Pee Wee's Playhouse Pee Wee Makes French Toast

[@thechaz83]

Rest in Peace Paul Reubens 1952-2023. As a child I was shy, intelligent, and often bullied. Being bullied and playing alone is never fun. The Pee Wee Herman character entertained me. I never stopped laughing. His playhouse felt like a second home, and yes, I bought the old 80’s Playhouse (Recently I acquired a 2nd one in box just bc). Saw all the movies. Paul Reubens finally knows how much his hard work blesses the lives of kids. “Pee Wee is a legend. Legends never die”. Godbless you Sir!!

[@mikelisacarb]

and as an intelligent, possibly out of the norm type kid, you undoubtably realized that Peewee's unique way of presenting himself was the source of his genius. An affirming message for everybody!

[@montauk081]

I would've played w you. I was so shy and not confident at all but I loves pee-wee's playhouse and I had the pee-wee doll w the string you pulled on the back and he'd say "I know you are but what am i" " ARRRRRGG" "made you look" "ha ha...hahaha"

[@thechaz83]

@montauk081 Sounds good, buddy. We’ll invent a secret word, I’ll bring my playhouse, but we’ll have to keep a watchful eye on Francis. He might steal our bikes. ;) “I don’t make monkeys. I just train them”--Pee Wee

[@thechaz83]

@mikelisacarb You’re correct Mike. Both Paul and his alter ego, Pee Wee, combated many obstacles. A too well known example: after the theater incident I remember watching the MTV Video Music Awards. Seeing Paul appear before millions of people, dressed and in character; “Heard any good jokes lately? Oh, so funny I forgot to laugh.” Remembering that moment today? WOW 😮!! He’s a person built of insurmountable courage. Can you imagine having that much courage and faith in yourself, other people, what you created? A person who continued moving forward, doing his absolute best? Happened again following his silent 6 year battle with cancer. So yes, I understood what you meant completely. I appreciate the wisdom 🙏

[@kenhollis6197]

My mom hated the character, too. I taught my much younger siblings to sing "Connect the dots, la la la la, connect the dots, la la la la." And they did. Often. It drove Mom nuts, much to my delight.

Memories of childhood and better times. Just impossible to watch this without a big smile on my face the whole time.

[@bashir1980]

Of all the Saturday morning kids' shows I watched as a child, this was the best one. I would always have to wait every week to see the next episode(s) and never liked to miss one. I would always be frustrated every time Pee-Wee goes to his scooter, after which each episode ended. When the entire series finally ended, my Saturday mornings were never the same ever since. Pee-Wee Herman has become one of my best role models that taught me how to make good friends and how to live and maintain a good social life. Thank you Paul Reubens and the entire crew for all that you contributed.

Rest in Peace. MEKA LECA HIGH MEKA HINEY HO. Thank you for making my childhood wonderful.

[@Rotary_Phone]

"Connect the dots, la la lala, connect the dots la la lala"....That was always one of my favorite bits on the show with magic screen. I also liked when the big head dude would show up, knocking at the door, and everyone would get freaked out! LOL

[@kenhollis6197]

My mom thought Pee-wee was incredibly annoying; it was my great pleasure to teach my younger siblings "Connect the dots, la la la laa" when they repeatedly sang it in Mom's presence, thereby tormenting her.

[@ncpoloboy]

How they get Laurence Fishburne to play Cowboy Curtis is beyond me lol.

[@AutisticJoker88]

Hey, he was young and it wasn't like the movie industry was knocking at his door yet (granted the same year Season 1 was being made, he also worked on Nightmare On Elm Street 3, but still. He got work wherever he could back then)

[@thechaz83]

And starring on Pee Wee’s Playhouse probably didn’t do anything but help his career. Especially in retrospect

You realize everyone starts somewhere. He wasn’t big yet

Awwwww. We miss you Paul Reubens

[@duncanmurrell9203]

I'm an Englishman who was based in Alaska when Pee-wee was really big. Unfortunately I don't think he had any exposure in the UK....pun not intended. I'm just revisiting after the news of Paul's death. Wow! It's like Mr Rogers on acid....who most people in the UK also aren't familiar with unless they saw the Tom Hanks movie. I think kids today would love his show. It's so zany and fun. He didn't deserve having his reputation tarnished for doing something that so many guys have done without any harm to anyone else. I'm glad that he was able to reprise his role as Pee-wee and make a Netflix movie. I love director Director Guillermo del Toro's tribute to him "one of the patron saints of all misfitted, weird, maladjusted, wonderful, miraculous oddities".

Mr Rogers on Acid. I love it. Both so wholesome.

RIP Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens. In 2018, IFC ran a Pee-Wee's Playhouse marathon on Thanksgiving Day. It helped me heal some emotional wounds after I learned that my Burmese cat Linkin passed away the day before. My sister and I will remember him as "The Spleen" from the 1999 film Mystery Men (with Ben Stiller) as well. May the legacy of Paul Reubens' Pee Wee Herman live on...

Even though I was 38 years old when I watched, and totally ENJOYED, Pee Wee's Playhouse, I was unable to understand most of the lyrics in his theme song, but I liked the old "Betty Boop" style of it. So, today, August 7, 2023, for the first time EVER, I wondered if the lyrics to his theme song were online. THEY ARE!! And, as an EXTRA BONUS, Genius Lyrics also let me know that the female vocalist singing the song is CYNDI LAUPER!!!! How's THAT for a DOUBLE WHAMMY FIRST TIME experience? 😁😁😁

[@AutisticJoker88]

Actually, the show ended in 1990

[@ladavidson9269]

The reason it stopped, Reubens public behavior was inappropriate for kids & that's all I'm gonna say! I truly enjoyed this absurd show, a release during a high stress career

[@ladavidson9269]

[@MinecraftMartin]

@@ladavidson9269 Even though I was born a few decades later, cartoons from the 30s - 60s are still my favorite. They were so expressive back then.

[@AutisticJoker88]

@@ladavidson9269 Uhm, actually, it stopped before that... The real reason it ended was because at that point, Paul was exhausted and wanted to branch out to other things. He didn't want his career to be Media One Hit Wonder. Even if he was inappropriate for kids during that time, so what? He didn't create Pee-Wee Herman for kids originally. He created the character as an homage for Baby Boomers who were young adults at that point. The only reason he became a kid's act by default was because that was the market that he was making the most money off of at that point. The infamous scandal came a year after he ended the show.
