"These are not them! You've captured their stunt doubles!"
Hahaha
Find them!! Find theeeem!!
Haha. Nice.
Lonestaaaaaarrrr!
"Turn around please"
Imagine Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter finding out they were no longer needed to actually do the voices for their own characters and being replaced by the two random cosplay looking guys. It's the ultimate insult.
Wait were they really interested in doing the voices? Usually these cartoon spinoffs always hire different voice actors (Ghostbusters) because the original actors aren't interested in doing the voices for so little money compared to a movie
@@kevinr.3542 it originally had their voices ,then switched to stupid tv show voices
@@kyotheman69 I had heard a story, probably before the internet so who knows, that they did the first series in preparation for the 2nd movie to get fully back into the roles, so doing a second animated series would be a bit pointless after doing the movie.
@@kevinr.3542 Ernie Hudson actually auditioned to reprise his role in The Real Ghostbusters, but they chose Arsenio Hall instead for some reason.
@@KasumiKenshirou thats hilarious. Reminds me of how they got Lorenzo Music (garfield) to do the voice of Peter Venkman (bill Murray) and then later Bill did the voice of Garfield when Lorenzo couldn't.
I love how the dude playing Ted is supposed to be a high schooler but looks 35
looks like a bootleg keanu with aids
When you order Keanu reeves on wish
It was a rough time after Samurai broke up 🤣
idk man, he looks like a 60s hippie picked up from the streets.
At that point 35 or 53, what's the difference?
This is something I always forget about, remember every 5-10 years and then forget again.
Hey, quick question...have you ever made it out from between those two pipes? 😅😅😅😅
Srsly though...THE Lonely Goomba! I can only say one thing here...
EXCELLENT! *air guitar sounds*
😁😁😁😁😍😍😍😍
Ya i have the youtube algorithm too
Nature finds a way to protect us...
With good reason.
I love it when the channels I'm subscribed to seem to end up watching the same videos as me. It makes sense I guess, the Al Gore rhythm would see us as liking the same kinda things
I ACTUALLY sat through this whole series on RUclips the other week. Don't do it kids, do drugs instead!
Which isn't quite to say, "don't waste your drugs on these shows" As the Dude Turns is a potential epiphany!
why not both
That bad huh?
@@BobJP77 ruclips.net/video/CKXFbUQKva4/видео.html
You tell me
Pffft. 😂🤣
Back in the early nineties, I remember seeing Alex Winter as a guest on the Arsenio Hall show. Arsenio brought up the then upcoming series, and Alex basically just told the audience the truth, that the show just wasn't very good, and to avoid it. I remember him saying that they (the executives at Fox) initially wanted him and Keanu Reeves to come back, but then in their pitch telling them they wanted to make the humor more like the ''Porky's'' movies. Wisely Alex and Keanu passed.
Keanu wasn't a star yet, but if the execs weren't total morons about it it could have been a success!
ruclips.net/video/kCO6JNxa7rk/видео.html this is the interview he was on about, hilarious to see him straight up say it sucks.
Dude, my grandfather totally grew up in the black-and-white days, when everything in the world was in black and white.
I even have the photos to prove it!
lol
Dude!
@@fanfaretloudest Sweet!
Is this true ? Sorry I not from ameica
That sounds most bodacious. But like, dude, when was color invented? The invention of color must have been a totally triumphant endeavor.
Honestly I think that black and white episode was probably the most creative. . . It seems like with most of this they were going with a persistent 4th wall breaking style of humour, which is enough to example them seeing in black & white.
It's a fun idea (though not exactly original) but it doesn't make sense in the Bill and Ted universe. It's a time machine and they go to the real past, it should be a naturalistic past.
@@trinityj1 to be fair the booth can traverse different dimensions as confirmed in Face The Music so technically if possibilities of an infinite multiverse are truly infinite then a version of the 1920’s that’s black and white would exist
Okay must admit... the “missing out” on the backside joke got a good chuckle out of me lol
That was pretty good lol
"Well then ur missing out" thats the part i laughed at lol
What better way to celebrate the release of Bill and Ted 3 then by taking a look at their short lived tv show that no one remembers.
