The GOAT
My girlfriend and I often disagree on movies we want to watch, but I have put my foot down that tomorrow night for our movie night, we will be watching “Pee-Wees Big Adventure”. It breaks my heart that the guy felt so shunned that he didn’t make many appearances after his public exposure incident. That whole thing never bothered me in the slightest, I mean look at what is coming out about Hollywood right now!? The real pervert, was whoever was actually looking at him in that theater. I wish I could go back in time and kick them in the face before they ever made a police report. This man never put his hands on a woman. I understand that jerking off in public is not exactly a great thing, but it’s not like he was doing it at a children’s playground. In terms of public spaces to jerk off, he chose the most acceptable venue. It was a mistake, but I just love the guy. I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio has sex with women young enough to be his daughter. Literally multiple women every month. It’s not a crime per se but it is really weird. However, if I had that level of money and fame, I would be lying. If I said, I probably would not be doing a similar thing! But if I take a step back, no, I would not be doing that. That’s my early 20s brain talking. I much prefer having a deep relationship.
EG Daily was my 80s sweetheart ❤
Such a Sad, Tragic News about Paul Reubens passing last week. Thanks so much, Pee Wee Herman, for making our Childhood Years Spectacular and Incredible. My Most Deepest Condolences, Prayers and Respect to Paul's Family and Friends. 😔😞😢😭🤲🛐📿🙏😇👼👼🕊️🕊️
It’s still so weird to me. I was watching this movie back to back the last few days, kept putting the DVD in when I didn’t feel like watching anything else, and then I seen he passed. 💔 RIP Paul, and thank you for being a part of my childhood. 🙏🕊
Dottie!!!!!
I had the "pee wee herman" dance down in 80s. It was huge. RIP my friend.
Throughout this conversation Elizabeth Daily refers to Paul Reubens in the present tense. I've done this in the past for not wanting to talk about a loved one in the past tense just yet.
You awful woman.
Paul didn't want you to talk about his death.
You phony woman.
I have loved EG Daily for decades! I also grew up loving Pee-Wee Herman as well and was a big fan. RIP Paul Reubens 😢
Tweaker chick
My fist childhood crush! She’s still as gorgeous as ever. I would love to meet her one day, give her a hug, and say thank you. Also, rest well Pee Wee Herman. Your genius comedy and gentle nature will be missed. I hadn’t thought about him in a long time but his death really affected me. He was also a huge part of my childhood. I had all the playhouse characters. Goodbye Pee Wee and be sure to tell ‘em large marge sent you. (Stole that from someone else)
I will miss you Paul Ruben you are an inspiration to us all your very funny making me laugh watch your TV show and your movie growing to those
even more sad that such a cutie did that to self and now looks horrible…
Let's not cry and be sad because he passed away, let's be happy and laugh because he lived.
E. G. will always be Tommy Pickles and Buttercup in my heart also rip to Pee Wee
WOW she doesn’t look or sound anything like she use to in the 80’s RIP PeeWee
Francis now is the time to give back the bike you took….RIP Pee-Wee
Norm Macdonald, Gilbert Gottfried, and now Paul Reubens. Unless you're an A-lister, you really don't trend if you're still living.
Peewee❤❤😂
RIP Paul Reuben’s
Still pretty lady and kind words
I thought her name was Elizabeth.
RIP Pee-Wee
Babe!
Pee Wee's biggest adventure was that night in the adult movie theater.
I’m 25 and I loved watching older movies when I was growing up, I found Pee Wees Big Adventure to be one of the funniest things ever made!! Another legend we lost 🙁
She’s beautiful.
Rip pee wee
There's only two celebrities I cried for when they died: Neil Peart of Rush was one of them.
PeeWee is the other. We didn't have to be told what greatness was…we just knew.
EG aged in reverse! She is still a hot little broad today!
Now when I watch Cheech & Chong's Next Movie & Nice Dreams… I gotta put it in the air for Pee Wee.
She is spot on I knew Paul was a really sweet guy smiling and listening. I talked to him on the phone from Time to time and he never wanted to talk about him it was always how are you how are the kids and family. What did I have planned for dinner little things I miss him already
She's a Hot Cougar.
Damn Dottie still looking cute 😍
R.i.p Pee Wee 😢 gonna miss him
Pee Wee always makes me smile! Even after all these years!!🙂❤
it's tommy pickles
I'm so sad he died. I had an overactive imagination as a kid and felt embarrassed about it but Paul showed me its perfectly OK. He's such a great man for this. RIP Paul
Rip peewee ull will be missed 😥
Who is EG Daily?
God bless Paul Rubens soul. 🙏
If not for watching some old peewee videos I wouldn't have learned of his death.
Just finished watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure just like 5 minutes ago I also did a tribute to him on my channel so sad he passed away so many memories of watching pee wee's playhouse Saturday mornings I remember whenever they would show the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure I would be glued to the TV watching the movie I had a crush on EG Daily loved her voice she is so gorgeous watching how she wanted to hug and kiss Pee Wee when she brought his bike back Pee Wee only cared about his bike 😂😂 what a great movie I have to watch Big Top Pee Wee next R.I.P Paul Reubens thanks for being a part of my childhood plenty of laughs.
EG Daily is an absolute treasure! 💎 Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents for us to enjoy!
She is still lovely! Glad she remained friends with him.
Ms tommy pickles
Valley girl, Paul was a deprived horny ghoul, I relate
Pee Wee was amazing.
