He made a lot of people laugh. I don't recall him voicing any politics or sexuality issues in public.
RIP.
Think I’ll rewatch Pee Wee’s big adventure again (for the 100th time)
70...geez.
RIP Pee Wee
It was on television a few weeks ago and I caught the last 30 min. I always loved his morning show when I was young.
💔
His humor was annoying. He was a perv and considering his TV life vs his real life, I would keep him away from kids altogether. That said, RIP.
Well said. Ditto.
I took a date to that movie. It was snowing to beat the band.
We were in my Mazda RX-7. It was fun to slide in the snow.
Will President Retard be handling the eulogy?
I remember him as the waiter in the Blues Brothers.
No thanks. I blame him and Spongebob for teaching kids the most annoying habits ever.
Well there was that incident in a movie theatre. Just saying
“ I don’t recall him voicing any politics or sexuality issues in public.”
How would Pee Wee Herman’s endorsement of a politician or issue be a plus?
Steve Irkle disagrees
I’ve seen a couple of films where he had serious roles, actually not recognizable in those films until you looked twice. He was good in those roles, wish he had gotten the opportunity to do more.
Ok, he had at least one redeeming role.
I’ll have to watch it for the first time.
He was a very funny guy. I saw his TV show once, after he’d been arrested. It had innuendos that you might not want kids to hear, and that sounded really dark and pointed after his arrest. Still, I remember him on Letterman in the old days. Very entertaining. RIP
Ok, Urkel is a close 2nd.
” I don’t recall him voicing any politics or sexuality issues in public”
Well, there was that one time in a porn theater in Sarasota
Yes, but when finally came out of exile his comment “Heard any good jokes lately” at some awards ceremony was hysterical.
