It's impossible to explain how the character of Pee-wee Herman has made a difference in my life, but here's how it all started. When my family was living in Tokyo in the 80’s, my Grandmother would send us VHS tapes that she recorded full of Saturday morning shows, tv movies, and all the latest content! Even though we were fascinated by local tv characters, our Japanese wasn't good enough to understand all of it. Grammy’s tapes were everything! She included all the best shows & commercials and made sure we didn’t miss out on pop culture for the fours years we lived overseas.

I’ve always loved making things and couldn’t get enough of Pee-wee’s silly charm and creativity. I was an instant fan! I wanted to jump into our magic screen and hang out at the Playhouse and make ice cream soup with him.

During our international school’s annual ski trip, we brought one of our beloved VHS tapes and played it as entertainment after dinner. I remember this night and the Pee-wee giant underwear episode so clearly! All of our classmates, parents, and teachers were laughing and everyone really enjoyed Pee-wee! He has a pure silliness that brings you to the perfect belly laugh no matter what your age. I really love that about his work! I remember Pee-wee reading fan mail from kids all over the world on his show the first season and I enjoyed when he mentioned places I had been or wanted to go! Pee-wee made it cool to be different and curious, and have all kinds of friends. He's absolutely one-of-a-kind and I’m so glad I got to grow up when and where I did and for my introduction to Pee-wee’s world at such a young age! It made a difference. 🎀✨

PEE WEE HERMAN THE DATING GAME 1979 REACTION

[thenetreactor]

Actor Paul Reubens, best known for playing Pee-wee Herman, has died at the age of 70 after a private battle with cancer. Reubens created the Pee-wee Herman character in 1978, and it became a cultural phenomenon, bringing out the kid in everyone.

On TMZ Live, actress E.G. Daily, who played Dottie in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," said that Reubens was an incredibly thoughtful soul, and there was a great distinction between Pee-wee and the man himself. Reubens issued a posthumous apology on his Instagram for not publicly addressing his health struggles.

Paul Reubens, 1952-2023

The secret word for today is SAD. I wasn’t expecting to wake up on an otherwise unremarkable Monday morning and be upset about the loss of Paul Reubens, who portrayed that guiding light of oddball children and a particular world of wondrously eccentric humor, Pee Wee Herman. Back before iPads or cell phones, a lot of a kid’s weekly excitement centered around shows they’d watch on Saturday mornings. Mom might go to Jim’s Bakery on Morro Bay Blvd. to pick up donuts for them to graze on (which didn’t help later in life) while enjoying the likes of The Smurfs, He-Man, Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget, Transformers and G.I. Joe. Eventually, an idiosyncratic, rebellious character burst onto the scene, with a distinctive style of dress and a view of the world that embraced the kaleidoscopic weirdness and wide-eyed sense of humor unique to childhood. 

With “Pee Wee’s Playhouse,” Reubens became the outsider’s Mister Rogers, coating life lessons and a respect for generosity and tolerance in a candy-colored frosting that was both nourishing and like riding a humungoid sugar buzz. You were never lonely in the company of Pee Wee or his merry band of larger-than-life friends, but filled with a passion for learning, creativity, and self-expression that manifested itself as you grew up and found your place in the world. You were momentarily excused from the anxieties of childhood and given permission to reach into your creative spirit to find whatever means would help you understand a life that so often defies comprehension.

Reubens later became one of the most unusual movie stars with the creation of the unimpeachable classic “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.” Written with Phil Hartman (RIP), Reubens crafted what remains one of the most inventive, sweet, and joyful films to come out of a decade rotten with greed and moral collapse. He tapped a shy, mumbling animator with two brilliant short films under his belt to debut as a director, and in turn gave the world the brilliantly distinctive vision of Burbank’s own Tim Burton. I suspect Reuben’s gift to the world he leaves behind will take years to calculate, especially for those of us reared in the warmth of his imagination.