I know right!
Maybe we chose to forget? Lol
Just because you’re told people don’t remember it doesn’t mean that they don’t.
I remember it, unfortunately. I have all the episodes on old vhs tapes. I only keep them for posterity
Hi dude
One thing that speaks to the greatness of the characters of Bill and Ted is that even uber crappy versions of them are still pretty excellent. Be excellent to each other
The new bill and ted movie is coming soon
Jon C.M coming soon? It’s been here since Friday august 28th a whole day before your comment
I watched the live action show about a year ago and really liked it after getting used to the new actors. Could of been a really good show probably maybe
Reiko Mcdouble he’s probably living in the past
@@BruceLeroyUK just a few weeks tho lol 😬
Lol, imagine replacing Keanu Reeves, and George Carlin in ANYTHING.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
Rick Overton is kinda the shit, though.
Talk about filling those shoes!
How dare you disrespect Alex Winter
Alex Winter is going to see this and get bummed out!
But he's a really good actor too!!
Back to the Future also had an animated series, with Christopher Lloyd as “Doc” in his lab bookending the episode. Then they’d do a home science experiment conducted by Bill Nye.
Wow I don't remember that.
Nick Hill This guy does a pretty good retrospective on it: ruclips.net/video/Zu8pI10doFY/видео.html
and the cartoon version of Doc was voiced by someone else.
@@SharpDesign it was the same guy that voices Homer Simpson
@@ShintoRyu he did great. I didn't know it wasn't Christopher Lloyd in the cartoon when I was a kid.
Maybe the fake Bill and Ted in Bogus journey should have been the guy from the sitcom
"These are _most_ unconvincing duplicates"
"I dunno, I think that one sounds a lot like me."
Full on Robot Chubby!!
That would be cool but too meta.
Damn thats a good fucking idea
@Jackie Daytona well the point would be that the robots would act like nothing changed even when they do look different
Its like the you walked into an Aldi's and they had a Bill and Ted DVD.
"Mom I want Bill & Ted!"
"We have Bill & Ted at home."
Bill & Ted at home:
Will & Fred Awesome adventure
This isnt funny anymore
Stupid
@@BBAERSTANCE1 A strike by the comment police
@@rossfrank498 Why couldn't she get real Bill & Ted?
"More like an SNL skit" is exactly what I thought the second the first clip started.
Rest In Peace George Carlin, the excellent adventures won’t be nearly as cool without you
New Boys on the Corner. We all know who he was talking about...
O-Town.
Unsync?
Backstreet Boys which is another Euphemism for child sex trafficking of boys and young men.
Um, I hope the 2 replies were being facetious. I'll get you started. New Kids... you can fill in the rest.
@@jimhuber I caught that also
Fucking o town lol
Evan Richards was just a name he used for showbiz. He has since returned to his real name Rich Evans.
Rich Evans TLM ?
@@joerig96 TLM? I can only assume that means "The Ladies Man."
Lol. That gaves me a tums festival
The Bill and Ted show looks like a poorly made bootleg you'll find on a New York sidewalk.
Or a cheap porn parody
You might be giving it too much praise. Bootlegs sometimes are really fun to watch. This seems mildly interesting at best.
Sweded
@@KevinSmith-gu7fb I love that movie.
😂😂😂
I'm a kid of the 80s and 90s and remember watching the cartoon Bill and Ted but never ever even heard of the live action show 🤷♂️ I see that I didn't miss much. At least we had Sliders
Sliders was awesome, I remember watching it was on tv, then watching it again on HULU till they dropped it so I bought the DVD box set. (side note, buy the separate season version of the DVDs, the complete box set has horrible picture quality)
Sliders even had an ongoing parody in Family Guy, which was fun.
Crying Man!
😊
The makers of Speed 2 should’ve learned from this that you don’t replace Keanu Reeves and succeed
I’m in a state where the movie theaters are still closed. So I’m driving almost 2 hours today to a theater in another state just to see Bill & Ted Face the Music.
It’s $20 on demand and it cost us $18 for us to see it in a large screen theater, that plus all our theaters have been shut down in our state since March. It was totally worth it.
