    Bill & Ted is “Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!”

    Although Bill and Ted frequently said both “party time” and “excellent”, Wayne’s World wrote “Party time, excellent” into their theme song. So, the phrase “Party time, excellent!” started with Wayne’s world.

    But really, the ninja turtles were saying all of that before any of those guys.

    I’m pretty sure “Party time! Excellent!” isn’t in Bill and Ted at all.
    It’s exclusively Wane’s World.

    I never knew B&T to say that phrase. Their faves were always “Party on, dudes” and the like.

    I’m pretty sure Wayne’s World skit on SNL in the mid 80’s is where the phrase was born.

      The phrase came originally from Wayne’s World, which was first an SNL sketch, yeah. Bill & Ted aren’t from SNL, though, and predate Wayne and Garth by a good bit. Bill & Ted said “party on,” among other things, but not “party time, excellent.” That’s specifically the Wayne’s World theme song iirc.
