As Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan get ready to face the music in their long-awaited third and final adventure — um, Bill & Ted: Face the Music — it’s worth taking a minute to reflect upon just how much this unlikely duo have rocked their way into our pop-culture lexicon. When writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon first stumbled upon the idea of combining the time-traveling fun of Back to the Future with, let’s say, the party-time excellence of “Wayne’s World” and the surfer slang of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (anachronisms be damned!), little could they know that their good-natured, bumbling teens and their fledgling band, Wyld Stallyns, would, as they do in the franchise, go on to change the world forever.
Whether you’re air guitaring in most-triumphant celebration or just having a really bogus day at work, here are 10 quotes we borrow all the time from our most-excellent friends Bill and Ted.
Party on, dudes!
Air Guitar
“Excellent”
“Bogus”
“Party on, dudes.”
“Yes, way.”
“Melvin!”
“Station!”
“Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.”
“We got totally lied to by our album covers.”
“Nah, I just have a minor Oedipal complex.”
