most films don't get announced this early in production. It was officially announced the film was in pre-production on May 8, 2018, with Winter and Reeves confirmed to reprise their roles. On March 20, 2019, Reeves and Winter announced that production had started and the film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 21, 2020.The film will focus on Bill and Ted in their 50s, dealing with the fact that they still haven't lived up to Rufus' expectations and made the world a utopia, and how the stress starts affecting their relationships with their wives and children. Things only get worse when people from the future come back and tell the duo that they have to write the song that will change the world right now. In order to find inspiration, the duo goes on another time adventure along with their daughters to meet with the greatest minds in musical history. Alex Winter has said that the goal of the movie is to evoke the spirit of the originals without succumbing to "retro cynicism".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |

Genius Ditz: Despite being uncomplicated slackers, Bill and Ted have a natural instinct for mastering the causal and paradoxical effects of time travel. Also, while their use of the English language is most unconventional and egregiously unorthodox, their vocabulary does seem to be more well developed than most teenagers, or for that matter most anyone. (Try reading that in their voices. IT FITS.) Bill not only knows what an Oedipal Complex is, he can recognize he has a minor case. Bill and Ted can communicate with and translate for people who speak French, Mongolian, and Ancient Greek. | |

Retroactive Preparation | |
| Bill & Ted / int_6c05a4f8 | comment |
Retroactive Preparation: As dumb as the pair can be, they have an intuitive understanding of this. In the first film, the two realize that since they have a time machine, they can do things like go back in time later to steal a key yesterday to get into a locked building now. This is practically elevated to a martial art in the second film, where the duo and the Big Bad try to out-prepare each other before pointing out that only the winner of the showdown can actually make use of it. | |

The Dividual | |
| Bill & Ted / int_72cc2b00 | comment |
The Dividual: Bill and Ted are of the Twindividual variation; even if they're not actually related and look completely different, they have almost the exact same personality (Bill seems to be slightly more practical-minded and Ted slightly more carefree, but the differences are minimal) and in the plots they're important as a duo, not as individuals. Joanna and Elizabeth are even more of an example; they're never seen apart and don't seem to have separate personalities at all. Given that they are sisters and seem to be the same age, they may even be actual (non-identical) twins — though this is never confirmed or denied. And then there's Station, who is literally one mind in two bodies, with the ability to merge back into one being when needed. | |

Covers Always Lie: In Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return, the final issue's cover promises a brawl between Bill and Ted in a Humongous Mecha shaped like Station, against De Nomolos in his own, two headed robot. The story does feature giant robots, but not the ones depicted, nor do they fight. In-Universe example in Bogus Journey. The boys complain that Hell does not resemble their album covers. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Bill & Ted / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: In Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Chuck DeNomolos has a band of rebels along with the evil robots Bill & Ted. The evil robots are destroyed and Chuck goes back trying to kill Bill & Ted again. Chuck's human henchmen just simply vanished. It's expected they'd be arrested and maybe Chuck's entire army is redeemed. There are Bill & Ted comic books by Boom Comics that pick up from the movie to alternate timelines. There might and might not be or maybe both new henchmen to chuck as his soldiers. In Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return 6 parts there are Chuck's troops and his brother Richie joined his band. Richie and Chuck are both redeemed as are his troops seen in the comics. It's got to be his entire army redeemed as there's never a chance to kill Bill & Ted forever. In issue 5 Grim Reaper chops up the guns of six of Chuck's troops. One of them is a woman. He then clobbers them on the hand of his ax. Also with the other half of Station brainwashed there are 3 men and 1 woman in issue 6 with that other guy. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Bill & Ted / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: There's no consistency in how time travel works in the Bill And Ted universe. They have a limited time to prepare for their history report in Excellent Adventure despite having a time machine (out of universe, this explains why they don't screw around with the infinite possibilities of time travel; in-universe, no good explanation is given), yet in Bogus Journey, they are able to undertake 16 months of intense guitar training in an unspecified time period and arrive back at the concert moments after they left. Actually, that one is pretty easy to explain. In the first movie, Rufus points out that they were off by one number when they meet themselves. This means that they can reach any allotment of time by dialing that number, and since time moves forward at a constant pace, all they had to do was wait until they could dial up the exact time they had taken off, which keeps the San Dimas Time rule solid. The "time game" is circular. 'After you win'', you'll grab what you need to win in the first place? It makes sense - relatively - that only the winners can play the game, but we're never told what Bill and Ted did to make them the winners, ie why Chuck De Nomolos couldn't say "no, I set up the key and the gag gun just to give you false hope before I vanquish you". | |

| Bill & Ted / int_c10da874 | comment |
The '80s: Excellent Adventure takes place in 1985 and the titular duo make plenty of use of trendy fashion and slang of the era and location. | |

Waxing Lyrical: The duo says to Socrates "All we are is dust... in the wind, dude." In the sequel, they answer St. Peter's question of what is the meaning of life with the lyrics to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Bill & Ted / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: In the script for The Musical, Princess Joanna is renamed "Princess Mary," possibly to avoid confusion with Joan of Arc. On the cast album, she's "Sarah." | |

Catchphrase | |
| Bill & Ted / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: "Excellent!" often followed by an Air Guitar duet. The two will gasp "Bogus!" when something bad happens. Also, Bill's "Shut up, Ted!" whenever Ted makes a comment about Missy's attractiveness. "I am Bill S. Preston, Esq.!" "And I am Ted 'Theodore' Logan!" "Together, we are Wyld Stallyns!!" This is to the point of being Once an Episode in the cartoon series. They also have "Catch you later, (X)!" spoken in unison. | |

In Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return, the final issue's cover promises a brawl between Bill and Ted in a Humongous Mecha shaped like Station, against De Nomolos in his own, two headed robot. The story does feature giant robots, but not the ones depicted, nor do they fight. | |

Surfer Dudes: Bill and Ted are from Southern California, so their speech includes a lot of So-Cal surfer slang even though they're not surfers and San Dimas is a fair distance inland. | |

Stacy's Mom | |
| Bill & Ted / int_fff67ce9 | comment |
Stacy's Mom: Bill (and later Ted's) stepmom, Missy. It helps that she's only three years older than Bill and Ted. Ted even asked her to the prom. It's lampshaded in the first movie, when Freud offers to psychoanalyze Bill during the history report, and he responds, "Nah, just got a minor Oedipal complex." | |
