I’m laughing cuz it’s true it’s like you start thinking “fuck I’m on deck” and then you feel bad 🫠

R.I.P.

My brother and I used to go at each other's throats when we were younger, but there were truces declared when we watched stuff like the Pee-Wee Herman movies together. We'd do the dance too. Also got to shoutout one of the best death scenes I've re-enacted countless times with friends:

 

[The_annoying_one]

Celebrity deaths usually don’t bother me too much. But this….this one kinda hurts.

He's masturbating in heaven's porno theaters now. 

[1pooh4u]

I saw him on B’way with my Mom I’m coincidentally wearing the T/shirt I got my mom that night. After the show he came out and started talking to us and signing playbills. He was a really nice guy. I had video of it but it’s since been lost. He was out there at least a half hour maybe more.

Right in the feels 

[Icarus27k]

Okay, that hurts.

Me too sometimes I get a little pain and I start thinking “whelp, this is it”. When everyone is dying around you it gets to fuck with your psyche a little bit.  I try to laugh it off by thinking of Redd Foxx playing Fred Sanford cuz there’s just so many times I can confuse gas with a heart attack before I start asking myself questions about my mental health. 🫠

[Insipid]

I didn't realize he was that old though. RIP.

Lol, I don't really drink soda often, but Sprite really helps with this gastro shit when I can't medicate, so I got one....not sure what I did but I drank it wrong. The gas buildup or acid or something had my chest in a head lock and I was like "years of drugs and I'm taken out by an uncaffeinated drink" 😣

I’d do a Nelson Muntz Ha!Ha! Respectfully as I clench my chest right along side you 😆

[discolé monade]

fuck, we're a pair. 

*somehow...i do think mr. reubens would appreciate this approach to his passing.

I agree. Idt he would want us too sad. 
 

do you think on some far corner of the Internet a group of people are screeching over his Jambi character.  Personally I loved Jambi with the “mekalecka high mecka hiney ho”

 I was crushed when Jambi died years back as well as the og ms Yvonne 

[rpgamer]

My most recent memory of him is being included in this mashup.

I chose to go into the field of political science, where everyone is like a senior citizen anyway so I always feel young even though it's been 20 years since I graduated. 

[Icarus27k]

Although.... during the Covid shutdown, I binge watched "BoJack Horseman" and that freaked me out about mortality for a few weeks.

Man, I saw this on the news right before logging on. I knew he was old but I didn't know he was sick. He was one of those people that just didn't really seem to age much past a certain point. 

RIP to the guy that played Cobblepot's dad TWICE.

"Attica Attica!".  

RIP

Bojack Horseman is the greatest show Netflix had and they ended it too soon 

[ghostrek]

Wow I didn't know he's that old

 

 

[ghostrek]

A great entertainer the same tease gone to soon

Yeah it's sad.  I still miss Bob Saget, Betty White, and Gilbert Gottfried.

Also most of the original Night Court cast.

I have no idea who Bob Newhart is, but I knew Carol Burnett was still alive. I just checked and she is 90, which is about 15 years older than I thought.

Sorry, I wasn't alive in the seventies, lol

His second show "Newhart" aired '82-'90.

[Insipid]

I still wasn't alive then. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I ended up seeing him in Ventura.  My friend got tickets to see the pre-opening of his Pee Wee's Big Adventure 35th Anniversary tour in February of 2020, so.we drove up the coast to see him.  The Q and A at the end of the show was hilarious.  There was no way of knowing he was fighting cancer at the time.

Every story people are recalling about him is just so damn wholesome.  He kept in contact w Natasha Lyonne (she was opal on PWPH) Dana Gould recalled the time he took his nieces to see him on b’way in 2010. He took them back stage after. Reubens asked for the chairy puppeteer to stay. The kids sat on chairy and got a big old hug. Kids loved it. It’s tons of stories like that.
