Pee Wee's facial expressions are just priceless! 😂

[charlenehastings]

Pee-wee Herman was an amazing person and I hope and pray that he’s in heaven doing his Pee-wee Herman gig. He made me laugh so much and I feel terrible that he’s gone.

[calm]

When you saw Pee Wee you automatically had a smile on your face. 😊

I loved Pee Wee Herman and I always loved watching Pee Wee's Playhouse on Saturday mornings

[IanChristopherson-tv]

I think one of the things that made the character Pee-Wee so compelling, and beloved is that he was a little bit naughty.
He was kind of a stinker, but in a very adorable way.

The most refreshing part of this skit is they both were truly ACTING, and not reading prompters off set.

"Oh, yeah... I saw that accident." Then comes a brilliant reaction from Pee Wee.

The late great Pee Wee Herman stuck in a cell with George Santos...
And also this genius of comedy. Loved by millions and gone far too soon.

I haven’t seen something that made me feel this nostalgic in a very long time….I didn’t laugh much at this sketch, but I couldn’t stop smiling.

My dad used to do the Lovitz, "yea, yea, that's it, that's the ticket" stuff all the time. I really didn't know it was from a SNL skit/character. Enjoy seeing all these Pee-wee things come up that I missed as a kid. Lovitz and Pee-wee is a great combo!

Our world was BRIGHTENED by the sunshine when Paul was with us! There was laughter that was so SORELY needed and is even MORE NEEDED in these tumultuous days we are now living in! There was imagination, there was fantasy, and the ability for all of us to travel back to our childhood again. Paul so skillfully transported us there!

You were a beautiful soul.

Now the sunshine has gone out. But it’s gonna forever live in our hearts and through his movies. RIP, Pee Wee. You’ll never be forgotten!

They kept me in a a "A BIRD CAGE!"
oh sh>t, I can't breathe over here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dvdjkaufmn]

2:11 "Now youre being silly." 😂😂😂😂

[KidFresh]

Rubens always played Pee Wee in a delightfully edgy way, but with underlying vulnerability. A massive talent.

[atomicagegamer]

I like how the Tommy character is always a little timid at first and then gradually builds up steam.

[glitterspray]

Two of my favorite characters, one of my favorite sketches.

[mikereyes]

"They use to cut off my head every night so i couldnt escape" 😂😂😂

[KevinLong-jrzv]

John Lovitz . I loved him in High School High. I will never forget that movie 😊

[souettequinn]

Damn. I hope Paul Rubens knew just how much joy he brought to us.

Pee Wee didn't die, he's living in my basement, no in my attic, he only comes down to make me chicken Alfredo, no pepperoni pizzas, when I ask him to, no whenever he feels like it. Yeah, that's it, pepperoni pizzas whenever he feels like it
