* During the first season of the show, Mr. Rogers engages in a song with children that involves raising fingers on his hands...[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmpz4uOGjGU&t=1m33s and ends up giving the finger on air...twice!]] What makes it funny though, is that he clearly realizes how it looks, and even smirks at the camera. Quite possibly the only time ''ever'' where Mr. Rogers did something that could be interpreted as offensive, even if it was completely without malice or any intent to offend. [[HilariousInHindsight Even funnier in retrospect]] when you consider the fact that many years later, ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'', another PBS show, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6bFR5ihR4w#t=4m34s used the same song involving the same type of gesture!]]

* Much of Episode 1591 has numerous references to ''hoes''. While they're obviously talking about the gardening kind, and not [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar the other kind]], it's still pretty humorous to hear the word get used so many times. A portion of this episode was shown on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

--> '''Mister Rogers''': One dollar more, nothing! ''(Looks at his first poster of Jack and Jill with neither of them in it)'' Why I expected there to be a Jack and a Jill on here. Isn't that disappointing?... One dollar more; I'm not about to send one dollar more. I have other things to do with my dollars!

** Later in the documentary they show a clip of Rogers singing in one of his last episodes. He opens his closet as usual to retrieve his coat and finds a stagehand hiding inside, who tells him the house has been condemned and "You've got two days to get out".

* A minor one, but during the opening of episode #1293, Mr. Rogers misbuttons his sweater. He soon realizes this, laughs at himself, and asks "Did you ever do that?".

* In one episode, Fred visits this tuba player's apartment and offers to play the tuba himself. First, Fred took a deep breath into the mouthpiece and said "Nothing comes out." He was later instructed to blow thru buzzing lips. On his second try, Fred is able to make the tuba produce sound, but it emits a funny farting noise. What makes it funnier is that the camera closes up on Fred blowing into the tuba raising his eyebrows.

* Episode 1153 starts out with Mister Rogers receiving some nursery rhyme posters he had ordered...only to find out they don't come with characters, much to his dismay. What's more though, the letter enclosed notifies him that if he wants characters on the posters, he has to send [[MoneyDearBoy one more dollar.]] In one of the rare cases we see him get [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness upset on the show]], he ends up becoming a mild case of DeadpanSnarker which is really amusing considering this Mister Rogers we're talking about. Also, this was from the early 70's, when "one dollar more" would've been equivalent to about six or seven dollars more today.
