Mister Rogers asks a kid how to play Donkey Kong. Later in the clip, Keith David shows up and demonstrates how the buttons in an arcade machine work. [Via .]

Awesome! Don't be fooled, though - Fred Rogers secretly tears it up on Donkey Kong, especially the Pie Factory level.

If Fred Rogers were still alive, Billy Mitchell would be cowering in fear.

I know I'm going to hell for this, but if you listen to this clip sans video, you get a very different take on what's really happening. >Could we watch? Sure, stand over there and you can see it better. >You put that inside there. >We're interested about the insides of things. >That's what makes it move, left to right, or up and down. >Oh, Brandon, your Dad is over there...I think we better go.

That was a totally great little video clip, thank you. I love that the kid is already a hardcore gamer. He's still playing Chutes and Ladders, but on Donkey Kong he knows that "down" isn't terribly useful (at least, on that first level).

If Fred Rogers were still alive, Billy Mitchell would be cowering in fear. Billy Mitchell sucks the non-douchebag joystick of Steve Wiebe.

In case anyone is thinking about going in the direction of fijiwriter's comment, just remember this.

Billy Mitchell sucks the non-douchebag joystick of Steve Wiebe. Preach on, brother. Amen.

I know I'm going to hell for this, but if you listen to this clip sans video, you get a very different take on what's really happening. Especially if you're Mr. Furley.

Wow, this clip really takes me back. How cool that the kid is the expert, and Mr. Rogers defers to him.

Mr. Rogers Goes to Washington to defend public television funding. A classic moment in front of a Senate committee.

Thank you for that link, alongdecember. Rogers had a strength of character, and a belief in himself and what he did, that is absolutely moving.

I'd seen this before, but I clicked anyway, and I saw that someone had uploaded an interview by Gary Collins from 1986. It's amazing how someone so soft-spoken can have such a commanding presence.

Two of the coolest guys on the planet in one video! I'm having a hard time picturing David going from the set of The Thing to the set of Mr. Rogers...

Fred Rogers interview, you say? Four hours worth, coming right up.
