THE FULL RESET THAT HIS FACE WENT THROUGH WHEN HE GAVE HIM CREDIT FOR THE MERCY

How dumb do you have to be to fail to understand that inhaling cigarette smoke and its thousands of toxic volatile compounds might be bad for you?

On a bed made of money .... that is what Ben Shapiro stole when arguing with Malcom Nance on Bill Mager's Real Time.

John Hamm is a great actor!!

Well let’s get one of the other ones 💀

When did Rosa Klebb get into advertising?

Old Age and Treachery Beats Youth and Skill.

That’s one of the best lessons I learned playing college football. There are rules, and then there are the “other” rules. The all-conference player lives by a set of rules that’s different than that of the freshman walk on. The quicker you learn to live and abide by your rule set the better. Life is not fair.

She is having an Ayn rand moment! Don draper ain't having it!

The directing on this show was incredible. 3:29 - Roger's face = "I think we're going to have a different conversation." 4:05 - "we're definitely having a different conversation." 5:09 - "shut up Don,I'm trying to save your job here." 5:20 - "here comes the the killer line." 5:50 - Don's face = "did I just almost lose my job?" Cooper asserted his authority with constructivness and class.

This is why I never watched this show. Too many guys willing to smell farts for money. Salesmen...eating shit every day and loving it.

This was awesome!

After I was done a non union apprenticeship and working in my fir two years adjed fir s raise Tight wade boss said kid I might be able to guve you a nickel raise . Told him to stick the nickel up his ass and got a much better paying job soon afterwards.

I just now noticed the look Don gave Roger when he took off his shoes and dropped about 2 inches in height. This show was a treasure trove of small details.

I had a younger boss try this “insubordinate” bs on me. After I got done with him he quit just before he was to be fired. I bought everyone pizza for lunch and they toasted his exit. 😂

That was the Baltimore accent back then?

Okay, ear-hounds, who says 3:13 "Can't be avoided I'm afraid," the lips don't sync. Obv Sterling, but more like foley, or not?

Every moment of Roger is screen gold.

Awesome acting by Pete 😅

That long drag Sal took on his cigarette at 1:10 was brilliant. "We're about to see some shit go down."

Classic!

Sal was so underrated. He was so good at his job

lol, Ayn Rand lived rent-free inside this show's head.

Roger has some clean bottom of his shoes..

Show wouldn't work today; getting fired is a blessing; you get to go get a new job making more money elsewhere because hiring budgets are bigger than raise budgets. Everyone would be excited to get fired, qualify for unemployment, and have a big name on their resume while they job hunt.

What does Cooper do all day?

Smokers make the world go round… So, SMOKE 🚬 UP! 🫵🏻

Hilarious

The bitter pill every man has to swallow. There are some people who have connections that makes them untirable. Most of the time they were raised with the pressure of you NEVER let the family down. That meant that they were usually very competent. It's the ones who were screwups.... l

Little did Roger know that his actions in giving Don the credit would at different times save Don's bacon and the firms.

"That's ridiculous!" -- Oh Sal, have I got news for you...

Did he get screwed in his raise? Most definitely given the 1960s era. If he did that and got anything today, he'd be a master negotiator. Most jobs I've known will remove a highly skilled worker with 10+ years experience, asking for a modest 8% raise, and replace them with a newbie at half the cost if they can. Doesn't matter if quality of work or output of production fall significantly. Today, jobs will literally destroy themselves before giving involuntary raises (i.e. ones the company doesn't suggest themselves). They take a 2000s Bush era stance to workers: _"We will not negotiate with -terrorists- workers and unionizers." To them, it's the principle of giving in to an employee. Give an inch, and they'll want a mile. So instead, a company will sabotage itself into obscurity if they must. Generally, there's always a bailout button of some kind.

Sals comment was the definition of projection...

That is some bad accent, ‘cept maybe in an Austin Powers movie.

Don Draper's large what?

She is RIGHT ABOUT THE SMOKING. She hasn't a clue how to put the idea into play in a MANS WORLD.....

5:31 What's up with Don's foot??

How does Don go from telling him to put his stuff in a box, to allegedly standing up for him? That shouldn't have made any sense to Pete.

“There ya go! I’m glad we’re all better now 🙂.” This part thoooooooooooo.

Bert was nothing if not consistent about what was important to the agency - here making clear that firing Pete was bad for reputation and business - and in the reverse situation in S1E12 making clear to Pete that "who cares" about his kompromat on Don (because Don is good for business)!

Which melody is Bert whistling by the end of the meeting in his office?

A stellar scene with many quotable lines from a show with many stellar scenes. The line, "...panicked, some people have no confidence in this country.", gets to me everytime. Plus, the Heisman Trophy in Campbell's box was a nice touch.

Never watched this show when it was out --- might binge watch from Season 1 one of these days, though . . .

The thing I always liked about Pete is that he really meant it when he said he won’t let Don down. He didn’t. Right to the end.

Today that wouldn't even cover my grocery bill......

Never seen this series, but that manager's response was pure brilliance.
