you're supposed to like it because of the clothes

you're supposed to want to dress like "Don Draper"


(at first I wrote "John Draper" but it turns out that's a different guy)

Integrating lunch counters in the Southern United States through the use of sit-ins in the 1960s was a major accomplishment of the Civil Rights Movement. These involved minorities and their supporters sitting at the lunch counter in areas designated for whites only, demanding service.


people of all colours and creeds
keep the memory of these sit-ins alive today
by yelling at the staff of shitty restaurants

so to go off topic

but the scene I've seen of mad men is the one where the guy and the bellhop do a thing, briefly

it looked pretty good!

that young guy in the hoody just came with his parents and is embarrassed and doesn't want his face photographed, so he spends the whole rally looking at his cell phone.

You get to feel a little superior to the misogynist racist people on this show, but they are smart, well dressed people w/ good jobs, instead of stupid people whose job is to have poor conflict management skills and be on TV.

Also, love how self centered everyone is in their misery. These people just will not make friends with each other, and if they do, they act like it is the most painful thing imaginable. These people address personal problems like they are all Hamlet.

Also, Roger barely talks when it isn't gold.

Also, it is kinda neat to see suave New Yorkers in the advertising biz look a bit naive.

You seldom see the 60s portrayed from the v of the establishment that is about to get it's ass kicked. This show is like Gone With the Wind, only Scarlet is American wasp nobility. Every other thing about the 60s is about how great is is to burn down Atlanta.

There are all these weird social norms that make the 60s look like a v different country, in some ways a pretty awful one, but at the same time a fun place some of the time. Conventional wisdom just looks so different. Even so, I can believe that people might act like this. A lot of shows have "character development" with characters basically betraying themselves every three episodes. These people sometimes change (if they have to) but they keep making sense.

But man, I feel like enough people like this already for me to keep getting my supply of it at least until it jumps the shark, so if you guys don't care for it, that is fine by me. I can probably think of more things I like about it though, so if anyone wants more disjointed gushing, I can just let the faucet run.

MM depicts an era where people are less careful, and common sense is more limited.

MM helps me understand why my parents have so many strange ideas. Their parents were alcoholic and infantile, with disproportionately great power. Fairness more often lost to caprice, and the attitudes of the past only die out when people themselves die. We probably carry tomorrows embarrassing horrors as deeply held convictions today.

In this show, grown men are excited and optimistic about going to space.

It's also a world where prosperity and convenience still feel like novel things. As glitzy as 1960s New York is, it's all just surface polish and there is nothing truly substantial standing between these people and subsistence farming.

just came back to this thread to suggest to whatsteamis that he cultivate a little bit of a sense of entitlement to get that Pete Campbell vibe going

if someone doesn't laugh at your joke, feel free to pm me a thing about how someday that person will feel foolish for not appreciating you, how they would have llvh if DMV had made the same joke

if you make a thread that doesn't go over as big as you thought it would, plz gnash your teeth

always liked that Campbell

goddamn, just glad we have a thread about this now

I mean, I wanted to start a thread about MM like a year ago, but for some reason just wanted to keep my Mad Mania to myself. NO MORE.
