5 | The 2016 Creator/{{Netflix}} movie starring Creator/PaulReubens' Pee-wee Herman character. Much like ''Film/BigTopPeeWee'', the movie [[NegativeContinuity deviates from directly continuing any plot from previous films or show.]] |
6 | |
7 | The movie begins in Fairville, with Pee-wee's band breaking up and his feeling that he's obligated to stay in his [[SmallTownBoredom hometown]], when a motorcycle riding Creator/JoeManganiello comes into the milkshake bar and immediately hits it off with Pee-wee. After some pushing from Joe, Pee-wee goes on holiday, and embarks in a cross-country adventure to go to Joe's birthday party, abandoning all responsibilities. |

9 | This ended up being the final Pee-wee Herman project prior to Reubens' passing from cancer in July of 2023. |

13 | !!This film provides Examples of: |
14 | |
15 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Pee-wee has always been somewhat flamboyant, but this movie is filled with nods to Pee-wee maybe being gay. One early exchange pokes fun at it: |
16 | -->'''Joe Mangianello:''' "What about ''Film/MagicMike''? Haven't you seen me in that?" |
17 | -->'''Pee-wee:''' "You'd think so, but no." |
18 | * AsHimself: Creator/JoeManganiello, with a generous dollop of AdamWesting. |
19 | * BrickJoke: Penny King's confusion toward Pee-wee eating garnish, is brought back when Pee-wee starts garnishing dishes in Fairville. The metal plate in Pee-wee's head is used to save him from the well, and salted or honey-roasted peanuts is brought back in the same scene, as the moral lesson. |
20 | * CallBack: Numerous to ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure'' and ''Film/BigTopPeeWee''. Penny King quotes Pee-wee's favorite line from ''Pee-wee's Big Adventure'', "Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer!", Simone's "Au-revior Pee-wee!", Mickey's "Arrivederci, Pee-wee", more. |
21 | * DeadpanSnarker: Pee-wee is really snarky about how insanely weird the world is this time around. |
22 | * DigitalDeaging: Creator/PaulReubens had a combination of digital and practical makeup effects applied to make himself appear no older than in the original movies, as he believed the character of Pee-wee shouldn't ever be thought of as getting old. |
23 | * DreamIntro: As tradition with Pee-wee movies, we start with an ''[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'' parody of all things. |
24 | %%* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "I'm gonna slip into something a little more comfortable". ''Fade to black''. |
25 | %%* EvilTwin: Evil Pee-wee in the well. |
26 | * FunnyAfro: The hairdressers have some insanely weird looking afros, then to be revealed that they unite into the United States. |
27 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: Everywhere in the movie, such as the arresting of the burglar trio immediately after Pee-wee says bye. |
28 | %%* GagHaircut: See FunnyAfro |
29 | * HarmfulToHitchhikers: Pee-wee hitches a ride in a flying car, only for it to crash mere minutes later. |
30 | * HurricaneOfPuns: The entirety of the movie is one big collection of puns. The scenes at the snake farm is just one rapid fire pun bonanza. [[spoiler: Baby rattlers are the most dangerous because their venom is the strongest. ''cue Pee-wee looking into a box of baby's rattlers'']] |
31 | %%* HelicopterHair: Quite literally with Pee-wee's RC helicopter hair. |
32 | %%* ImprobableHairstyle: All of the haircuts made by the hairdresser team. |
33 | * InevitableWaterfall: Pee-wee lands in a river after the parasol breaks and grabs onto a log. |
34 | * JumpScare: [[spoiler: Subverted with a parody of the jump-scare attraction at the snake farm, and then pulling a real one on Pee-wee.]] |
35 | %%* ManChild: Pee-wee and Joe Manganiello. |
36 | * MatchlightDangerRevelation: Pee-wee keeps seeing new things every time he lights a new match while trapped in the well. |
37 | * OverlyLongGag: Pee-wee showing the Amish what fun is, aka squeezing a balloon for a high-pitched whine, goes on for a fairly uncomfortable length of two minutes. Also seen when Pee-wee signs and initials the waiver multiple times before entering the snake farm. |
38 | * PaperThinDisguise: Pee-wee escapes the wedding as a cowboy. Nobody questions why a midget cowboy and a paper-mache horse come out of a one person bathroom that Pee-wee just walked into. |
39 | %%* ParasolParachute |
40 | * RubeGoldbergDevice: Another Pee-wee movie tradition, this time the Rube Goldberg extends beyond his home and into the town. How Pee-wee's devices reset, nobody will ever know. |
41 | %%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Pee-wee |
42 | %%* ShotgunWedding: Quite literally when Pee-wee tries to escape marrying Louise. |
43 | * TooDumbToLive: Pee-wee picks up a group of women who literally just robbed a bank in front of him, and assumed they were in trouble. |
44 | %%* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Pee-wee's reaction to the snake farm. |
