Say what you want about Pee-Wee Herman, the guy is a friggin' icon. So what if he got caught jerkin' his gerkin' in public? It was at a porno theater, right? Not that I would know from experience or anything but I just kinda assumed everybody did that. Before I dig myself any deeper, let me just get to the point, and that is that Pee Wee will be voicing Jokey Smurf in the upcoming Smurfs movie. If you'll recall Jokey was the prankster who always gave away exploding gift boxes to his gullible fellow Smurfs. No word on if Pee Wee will be implementing a "word of the day" into the film's script.
Director Raja Gusnell has corralled an impressive list of talent for the combination live-action/computer animated feature: Katy Perry as Smurfette, Alan Cumming(who I always thought reminded me of Pee Wee) as Gutsy Smurf, George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, and Anton Yelchin as Clumsy. That's in addition to Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, and Hank Azaria as the humans who become mixed up in the Smurfs' world.
The Smurfs is due to smurf theaters on August 3, 2011.
