Paul Reubens, known for the character Pee-Wee Herman, has passed at the age of 70 after a private bout with cancer, according to a post on his official Instagram.
Not going to lie, he was one of those guys I never even thought about as a mortal. Pee-Wee was larger than life.

I remember watching Pee-wee's Playhouse when I was young.
Inspired casting
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Edit: Okay, someone else pointed out why I think he was important. For kids of a certain age, his show was where we learned it's okay to be weird.
He’s a human SpongeBob, is how I would relate it.
Fucking.
Dammit.
Or Bluey/Bingo, now that I’m attuned to it, I’m very appreciative of stuff that shows kids and parents “how to play”
I always loved the shows end sequence.
It obviously didn't work for everyone but I think it's amazing how Reubens managed to thread the needle of earnest man child, sarcastic gen x kid's host and heartfelt adult

It was sad enough when we had to switch from the incredibly degraded home VHS recording pulled off the TV to a DVD, and lost all the original commercials.

What Krusty the Klown is meant to be a satire of. A clown running an inexplicably popular kid's show that big Hollywood names all keep guest starring on.
Have you tried hating people with bad or no insurance?
Cause hating politicians isn't going to get you there quick.
Krusty is almost explicitly Bozo the Clown, the longrunning morning kid's show out of Chicago.
I inagine that Reubens was also influenced by Bozo, though.
I had to watch the start of this twice because due to the degraded audio the first time I thought he said "See all you perverts later!"
worth noting that Major City's Local Celebrity Clown used to be a way more common thing, Bozo was just the last man standing for a good while there
And then he can go find Large Marge up there while he's at it.

But for me? He was always the spaceship from Flight of the Navigator. Such an amazing little kids scifi movie.

Fuck it, I'm watching this tonight.
Edit: if it weren't so expensive, the idea of a themed bar/grille that went that in on a sci-fi theme would be awesome.
I watched Flight of the Navigator like a million times as a kid and had no idea that was actually him
I knew he did the Pee Wee voice but I figured it was just like a parody or a joke or whatever, that's crazy
It always kind of blows my mind to remember that Laurence Fishburne - Morpheus himself - played a a fucking cowboy of all things on that show.
I always felt that was a bullshit charge against him.
(The indecent exposure, not the child porn stuff. I don’t know much about that.)
He’s also billed as Larry Fishburn in Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors
Wiki says he was credited under another name.
given that Warner Brothers made Pee-wee's big adventure, and Pee-Wee's playhouse was on CBS... probably didn't want to get in trouble working with Disney as well.
Does show how hot a commodity he was in 85/86 though.
