Goddamn. Excuse me why I run off to the bathroom to cry like a bitch. 5'd and Fav'd.

Thank you. I needed that...

The world would be a much better place if there were more people like Mr. Rogers. I swear, if more kids today would just listen to this man for a second, they would be a better individual. He just has that kind of magic about him.

+2

Mr. Rogers was good people. He talked to children about things that are important to children, and what mattered to them, and the things that frightened them but couldn't talk to their parents about. He was very religious, but he didn't slap it in your face like so many other people do in today's day and age. He was content with just letting you, be you, no matter be it atheist, agnostic, or religious.

+2

Mr. Rogers is the best f*cking person in the universe. He's like the modern f*cking Jesus lol

Dude, lashiens, you're totally right. He really is what everyone should want to be like. His beliefs were a personal thing for him, and he didn't use his faith to hate any groups or people or any sh*t like that. He accepted other people's beliefs and opinions while expressing his own in a respectful way. There are so many Atheists who say if everyone was Atheist we wouldn't have so much conflict in the world, and that's not what we should try to be. What Mr. Rogers was is what we should try to become.

huh?

:D

what was the point of that?

that comment has more votes than my sites

i know what you are going for and i appreciate it, but this http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2883185966575573317&q=mr.+rogers is the ultimate mr. rogers triumphant, and be sure to watch till the end

That video made me want to sell all of my posessions and send the money to PBS. And you know what? They can even keep the free totebag.

I think you just got your $20m.

Damn.

F*ck, man...f*ck.

I couldn't help but think something was going to pop out, either in the audio or visual.

Amazing, one of the greatest people to ever live. RIP Mr. Rogers.

There should be more positive ytmnd's like this

Great human being

2 modern day saints that dont get enough credit: Fred Rogers and Dave Thomas

SENTIMENTMND!

Why was this man not nominated for sainthood?

+2

I have NO clue.

He was protestant. Presbyterian I believe. Out of all the people on TV I miss him the most; Jim Henson is a close second.

+1

I was thinking that too. Even though I wasn't really touched by Mr. Rogers as a kid. In fact I couldn't stand him and the land of make believe creeped me out.

+1

I was however touched by Micheal Jackson as a kid.

good good man

What a great guy.

Mr. Rogers is a saint.

That just made my day, there is no way you could hold anger in your heart while listening to that.

More Rogers, worth a viewing: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=rogers+archive

5'd for a truly wonderful man. We all might make fun of him, but you know as a kid he made you feel safe and special in this world.

+1

I think most of the young people today who are obnoxious little jackasses, are those kids who didn't watch Mr. Rodgers.

+6

I agree.

+1

Was just waiting for him to shout out "Unto the power of JEEEZUSSS!"

Just looked this guy up on wiki. Apparently a very nice man.

Ah so what was the punch line? I fell asleep before this was over.

-15 [show comment][hide comment]

The punchline was that you should be a better person. Obviously, you didn't get it.

+4

The punchline is if you think any less of yourself after listening to Mr. Rogers then you've probably got bigger problems than just not helping out your neighborhood kids. Like, say, for instance, a complete lack of perspective on your own life.

Way too nice.

RIP Mr. Rogers

YTMND is a place for the funny.

Mr. Rogers is the man now dog...

Thank you, that was awesome. But ... wtf is that on his chin? :(

Mr. Rogers was a great man. That's why I don't like it when people make fun of him.

+1

I usually don't care for these kind of YTMNDs but Mr. Rogers was the damn second coming. At first I felt bad because I'll never get to meet him, but then he aptly reminded us we'll always be friends.

I Killed Mr Rogers

The land of make believe was a made up place. But the message is real.

It's such a good feeling...

I have always hated the sound of that man's voice.

He speaks sooo slowly

touching...

well he's no Mr. Dress up but touching very touching

god bless him for helping kids instead of molesting them.

*sighs* To be fair, I used to watch him when I was little, and I understand the message, but honestly, YTMND is for humor. But, I simply won't vote at all.

My hat's off.

F*ck you.

I kept expecting some random edit/outburst. Your lack of interruption has earned you a five as well as hardened my nipples good sir.

+1

Mr Rogers was a genually nice guy and thats more than you can say for anyone who is on Television now

I think I'm going to cry now. T_T

Esquire Magazine once ran a story on him that I thought captured his unexplainable appeal perfectly. It seems that Mr Rogers wanted to meet Koko, the gorilla who was taught to communicate using Sign Language. ---Koko had often watched Mister Rogers on television. When they first encountered each other, the 280-pound gorilla instantly enfolded Fred Rogers, all 143 pounds of him, in a massive embrace. And then .... Koko sat him down & took off his shoes.

+2

Wow. That is really a fantastic story. I think I'll look that up.

I can't find the entire article, but here is the excerpt about Koko.... http://readingunderthecovers.blogspot.com/2006/06/genuine-article.html#links

The first time I met Mister Rogers, he told me a story of how deeply his simple gestures had been felt, and received. He had just come back from visiting Koko, the gorilla who ...has been taught American Sign Language. Koko watches television. Koko watches Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and when Mister Rogers, in his sweater and sneakers, entered the place where she lives, Koko immediately folded him in her long, black arms, as though he were a child, and then … "She took my shoes off, Tom,"Mister Rogers said.

+2

This puts everything into perspective =(

Mr. Rogers rules, but this really didn't need to be on ytmnd. no vote.

I am faving this not just because Mr. Rogers is one of the coolest guys ever but because this site couldn't have come at a better time.

One of the few individuals on TV who was genuine.

Goddammit, it's homo sh*t like this that makes me hate YTMND all over again.

Just listen. No, REALLY listen. You will understand.

:/

Damn. I think I'm going to cry. :(

My little heart has melted.

uplifting-ytmnd? is there such a thing??? lol. well, i think if you don't love mr. rogers you're just an *ssh*le. that man raised me, and probably millions of other children as well.

+1

Ah I feel guiltripped...whatever, a five.

+1

the image should be centered

I think this was his victory speech after the Ultimate Showdown.

He can even get YTMNDers to drop their cynicism for a second. He's not trying to pry into your emotions, he just is a kind guy.

+1

Cynical Intellectualism or Heartfelt Emotion? WHO WILL WIN THE BATTLE FOR CINNAMONROFFLE'S SOUL?!

lol, self reply.

I sat through that whole damned thing and there was no punch line

F*CK YOU YTMND IS DYING.

couldn't get laid again?

I always wanted to be his neighbor...hell, I always wanted his house, with that awesome traffic light and his fishtank. But he can keep the castle in the backyard with the creepy puppets. But Mr. Rogers was part of my childhood too =( RIP. *feeds fish*

omfg im sorry i hate old people when they wont shut the hell up

Man he was awesome.

RIP ,Mr. Rogers. We love you.
