Most of these "puns" don't seem like they're intentional to me. However, if 
they work to help you remember the words correctly, that's fine with me.

According to www.imdb.com, the Teletubbies started around 1997, more than 
10 years after {po} was listed as "morning" in the original TKD. So it's 
very unlikely that this "pun" was intentional.

This one has been noted before, and it probably is an intentional pun. Take 
a look at the puns listed at www.kli.org/wiki if you haven't already, it's 
a good read.
