Pee Wee’s Playhouse has been running for the last few weeks on AdultSwim — which has been awesome! AdultSwim is Cartoon Network’s post 10PM block of programming that plays cartoons made for adults. It’s all the same crappy animation you remember from your Hanna Barbara days (but with more swearing) and has already birthed such immortal characters as the pixelated ne’er do well Ignignokt and the grumpy bassist William Murderface.

On adultswim.com, they’re running an interesting series of interviews with Pee Wee’s Playhouse creator Paul Reubens. In the second clip, Pee Wee drops quite a bombshell.

According to Pee Wee, the set security guard for the Playhouse was always hounding him to read a breakout script he had written. Of course Pee Wee always had other things to do. Well a certain Cowboy Curtis (played by Lawrence Fishburne) did not have better things to do. The security guard was John Singleton. The script was Boyz in da Hood.

What I’m saying is the world came within one tick of the doomsday clock to having Boyz in da Hood produced by fucking Pee Wee Herman! That is awesome.

On another note, does anyone remember where they were when Paul Reubens got busted watching pornography? (Obviously he was masturbating. What do you do while you’re watching porn? Bake brownies?) Well I do. I was 10 at the time. I remember exactly what I thought.

Fuck. Now these idiots are going to cancel Pee Wee’s Playhouse forever.

And they sure did.  (or did they!)
