{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of early TV kids shows, but especially ''The Soupy Sales Show'' and ''The Pinky Lee Show''.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Many of the characters, including Jambi the Genie, Captain Carl, Cowboy Curtis, Chairy the Chair, Globey the Globe, and Pterri the Pterodactyl.
* [[Beatnik]]: The Puppet Band are a [[Funny Animal]] [[Affectionate Parody]] of beatniks.
* [[Benevolent Genie]]: Jambi, who could grant Pee-wee (or whoever Pee-wee gave the wish to) one wish per day.
Line 26:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Penny rambled a lot, didn't she?
* [[Cool Bike|Cool Scooter]]: Which received...
* [[Edutainment Show]]: Though not in the way one would normally expect. Paul Reubens used his character to teach social skills -- Pee-wee is sometimes an example of what ''not'' to do, but therein lies the humor.
** In its last two seasons, the show also featured Spanish lessons via the ''El Hombre'' animated shorts, thus doubling as a [[Bilingual Bonus]].
* [[Excited Kids' Show Host]]: Pee-wee, obviously.
Line 32:
{{quote|'''Pee-wee:''' STOP ALL THAT SCREAMING! CAN'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY CONSIDERATION?!!}}
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlq6lVLGu5E This scene,] for one.
** In the Christmas Special, Magic Johnson states that he and Magic Screen are cousins. For example, "Magic Screen" is the device's actual name -- "Magic" is the given name, and "Screen" is the surname. [[Gag Penis|One wonders what that implies for Magic Johnson...]]
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: In the episode where Jambi gets sick, Pee-wee consults an expert in "genie-ology" (read: genealogy, or the study of family trees). The Cowntess, too, got quite a few "cow" and "moo"-based puns (example: when attending a pool party, she wore a "moo-moo").
* [[Jerkass]]: Randy, with his classic schoolyard bully persona. His appearances are usually met with a scowl from Pee-wee.
