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.]]

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.

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.
