A few scenes later, during a weekend cook out at the Drapers’, a neighborhood dad looks at the VW ad and cracks: “last time I saw something like that, I was throwing a grenade at it!” It seems like a throwaway line but it struck me as a poignant reminder of how many middle aged men of that era were combat veterans of WWII and that a lot of the excessive smoking, drinking and philandering may have also been self-medicating for untreated combat stress and PTSD.

@gramme parsons Advertising is almost never honest because honesty is everyday normality. A list of features and a picture of the car on it's own, it's honest because that's all they are really selling you, it's not exciting or inspiring compared to what the competition's ads are offering. Most advertisements are selling an experience, an adventure, a pretty girl, a lifestyle or even the impossible, all to get you excited in the product, even thought it has little to nothing to do with the actual product itself. Rather slow to realise to the mad men, that honesty or even mediocrity can sell just fine, especially if it gets people talking, because what Volkswagen were doing was so against the norms of advertising of the day it stands out from the rest and becomes a talking piece, whether it's as a reliable functional car or the butt of jokes to ad men or car enthusiasts. Any conversation is better than no conversation, since most ads are forgotten instantly and never talked about.

We see that perfectly illustrated in this series. Only the very last episode is highly unlikely, otherwise it seems realistic. The smoking is real, the drinking is not. Perhaps some liquor brands got together to sponsor the series? There would be one or two drunks in any agency but otherwise not. One cannot perform or get ideas when drunk. Only the drunk himself thinks he does well. Get drunk and you will find you think you are a genius , funny, attractive, a formula one driver.

In this era, (1960s), America's car adverts were all about image and selling a lifestyle. So they were colourful and full of landscapes, pretty girls, loving families and surburban bliss. Essentially it comes from the idea that there is nothing about your product which can't be found in a dozen other products, so you have to dress it up with some fantasy bullshit, lies or irrelevant crap and sell that. Since that is Don Drapper's go to move, the VW ad really rattles him because it is the opposite of that approach. By showing nothing but the product against a blank background, it forces the eye to concentrate on the product and tries to sell a simple, reliable product. At the time, it would've been startling because it would have been the first car ad in America to cut through the bullshit. It would have the same kind of impact then as an ad for women's cosmetic products where the woman in the ad isn't a supermodel who has spent 5 hours being made up by professional make-up artists and the narrator said something like "It's a lipstick, not a magic wand you ugly bitch".

I dont understand the Chinaman remarks. Can someone explain them to me?

The part about the shirts is a reference to the fact that a disproportionate number of dry cleaners and laundromats of the time were run by Chinese immigrants. The part about 'taking them out again in an hour' is a reference to a common remark that, after eating Chinese food, you're only full for about a half-hour or an hour before you want more.

No worries. It's just that I am not American, so those remarks were out of context for me.
