Don't I Get A Last Request?

I have to thank Brother Jordan for posting this scene. I have been looking for it forever. I used to make these mixed video tapes of some of my favorite scenes to send to people (yeh, I needed the validation even back in the 80s) and this scene was always included.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure is one of those movies that I laughed out loud when I first saw it. Maybe five other movies had that effect on me in my whole life. I find everything Reubens does as Pee Wee to be so weird and ridiculous that I just have to laugh. I enjoyed his kid's show too. He's like John Waters if Waters had started his film career twenty years later. That is the greatest praise I can give to Reubens because I hold John Waters in the highest regard.

 

Pee-wee Herman is a comic fictional character created and portrayed by American comedian Paul Reubens. He is best known for his two television series and film series during the 1980s. The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. As the stage performance gained further popularity, Reubens took the character to motion picture with Pee-wee's Big Adventure in 1985, toning down the adult innuendo for the appeal of children. This paved the way for Pee-wee's Playhouse, an Emmy Award winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986-1991. Another film, Big Top Pee-wee, was released in 1988.
