Love when he had his little PR disaster and he said he went and talked to Richard Pryor for advice and Pryor told him to own it and stop all the other people and Pee Wee came out on the awards show with the "Heard any good jokes lately?" and that pretty much was the end of that.
He got a hip take on the old vaudeville physical comedy in the tradition of Spike Jones and Jackie Gleason. Nearly everyone knows who Pee Wee Herman is. He'll live on through film and video.
There are so many of his little tag lines that pop up in my conversations from time to time that I forget where they came from. A fantastic entertainer with a brain from another dimension. Godspeed, Paul Reubens.
Loved peewees play house as a kid in the 80s. I used to rent Big adventure all the time when it came out.
Dude had a great quick wit. As I got older, I loved him as Hamburger man with cheech and Chong!
