At 62 years of age, I can’t think of any series I’ve ever watched that tops MadMen. The best everything: writing, acting, emotion. So powerful. So human.
The wheel 😩 Arguably the greatest scene I've ever witnessed Only because the monologue, the set up, the emotion I've never been so moved by a presentation about a product
I bet you have you just don’t remember off hand. And you probably bought whatever it was selling, in which case, it fulfilled its purpose. We all have. That is a powerful scene but it is still a commercial at its core. That’s what they do and what makes the modern world go round
There really are pete campbell's at every company. I'm 53 and I didn't realize nepotism hires when I was young. I would wonder: "why do they keep that worthless person?" I worked at multiple companies, but didn't have awareness, because it's kept secret. The truth leaks out over time; as people's reputations proceed them. They're not all near as good as pete campbell, good show. Most of the modern petes, dropped out of college, so their family pulls strings to get them a job.
When I first started watching Madmen, I couldn't understand why Don would cheat on Betty. He seemed happily married to her. But after hearing MW explained that he just wanted to be loved for who he is it made sense. Betty loved the idea of him, she didn't even know him. How could she love him when he never let her in?
Don perfectly summed up their relationship and how he felt about himself when he told Betty about his life as Dick Whitman and said “I’m surprised you ever loved me at all”
I didn’t realize all this came from Season 1. I really loved the flashbacks. They gave clues about Draper’s yearning and emptiness. It’s my favorite season.
I found the replies odd since OP in no way implied the show was promoting any of the things he listed. Yet you two assumed he didn't understand the film.
It's a nice quote but i hope people understand that in the next line Rachael basically read him like a book and told him that he spends his life looking in from the outside hoping he could experience this genuine love that he supposedly disdains.
These seem more like the 'best scenes' than the 'best quotes' Anyway, I think there should be more of Pete's foot-in-mouth quotes. I found this exchange from the pilot pretty great Don Draper: Mencken’s is not Chanel. Rachel Mencken: That’s a vote of confidence. Pete Campbell: What Don’s saying is Chanel is a very different kind of place. It’s French, it’s continental, it’s… Rachel Mencken: Not just another Jewish department store? Pete Campbell: Exactly. He was hopeless in the first season.
They cut off the whole line; it ends up characteristically assaulting humanity instead of Jews OR anti semites.Which I think is accurate, - no one is innocent.
Funny how historically accurate Mad Men is, however Penny's typewriter is an IBM Selectric II which wasn't introduced until 1971. The season takes place in 1960. More than likely that ad agency should of been using a 1960 IBM Model C Executive.
Draper: The sentiment. The "idea", it's so basic. You feel like you already know it; You just haven't thought of it lately....... Me: That is some DEEP shit sir. +1 Draper
+uafc1 Don Drapers/DickWhitmans aging? Jesus, 10 years (33-43 especially) or 1960 to 1970 combined with being a booze hound will do that to a man. In addition to which, the pilot (episode one) was filmed a year before the rest of season 1 (meaning 10 years before season 7). OMG. The elephants are kindly but their dumb.
I don't like the wet look but I'd bet the house that at 45 he still looks a billion times better than you. Bet you have a 'beer belly" the size of a mack truck tire. Does your gun make you feel more "manly?" UR N ODD DUCK DUDE.
Its not for everyone. It's a lot of smart and classy humor that you really have to think about to enjoy. You either hate it or love this show, no middle ground.
He was going to go with his family on that trip only to go home and discover that they had left without him, which made him berry sad. It's linked to that 'Carousel' pitch earlier in the episode. (the season 1 finale, 'The Wheel', which I would recommend re-watching, because it's brilliant)
if I ever do try to quit smoking (fingers crossed) I won't be able to watch this show or clips for years lol I have to smoke when I watch its so satisfying lol
I like the very ending as I could relate to it. The hardest part of divorce has been not walking in at the end of the day and hearing my son run up to me and say, "daddy!"
Xx, she tried. Remember that early dinner with Roger and Mona, they were all discussing their childhoods and Don didn't participate.. That night in bed, Betty mentioned something about the dinner and the discussion and Don really didn't have much to say. After he went to sleep she whispered in his ear "Who is in there". She wanted to know more about her husband, but he couldn't bear to tell her. Like he told Anna, "I knew as soon as I told her she'd look at me differently, and I was right"
The irony that's made in putting two of these scenes next to each other is fucking hilarious hahaha Don: "People like Jim Hobart only talk business because they never have anything else to say" Don: "I don't know what to say" Jim: "Then don't say anything"
I've got to say the writing is by far what Mad Men does the best. Not only the dialogue, but also with never wasting a word or a second of the 48 minutes an episode spans.
I remember that. But I think it was the fact that he lied that made her divorce him. Can't blame her. Plus she was already in love with Henry...I miss Don and Betty together though. Even though they only loved the idea of each other, it was a very interesting marriage. These two hot messes belong with each other.
The greatest quote in the show is true, your born alone and u die alone and the world drops a bunch of rules on u to make you forget except i dont forget.
I always thought Jon Hamm would totally played as Bruce Wayne aka Batman. Honestly guys whenever I see Maggie Siff in Mad Men I crack a smile even in Sons Of Anarchy I still crack a smile.
Aw, you forgot one of the best ones:
"How do you sleep at night?"
"On a bed of money"
also when sal says 'have you been to the diamon district?'
absolute killer
made of money
Surrounded by beautiful women
At 62 years of age, I can’t think of any series I’ve ever watched that tops MadMen. The best everything: writing, acting, emotion. So powerful. So human.
The wheel 😩
Arguably the greatest scene I've ever witnessed
Only because the monologue, the set up, the emotion
I've never been so moved by a presentation about a product
I agree
That scene was the peak
It's called a carousel 🎠

