I’m 41 and I still randomly ask my husband “Do you know when the Mongols ruled China?” And he pops back “Dammit, you’re a history professor stop asking me that question!”
Halloween my senior year of high school circa 1992 my best friend and I went as Bill and Ted. I was Ted. During the costume contest in the auditorium they let everyone in costume up on stage to tell what they were. Most people were just like "I'm a mummy"..."I'm a robot"...etc. We kicked out the jams and did it full on with energy: "I am Bill S. Preston Esquire!....and I am Ted Theodore Logan....and together we are WYLD STALLYNS!!!" The entire auditorium went nuts. We won the costume contest, got a free large pizza, and our pictures in the town newspaper.
In the future scenes, the three folks up high are the "Three Most Important People In the World". That's Martha Davis, guitar player for The Motels; Clarence Clemmons "The Big Man", sax player for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band; and Fee Waybill from The Tubes. "Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!"
This movie's message is so good. SO good. All you need to be a good person is to be kind, and not give up. You don't need to be powerful, or super talented, or even particularly smart; just two things that you can choose to do, every day.
Anyone that knows Alex Winters' name can usually also name The Lost Boys and Bill & Ted movies for him, but that's all lol. But that still puts us way ahead of most of the world who dont know his name haha ;)
Abe Lincoln was a humble man, but in his younger days he had legendary strength. He is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame! He beat the toughest guy in the local gang in his town, Jack Armstrong. Jack used an illegal (and painful) move on Abe, so Abe picked Jack up over his head, and threw him to the ground, knocking him out. 👍😎🇺🇲
"San Dimas High School football RULES!" Billy Madison does the callback to that line at the end of the jeopardy style quiz. "Knibb High School football RULES!"
The only thing I think I've ever seen the actor who plays Socrates in was "Scrooged". He played the waiter who gave Bill Murray the eye ball in the drink.
Yeah, I still kind of do. Even though I _can_ take him seriously, and have a lot of respect for where he has gone in his career, when it comes to Keanu, the first thing I’ll always think is “Whoooaaa…” 😄
I love when they're walking out of school at the beginning of the movie. Ted is wearing a backpack and carrying a huge stack of books. Bill is only holding a single sheet of paper.
"The one on the left... she bad!" Princess Joanna is played by Diane Franklin, an underrated 80's cutie. Put Amityville 2 on a Halloween list and Better Off Dead on a Christmas/New Years list for more of her 👍
The mall scenes were filmed in the Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, Arizona, including the ice skating rink. The Ziggy Piggy scene was filmed in the old Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour in Metrocenter. The mall is no longer open. These scenes bring back memories from my youth.
@@sikksotoo I remember that too. It was named that before they built the roller coasters. True, it wasn’t used for the movie, but I thought it was worth a mention since the mall’s been closed down.
The thing that always bothered me is that Ted wouldn't have to go to military school if he flunks out, because he would be 18, and could just say no and move out, lol.
The "princess" on the left is actress Diane Franklin who appeared in quite a few movies and television series. So, I don't know which you might now her from, but I developed a crush on her in the movie, 'Better Off Dead" costarring with John Cusac as the foreign exchange student who moves in across the street from him.
I love that movie. Born in 1980 watch that one a lot as a kid. I just showed it to my three and four year old a few weeks ago. That along with the dark Crystal legend The secret of NIMH and a couple others were 80 Staples for me.
And in between, he was in Bram Stoker's Dracula where he married Winona Ryder. He still kinda seemed like at any time he was going to end his line with "dude" or say "woah". For the record, I did thoroughly enjoy it even with Keanu's performance.
Watched this on a loop as kids! The first movie I remember seeing with Keanu Reeves after this was Speed. Little me was blown away that it was the same guy 😂😂
I think the reason this film is so popular is that it's one of the few movies that depicts the future in a positive light. Most movies about the future depict it as a postapocalyptic dystopia.
iirc the time machine was originally going to be a tour van but "Back to the Future" came out and they changed it to avoid comparison. I love that Bill and Ted are just treated as 1 person by the school.
The Circle K, the Mall and the Waterpark were all filmed within a few miles of my place. They had a screening of this movie in the parking lot of the Circle K a little while back when they shut it down. It's now some random corner store.