@VA BEAR watching a movie at home is never going to compare to a theater, and I have a projection set up with a seven foot wide screen. I'll take a stadium theater any day over my home theater. Much larger screen, much better audio. Don't know anyone with a home theater that can compare to that.
@@_Fair_Warning "It’s $20 on demand and it cost us $18 for us to see it in a large screen theater" and 4 hours worth of gas and concessions. My wife and I ordered a Pizza and just blew the extra four bucks to buy the movie and spent less than you.
Tim Didn’t spend anything on concessions because we went to a nice dinner afterwards. 2hr 4min and $12 in gas in the ecomobile. I’ll take that any day over watching it on a tv, and unless you live in NY, NJ, or Il, the word pizza is highly dubious.
And this is why the United States has the highest Covid-19 outbreak. People going all over the fucking place. Taking it here and there.
They were black and white because they didn't travel in time they traveled into a black and white Noir comic book
That's why she was fascinated by the 3 dimensions of our reality.
That was pretty obvious
Oh wow, that wasnt a joke...
My wife and I saw the third installment last night at drive in. It was a most excellent time video dude. I feel it was a most triumphant movie. Party on dude
Great dude
That New Boiz on the corner joke from Rufus made me laugh way harder than I probably should have.
This would feel like the mix of the never aired Blazing Saddles sitcom and a Bill and Ted sequel.
I rewatched the first two movies and then watched the new one. It had just the level of silliness I expect from a "Bill & Ted" movie, while also having a heartwarming message. I enjoyed it very much and I think it was a fitting end to the trilogy.
Actually the whole black and white segment is hilarious. But I can see why that show is best forgotten.
I remember seeing the medieval episode and the Elvis Presley episode on Fox. Aside from the general plot, I remember the guy who played Bill was also in the Rock & Roll high school forever movie with Cory Feldman.
I never actually saw any of this tv series, but the idea of a completely black and white episode of Bill & Ted in the '30s actually sounds really creative. I think there was an episode of Moonlighting that was that way too, if I recall.
Did you even watch the episode? It’s black and white because they traveled into a comic /mystery magazine.
I notice Wiki says in season 2 of the cartoon the time machine was altered so they could travel into works of fiction or shrink down and go into the human body. Apparently the live-action show also used the altered time machine.
It still doesn’t make sense that she’s still black and white when they travel into the present time/real world. She goes on and on about how she’s not flat anymore but she’s still black and white for some reason?
It was just horrific. And they didn't even bother to have this Ted dye his hair black
Bill and Ted day, that’s awesome actually. That needs to be a thing
should be 6/9 lol
@@SharpDesign I decree 6/9 as Global Bill & Ted day.
Tbh that black and white idea on that episode is good.
Thanks for this video! I’m certain well put together videos like this are much more worth watching than the forgotten series featured in it themselves. Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
While on the subject of Alex winters, I’d love to see you talk about his filmed FREAKED on your podcast.
mason harstad Good idea !
Keanu was dog boy;)
Yessss I love that movie
Yes yes yes
This might be worse than Fox's failed attempt at a Ferris Bueller television series.
Are you talking about Parker Lewis Can't Lose...? Because it ran for three season, I wouldn't call that a failure, and it was fairly decent. Unless you're talking about the actual Ferris Bueller TV series that cold be called a failure, but that was on NBC.
@@Vondruke Oh, I got the network wrong. Thanks.
I do remember that Parker Lewis show, though. It wasn't horrible, at least for people my age at the time.
This series also tries to copy the very “smart” dialogue with their impressive vocabulary, by writing much less impressive dialogue with much less impressive vocabulary, thinking they’re “nailing” it most likely.
"We don't know how to be ourselves yet" terrible line.
This Bill kind of looks like Pauly Shore cosplaying as Bill
Joe, I love all your videos, and this one is the most
*excellent.*
How about an episode on Parker Lewis Can’t Lose or Get A Life?
Let’s give early Fox some credit for their good/groundbreaking shows.
Parker Lewis was a rip off of Ferris Bueller.
