Paul Reubens, the actor best known for portraying the irrepressible, joyfully childlike Pee-wee Herman, died Sunday night after a private bout of cancer. He was 70.
He was 70? When did that happen?
Yesterday, sorry to say…
Sounds like it was cancer :( damnit. When can we figure out a cure instead of wasting time on war
It was.
/Cancer Sucks.
Fucking brain cancer. That hurts. Got to speak with him on a Zoom Cameo call in late 2021 and it was just a wonderful experience. Such a cool human being. Lost my mom to brain cancer in 2000. Always stings a little more when you hear about another having gone through it.
😞
I know, its a major bummer. I grew up on Pee-wee;s Play House as a kid. Then the other rolls like Cheech and Chong, Blow, etc the guy had massive depth as an actor.
Let’s not forget Mystery Men!
My God you’re absolutely right! He was amazing in that movie, I feel remiss for forgetting that role. What a great ensemble of actors, going to watch it now.
/Hamburger train… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’M NOT SORRY!
allow me to do a “came here for this”… he’s so damned funny as the farter man, he made me fucking die laughing
Hey! You get The Spleen’s name right!
Remember The SPLEEN!
i laugh like a chimp at the bar scene when Garofalo shuts down his attempt at a come-on
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is a godamned classic.
I love him in Batman Returns, it just cracks me up when I see him, but man he sold that role. Tons of people never even realized he was in it.Who did he play? I didnt even realize he was in it. I loved Batman Returns!
He was Penguins father in the beginning
Thats his genius, pre peewee he was a staple in the Cheech and Chong movies.
/fuck today is a darker world…
I never knew that, I’ll check that out thanks. I first knew him from Playhouse.
Hamburger train… Sorry, Sorry, I"M NOT SORRY!
/you’ll get it
Yes! Just made a comment about this elsewhere! That scene always cracks me up
Oh shit man, I loved Pee Wee as a kid. Its a shame all the ridicule he had to endure. He was a genuine entertainer.
Yeah, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is still great. And the small roles he had in a couple Cheech and Chong movies still make me laugh. That hamburger train thing is hilarious
I’m sorry I took the money.
Rest in peace. I first saw him in the Cheech and Chong Next Movie and only realized mamy years later he was already playing the Pee Wee Herman character then.
What an absolute legend. RIP
Phil Hartman was in the original stage show, The Pee-Wee Herman Show, which was not a kids show. And he was in the kids’ show.
Also Laurence Fishburne, Cowboy Curtis!
Why were you downvoted for saying this? I will never understand people…