Not Wesley Snipes. That's the Big Man himself.... Clarence Clemmons from Bruce Springsteen 's E Street Band! Jane Wiedlin of The G-Gos plays Joan of Arc.
Well in 1429 Joan of Arc was about 17 years old at English siege of Orleans France. In this movie she was played by Jane Wiedlin. She's one of the founders of the all female rock band The Go Gos. Jane Wiedlin does look young like a teenager in the movie but oddly was around 30 years old when she played the role of Joan in the movie.
When you needed a somewhat anonymous bad-ass Asian henchman in the 80s, he was your guy. When asked if he ever refused to work with any actors, only one... Steven Segal.
"Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Frazier Bain. Count It Out Fact: Characters say "dude" 70 times and "excellent" 30 times. Epic Foreshadowing Fact: Fact: All of the figures that Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) pick up through history are shown on the blackboard in the opening scene. Causal Loop Paradox Fact: Rufus (George Carlin) never introduces himself to Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves). The future Bill and Ted introduce him to their past selves at the Circle K. This provides an example of a causal loop paradox. Location Location Fact: The Circle K in the film is in San Dimas, CA, at the corner of Walnut and Bonita Avenues. The convenience store scenes were at least partially filmed at the Circle K in Tempe, AZ, at the northwest corner of Southern and Hardy. The scene when Napoleon (Terry Camilleri) slides down the water slides at "Waterloo" was filmed at the Golfland/Sunsplash water park in Mesa, AZ. Music Enthusiast Fact: The centermost "future dude" was played by Clarence Clemons, who was the saxophone player for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band during their heyday. He is best remembered for his solo in the Born To Run (1975). After the film was released, Edward Van Halen jokingly said he would have joined their band if they had asked. The punk band The Ataris wrote a song based on Ox's report. It's titled San Dimas High School Football Rules (1999), but it has nothing to do with the film.
No shits dude I've been at Circle K many time. I've had many hot dogs n big gulps from there. Is it the one one up from Priest dr. near AZ MILLS, oh miss those Game Works Burgers
Yes the phone booth is in the second one it's basically like the main time capsule for Bill & Ted like the delorean from "Back to the Future" or the TARDIS from "Doctor Who".
I remember when this came out... Saw it in the theater. The newspaper had a breakdown of their unique vocabulary. It was a most excellent idea, have it still
I think the funniest joke in the movie goes over some people’s heads. “If I were Napoleon, and I was in San Dimas, where would I go?” WATERLUBE! Absolutely hilarious!
Socrates actor was on a lot of TV you might have seen him on 227, Doogie Howser, or Married with Children. he was also a small part in Scrooged, and in Delirious starring John Candy
WTF?! I was just about to say "Yeah, San Dimas is a quiet little town in the foothills"... I guess everywhere is F-ed up these days. 😞 My great uncle grew up there, and was a Captain in the FD until he retired in the 70's and moved to San Clemente.
John wick takes place in an alternate time line where ted goes to military school instead of passing history
I love Reeves!
People are so obsessed 😂
I've never heard this, but... Jesus, why do I like it?
@@robling1937 Reeves is in it, it’s automatically awesome. 😎
MissyMom was a sleeper KGB Agent.
I am 41 next month. I am a woman. I still randomly exclaim out of nowhere “You killed Ted, you medieval dickweed”. This film is a classic that stands.
I’m 41 and I still randomly ask my husband “Do you know when the Mongols ruled China?” And he pops back “Dammit, you’re a history professor stop asking me that question!”
@Ariarosesmommy I think you might have to accept that he doesn’t know, he just works there. 😉
I’m 42, and I still say to my dad on occasion, “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.”
39 years old here and I stil quote and d stuff from this movie. This is one of the many movies from the 80s that I love quoting.
@@SFOlson I’ve started saying that a lot lately bc we just got a Circle-K down the road from my work.
Halloween my senior year of high school circa 1992 my best friend and I went as Bill and Ted. I was Ted.

“Be excellent to each other”
“Party on, Dudes”
Words to live by
👏
most excellent
Near tenets of Buddism/Stoicism/Dudism, but truly words that anyone of any faith can embrace.
@@sonnercampbell1702 Wyld Stallyns Rules!
Words that can unite mankind.
I saw this in theaters when it first came out and I have been in love with Keanu Reeves ever since that day!!!❤
In the future scenes, the three folks up high are the "Three Most Important People In the World".