@@LuisHernandez-hw7dj Think they even made jokes about it being a ripoff in a couple episodes.
Synchronize Swatches!
Justin Coleman
Agreed. Parker Lewis and Get A Life were pretty good.
@@LuisHernandez-hw7dj Yeah but Parker Lewis was pretty good , the Ferris Bueller tv show at the same time was pure trash and promptly cancelled.
Surely that should be "technically five sets of Bill and Teds" since there are evil and good robot versions in Bogus Journey.
Stop! My head hurts!
I think he included them
@@derrikadams3375 No, he didn't. He said "four sets of Bill and Teds". He forgot the good robots.
I loved the Bill & Ted cartoon. I never knew the live action series existed.
I appreciate you taking back to my childhood with all your videos
Looked like an AWESOME series. Certainly had a PERFECT cast and well written and perfect transition keeping true the films.
I just don't know how I missed it.
Didn't even know about the show until afew days ago when Cinema Snob covered the show and cartoon.
Teds actor looks too old for high school and the characters act like stoners. In the movie they weren't as one dimensional. Anyway Happy Bill and Ted Day
There was one funny bit where there was a period scary horror episode, instead of doing "air guitars" they played an "air organ"
This is truly amazing stuff
Thank you for that most awesome video, I knew about the cartoon I had no idea about live action, and face the music was wild 😎
Even if I was a starving actor just dying to land my first role, i would never take a role on a bill and ted spin off tv series.
Shout out to Evan Dorkin's comic book adaptation of excellent adventures.
Excellent dudes! I just finished binge watching all 3 movies forthe first time! Gotto say, was the most expuisite movie I've ever seen in a while! Rock on Dudes!
Thank you sir for the channel
Is the NBC series “Eerie, Indiana” (appx 1991) considered a forgotten failure? My memory is that it was too clever to appeal to a large audience.
People said Frasier sucked while the people that liked it said you weren't smart enough to get it, did in fact suck like the big bang theory not being funny.
So yes, your show Erie is a forgotten failure like the laugh tracks after comedic puns
Erie Indiana had multiple seasons
@@BBAERSTANCE1 Eerie, Indiana only had 1 season, there was a spinoff years later called Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension
IMDB indicates the series had 19 episodes, which is more than a lot of shows but it was not two seasons. I enjoyed the few episodes I remember watching. I liked the actor Jason Marsden in the role of Dash X. The series sure had a lot of different directors working on it. Do not know if that was intentional or one of the reasons the show failed.
I loved that show, gonna rewatch it! Thnx! And you can't compare Fraiser to the Big bag of shit theory!
That explains how George Carlin had new dialogue in the new movie. He had recorded for the Cartoon.
Never knew this existed!! Awesome content man!!
Never heard of the live action show, but saw mention of the animated one in tv listings. Haven't seen Face the Music yet, but looking forward to it. Thanks, Joe!
You gotta give the live action series actors credit for trying to sound like Keanu and Alex. Problem is they remind me of Dumb and Dumber. It's like they blended Bill and Ted with Dumb and Dumber
Oddly enough, I remember the live action series but I have no memory of having ever actually watching it which is weird because I distinctly remember watch the Honey I Shrunk the Kids series but I have no memory of any of the episodes.
bigbaddawg101 That’s the hallmark of quality television . . .
I had never once heard of this show until now. The only reason I knew of the cartoon was simply for trivia that the actors reprised their roles but were later replaced. Funny how this show was the reason why but it was never brought up in tandem. It truly is a forgotten failure.
I loved the live action series... for the small amount of time that it was out!
This is like watching the alternate version of the Duke Boys. 😀
What where they thinking when they did all of this?
"There's trouble afoot" since we're finally deep diving into this adaptation of our excellent dudes' "timeless" adventures. Stay safe and keep it up!
This is such an excellent channel.
That guy who played keanu reeves (Ted) role in the sitcom has a big ass fricken neck man!
5:18 - If you actually watched the series and not just random clips you would know they went in a comic book.
Thank you! That was driving me crazy when he was covering that one!
It's still a funny gag, even if they were just in the 1930s. It felt like it was straight from the movies. Don't know why he hated it so much.
