Waking and baking and watching Pee Wee's Funhouse was the standard Saturday morning routine for a couple of years.

 

RIP Pee Wee

I thought the exact same thing.

Also, does the hugest controversy ever involving Herman visiting a sex arcade stigmatize him if it happened in 2023? No way. That's like the 9th most interesting story on the TMZ daily.

I could give two shits if he decided to whip his dick out in an adult film theater, assuming that was kind of the norm for places like that. However, I'd forgotten he got popped in 2004 for possessing photographs of minors engaged in sexual conduct and received three years probation.

This was the funniest fucking scene to me as a kid, and now for that matter. If I remember correctly, the credits cut to him still dying after the movie ends. Hilarious

i have crystal clear memories of watching this movie in a San Antonio movie theater as a 16year old. The theater ERUPTED during this scene. An amazing movie experience i will never forget.

this is the final scene of The Pee-wee Herman Show, the 1980 stage production that came before the Pee-wee movies and the Playhouse TV showit's so funny and, after his passing today, also becomes sort of a perfect Pee-wee Herman farewellRIP Paul Reubens

Visitors have asked daily about the basement at the Alamo thanks to the 1985 movie “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” We're grateful for Paul Reubens' unforgettable contribution to pop culture. There is no basement in the Alamo Church, but there is one under our gift shop! Rest in peace.

Damn,  this sucks. I used to watch the big adventure movie all the fucking time. Still laugh at it today. Rip

Spoiler

In 2013, I was going through a nasty divorce and bitter custody battle. My ex-wife took our home, and I had to move into a motel temporarily. To make matters worse, she wouldn't let me see our daughter except once a weekend in exchange for "child support". During those weekends, I spent every waking minute taking my daughter all over Sarasota, never knowing when I'd be able to see her again.

At nights, we'd binge on #PeeWeeHerman for months until she became the world's youngest Pee Wee fan. In 2014, with the divorce behind me and now having full custody of my daughter, I emailed Paul Reubens on Facebook of all things to thank him for making my childhood so much fun and for helping my daughter and I through hard times. Shockingly, he responded with an inspirational message and asked me for my phone number. Honestly, I was terrified, but I gave it to him.

The next day, Paul called, and we talked for 10 minutes about the divorce, my job, my daughter, and of course, his amazing work. He asked me to save his number and to call him next month as he was going out of town for a few weeks. A month later, I gave him a call, and amazingly, Paul Reubens invited us to his mother's home in Sarasota. He met my daughter, who was only 3 and showed us props from his show and movies and even fed us juice and snacks by his private lake where my daughter chased ducks.

We didn't want to overstay our welcome so we left within the hour but I will never forget the day my daughter and I got to hang out with the person who showed us just how fun even the most mundane activities could be with a little imagination. Thank you, Paul.

So sad to learn Paul Reubens has died. I was excited to have him in one of my eps of WWDITS. He brought his wig from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which he'd had modeled on his infamous mugshot - because, he said "it was the coolest I've ever looked". He made every line hilarious.

That's almost like the fake "Texas A&M has the best fans in the world" posts on TexAgs.

PWBA became one of the most quoted movies in our household.  We must have rewound and watched the Large Marge scene 1000 times and laughed every time.  

I didn't realize until just a few years ago that it was also Tim Burton's directorial debut.

That movie was a huge part of my late childhood. 

RIP Paul.
