No basement at the Alamo Pee-Wee!! But you can find one at the Biden residence where you can also find Biden.
So sad.
An awesome, under-rated actir and artistic genius.
😂
..REST! IN PEACE! ⚰🕯🙏😇
Reunited with his bicycle❤
Rest in peace sir. You brought great joy to my family.
RIP
Yeah yeah, the man dies and ya'll run a smear story disguised as an obit. Disgusting and I don't even like him.
I'm surprised they didn't say Trump did it.
Rest In Peace.
Out of all the accomplishments Paul Reubens made in his lifetime, Brian chose to talk about nothing but negativity.
R.I.P enjoy your new playhouse in heaven.
Crazy how it takes a lifetime to build a reputation, but only a moment to ruin it. People will focus on that one time he did something to offend those conservatives out there, but ignore his impact and how he opened so many doors for so many. RIPower Paul Reubens/ Pee Wee Herman!!
Pee-wee was definitely an 80's icon..he did have a weird sense of humor but thats what made him so unique in his acting career
Im so beside myself right now. He was my childhood😢

He was a genius he will be missed
Huge loss, he was an icon. He will be missed a lot.
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure: “I know you are but what am I.”
RIP Mr. Ruebens and say hey to Large Marge for us. 😊
This is so very sad… He gave so many children and adults such joy and happiness throughout his lifetime…Praying for his family and friends…😢🙏🏼❤️
Rip
Wasn't he a kiddie fiddler
2:19 mark. Possession of obscene material that included a minor. How is that down-played? Isn't there a word for that?
Time to watch "Flight of the Navigator" Rubens voiced the ship.
You can absolutely remember him without bringing up the dirt. If you do this with him, then every actor that dies from a OD, or another shameful past better get the same treatment. Shame on you for throwing dirt, he's not even cold yet
Oh no!!
I loved Pee Wee when we came to US. Favorite Saturday show as a kid.
His maniacally mirth and madcap manner will be missed dearly.
Exposed himself in an adult theatre?!?! 🤦♂️ doesn't everybody in those places?
He’s going to the great peep-show booth in the sky…
pee wee encouraged me to buy an XJ-5000 e-bike. Best toy I ever had.
Oh no………😢
💔
Its been real
It’s been fun
and my God has it been real fun
R.I.P. Pee-Wee your a Legend thats one of a kind
He wasn't perfect…NO ONE is…terrible reporting and interpretation of an otherwise HILARIOUS actor…
Cancer sucks…it takes so many lives…sad to hear of his passing
Our 80’s hero’s are leaving us death is taking all our memories
We love Pee Wee, even though his sexuality was like that of a Republican Senator. "… the sea, Pee, the sea…"
There goes another part of my childhood. Rest in peace ✌️ Pee Wee. You always made me laugh every Saturday morning and Im gonna miss you ❤️
The second time he was arrested for material. Is and was an art book of study of how the body moves. photos from 1920. There was a woman and child walking and running. Today would be a study of animation. This same book was at my art school. Was nothing dirty about it.
Also, when that happened. Diane Sawuer, ABC news special, talked with Courteney Cox Arquette along with her husband, David. About he isn't a child predator or anything worse than that.
Paul Reubens deserves our respect. He's gone now. Rest In Peace sir. Thank you for making many of us laugh.
SIN is a dishonorable hindrance to ANYONE'S "Legacy"……LORD have Mercy on us ALL..
So sad to hear of his passing😢
RIP Pee-Wee
RIP PeeWee😢
Horrible report on a great talent. Too focused on the negative. The man just died. Terrible reporting.
I was a student at Cal Arts living in the dorm, 1972-74 when he was an acting student also living in the dorm, as Paul Reubenfeld (his full name) before he became a professional.
He was awesome ' but why does the Media haves to pull out Weiner Gate ..so what.!?! every one on earth has done that.
He was good in the movie Blow with Johnny Depp
