History YMMV / PeeWeesBigAdventure

** Large Marge's face turning into a ghoulish image. [[spoiler:This is because as she had died in a car crash and it was her ghost who picked up Pee-Wee.]]

* NightmareRetardant: Peewee's face in the above Large Marge moment looks almost like he's trying not to laugh.

** Out of Pee-Wee's nightmares, there's the one in which he sees his beloved bike getting devoured by a gigantic-sized, red [[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurus Rex]] with GlowingEyesOfDoom. It's also simultaneously saddening to see Pee-Wee's trademark vehicle getting mercilessly destroyed.

** The lone BikerBabe in the Satan's Helpers club is [[Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark Elvira]].

** The lone BikerBabe in the Hell Satan's club is [[Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark Elvira]].

** The Warner Bros. lot chase.

** The lone BikerBabe in the Hell Satan's club is Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark.

** The lone BikerBabe in the Hell Satan's club is Elvira.

-->"On this very night.. ten years ago.. along this same stretch of road.. in a dense fog just like this.. I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound.. like a garbage truck.. dropped off the Empire State Building... And when they finally pulled the driver's body.. from the twisted.. burning.. wreck, it looked like.. ''[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LargeMarge.jpg this!]]''"
*** Also, notice how whenever Marge is on camera, she never blinks while telling her story. This adds to her creepiness.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Is Mickey actually on the run for [[DisproportionateRetribution ripping off a mattress tag]], or is he simply lying to protect Pee-wee's innocence? This being the kind of movie it is, it could go either way.

* HarsherInHindsight: The ending has a scene involving [[spoiler: Pee-wee getting arrested. Then in 1991 a scandal broke out when his creator and actor Paul Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure in an adult movie theater.]]

* {{Expy}}: Andy, Simone's brutish boyfriend, is pretty much [[Franchise/{{Popeye}} Bluto]].

** Also, when Pee-Wee enters the Warner Bros. studio lot for the first time, the Batmobile from ''Series/Batman1966'' is seen overhead. Creator/TimBurton would later go on to direct ''Film/Batman1989'' and ''Film/BatmanReturns'', as well as co-produce ''Film/BatmanForever''. Creator/PaulReubens and Diane Salinger also had a cameo in the opening scene of ''Film/BatmanReturns'' as the Penguin's parents. Music/DannyElfman also did the music for those films.

** The demonic surgeon clowns in Hell nightmare scene takes the cake as one of Tim Burton’s most child-traumatizing scenes of all time.

* HoYay: Mickey eyes Pee Wee admiringly while he's DisguisedInDrag and later gives him the same "I'm a loner..." speech that Pee Wee gives to [[LoveInterest Dottie]] earlier in the movie when they part ways.

** Pee-Wee driving by the set that's making a ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' film is even more amusing now that Warner Bros has [[Film/{{Godzilla 2014}} released a Godzilla film]].

** Danny Elfman did the music for the 90's Batman films.

* LikeRealityUnlessNoted: The world seems to mildly run on CartoonPhysics. Big-budget Hollywood studios film their movies in the same manner as very-early Silent Films. Car convertible canopies can act as parachutes for said cars. Chimps are sold as pets in pet stores. Tiny bike horns car emit massively-loud truck horn sounds. Ghosts in ghost vehicles can transport living flesh-and-blood people. Attempting to break an acquaintance out of prison will just get you a disapproving look from a prison guard. Said prison will happily take a presumably-dangerous convict to see a movie based on an acquaintances' life. A major Hollywood studio would be willing to forgive you for trashing the entire studio in exchange for creating a movie about your adventure (which will be retconned as a cheesy spy flick).

** The Breakfast Machine, complete with the big-band circus-like music by Danny Elfman.
