Yes, someone in the 80s had the bright idea to have Paul Reubens do his Pee Wee character in a deadly serious ad about crack.

This is amazing!

If that wasn't actually posted 12 years ago, I would swear to my dying breath it was an AI meme

I have a very vague memory of watching it as a kid, but as a kid, you don't understand that Pee Wee isn't a real person, so it would make sense that Pee Wee would tell people not to do drugs. But looking back on it, it's weird as hell.

Definitely one of the weirdest PSAs
