My wife and I have a 34 year old son who is autistic. He went through a very tough time in the early 2,000’s where seizures were routine. We all got through it by watching Pee Wee’s Big Adventure every day for almost a year. We take that very worn VHS tape out from time to time and play it. We know all the dialog by heart. Thanks Paul Reubens. Rest In Peace.

This isn't anywhere near the same thing but my (at the time) beloved girlfriend of five years broke up with me in 2008 and I wound up staying at a relative's house the weekend after, just to "escape". For some reason they'd happened to have rented the 1982 horror film Creepshow, which I'd already seen a hundred times since childhood. But as a distraction I threw the dvd in and started watching it, and damn if I didn't watch it three or four more times in a row, alone in that living room, until I was finally soothed enough to go to sleep. I'll never forget that memory. There's nothing heartwarming about that film, but it was a comfort. It was something I was familiar with, and had always enjoyed, and for some reason it occupied me enough that for that very important night it took the pain away and allowed me to focus on a positive instead of a negative, which I was in desperate need of at that time. It's a magical thing that movies can take us away from the harsh reality of the real world and bring us to a place of enjoyment and peace. I could only imagine how I would have felt that night if I'd had Pee-Wee's Big Adventure at my disposal, though. :)

For my birthday, my mom and I saw Conan on tour at Radio City Music Hall. It wasn't the show where Stewart and Colbert showed up, but the next day where Paul briefly appeared as Pee-Wee. A lady in the audience yelled, "I love you, Pee-Wee!" Without missing a beat, he answered, "If you love me so much, why don't you marry me?!" The whole place exploded. It was wonderful. One of the best days I ever spent with my mom, who passed away last year.

Paul reminded me of an eccentric Mr. Roger's. He seemed totally harmless and even a little fragile. I remember as a kid, the pornography thing just seemed like overblown and mean-spirited click-bait.

@smward87 Год назад

Yeah if he was literally anyone else, it wouldn't have been a scandal at all. Every other dude in that theatre was doing the exact same thing, it's literally why it existed. But because he was a celebrity and a "children's entertainer" (even though Pee-Wee's Playhouse started as a stage show that was not intended for children at all) it was a big deal and people thought he was a huge pervert. But yeah, he paid some fines and did some community service PSAs (the infamous Pee-Wee talks about crack video is one such PSA) and that was that.

@HairyBottom Год назад

@@Ladran_SanchoI think the vid he is referring to is when Conan was let go from The Tonight Show. It was the last show he did for TTS and towards the end Conan gave a nice speech about not being bitter and to have a positive attitude- that everything happens for a reason. I believe he addressed young people directly, he said : 'don't be cynical. I hate cynicism. It will get you nowhere'. Then he got on stage with Billy Gibbons, Will Ferrell and I believe Chad Smith (and a few other musicians) and jammed to Skynyrds Free Bird. Apologies if I got anything incorrect, this is all off the top of my head. It's on YT. Look it up. You'll be glad you did.

@FurtiveSkeptical Год назад

As a child of the 70's and 80's up until present day 2023....I have never associated any negative thing to Mr. Reubens and his memory, with the exception of the horrible and unjust way the industry and others treated him. I associate nothing but laughter, Joy, artful quick thought, a childlike , honest innocence, volatile comedic timing, a wallow in absurdity, an example of empathy in an intelligent wrapper. Intelligent and Humbly Dignified and a Grounded , real Individual. His influence on our generation probably greatly surpassed his own estimate of such a thing. Thanks Paul Reubens.❤

@tocu98 Год назад

I had the puzzle peices come together on the impact of my entertainment taste he touched. Years ago I found out Phil Hartman was the fisherman on the stage version of the playhouse before it got a TV finding out the legend came from improving with Paul started opening my eyes a bit to his importance. A few years later I hear him on a pod cast going in depth on the making of Big Adventure and find out he had asked for Burton but the studio said everyone has tried to get him to direct but no one could Burton did it for Paul, I assume because how big Pee Wee was culturely and how much the studio wanted Burton gave them freedom to make that movie what it needed to be. That movie also saw the incredible partnership of Burton with Elfman and the now incredible composing career he has had. I say all this to say ya he had a massive impact on our generation but Burton credits him in part for him having the Directing career he has had and that has had an impact on so much. The industry did throw him away when he had 1 mistake that really cause no harm to anyone. Because of that we may never fully understand how far in the ocean his ripples go.

