Ridiculous and gross, honestly. Trying so hard to have the edgiest take while millions of people mourn their childhoods and a person who helped them work through trauma and build self-confidence. Can’t have anything nice I guess.  

Yep. There are stories on other subsites (A.V. Club and Gizmodo have them, I think) but this is the only one on Jez. Sad, isn’t it?

That header pic is from his HBO comedy special The Pee Wee Herman Show, which was the forerunner for Pee Wee’s Playhouse. It’s streaming on Max.

salute to the positive vibes of Pee Wee! So many actors came through the show. Phil Hartman. S. Epatha Merkeson, Laurence Fishburne, Lynne Marie Stewart, Jimi Smits, Leslie Jordan, William Marshall.. 

Am I wrong or is this seriously the only way Jezebel is memorializing Paul Reubens? Please tell me I missed something.

The patron saint for us weird kids, back when it was not so cool to be quirky.

She was one hell of a artist. Defiant and strong and unabashedly human. She was lambasted for years after the SNL shit (I remember Joe Pesci threatening her the next show and getting applause for it) and she never caved. And the end, she was right all along and no one apologized for making her a pariah.

You weren’t a “troubled soul,” Sinead. Your soul RIGHTFULLY responded to the shit you were surrounded by and lived through. RIP.

This one really hurts. I knew Sinéad very very briefly during secondary school (she was a few years ahead of me).

Excuse me while I vomit. 

There are a lot of folks ashamed of their micropenis.

You’d think these men would realize their disproportionate reactions to a fictional character is mass broadcast advertising for every insecurity and bout of jealousy they’ve ever had.

He spent all his money on guns apparently

Just keep in mind that, at a significant correlation, the same people that loudly scream “Won’t somebody think of the children!” are the ones quietly thinking about the children a little too much...

I know this is way beside the point, but how can an architect live in such a shitty house?

Not the first, nor the last time some far-right troglodyte will get busted for this. There’s a reason why the MAGA crowd is so obsessed about “grooming” kids, because they have firsthand knowledge of doing it.

Of course they are pro-life, more kids to touch... truly gross and in a few years, he will ‘repent’ and be fine down there

Trans people and drag queens aren’t the problem, religious anti-abortion wackos are. 

If Cher doesn’t call her gelato “CHURN BACK TIME”, then we have failed as a civilization.

Also, if you’re seeing this Cher, you’re free to use that as long as you give me credit and 1% of the profits.
