YMMV / The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway

Go To

  • Cargo Ship:
    • Pee Wee and Chairry. The firefighter and Magic Screen.
    • Magic Screens...ahem..."moment" with Conkey while the lights are off.
      Magic Screen: Ooh...wow...here's the flashlight.
      Conkey: M-m-magic Screen, th-thats not the flashlight! Th-th-that's not the flashlight!
      Magic Screen: Well, that's not my belly button either.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight: The aforementioned gay marriage joke, after it became legal all over the United States. Even more so when in the commentary on the DVD, Paul Reubens said that he hoped that the joke would become obsolete when all states allowed gays to marry.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Averted. There was concern that the "Ghost of Shamwow" might scare the kids in the audience, but it turned out that they loved that part the most.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: All the pop culture references date this show to the 2010s.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Like the original stage show (and, to a lesser extent, the TV show that aired on CBS), this show was a children's show with a lot of risque humor and Parental Bonus moments.