@@dawn8542 I think that's just some people's way to say 'you got this', like 'don't give up'. Of course you have no other choice than to be "brave" so it's a bit of an unsensitive thing to say.

I saw Paul live twice. Once as peewee and once as himself and it hit me hard when he passed the other day, I grew up with him on my TV throughout my life. I agree Paul was a quick witted hilarious thoughtful human who just could talk for hours on a stage and yet be captivating and hilarious by just being his genuine self. He's left a big hole in this world.

What he faced was no different than other celebrities flaws.. whether it was drugs, theft, prostitution, etc etc. in our own worlds we often forget we are still humans, capable of flaw at any given moment. He had a great heart and that’s something many don’t have, he was kind and genuine. Thank you for the laughs and memories Mr. Reubens. Rest for now!

I believe in the Woo: when my dad passed, also from cancer, a hawk circled our house in a tight pattern for half an hour, keening the whole time, then a rainbow broke in the east horizon, and a strange phone call was received, just crackling static with ethereal hymns heard faintly in the background. A lifelong Unitarian, my dad went all out to try to settle one aspect of an unsettled question for his family.

I am sorry to hear of your fathers passing😢 I love to hear the beautiful gifts that are left for loved ones to discover. I have had this happen when a loved one has passed in a dream or a sign is my passion. I think if more people knew their connections with others goes way beyond skin and flesh. I believe in a spirtitual connection that years later still signs come to me from my mother, and my sister both passing in 2014. I take comfort knowing that my belief gives me not just strength to know of life after passing but a faith that gets stronger everyday from the lives of the beautiful souls that surround us everyday. I am happy you saw your father special gifts. Bless you and your family.

Yeah, this one hurt a lot because it was seemingly out of the blue because he had kept his illness private. He certainly meant a lot to the kids who grew up in the 1980's. My dad used to wake up and watch Pee Wee's Playhouse with me on Saturday mornings as a kid and we would both laugh. My friends and I still quote Pee Wee's Big Adventure to this day. One of the best movies ever so funny and entertaining and original. Also, loved Paul in Blow. He will certainly be missed. I re-watched Big Adventure this week again in his honor.

I saw the news in the morning as well and I felt like I was in this weird cloud all day long. And still, I'm thinking of him constantly too like Conan said, and I'm working on my own tribute to him, just because I feel like I need to talk about him to anyone willing to listen. This was a tough loss. It hit different. I grew up in the '80's so he was always there. Whether as Paul, or Peewee, I was so thrilled to see him. And when he showed up either unannounced or announced anywhere in either one of his personas, I turned into that kid part of me again and smile, the entire time he was there. He will be missed. ❤💔

@Chloe.zyxwvu Год назад

Few celebrities remained supportive of Paul Reubens over the years. Despite the lack of favor that befell him, I adored his legacy. One of my child’s first words was Pee Wee and it was the first and, for a time, the only show she cared for. I was so happy to share one of my most beloved childhood treasures with her and relive one of the few endearing parts of my youth. Kindness, eccentricity, and a love for all things and all people were Reubens essence. I was elated when, years ago, Conan openly shared his private and deep respect for Reubens craft and contributions to the world of entertainment, and the true innovation that was his show. Upon hearing of Reubens passing, I immediately thought of Conan. While Paul ‘Pee Wee’ Reubens left us with his gift of laughter, his passing leaves this world a little less colorful. What he did not see is the happiness and wonderment he continued to inspire in children through either streams of his show, or through the adults he helped raise via syndication. Paul, Here’s to seeing you forever on our screens, and in our dreams. P.S. Conan, your stories and your heart are the healing we all need. Not just now, but for as long as you can give them. They are the gifts you continue to leave for us. Good night.
