RIP Pee-wee Herman

GF is a huge fan, she is crushed.

Maybe my favorite line of his is in Vacation (which is just okay, but has about 3-4 mind-shatteringly funny lines). Joe Manganiello is telling him he is an actor from LA, but PeeWee hasn't heard of him.

JM: you don't know who I am?

PW: How could I? Why would I?

JM: I'm Joe...Manganiello.

PW: Well, pleasure to meet you,Joe Man...

JM: Manganiello.

PW: Sorry, trick ear. One more time.

JM: Manganiello. I'm an actor.

PW: I'm told show business can be very competitive,
so hang on to your dreams and who knows?
 
“I know you are but what am I?”

Pee Wee's Big Adventure was amazing. Pee Wee acting, Tim Burton directing and musical score by Danny Elfman. Triple dose of awesome. Big Top Pee Wee gets a bad rap but was still solid, I mean Penelope Ann Miller and Valeria Golino :)

Big Adventure should've been a number 1 seed.;)
 
Rest in Peace Pee Wee. My first contact was an HBO special in 81 with Fishburne and Phil Hartman. Excessive over the top adolescent nerd humor. I enjoyed the fact that he always screwed with Letterman. On at least one occasion tried to get Dave to feed him.
I wonder how many It's Always Sunny fan's recognize Charlie's Mom as Ms. Yvonne from Playhouse.

Ahhh, Ms. Yvonne. I don't think you could get away with that much cleavage in todays kids programming.

I was in the right age group (now 41) but never really watched. I know he had his indecent exposure issue in the early 90s and child porn issue in early 2000's, but certainly had a big impact on a lot of 80s/90s youth. Always sad to see an icon of an era go.


It's crazy how he got charged with indecent exposure in an adult theater. Never have been but....what happens in there..

I remember some comedian doing a bit about how Pee Wee got caught. "Who's the guy that's on jerk off patrol at adult movie theaters? Why do adult movie theaters exist if you can't jerk off?"
