I was confused at first for a while.
Then I read up a bit on him.
Seems an almost supernaturally okay sort of man. Went before the US Congress when they were going to cut his funding. They not only continued his funding but increased it.
Youtube clips indicate that he teaches moral lessons. This sounds fucking awful. But when you watch the clips it all seems fine and he is really supernaturally likable.
I think the joke is that he is, correct me if I'm wrong, the exact opposite of the Emperor in every way.
The Emperor has some bullshit about "oh yeah guies I totes guided humanity from the very start and taught people how to be real people you owe it all to meeeeeee!". Which in universe is probably bullshit given that the Emepror is a total shit head. Mr Rodgers is everything the Emperor claims to be, but sadly is mortal. The Emperor calls for the genocide of anything not One of Us. Mr Rodgers teaches how to be good neighbors.
Unless I'm wrong and am currently the victim of a diabolical ruse.
