Pee Wee Herman/ Paul Rubens has died at 70. Did you ever see his movie or his TV show?

couldn't avoid him growing up. he was everywhere. as a kid i really liked Pee Wee's Playhouse. his movies were also good. Big Top Pee Wee was a favorite of mine. a fun fantastical movie that kids could certainly enjoy from that imaginative perspective.

I never saw his TV show as I was way too old for that... LOL... And I never saw his "Big Adventure" movie although I'd like to see it just because it is now in the news with his passing. I do remember seeing him interviewed on TV talk shows. I also remember seeing a Cheech and Chong movie called "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie" and he had a role in that. Interesting guy and interesting career.

Wow, yes I did. However, I was born in the Philippines and well I didn't really grow up with that stuff. Only when I came here to the U. S. did I know about him when I was still relatively young. That's sad.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Yes I remember watching his movies as a kid. My favorite though was watching him play a vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1992. Many might not know of the film and only know of the TV show but it's a cult classic for me.

Grew up watching Pee-Wee, it’s a sad day. I watched Pee-Wee’s Playhouse every Saturday morning, and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure was one of my go-to movies. A lot of it even holds up as an adult. I like him in the movie Blow too, even though he did George Jung dirty and cut him out as the middle man in their trafficking operation, haha.

RIP to an 80s legend.

Do you remember him in Matilda too lol

[WhiteSteve]

@DizzyDesii haha, no, by the time Matilda came out I was a senior in high school👨‍🦳 I was trying to watch movies that were more like Blow at that point😝

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaha I get it

[Curmudgeon]

I did. For those of us who were young adults or teenagers at the time, it was a throwback to the kiddie shows we once watched, only a bit more edgy. (Given what later happened to Paul Reubens, perhaps a bit too edgy).

[Curmudgeon]

Anyway, while I know he had drug problems, 70 still seems too young to go nowadays. RIP. :(

[DizzyDesii]

I liked his movies more than the show. It was a bit weird especially for the late night hour it was on adult swim. Bt yea i enjoyed all of it

[Nikki1989]

R. I. P. and all that, but he was one of the most irritating people in the history of show business and apparently a huge pervert.

[exitseven]

I did watch the show once and would not allow my kids to watch it. He was a perv.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Never watched Pee Wee Herman

[AngryCarl2]

No, never. I always thought he looked retarded.

[Anonymous]

Ok that guy was weird. He possessed CP and he was caught masterbating in a P theater with a bucket of popcorn.

[EmmaMary]

Until now I'd never even heard of him.

[Soxie]

No, I never did 🙂

[CrimsonAngel09]

Missing out kid.
