Pee-wee Herman and Conan bring the story of Ash Wednesday to life, sort of. They seem to be foggy on some of the details.
Whether you like it or not, fact is that the iPad is a hot ticket right now — even Pee-wee Herman is in on the tablet action! Funny or Die released this hilarious video of what life would be like in the playhouse if Pee-wee brought home an iPad. A video that subsequently reminded me of how geeky the show really was way back then. A robot and a "Magic Screen" back in the '80s? Way ahead of your time, Pee-wee. Way ahead.
Why the hell would you want to wake up and have breakfast with this borderline creepy man-child? We know what happens when we make the mistake of not paying Pee Wee Herman any attention. Maybe it's because we secretly love Pee Wee? I'm just saying . . .
Knowing what we know now about Paul Reubens, the man who played Pee-wee Herman in the '80s, this sketch involving a random pair of giant underpants lying around the playhouse is a little jarring. Through a number of demonstrations, he reminds the kids at home that they could do "a lot of really cool stuff with a pair of giant underpants." Oh Pee-wee, let's keep our fetishes to ourselves, yes?
Before Pee Wee exposed his wee wee in an adult theatre, his goofball antics apparently made him an authority figure for children. In this PSA from who knows when (late 80's?), the man who talked to stuffed chairs and other inanimate objects tells children crack isn't good for you. (Thanks, Bella!)
Pee Wee Herman: What did we ever see in that guy? Looking back, he's annoying as hell. And who would've guessed that his downright indecent antics would land him in the slammer one of these days? ...Yeah, okay. We all predicted it.