Missed a great one:
"There's a Pete Campbell at every agency."
"Then let's get one of the other ones"

Nope. 1

Mad Men is so good, that in the future people will think this show was made in the 60's.
Only except this show came out in 2007.
Thats kinda the point.
Makes me wonder how this show would have been perceived had it actually been made and aired in the 60s

I mean him lying to his eigen about who is was and is is his fault lol
Without a single doubt one of the best television shows of all time.
I didn’t realize all this came from Season 1. I really loved the flashbacks. They gave clues about Draper’s yearning and emptiness. It’s my favorite season.
"Have we ever hired a Jew?" - Roger
"Not on my watch.." - Draper lmao
The scene where Don comes home to the loving family, then doesn't, gets me every time. So sad. So lonely.
Roger is absolutely hilarious; all of his quotes are great
The range of this show from the 1920s to the 1970s is remarkable.
It's about the 60's, business men, housewives, sex, alcohol and of course cigarettes. The best god damn show there is.
I don't think you understand the show. its far from a glorification of the 60s. The show critiques every single aspect you just mentioned.
It doesn't. It portrays them.
I found the replies odd since OP in no way implied the show was promoting any of the things he listed. Yet you two assumed he didn't understand the film.
These aren't close to the best quotes tho. "What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons" now that's a fooking quote
That's truly a fucking quote
It's a nice quote but i hope people understand that in the next line Rachael basically read him like a book and told him that he spends his life looking in from the outside hoping he could experience this genuine love that he supposedly disdains.

The actress who played Rachel Menkin would've been a great Lois Lane!
bellabuie22 Maggie Siff
She's so beautiful and talented
There Margret Kitter she the best Lois Lane and she's astronaut.
I agree with you. She looks like a Lois Lane
"Advertising is based on one thing: Happiness." Hasn't changed in 50 years
"His grandfather lost it all in '29...some people have no faith in this country!" - Bert Cooper

"Have we ever hired any jews?"
"Not on my watch"
Best thing ever

My favorite is "I'm not here to tell you about Jesus....."
and season 4, "Did you enjoy the Furher's Birthday?" "May he live for a thousand years"

Did you take out a magnifying glass for that?

I'm almost certain that was a model that I used I in HS '71 model. Early eighties. Probably couldn't find one that old.
@@paulallen1916 he said " However "

- Don Draper.
Best. Quote, Ever.
you really just have to watch it and from the beginning! then and only then will you appreciate the beauty that is Mad Men.

you are whacked and also blocked. have a nice and whacked out life you freakoid.
Fabulous. Don Draper is our favorite "double agent man". There's just something about that man....
Dang John Hamm and Vincent both look so young!!
The quote where Don talks about happiness is revisted when he referrers to happiness in season 5 as a moment before you need more.
2:05 how was that not a red signal for me only after i saw sal make out with a dude? I feel like a dumbass
Yesterday I finished season 1, truly amazing!
"i'll tell you what brilliant in advertising is, 99 cents, somebody thought of that campbell"
Happiness is a moment before you need more happiness.
What about the entire "Carousel" speech?
Its not for everyone. It's a lot of smart and classy humor that you really have to think about to enjoy. You either hate it or love this show, no middle ground.
Thanks to LA Noire I want to watch the series.
did you watch it?
Reply
Yeah, reply.
watched the whole series over the weekend and i don't regret it

