I don't care what anyone says about him. Paul Reubens was a truly gifted comic genius. It takes real inward creativity, inspiration and courage to be as funny as he was. Another thing it takes is true humility. The willingness to open up yourself for praise and ridicule is the Hallmark of any performer. R.I.P. Paul. Thank you for your special gift of laughter to us.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

What could anyone possibly say about him? I remember the 'scandal' back in the day. He went to a porno movie. I never understood why that was a scandal. People knew porno theatres and movies existed, people also knew that such theatres had customers - otherwise they would not have been able to remain open. The only reason it was a scandal was because he was Pee Wee. Just like the lead actor in Hogan's Heroes - he had some home movie equipment and liked to make sex videos. When he died, everyone went on and on about the 'scandal'. It was a very lame time to be alive.

[@TrollFace93]

@@HeatherSpoonheim There was another scandal in 2002 featuring Mr.Reubens. he had bought a collection of adult magazines in bulk and didn't realize some of them contained minors in them, and they began to investigate and he turned himself in after finding out. I do believe that was an honest mistake and he didn't know.

[@bhornannawindeedeigh5007]

Mr Reubens' dad sounds like the Best Dad Ever - loving, compassionate, accepting, warm and playful! 😃 How wonderful to grow up around that kind of role model. That's mighty awesome! Paul's storytelling and his easy conversational style are unmatched. He draws everyone in the audience in with his cute little side glances. Plus his special Tequilla dance? 🤣 Icing on the cake! 😂 God bless his beautiful soul. He was delightful. I will miss him. So glad he's not suffering in pain. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🙏🏽❤️🥲

I don't know if you're old enough for this reference, but when I was in my 20's, I had this absolutely crazy friend who was a lot like Steve Martin. One night we were at this place called the Holiday House. It was a bar/club attached to the Holiday Inn Motel. So, we decide to leave and the Motel room doors were of course, exterior doors adjacent to the parking lot with a sidewalk between. My friend starts going up and pounding on the doors and in a loud official voice saying: "Paging Mr Rocks on Rocks....Call for Mr Rocks on Rocks!" It's embarrassing and stupid because people are watching him do this, but you can't help but laugh. I was falling in the bushes laughing and he went to about 3 doors doing this. The guy was out of his mind. Before we left the bar, he casually strolled into the kitchen, back to the cooler and grabbed a 6 pack of beer and than just as casually strolled out. Not one employee stopped him or even gave him a sideways glance. The thing was, he never planned any of it and that's what made it crazy. It was all spontaneous. One of his best was the woman looking for a boyfriend for her daughter, but I don't want to write a book here.

[@patk3601]

I've always loved Paul Reubens. He was a genuine soul. Even though my husband and I were in our late 20s/early 30s and had no kids, we never missed Peewee's Playouse on Saturday mornings. Paul was imaginative and hilarious. It's disgusting how he was treated by Hollywood. Pretending to be offended by a lonely man while supporting real predators like Harvey Weinstein. Paul never let it define him. He was a sweet soul. My condolences to his family, friends and fans.

What joy he brought to us over the years. You will always be a part of the universe now Paul Reubens.

[@yogoombah2356]

Even worse, today many activist doctors would have had him on hormone blockers and transitioning him into a girl just like Biden's assistant secretary of health.

[@sarahbreisch4750]

I had an awesome dad who played pretend with me, and watched pee wee's playhouse with me. My mom is Jewish, not my dad!

[@proto57]

Especially because his dad was a famous Israeli fighter pilot, Milton Rubenfeld, who "... is widely believed that Rubenfeld, the other four volunteer pilots, and the other machalniks changed the course of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War." So he certainly didn't fit any macho stereotypes. A fighter pilot who can sit down with his son and play tea party. Wow. Milton must have been an interesting and unique individual.

Finally, I thought I will hear a "normal" story from Mr. Reubens. Then, the toilet water.

[@brendahunter9134]

He goes the long way around to tell a joke. Many of us have seen that vid of the little girl bringing her Dad the tea water that she gets from the toilet. Many years ago when he was a guest on David Letterman, he was the first person I heard to use the word like, as in," I was like no don't cross the street" instead of saying...I SAID he used...I was like.

[@diamonddavemusic]

During the summer of 1985, some young male friends and I went to the mall to see the movie "Fright Night", but when we arrived, the showing was sold out, and so I asked my friends if they wanted to see "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" instead, since it was starting soon. They were all hesitant since no one really knew anything about Pee-wee Herman or the movie, but we bought tickets and went in anyway, not knowing what to expect. Well, my friends and I never laughed so hard in our lives, or probably since! We all instantly became Pee-wee fans for life. I still quote lines from the movie to this day. RIP Paul, thanks for sharing Pee-wee with us, and thanks for all the laughs throughout the years.

[@diamonddavemusic]

And yes, I am aware of the trouble Paul Reubens got into. "Let ye without sin cast the first stone." We all have issues, and as far as I know, Paul never hurt anyone. He gave more joy than he took, and that still means something in my book. The man is gone now, and he has paid all his debts. Let him be.

@Jeremy Schmidt I'm 62...😂 Does yours talk? Mine does, although the recorder is about worn out sad to say. I have a little pocket -sized bendy Pee Wee too 😁 I have a story... One Halloween, I found these Pee Wee Herman Halloween costumes at a discount store. Like the one's kids used to get in the 60s. My eyes neatly popped outta my head when I spotted them. It was about 3 days before a big contest at this popular club in town and several of friends and myself wanted to enter it. We literally had no ideas as to what we were going to do and then I happened upon those costumes... Hands down we needed no vote when I told them what I had found. Wicked funny. Better yet, they were adult sized though some ever so 'slight' adjustments had to be made in certain areas.. lol. Cost me I think..4 bucks a piece! I bought all they had. Included those masks too. So realistic. This was 1988? There were 5 of us... We went as Pee Wee's Posse! Of course we won!!! The music of the 80s was soooooo fabulous! The DJ played TEQUILA naturally and we had to do The Big Shoe Dance of course....👞😌 We got a trophy and all the tequila we could drink...😵 And CASH...😁 Good times indeed. 😁 Take care!😊
