«Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness. Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.

7/26/91: 32 years ago today, Pee Wee Herman was arrested for indecent exposure in a XXX theatre. I remember a shirt with his mug shot on it was all the rage at the first Lollapalooza
EDIT: NO, Paul Reubens did NOT knowingly have child xxx in his home. He was NOT a scumbag so stop posting that on the tags and comments. Look it up before trying to tarnish his name! He actually handled his arrest very well and had a strong come back so stop assuming things that are untrue and stop spreading false information! 🙄

Paul Reubens was such a cultural icon. I’ve always been in awe of his creation of Pee-wee, and how he used that in such a unique way. There was a real gentleness to him that I think was a key ingredient. I remember seeing the HBO special of his live show way back when and, at the time especially, it was this whole other amazing world. And that really is his legacy. He created a whole world that we were allowed to be witness to. R.I.P. ❤️

RIP Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens, aged 70.
Beez McKeever, longtime Wardrobe, bot costume maker, and Prop Mistress of MST3k (even in the new seasons) shared a nice memory of him on her IG bezzworx:
"Paul Reubens was my comedy hero. After receiving my fan letter back in the 80s, he called me on the phone, he upgraded my seats to his show at the Guthrie where he called me on stage for a bit of improv. He coaxed me to do my rendition of his "Hand Monster Game", an impersonation that I'd boasted about in my letter. The crowd ROARED with laughter and Pee Wee pretended to stamp away having been upstaged. I've never been so happy. That beautiful moment lit a fire in me, an aspiration to find a place in comedy for myself. It's no exaggeration to say he helped shape my life. I'm absolutely gutted that he's gone."

Fuck.
I can't even tell you how many times I've seen Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Countless. It's one of my go-to comfort flicks. And I never missed an episode of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Anytime he popped up in a non-Pee-Wee role (Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Flight of the Navigator! Mystery Men! Blow!), I felt a rush of joy.
RIP Paul Reubens.