Hey it's the "Well aKtUaLly..." guy, Dean M.
Lol the hubris of redubbing the original actors in the cartoon with store-brand knock-offs is amazing
It's playing at Bengies, the local drive-in. I'm 10 minutes away. Also Clueless (an all-time favorite movie of mine), and Mean Girls (which is another good movie).
I kinda feel sorry for people who don't have drive-ins anywhere nearby.
Growing up I really enjoyed the Bill and Ted cartoon series. The first cartoon series with the original cast was really good. I was always confused as why they changed the cartoon. I had no idea that it was changed to coincide with the live action series. Just from the looks of it, the live action show seemed terrible and your right, it looks more like a SNL parody than a proper tv show.
'Mistakes were made' should be FOX's Tagline.
Face the Music was a fantastic follow up, not everything lands, but stands perfectly aside the first two.
I remember this. Could never wake up early enough to watch it.
It's Keanu Reeves, anything he does is a classic.
Adam Reed needs to do a spoof of this show on Adult Swim.
“Is Ted Nugent going to be there?”
“Unfortunately, no.”
dodged one there
I just watched the latest movie and I’m happy I got to watched this right afterwards
This is not as bad as I expected. I'd watch this!
0:03 Dear god that is some hard cringe.
Must have been a bad SNL sketch.
man i dont know, the actor playing Bill i absolutely recognize from somewhere but he just doesnt look like Bill. the actor playing Ted is just sort of goofy looking, and he looks more like some strange de-aged Sonny Bono than he does like Ted.
They looked nothing like them but they get an A for effort.
The tv Bill didn't work for me at all. The tv Ted looked closer to the character but the actor looked too old, at least facially.
It's not Cory Haim, if that's who you were thinking of.
@@reactions5783 NO i had to look him up because i was curious why i recognized him. he was the son in the film "down and out in Beverly hills" as well as a few other things i liked back in the 80s. BUT it looks like he did actually do at least one film with Corey Feldman LOL
he was also the Errol Flynn kid in the "kick the can" segment of the twilight zome film. which was my favorite segment, but EVERYONE else hated it and says it was the worst segment.
I need to check this out. Reminds me of Weird science and now I need to go rewatch the show
Bill & Ted TV cast: "I guess airhead bro comedy is over."
[Paulie Shore enters.]
It really doesn't look all that bad to me, tbh...
The new guys actually did really great impressions i thought.
Both actors have dead eyes and flat deliveries. I think you gave them both way too much credit.
Haha I remember watching this when it first premiered. I couldn't wait to check it out back then when I saw the previews and watched all the episodes as they aired. At the time I thought it was a cool show and awesome to get a series based on the movie, but yeah,lol, looking back now you see all the holes.
You got me on this one I had no idea even existed
I'm cringing as hard now as I did then.
Damn, it's hard to imagine a time when Keanu Reeves wasn't too much of a big-shot to do voice acting work in some cheesy Saturday morning cartoon...
But even crazier is like...it's one thing when an actor like Keanu gets a little too big time to do a cartoon like that, either because they're too big for it or be theyve become too expensive to keep....but to actually REPLACE an actor like Keanu...not only that, but to replace the original stars of the films?! What a buncha dipshits.
Aside from the voices, you can tell the difference between the Hanna-Barbera and the DIC version because Ted has actual eyes instead of black dots. Also they could go inside stuff like books and TV shows, shrink themselves, and some other thing if I remember.
"When I dream, I dream in Black and White..." - Martha & The Muffins (Black Stations White Stations).
Bill and Ted 3 was a disappointment that should have never, ever, ever been made. Bogus Journey ended it perfectly. I don't count Bill and Ted 3.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand the new film was awful.
Most triumphant video youtube dude.
lol that boardroom meeting pitching these shows.
‘Nailed it. Raises for everyone!’
" This was totally bogus and non-triumphant "
This was a most triumphant video!!
Thanks for watching!
I was thinking about this the other day. I thought for a bit I might have just dreamed it.
Kinda wish I could’ve gone the rest of my life being unaware of this disaster.
