Episode Plot[]
When Cowboy Curtis, Miss Yvonne, and Cowntess can't come over because they have to work (much to Pee-wee's despair), everyone at the playhouse make up their own holiday and call it "Playhouse Day," which is all holidays in one. The King of Cartoons decides to make it a real holiday. Pee-wee's friends get the rest of the day off work to celebrate.

Trivia[]
- Cowboy Curtis, Miss Yvonne, and The King of Cartoons visit in this episode.
- Penny is shown in this episode.
- The secret word was heard and screamed six times.
- Pee-wee didn't care whether or not his friends were working or not, and acted like a whiny baby when they told him that they were.
- The episode's secret word is featured in one of Sonic the Hedgehog's nicknames from the DIC cartoons of the 1990s and the modern era - "the fastest thing alive"
- We find out in this episode that Conky's favorite holiday is Valentine's Day (February 14) and, judging by his reaction, he is quite the romantic despite being a robot.
- When Pee-wee makes a jack-o-lantern out of a watermelon, he hums "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen. Later in the episode, a marching band version of the same song performed by the Rice University Marching Owl Band is heard.
- Some of the footage of the parade sequence is actually from the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena.
- During the parade sequence, Pee-wee briefly does the Tequila dance from Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
