His Kodak Carousel pitch is probably my favorite, but I love this scene for its peek into the process.

I only just started watching Mad Men, but I get the sneaking suspicion that Sal might be gay.

Back when employees actually had respect for their employer. Now you would get sued if you made the deadline tomorrow instead of friday

“It’s about adventure” made me cringe laugh

he was so full of shit here but at his peak he was delisuional enough to believe he actually did something here, because he did.

I'm guessing this scene is one of many used in classrooms all over the US

Whatever happened to poor ol dale?

I feel like this doesn’t get talked about enough, but when you know that Don grew up in a whorehouse it makes so much sense he would be such a great ad man. So many parallels! He’s right, it’s not the sex that would sell for the workers either, but their customers feeling something. Intimacy, comfort, power, engaging in the forbidden, etc.

What uninspired ideation.

Don seems like a pain in the arse to work with. The whole ‘tortured genius alpha male’ is so cliche

But sex, does sell...

5:18 They can't do what we do, and they hate us for it. When Madmen is talking about ads and gives us a glimpse into the way people think.

Exactly. Marketing and branding is all about FEELINGS. That first guy was just trying to come up with a smart idea. You have to start with FEELING first THEN create the branding/marketing/advertising from that place. The feeling becomes the anchor, the heart, the fertile soil by which every good branding idea is made. Put yourself in your audience's shoes, know what they want to feel, know how your busy can make them feel that, and then DO it. Communicate that through your marketing, ad, branding.

Don’s mind is just drifting into irrelevance here. “Blah, blah blah.” He’s in his own world, bored that everyone around him can’t keep up.

Fly with Xenu.

it's really pathetic to watch this show for business advice lmao

5:30 damn!!! we can almost taste the sexual tension! This was such an amazing series!!!

after binge-watching this series, and now looking back at the scenes, I can't help but seeing Don as a fraud, as someone who he's not supposed to be, and how easy it would be for anyone to be a bad-ass in the same situation.

To think that entire industry was decimated by the onset of internet influencers.

Daddy

Cracks me up that people smoked so much, knowing it was bad for them even then. A different time.

"Ideating" might be one of the most stupid words of recent years. Maybe ever. Was "thinking" controversial or offensive in some way?

I love how every time he lights his cigarette he blocks the wind with his hand as if they’re not indoors.

I'm not an advertising person, but I'd like to hear from real advertising people... is what Don says in this show actually good / insightful advise, or is it just good writing to move the story along? to a lay person it *sounds* really convincing, but is it?

Well in retrospect of the personal problems both women endured I wouldn't envy either of them not Jackie with he stillborn and miscarried children or her husband's affair with Marilyn he's probably the only man that did have them both and of course poor Norma Jean abused and exploited all her life only a miscarriage no children at all three sad marriages. How desires and expectations change. Of course on Mad Men Peggy just had a whole full term pregnancy without even noticing no period no morning sickness etc? Then just gives the child away like nothing and back to work.

Cut the smoking!

"Stop writing for other writers" one of the best lines that screenwriters need to hear

Paul Kinsey looks like Landmark in the 60s, before actualizing his Tarkov streamer career

Interesting dialogue. "Ideating" is a non-word used by people who think sex sells.

I don’t get why don says at the end it’s not about sex when during the first pitch he said that the ads should have sexual appeal because that would catch the men who make the money for the family eyes.

Moronic show

It was obnoxious…and genius for it. Almost everything pale faces in comparison…or so say the Mohawk.

wtf is "ideating"?

People like this writing?

There has to be advertising for people that don't have a sense of humour. Especially about something like flying.

5:38 So, Peggy invented the gold digger copy

"You want to get on an airline to feel alive." Sigh...oh how optimistic we were about flying.

Mad Men gets better with age.

Such an underrated line: "I think the little ones need to eat." Rummsfeld is a classic drunk. They really don't like eating, they prefer to drink on an empty stomach. Fucks up their high.

watching the Mad Men for like the sixth time, I realized the ads they created are completely and utterly superior to 99.9% of ads out there, Don saying how advertising is about creating an emotional bond between the buyer and the product, and I was think that I'm pretty sure most of these people in the ad business in the real world probably don't even know or understand that, because when you see their silly ads, the facade is so see-through, there's barely emotions, and even if its there it's not that related to the product, there is no bond(not talking about james bond)

Imagine Elisabeth Moss asking you, "What did you bring me, Daddy?".

This exactly parallels Don’s trip to Baltimore w Sal. He sleeps with a stewardess and accidentally brings home a pendent to his daughter.