My favorite show. This and the wire are the only shows I go back to watch certain scenes/episodes
hey everyone ive discovered a secret.....
Mad Men - Ad Men.
Mind blown
Close.
Mad Men. Ad Men from Madison Avenue. Mind double blown.
Damn me.
Calvin Maynard
Not so much. It's in the first scene of the first episode. But yeah... they coined it.
JamesB00n my point exactly. Neither of our revelations are especially mind blowing.
When Don sells the Kodac carousal pitch waxing nostalgia I had a lump in my throat and felt my heart would explode. What an awesome scene.
if I ever do try to quit smoking (fingers crossed) I won't be able to watch this show or clips for years lol I have to smoke when I watch its so satisfying lol
No one had to hard sell it to me either, but trust and believe, -
Quit before your body quits you.
Brilliant; thanks for posting.
the first season is the one with the most controversial and funny lines
The first season of Archer lifted set pieces from this season . Great show
Campbell's "Ready to go sweet talk some retail Jews?" was epic and should've made it.
very amazing , thank you! now I want to rewatch madmen
I love Betty
Dayjon Allen Fuck Betty.
I love Peggy and Don that and Maggie I don't what her name is I'm sorry but I still know her as Tara.
I like the very ending as I could relate to it. The hardest part of divorce has been not walking in at the end of the day and hearing my son run up to me and say, "daddy!"
"You know what its like watching all your ants, going into your hive. I wipe my ass with the wall street journal." Totally unrelated.
Most memorable quote for me was more like a whole scene. The Nostalgia scene with the wheel.
Unforgettable and absolutely moving scene.
Greatness!
Now do a montage of the best Mad Men musical episode endings.
2:23 Harry crane had some fire quotes
"drinking milk, I never like it....I hate cows"
Ah the greatest quote. Lets analyze its deep meanings.
Season 1 was great. So many memorable moments!
Have we ever hired JEWS? not on my watch !!! hahahahahahahah AWESOME !!
Xx, she tried. Remember that early dinner with Roger and Mona, they were all discussing their childhoods and Don didn't participate..

i enjoy this show a lot more than GoT... maybe because i already read the books
My favorite season.
1:10 damn that’s some solid foreshadowing
great line
So good
"I love smoking."....great quote.
At some point, we've all parked in the wrong garage... LOL!!
10:26 Subtle foreshadowing of Don Drapers honest confession about his childhood during Hershey meeting
Your completely right. And it's because people haven't changed.
one of my favorite shows
Ahhh I get the Ylvis skit now!
@12:31 “Dick!” Don’t worry kid that’s exactly what the nice lady is shooting for.🤣
Jon Hamm should play in the next Batman!
The irony that's made in putting two of these scenes next to each other is fucking hilarious hahaha
Don: "People like Jim Hobart only talk business because they never have anything else to say"

Jim: "Then don't say anything"
I've got to say the writing is by far what Mad Men does the best. Not only the dialogue, but also with never wasting a word or a second of the 48 minutes an episode spans.

Draper is a stud.
Good scenes.
The train scene pretty much sums up Don Draper as a character: burying his guilt with booze and women.
I love the quote from Cooper at 5:32
GOD VIDEO SON
I don’t remember what season, but the most memorable quote to me was by Don Draper: “You either have Christ in your heart or you don’t.”
You know what? I think I need to start watching this show...
Best scene ever.
amazing
I know it's not a quote but you definitely should have had the Deodorant Flame Thrower in there :D
Wow, I can't believe how much younger everyone looks... what a difference 4 1/2 years makes. Except Roger and Bert...
You say that, When your picture is Tyrion lannister... That must meen... OH GOD, this is going to be Facemeltingly good
No, "how do you like your pearl necklace?" "no strawberry in a glass of milk?"
Are you working on any other quote montages?
The greatest quote in the show is true, your born alone and u die alone and the world drops a bunch of rules on u to make you forget except i dont forget.
yep!
sal was great...loved his gay quotes and every1 either smirked or chuckled and had no idea
What is the meaning of the last scene ? I never understood that ...
I always thought Jon Hamm would totally played as Bruce Wayne aka Batman. Honestly guys whenever I see Maggie Siff in Mad Men I crack a smile even in Sons Of Anarchy I still crack a smile.
6:09 - funniest thing i've heard in a while.
I swear I thought it said season 1,100
make one for the other season please!
@Zeldagamer55 I was actually refering to Mad men.
The very last scene is probably one of the best in all the seasons. Probably the first time you see Don really care.
