This is old (duh), but Mr. Rogers is a huge MEME right now. Back when breakdancing (or “breaking”) first came out, or possibly several years later, The Rog had a little boy on the show to teach him and his television neighbors how to breakdance.

He’s kind of good! And I think I just inadvertently learned something about the value of practicing. Also, it’s adorable that Mr. Rogers was so excited about the big piece of cardboard.

  5. Even though Sesame Street is getting Feist to perform “1234″ and doing parodies of “30 Rock,” it still can’t reach this level of awesome.
