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?

[@MalcolmRandall]

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...

[@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.

[@Falconforge89]

@@billmcdonnell79I don’t think that’s true

[@RotaryPoweredRX]

@@billmcdonnell79 there's always that *one guy* who says this garbage in the comments. you couldn't be any more wrong 👎

[@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.

@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.

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?" ☠💀☠💀🤣😂🤣😂

[@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.

[@michaelr9839]

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.

hahaha such a wholesome moment!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

Why on earth is there a chimpanzee for sale in a pet shop?

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

Good question! In a tiny cage, no less. I'm hoping it was for cinematic value and chimps didn't actually get sold in pet stores like that in the eighties (though I know some people keep them as pets to this day). I find them pretty terrifying, but the one in this scene is cute as hell helping Pee Wee!

[@afriendofbean]

@Emily's Bookshelf I agree, that sounded weird to have a chimpanzee sold in the pet shop to have as a pet. I can only guess that the owner of that pet shop must also be part time as a circus ringleader and that chimpanzee was part of his circus but just wasn't for sale.
