Wow, Paul Reubens is a freaking genius. He had just barely started his comedy career, and he had that audience eating out of the palm of his hand! By the way, I hope you all realize that this is likely his first ever recorded performance of doing the iconic tequila dance, from the movie " Pee-wee's Big Adventure." This footage is a valuable piece of comedic history, and the perfect example of why the Pee Wee Herman character is so iconic, and why Paul Reubens is going to be remembered as a comic Legend. Paul Rubens well deserves a place in the Comedy Hall of Fame.

Well… not to spoil the fun but he *had* been doing this act/character for years at this point. The whole original gimmick of the Pee-Wee character was meant to be a send-up of the stand-up format. He was pretending to be this intentionally “bad” and inexperienced comic who was just starting out (hence the bit about him only having weeks of experience). In actuality he’d already been doing this character with The Groundlings for years in front of audiences.

You got that right! He didn't break character until 1991, a whole decade, where everyone thought he really was Pee-wee. If you asked a dozen people during the 80s who Paul Reubens is, I doubt anyone would know...but they'd sure be able to identify who PWH is! Very few have so completely inhabited a character that the lines between character & performer were blurred. Barry Humphries as Dame Edna, Jim varney as Ernest P. Worrell, or more recently, Daniel Whitney as Larry the Cable Guy come to mind; but no one took it as far as Reubens. I hate to bring it up, but I think that's what was so shocking about his arrest. His mugshot was so far removed from PWH that some fans felt legitimate betrayal.

OMG I had tears in my eyes😂. I first saw Pee Wee on his HBO special in the 80's and thought he was brilliant. Later I bought the VHS tapes of his TV show for my 3 yr old daughter in the 90's. She loved it. When she got a little older we watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure together, which we also loved. Try to think of another comedian who was actually playing to adults, acting like a kid, and was loved by both. The man was genius! From all accounts I've seen, in real life he was a caring, thoughtful and sweet friend to those he knew. Search for Conan's tribute to him recently on YT. RIP Paul Reubens.

I think a lot of people forget just how good Pee Wee is at stand up. The idea of being pissed off and bothered at the audience reaction to his own comedy is a genius move. Pee Wee and Letterman were always a great combo, too. I could never tell if David was really thrown off by Pee Wee's antics, or not (that was the genius of David Letterman, as well), and, combined with Pee Wee's awkwardness, it always made for good television.

I love Paul Reubens, I'm so glad that the world has finally gotten over that incident back in the 80s. Think about it, he was a grown ass man, who paid money to see a pornographic film, and got in trouble for touching himself during the film. No other human being would have been bothered by that, and thankfully we have moved on to less conservative mindsets, and people are more realistic about the fact that what he did was by no means as horrific as everyone acted at the time. He was just an adult touching himself during an adult film, there's nothing wrong with that. God bless Paul Reubens!

This was back when children's shows were children's shows, and here was one that kids could watch and enjoy, but also so strange and clever and quirky and artfully done that adults could enjoy it too... Just look at who PeeWee ended up employing, before they were famous: Laurence FIshburne as Cowboy Curtis, Phil Hartmann as Captain Carl... Reba the Mail Lady became a staple of Law and Order for years as Lieutenant Van Buren, Miss Yvonne is now Charlie's mom on It's Always Sunny...

One painful reality to bear when you age, is the inevitability of losing those you love and admire ➡️ devoted family, loyal friends, inspiring mentors, loving partners/spouses, beloved animal companions, & extraordinary entertainers and thinkers. Recently, for me, it was singers KT Oslin and Tina Turner. I feel human when they sing. And now Paul Reubens. I feel my carefree, freewheeling, childhood when he performed. I'll also mention Phyllis Diller and Rodney Dangerfield in tickling my funny bone. None of them were perfect or universally loved, but to note, none of them fanned any fires of negativity. They promoted joy and laughter.. God bless them.

I remember this HBO special because of the cookie recipe [his wife's] that Carl Reiner is giving to the audience piecemeal and having them repeat at the beginning of this bit. At the end of the show he claims that during his entire professional career he never once cursed on television but decided to exclaim that his wife's recipe made a 'great fucking cookie' and went ahead sharing the cookies asking audience members if it wasn't 'the greatest fucking cookie' they had ever tasted. It was brilliant. I also remember this guy. Pee-Wee Herman who was so good at this imitation of a 12 year old that you almost believe it. The way he keeps turning around as if there's someone behind him doing something funny by possibly mocking him behind his back has always struck me as genuine. Paul went through some very public stuff at the height of his Pee-Wee success which I found to be more a media circus than a teaching moment for all of us and that is a shame. This is one of the funniest debuts [to the national audience] ever!

He had this weird mix of innocence, immaturity yet then he'd yell shut or have a little nuance that just kept you captived. True artist in comedic timing, delivery, completely unique and genuine. Simple yet so many layers, that made him a genius of his craft & among his colleagues. He is truly missed and truly a treasure to this world. We love you Pee Wee Herman! ❤❤❤❤ Ps... That lady was such a good sport & lucky! If I'd have been that close to him, I'd have wanted to throw him over my shoulder & take him home. 😉😁❤

I'm convinced Pee Wee's crowd work was better than his movie(s) 9:46 The birth of the Pee Wee dance.❤

Paul Reubens was one of a kind.. which is a good thing. We could only handle one Pee-wee Herman. He is a comic genius and a master of his craft. He and his work is an inspiration and should be a model for any artist desiring to create a unique expression with integrity…

Wow, almost 40 years ago and we see how inspiring he was. Seems like Bobcat Goldthwait may have taken a page from Pee Wee and the character "Stewart" on Mad TV may have gotten some inspiration from Pee Wee as well. I remember when he was caught in the adult movie theater and everyone was talking about it. He was on the MTV video music awards ( I think ) and his opening line was "Heard any good jokes lately?" referring to this incident. What a great way to accept his situation I thought. Brilliant response. Glad to see in the comments that he is still enjoyed. Good on you Pee Wee, good on you.

We watched this when it came out and PeeWee was an instant hit in our house. RIP. Everyone was excited when he got his movie and TV show.

Pee-wee is amazing as a standup character. Damn. Unbelievably good concept and execution. Worked just as well here, as when he was a character in a movie, and a host of a kids show. The character is surprisingly consistent through all his iterations, and worked just as well in every context.

Netflix did a Christmas special in 2016! I think it's still on there! I adored him as a child and it's so fun introducing my son to him. Wish he could have done more movies and got back to something of his own as well. Always missed and never forgotten 💔 ❤

@Rage Theatre2020 The story was there were other guys in the theatre actually having sex and that's why the cops were called. They were gone by the time the police arrived but figured they could make it worth their while by finding somebody. Paul and his friends were just masturbating but that was enough to get busted. The other question would be why go to a theatre rather than at home with a video. Easy answer to that one; he was back home and staying at his parents house and thought it best to do this with his buddies there. It was, indeed, total bullshit and an invasion of his civil rights to go public. It was also a teaching moment for all of us within the public's "right to know" and what amounted to a public lynching of a funny, brilliant and genuine human being. "Okay? Okay!"
