** 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 intelligent and practical-minded and Ted slightly more carefree and sociable, but the differences are minimal) and in the plots they're important as a duo, not as individuals. They frequently SpeakInUnison.

** In ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'' Ted mentions the princesses are celebrating their fifth year of living in the 20th century.

The closest thing to an antagonist in ''Excellent Adventure'' is Ted's dad who threatens to send him to military school and arrests the historical figures that the boys need for their history report.
** While ''BogusJourney'' introduces De Nomolos, a terrorist from the future who sends robot duplicates to KillAndReplace the duo and change history.

** In ''Face The Music'' the [[spoiler:new leader of the organisation that gave Bill and Ted the time machine in the first place is trying to kill them because she thinks their deaths will bring about utopia]]. Though she does send another robot assassin after them. Ted's dad is still being a FantasyForbiddingFather but he's in no position to send his adult son to military school.

** Twice in ''Bill And Ted's Excellent Comic Book''. The first has Death getting annoyed and stealing the time machine for a vacation. The dead start rising as zombies until the duo persuade Death to come back.
** A later issue has Death getting fired and a new ReplacementScrappy Death showing up claiming he'd been waiting for the job for centuries even though he wasn't mentioned the first time Death retired.
** In ''Bill And Ted's Most Triumphant Return'', De Nomolos wins several games of ChessWithDeath and gives the job of Death to his brother who can't be bothered doing it. This leads to a Bad future where De Nomolos rules most of the universe thousands of years from now and the main cast are all still alive.
