Pee Wee Herman - Pet Shop Fire Scene

This scene just always makes me laugh. I'd feel the same way about the snakes, why did it have to be snakes?

[@ZakWolf]

The best part is that it just comes out of nowhere. Pee-Wee is escaping the guards from the Warner lot, but then notices the pet shop on fire and nobody else around, and decides to take action, save all the animals and be a hero!

[@JerichoRaccoon941]

At the end, when Pee-wee is carrying the snakes, actor Paul Reubens really hated snakes in RL, so his screams were authentic. The snakes weren't fake in that scene, as Tim Burton wanted it, so Paul Reubens trusted him with that.

He also looked around to make sure his bike would be safe.

[@afriendofbean]

@@sha11235 That's true and he must have felt that while he loves his bike more than anyone and anything else in the world, he must have felt that caring for living things is important too. Regarding him looking around, I guess he also looked around to make sure the Warner Bros. security guards were not around to be able to chase him anymore.

RIP Pee Wee Herman. He REALLY didn't wanna touch those snakes, but he saved all the other animals, so he might as well save them too.

[@coltonstillwell3590]

You know, he could’ve just carried them out still in the case…

[@Sal_Sal27]

The cage was probably too heavy or it was stationary.

[@pysankar]

There were still fish in the aquarium that needed to be saved.

[@jimnfl7134]

i knew the first time even looking at the camera, he is grabbing those Snakes!

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

He SURE didn't have ANY problem touching HIS snake in the theater...

[@hamsterdiving7593]

Paul Reubens really hated snakes, apparently, but those were garter snakes -- absolutely chill and harmless 😅

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

He DEFINITELY had NO problem playing with HIS snake in the theater...

[@PKBitchGirl]

The actors who played Sheldon and Raj on The Big Bang Theory also dont like snakes and there was a scene where Sheldon tried to prank Raj by putting a corn snake in his desk only for Raj to be a fan of snakes On the other hand Harrison Ford likes snakes and used to catch wild snakes as a kid

[@MyLateralThawts]

Love the fourth wall break, with Pee Wee looking at the camera thinking “Damn, I can’t put this off any longer!” Also seems targeted at the director, “Damn you Tim!”

[@afriendofbean]

@MyLateralThawts I agree, it was very funny. Each time he ran past the snake cage, he knew in his heart that he had to rescue the snakes also and every time he looked at them, his look was like he was saying "too gross, I hate snakes." Then when he was coming close to getting all the animals out (he did say that there's more fish inside to the fireman and the cop), he looked at the snakes like he was saying "all the other animals are close to be free, I'm just going to have to fight myself to rescue these snakes" which he did but, I guess he was unfortunate since the monkey didn't help to carry some of the snakes.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Lmao...I love that he was apprehensive, or reluctant about the snake's and finally said....fuck it...and saved them anyway..lol ..👍🏻💯pee wees the man. 😆

[@Smackintoshtv]

hahaha such a wholesome moment!

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

This scene really embodies who Pee Wee is. He's almost escaped the WB guards, and finally got his bike back. But when he sees the pet shop on fire, he abandons his bike and risks getting arrested to save all the animals! ♥

[@BobbyStJohn-fg1kb]

that's a great way to looking at it.

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

[@billmcdonnell79]

Seems like Pee-Wee may be the type of person that have more regards to animals (maybe expect for snakes, which he reluctantly saved) than people.

The sounds he makes looking at the snakes gets me every time! 😂 Pee Wee didn't die, he just went to the basement of the Alamo.

[@Ktonrider]

I just found out that one of the dogs he saved is the same dog that played Precious in silence of the lambs

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

Too cute! And in the end of the movie, Dottie has adopted her. She opens her bike basket, and out pops Darla (the dog's real name) and Speck! 💖

She's also in Batman Returns! A true star of the silver screen.

[@msthecommentator2863]

The glance to the camera followed by the smash cut of him running out screaming with the snakes is too funny 🤣

[@theonewhocooks111]

He could’ve just carried the snake tank 😂😂

[@afriendofbean]

@TheWalOfWolfStreet I wondered that too but, maybe it was too heavy (even if the monkey helped him, they wouldn't be able to lift it together) or it was bolted down couldn't be picked up.

Yea but then we wouldn’t get that insanity lol moment.

[@pmyodb1]

I literally had a asthma attack when he was coming out that shop with those snakes....he sooooo tried his best to not get those snakes and he knew he had to,lmao

[@jonathansmith8672]

The best part of all was the shot before that where he passes the snake cage for the fourth time and he stops and slowly looks up at the camera like, "Do i really have to do this?" ☠💀☠💀🤣😂🤣😂

[@Vanilasurf]

One of my favorite movies, just remembered this scene out of nowhere while doing the dishes. Went back and watched it and laughed my ass off the entire time.

[@kristinaiskrazzy]

I was watching someone on tiktok eat from his automatic breakfast making machine and it reminded me of the opening scene to this movie with his own auto breakfast machine with the Mr. t’s oat cereal and I’ve been BINGE WATCHING all the scenes

[@cellytron]

This boy is a hero! This boy is under arrest.

[@afriendofbean]

@cellytron That was great how Pee Wee was kind to rescue the animals even though he was very happy to get his bike back but, I wonder if he didn't choose to rescue them and continued riding away on his bike, he would have been far away from Warner Bros. studios at that point where the Warner Bros. security guards would have felt, "he got away" where Pee Wee would have continued riding his bike to go home.

[@SouthernCal1317]

I watched something recently that said Paul was terrified of snakes. So every time he looks at them that was his actual look. Then he told Tim Burton he wanted to do the stunt with live snakes to make it better. Pee Wee Herman/Paul Reubens you are greatly missed! You gave us all so many amazing memories and laughs! Thank you Pee Wee❤Rest in peace

[@kristinaiskrazzy]

I love how these comments are recent - most from 1-3 months ago. I guess we were all wanting to revisit a great childhood movie. What made me start binge watching the scene videos was someone on TikTok that made his own automatic breakfast machine just like the opening scene to this movie. I remember all of the words pretty much and it brings back so many good memories.

[@danpineda4447]

Your comment from 6 months ago

[@lotushead_music]

I remember this scene as a kid. And thinking about it, pee wee saved all the animals including the snakes even though he hates snakes (in movie and irl) and that displays so much character in pee wee.

[@g.w.hampton5525]

Those look like "Western Garter Snakes" and we used to catch them as kids. They have a unique and truly horrible way of defending themselves so we called them Sh!t Snakes. Also that fireman running up on Pee Wee didn't seem to be very careful of stepping on them after Pee Wee had been brave to save them.

[@jaymac8496]

That man was not havin it with them snakes and I don’t blame him 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laughs Pee Wee at least you’re no longer suffering 🕊

I'm still glad that he still saved them in the end.

I love how reluctant Peewee was at first to save the snakes, which is clearly understandable, seeing how he really didn't want to touch those snakes, but finally, after rescuing all the other pets, he was like, "Screw it!" and saved the snakes anyway.
