Big s Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I just heard the news. Love Pee Wee as a kid and the slightly more adult version before he was famous. I also got a kick out of his roles in Cheech and Chong films as well as the goofy vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hopefully he will be remembered more for his humor and less for that infamous theater incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still watch that movie. Despite a name like Pee-Wee, Reubens had a really big impact, and all for the better. Hope he's having a blast on Reuben's Great Adventure!

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I didn't know he was 70. RIP to an 80's icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The best quote I heard about him, about Pee Wee really, was something like "he was completely wholesome, and completely subversive". I think that summed it up perfectly. RIP and thanks for the laughs! Tell Large Marge hello for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarbarian Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I also didn't realize he was 70. Just seemed eternally youthful to me. In addition to the ones people have mentioned, he did a great heel turn as Pavel on Tron: Uprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
