Wait, I think I have it figured out. B&TEA is all about time travel. This show's premise is that you're taken back in time to when this sort of homophobic and racist sh*t was considered both acceptable and funny. The audiences just didn't get the joke.
Because surely no one at Universal Studios in 2013 would think this would be acceptable now.
It's not a ride, it's part of the Haunted Halloween show that they do every year. I've been to a few of them, and they are indeed groan-inducing, but part of the fun (and a place to rest after being chased by zombies all night!). It's a non-stop assault on pop culture and topical humor. It's what you'd expect from a "bill and ted" narrative. That the show got produced in the first place is a bad thing; that they pulled the show is a good thing.
I wonder if the writing team ever considered sprinkling "magic cotton seeds" onto a black performer to turn them into a minstrel show performer? I bet the crowd would just eat that up.
Hopefully they'll come back next year with something better.
Bill and Ted's at Halloween Horror Nights has always been awful. Insanely tired jokes, horrible impersonations and old pop culture references. It's usually pretty sexist. They really need to rethink the entire thing.

Amiright?

Phoebe? Loveschild? You two must know of a few places.
All in the Family dealt with the gay Superman issue in season one episode five waaaaay back in 1971.
