I loved Pee Wee Herman, too.
“Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” was HILARIOUS and so was Pee Wee’s Playhouse!
RIP, Paul Reubens.

Paul Reubens, the actor best known for portraying Pee-wee Herman, died Sunday night after a private bout of cancer. He was 70.
“Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years,” wrote Reubens in a statement posted to Instagram after his death. “I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”
“Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness,” wrote Reubens’ estate in the caption. “Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.”
Reubens began his career in the 1970s after joining the Los Angeles live comedy troupe the Groundlings as an improvisational comedian and stage actor. In 1980, he launched “The Pee-wee Herman Show,” a stage production centered on a fictional character he had been developing for years. As Pee-wee became a cult figure, Reubens’ show ran for five sold-out months, and he landed a special at HBO. Reubens also committed to the character in his interviews and public appearances.

‘you’re here because you *want* something’....LOL
I might be off a tinge on that but that’s why he fell for what the psychic said
ugh. I hope not. saw that article and immediately thought of a friend who didn’t feel well, went to the dr the next week and was diagnosed with STAGE 4 colon cancer. Vaccinated.
He had a bit part as a waiter in The Blues Brothers.
I loved Pee Wee Herman, too.
“Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” was HILARIOUS and so was Pee Wee’s Playhouse!
RIP, Paul Reubens.
I thought PeeWee’s Playhouse was a particularly good show.
I’m TRYINGGGG to use the phone!!!!!!!!!
yes, excellent.
That was hilarious!!!
And when he rode of on the motorcycle…
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha…..thank you. It sounded exactly like him in my head!
He got caught in a movie theatre mastubating and I think it was a porn movie. So what!
I say we stab him. I say we shoot him then we stab him. (PeeWee)...I say we let him go!
OMG. one of the funniest scenes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what I remember. His comedy was never my cup o tea, just too silly and goofy. However, I've read many times his Playhouse was good for the kids because he often promoted good values in his episodes. He should have just rented a video tape and done his thing privately.
So funny and so sad. I loved me some PeeWee, he was always inspiring.
He was in a Cheech and Chong film, too, and the Buffy movie.
“Ha! Ha! BREAK DANCE!!!” *Pitchers go smashing to the floor...*
....Reubens later stated that he was a collector of erotica, including films, muscle magazines, and a sizable collection of mostly homosexual vintage erotica,[1] such as photographic studies of teen nudes.[29] Reubens said that what the city attorney’s office viewed as pornography he considered to be innocent art, and that what they described as people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation was, in fact, a judgmental point of view. Reubens described the nude images as people “one hundred percent not” performing sexual acts.