That's Martha Davis, guitar player for The Motels; Clarence Clemmons "The Big Man", sax player for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band; and Fee Waybill from The Tubes.
"Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!"
Also Jane Wiedlin from the GoGo's portrayed Joan of Arc
Holy SHIT, I've seen this a thousand times, how in the HELL did I never notice that it was Clarence Clemmons?!
"Put them in the iron maiden!"
"Iron Maiden...Excellent!"
"Execute them!"
"Bogus!"
😜😁
The introductions to Missy is my favorite scene of the movie. Dave Beeth-Oven, So-crates Johnson, Dennis Frood, and... Abraham Lincoln 🤣🤣🤣
This movie's message is so good. SO good. All you need to be a good person is to be kind, and not give up. You don't need to be powerful, or super talented, or even particularly smart; just two things that you can choose to do, every day.
Watching this in the theater in the 80’s as a teenager was Most Excellent. Then Batman came out right after.
Miss the 80’s and 90’s movies.
San Dimas is most definitely a totally real place here in Southern California, dude!!! Home of the MOST EXCELLENT “Raging Waters” water park!
Excellent!
Where the 10 and 210 meet! (Or rather, used to)
If you were to re-watch "The Lost Boys", you might then recognize Alex Winter (Bill) as one of the 'boys'.
Marco. First come, first staked.
Anyone that knows Alex Winters' name can usually also name The Lost Boys and Bill & Ted movies for him, but that's all lol. But that still puts us way ahead of most of the world who dont know his name haha ;)
San Dimas is, in fact, a real place. It's a town in Los Angeles county of about 34,000 people.
I drove through it today!
Abe Lincoln was a humble man, but in his younger days he had legendary strength.
He is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame!
He beat the toughest guy in the local gang in his town, Jack Armstrong.
Jack used an illegal (and painful) move on Abe, so Abe picked Jack up over his head, and threw him to the ground, knocking him out. 👍😎🇺🇲
It takes some cojones to wrestle a guy named Jack Armstrong. At least he wasn't named Max Fightmaster, or Rad Heroman, or Chad Champion.
"San Dimas High School football RULES!"
Billy Madison does the callback to that line at the end of the jeopardy style quiz. "Knibb High School football RULES!"
The only thing I think I've ever seen the actor who plays Socrates in was "Scrooged". He played the waiter who gave Bill Murray the eye ball in the drink.
It took me years to not see Keanu Reeves as Ted
Yeah, I still kind of do. Even though I _can_ take him seriously, and have a lot of respect for where he has gone in his career, when it comes to Keanu, the first thing I’ll always think is “Whoooaaa…” 😄
Lol I always thought the same thing 🤣
“Dude, you got to have a poker face like me.
WHOA, THREE ACES!”😂
I love when they're walking out of school at the beginning of the movie. Ted is wearing a backpack and carrying a huge stack of books. Bill is only holding a single sheet of paper.
I just checked, and yup. The guideline for this channel is "Be excellent to each other."
The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing. That's us dude!
I used to watch this, Back to the future, revenge of the nerds and 16 candles over and over when I was in middle school. Thanks for the memory!😂
“Shooters shoot” is quite appropriate for Billy the Kid.
This dude is so frickin funny and he’s not even trying. I love your reactions, bud!
"Oh that's Wesley Snipes!"
That absolutely took me out bro 🤣
That Wesley Snipes line nearly took me out.
man growing up in the 90s this was the jam back then, the next 2 installments are just as good
"The one on the left... she bad!"
Princess Joanna is played by Diane Franklin, an underrated 80's cutie. Put Amityville 2 on a Halloween list and Better Off Dead on a Christmas/New Years list for more of her 👍
YES!! PLEASE, more Better Off Dead reactions! There's gotta be a dozen "shut the fuck up" moments in there, at least.

@@LordVolkov I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS! (as someone who actually had a paper route back in the late 70's and early 80's, that line hit deep)
If you have seen Scrooged, the guy who played Socrates, Tony Steedman, was the Head Waiter in the upscale restaurant scene in that movie.
wow thanx
The Caesar Salad was actually "invented" in Tijuana, Mexico in 1924.
The chef's name was actually Caesar, and he was actually Italian. 🧐
Part of the ultimate trinity of movies that perfectly portray the 80s becoming the 90s.
