PeeWee's Super-Queer Playhouse 1988 Xmas Special

[Diddy]

HEAR ME OUT

I didn't grow up with Pee-Wee Herman, but recently it came to my attention that he's a subversive queer icon or something. Anyway, I watched this Christmas special from 1988 earlier this year after watching a YouTube video, and it was all I could do not to come here and scream about it.

It's 45 minutes long, and full of LGBT+ artists and allies, including at least one Moopy Smilie.

I don't want to reveal who is in it, it'll be a nice surprise I think! (It might all be given away by the title sequence, or it might be the end credits, I'm not sure).

Early Sunday afternoon, it's a nice hangover watch I think. SO JOIN ME PLEASE

EDIT:

I don't understand who or what this is.

 

[Diddy]

I don't understand who or what this is.

It's a Christmas Special of a Children's TV show from the 80s. But Pee-wee made the queerest one he could

 

[COB]

I want to do this! I've seen precisely ONE performance from it and it is extremely iconic, so hopefully the rest lives up to that

 

[Diddy]

Lovely!
I would tag a bunch of people but I have no idea what their names are now
@Christmas Tisches @WeihnachZenGiraffe @IguanMoreSleep @BlitzenTart @Beverley ARE YA IN?

I'm in, but only if you answer outstanding questions in the ASFM Admin thread.

 

[Tisch]

I thought this was today! Yes I'm in

 

[Diddy]

I thought this was today! Yes I'm in

sorry! In typical style I left it a bit too late to drum up any interest

 

[Diddy]

So this is today, who’s up for it?

 

[COB]

ME PLEASE

 

[COB]

I think @WeihnachZenGiraffe will also be joining, but he's gone home so I can no longer keep track of his movements

 

[Diddy]

How about the gruesome twosome @IguanMoreSleep and @Christmas Tisches ?

 

[Tisch]

Ooh yes!

 

[Diddy]

The name really doesn’t do it any favours

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm here and not yet regretting my life choices. Give it 5 mins.

 

[Diddy]

I like his SPHINX

 

[COB]

I do love a bit of stop-motion animation.

 

[COB]

OMG!

 

[Diddy]

Are they his PIPS?

 

[Diddy]

[COB]

I wish I'd seen this as a child!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What the fuck.

Can someone tell me who Pee Wee Herman, and more importantly, WHY Pee Wee Herman

 

[COB]

This is a LOT of guests for 45 minutes.
