RIP. Goofy material but always brought a smile to my face.

Pee Wees Big Adventure is one of the funniest movies ever.

Goodbye old friend.

I hope they have extra large popcorn boxes and lots of butter wherever he goes next. They are gonna need it.

I'm guessing he hasn't seen any good movies lately.

RIP

Wonder how many will get the joke. This is definitely one of the better RIP references I’ve seen.

I wouldn’t admit I don’t know what a Reuben is.

It went over my head. I'll admit it.

I'm assuming Reuben. It took me like a moon cycle, but I got it.

O wait, it was already explained. Derp.

Crazy that he had cancer for 6 years and hid it from the public. When you get to the pearly gates, tell them Large Marge sent ya.

Paul Reubens's father Milton Rubenfeld was a British, American, and Israeli hero. He volunteered as pilot for the RAF before US entered the war, the later for the USAAF. He was also one of the original 5 combat pilots in the IAF, volunteering in 1948.

If there is any justice in the world, they'll dig a small basement below the Alamo, and bury him there.

RIP Tink...

Am I correct in assuming that “Pee Wee” is a reference to the little people that took up residence inside his head??? At any rate…

Good night, sweet prince…

This one actually hits a little harder. Pee Wee and his show and movies really resonated with me. It was the first show/media type thing that I liked, and my parents didn’t. They never forbade me to watch it or anything like that, but it definitely got the side eye and the gas face from them. Of course that made me want to watch it even more.

Pee Wee was also a weird looking goofball, but still had lots of friends and everyone loved him. As I’ve stated before on the board, I was nerd-adjacent and not a total weirdo, but having him on TV and knowing that weird or odd could be cool was a nice feeling.

It was also super quotable movie at the time. Most of us of a certain age could probably watch the movie with no sound and do the dialogue perfectly.

R.I.Pee Wee. You were a good’n.

Paging Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman you have a telephone call at the Pearly Gates.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Exactly! I bought this pen exactly one hour before my bike was stolen. Why? What's the significance? I DON'T KNOW!

Love a good Rueben. That one looks amazing.

It's weird how everyone is just pretending he wasn't busted for possession of child porn.

The 2 most famous people shot in the back of the head in a theater were Lincoln and the guy sitting in front of Ruebens.