The mall scenes were filmed in the Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, Arizona, including the ice skating rink. The Ziggy Piggy scene was filmed in the old Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour in Metrocenter. The mall is no longer open. These scenes bring back memories from my youth.
At least we still have Sunsplash
@@sikksotoo And Castles N' Coasters. Always a good time there.
@@williambryan3346 I remember when it was called "Golf N Stuff" 😅 but none of Bill & Ted was filmed there.
@@sikksotoo I remember that too. It was named that before they built the roller coasters. True, it wasn’t used for the movie, but I thought it was worth a mention since the mall’s been closed down.
Yes. San Dimas is a real place.

Be excellent to each other. I love this movie.

I crushed on her too. She was also the love interest in The Last American Virgin. That movie traumatized me for years.
One of my favorite Trilogies of all time. And I'm lucky enough to have chatted with Joan of Ark. She's a very decent lady.
You met Jane? That’s awesome! She still takes me to the rush hour...
Time Bandits is a other time travel comedy classic with more GOATS of history (one played by a true GOAT of cinema too)
That's truly a classic.
Jolly good suggestion. Jolly good.
I love that movie. Born in 1980 watch that one a lot as a kid. I just showed it to my three and four year old a few weeks ago. That along with the dark Crystal legend The secret of NIMH and a couple others were 80 Staples for me.
Saw this one in the theater. I was in 4th grade, and me & my friends walked around talking like Bill and Ted until it drove our parents batty.
This one is special, because it’s the only movie I watched at a drive-in theater.
That future looks a hell of a lot better than where we're headed 😂
Right imagine what humanity could accomplish if we all was excellent to each other.
That's the future built on Wyld Stalions music
Delorian, phone booth, and then in the 2010’s we get a hot tub!
And before ALL of them is a famous blue Police Box . 😁👍
It amazing that Keanu went from this role in 1989 to Speed in 1994.
And in between, he was in Bram Stoker's Dracula where he married Winona Ryder. He still kinda seemed like at any time he was going to end his line with "dude" or say "woah". For the record, I did thoroughly enjoy it even with Keanu's performance.
I’m soooooooo excited!! I’m out of town but I’m watching this ASAP when I get home!
These Bill and Ted movies are classics ! Here's another classic you should react to. " I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" with Keenan Ivory Wayans !
Hey jay and blank. Huge fan love you're channel. Wishing you blessings and prosperity
Same to you! Glad you enjoy our nonsense. LoL

"They caught Genghis Khan with a twinkie"... 😂😂😂 Quite possibly one of the greatest commentary moments, EVER!!
In 1990 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures was a Saturday Morning cartoon that ran for 2 seasons.
I think the reason this film is so popular is that it's one of the few movies that depicts the future in a positive light. Most movies about the future depict it as a postapocalyptic dystopia.
When you think about it, when they make the stop in 2689, the people who met them were meeting their version of Jesus. That kind of blows my mind.
iirc the time machine was originally going to be a tour van but "Back to the Future" came out and they changed it to avoid comparison.
I love that Bill and Ted are just treated as 1 person by the school.
Never understood why the mall cops arrested Beethoven....He was giving them a jamming show and bringing people into the store.
The actor that played Socrates was the waiter in Scrooged. He served Bill Murray the eyeball in the glass
One of the BEST 80s movies of all...."Be excellent to one and another"...LOVE IT!!!
This is about to be hilarious! Sorry I missed the live stream.
The Circle K, the Mall and the Waterpark were all filmed within a few miles of my place. They had a screening of this movie in the parking lot of the Circle K a little while back when they shut it down. It's now some random corner store.

Alex Winter was in the Lost Boys
Bill & Ted even told Napoleon not to invade Russia 🇷🇺 😂
Damn, so many times i saw this movie, and I didnt noticed that the fckd up with Chopin, he was Polish not French
I always love Napoleon at the water park. Especially when they’re trying to take him away. His carrying on like a kid.
The princess on the left is Diane Franklin. She is also in Better Off Dead and The Last American Virgin
I’d like to see J’s response to the “creeping angels” from Dr. Who.
There are lots of parts of Doctor Who I'd love to see him react to. I get why he doesn't, as it's a massive commitment now, but still.
Joan of Arc was played by Jane Wiedlin founding member of the Go-Go’s.
