So far, at least three. Paul Reubens (yes, Pee-wee) is joining Neil Patrick Harris and Alan Cumming in the 3D-live action-animated-CGI-invisible Smurfs flick. Reubens will lend his voice to Jokey Smurf, the one who’s always happy and playing tricks on the other blue people.
Wikipedia reminds us “Jokey Smurf almost always uses the same joke trick: yellow- and red-wrapped present boxes that he offers to his victims, saying it is a gift, or a surprise. The present box explodes when the receiver opens it, puffing out a lot of fire that blackens the bearer’s face (or entire body depending on the explosion’s size). Jokey briefly abandoned the exploding-present schtick and embarked on a secret career as the Masked Pie Smurfer, a cloaked figure known for sneaking up on other Smurfs and throwing cakes at them. Whenever the subject of his exploding gift joke reacts with violence or by just being grumpy Jokey usually responds that that person doesn’t have a sense of humor.”
It’s as if the part was written for Pee-wee, ey?

@ECOFSTPL: Really?
TONYD
He’s not gay- he’s been caught whacking off at heterosexual xxx adult movie theaters. Paul Reubens has been a supporter of anyone that deviates from the norm, so it makes him a peculiar ally that can’t keep his hands off himself. 😉

@TONYD:
I believe it was a gay porn theater, TONYD.
They talk about it in this documentary:

@Marcus: Bad proof, I looked on Wiki and news sites (not much better, I know) and the theater shows heterosexual and homosexual adult films. Here’s his mug shot, but no mention of the film he was watching. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/reubensmug1.html
