As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • De Nomolos invokes the infamous air guitar Bill and Ted displayed in the first film as part of his manifesto, in his... Unique way;
    De Nomolos: ...no longer will we hear this!—
    *strikes an air-guitar pose and some bass-heavy grinding immediately sounds off*
  • De Nomolos threatens to change the system that Bill and Ted have built.
    Rufus: You won't get away with it.
    De Nomolos: [smugly] Time will tell.
    Rufus: [beat] Time has told!
    • Hilariously, Rufus appears to be dead right; by intervening directly at the finale and intending to kill the boys with a worldwide audience, De Nomolos effectively gives the boys their big debut. One has to wonder if this is the way history already played out, and whether De Nomolos just didn't study enough.
  • Bill and Ted explaining why their girlfriends/fellow band members are able to play better than they themselves.
    Ted: ...they started in the fifteenth century.
    Ms. Wardroe: What do you mean?
    Ted: Well, they're from medieval England.
    Bill: (hissing) Ted, shut up.
    Ted: Uh, Medieval England... Iowa.
  • At the party, Colonel Oates under a facade of politeness tells the members of Wyld Stallyns that it's not too late for them to enlist at his military school before spotting some fudge and wandering off screen.
  • Bill and Ted play Death and beat him, with surprising ease, first at Battleship, then Clue, then Electric Football, and finally Twister.
  • Death to the smoker at the hardware store: "See you real soon."
    • Followed by the guy doing a double-take and quickly stubbing out the cigarette.
  • From the Spinning Paper Montage: 'Reaper Wins Indy 500; "I didn't know I could run that fast."'
  • B&T Melvining Death, of course. Made even funnier in the comic adaptation with this follow-up.
    Ted: Bill?
    Bill: Yeah?
    Ted: Death wears funny shorts.
    • Death later explains partaking in Bill and Ted's actions to God Himself with an embarrassed, "Sorry. They Melvined me."
  • The Good Robot Usses decapitating the Evil Robot Usses is funny in itself, but the fact that the Evil Robot Usses are so nonchalant about it makes it hilarious.
    Evil Robot Bill & Ted: Well played, human usses!
    • They even tilt their chins up slightly so the Good Robot Usses can get a clean hit.
  • De Nomolos's Mooks seizing control of a room using typical action-movie-thug poses and body language, dressed in standard-issue paramilitary black... and giant floppy black boots made of polyethylene foam, which are apparently all the rage in their time.
    • Also, look closely at the giant collar De Nomolos wears - it has built in dramatic lighting for his face.
  • This inversion of If You Die, I Call Your Stuff:
    Bill: Ted.
    Ted: Yeah?
    Bill: If I die, you can have my Megadeth collection.
    Ted: But, dude, we're already dead.
    Bill: Oh. Well then they're yours, dude.
  • (to Satan) "You know, you got a bad rap, but you're actually an okay dude."
  • The whole scene where Bill and Ted possess Bill's dad and another cop. Especially the performance of the actor playing Captain Logan - his body language is hilarious.
  • Bill and Ted mug a couple guys... to get into Heaven. Even they don't miss the Irony.
    • "We better get out of here before we ruin it for everyone else."
  • As they're falling into the depths of Hell, Bill and Ted can think of only one thing: play 20 Questions.
    Ted: Okay, I got one!
    Bill: Are you a mineral?
    Ted: Yeah!
    Bill: Are you a tank?
    Ted: Whoa! Yeah!
    • Also, when they first start falling. 22 seconds of screaming "AAAAAAHHHHH", stopping to catch their breath, then continuing.
    Bill: Dude, this is a totally deep hole.
    Ted: Yeah (pause), now what?
    Bill: I dunno.
  • When returning to life, Bill and Ted wake up where their bodies were left. The little Stations are standing right behind them quite peacefully. Upon Bill and Ted asking where Death is, we hear him screaming, and see him falling from high up in the sky and slamming into the ground.
    • Station spends the entire rest of the scene laughing about it. In fact, as the gang is walking to the van, you can hear Death insist it wasn't THAT funny.
  • The way the evil robots politely answer the phone: "Hello? Logan residence. Evil Bill S. Preston, Esq. speaking."
  • The understatement of the century:
    Ted: Dude!
    Bill: What?!
    Ted: Hell sucks!
  • Bill and Ted's response to being dumped by their girlfriends? "Most non-non-heinous". Their response to nearly being destroyed in hell? "Most non-non-non-non heinous".
  • Bill and Ted's proposals to Joanna and Elizabeth are hilarious. Their speeches are near-identical, both involve listing an absurd number of 'various beasts' they could be surrounded by, and to top it off, despite asking for space, the two proposals are happening, at most, five feet apart.
