Definitely hadn't heard of them until ERB brought them up.

And no, they don't have the same status as Ghostbusters because Ghostbusters was way more successful and watched. The two Gghostbusters movies were #2 and #7 in the domestic box office the year they were released. Bill and Ted were #32 and #34.

They have less status than modern comedy duos Anchorman (#30 and #23), Paul Blart (#19 and something higher than #34), Hangover (#6 and #4),

When people think of Anchorman or Paul Blart they think "I only know about that because it came out recently" and when they hear Bill and Ted they think "oh, that name seems vaguely familiar and is from a long time ago, it must be really important".

Ultimately, in 20 years, names like 'Anchorman', 'Hangover' and 'Paul Blart' will likely be held in quizzical reverence by teens who vaguely remember them being alluded to in a scene from SNL/Family Guy/whatever they have in 2035.
