“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.

ik this show is a critique of american culture or whatever but damn I wish i had that grit

Not a Hippe. A Beatnik.

What an absolute beta cuck😂

There are 3 people I could listen to all day.......George Harrison, Frank Zappa and the character "Bert" from "Mad Men"

Bobby Morse is one of the rare Hollywood breed that hit the pentacle of his career at an age when most big stars had long faded

Yeah, I don’t think you know what the word pretentious means😂

What did Bert even do? They never show him doing anything.

There are SO MANY good characters in this show, but Roger is probably the best, IMHO

i wish we would get a subtitled version of what bert is really SAYING. "i wish i could agree with that." = ARE YOU NUTS? "and there are other rules." = AND I MADE THEM OR AT LEAST UNDERSTAND THEM MUCH BETTER THAN YOU. "its a marquee issue for us." = KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF. "youre going to need a stronger stomach...." / "you know how much we want you here with us." = IF YOU WANT THE BIG JOB ONE DAY, YOU BETTER STOP HAVING TANTRUMS OVER NOTHING, OR ELSE YOU'RE OUT. (note: theres also a don draper in any other agency out there, too!) "im glad we are all better now!" = AND NOW, NO MORE OF THIS, GET BACK TO WORK. also note the look that roger gives off at 5:19 - "oops, someone is f-ing themselves out of their job"

Were these people hippies or beatniks?

21st century wimps don't like knowledgeable assertive personalities. It's called being intimidated because you're really tue dumb know it all. IRONY 😂

ive gotten raises when i should've been promoted , and of the 2'times that ive asked for a raise was mildly surprised when they gave them to me , one of my odd bosses a nam vet once told me that it wasn't always hard work and sweat that got 1' a raise , timing and a good sense of humor and quick wit add to the punch bowl

sagacious old devil cool and smooth

He took the glass back lol

Robert Morse was brilliant. They were very fortunate to get him for this part.

I wonder if bank tellers would check ID upon cashing a check? If not, I'd be tempted to waltz into the nearest bank I saw and cash it. 😂😂 And then still negotiate a pay rise.

That hippie was definitely a fuck up... But he ain't wrong about the industry

Weird how everyone is saying the title of the video (published 14 years ago) is missing the point when it's pretty obvious why she's pretentious: she's bringing a super negative approach to smoking that is guaranteed to anger the client and do the opposite of what the advertisement should do, namely making the cigarette smoker forget the possible medical dangers of the product. It's pretentious to bring Freud or her studies in Germany into a context where you're trying to, in Don's words, sell "happiness," not be "perverse". Later in the series, Don sits in on a McCann meeting for low-calorie beer that has research pointing to a similarly dour perspective on consumers, which Don also rejects as too negative. The irony all along is both that Don is not happy with his life and the material answers he sells in his ads are not the cure to his unhappiness. But damn the Mad Men comment sections seem to be full of people who never watched a single minute of the actual show, just the odd clip that makes Don look a little too obnoxious, rather than what he is, a keen observer of behavior.

Just leave your resume on the printer

If I'm asking fora raise, I've already found another job and I'm giving my employer a chance to keep me.

Too shallow

Lol. They did the exact same maneuver to me at Micro Center, and I quit. Don't do this!

"how to clearly advertise your deepest insecurities on youtube to 3 million people".

Yes she handled them well.

Brilliant writing.

Lol i forgot about that gay guy what happened to him?,

You’re here because of Don Draper’s large ass

Before becoming reliant on downers, they were already reliant on each other. I make mistakes too, but it's dangerous when you're comfortable making them.

click bait

"I blow up bridges" 😂😂😂

great scene

Robert Morse was magnificent.

It works for him because he is the perfect combination of intimidating and charismatic, without both he would be doomed, too intimidating and the client would see him as a bully, a jerk or unprofessional, too charismatic and the client would see him as a sleaze, a clown, or untrustworthy, with both Don Draper has the ability to be larger than life, a man who is able to talk big and creatively while still be taken seriously.

I do not proclaim myself an intellectual, nor a philosopher who can see the deeper meaning in art, in this case a clip from a television show. So if that is what you are in search of, you may want to have a look at the other comments here. I say all of this to say that I find it hilarious the way he says, "there you go! I'm glad we're all better now", coupled with that funny smile.

They did you a favour.

People were not buying cigarettes before Freud was born.

This show is a masterpiece

''You gonna need a stronger stomach if you are going to be back in the kitchen seeing how the sausage is made'' Okay Bert, that was a good one!

"I know your generation went to college instead of serving so let me illuminate you" is a savage line
