Adult Swim: Why hast thou forsaken me?

Pee Wee Herman was never meant for kids. Paul Rubens started standup under the persona of Pee Wee, but his material was very adult. Somewhere along the line, some network exec thought that the Pee Wee character would be great for a kids' television show. Thus, Pee-Wee's Playhouse was born.

To dream up not only the character of Pee Wee, but each of the acid-trip reminiscent elements of that show took a lot a non-linear thought. I don't think it's any mystery why Mr. Rubens was caught pulling little PeeWee in a porno theater. There some wiring that has to be crossed when you're living as Pee Wee 24/7. There's a yin and a yang.

To quote Hank Hill and Rick James, "That boy ain't right." and "Cocaine is a hell of drug!"
