ScreenPrism Did you ever consider talking about Villanelle from Killing Eve?

PLEASE DO MR ROBOT

@ScreenPrism. I like how this channel tries to mask its anti male propaganda with the flimsy shield of race. ''It's due to whiteness that these men are such awful people''. This propaganda works because minority men have the wishful thinking that they aren't included.

of course we are not all Pete because just the elite have rich parents that give you a job and stop managers to fire you just based on the status of your last name.... therefore Pete is just the shit rich dad person we all have to deal with from time to time... the materialization of non merit privilege.

That is why I can empathize with him. Anyone that has suffered impostor syndrome can empathize with Don, being an impostor in your own life.

Stratacaster87 yeah I was thinking the same thing. He's like a non person.

Of all people that want to be Don, Don wants to be Don the most.

Reminds me of this quote from Cary Grant: "Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant."

Don isn't Don to himself.. very true. However... I love they way they use his good looks against him.. It reminds me of Sansa Stark in a way. You love to hate her but you love her nonetheless..

😂

Haha, weiner prank

Omfg this man is too much of a genius how is affecting the audience this much

Doubt you are this handsome...I bet you look like Lane.

@Kvothe Blodless Right??? Besides, that accent is to die for

"Manny wouldn't hurt a fly!"

:-D

lmao- read that as he shouted it

one of my favorite scenes! I so hate Bob and that manwh*re Manolo ugh

The way Pete said that line cracked me up 😂

Same for me! I hated the fact that maybe subconsciously I would probably commit all of those mistakes Pit commits ! But at the end he kinda got his shit toguether and matured. And that gives us all some hope.

Most haters are like that. that's why some hate someone without knowing why. you see it literally everywhere once you're aware out it as haters tend to come in simpleminded predictable people

Jordi El Niño Polla• ah you didnt get the point

Same. My voice even sounds sort of similar to his when I am complaining. I am to be more of a Ken though, not a Don. Though I sometimes come off as Ginsberg.

That’s remarkably self aware!

Pete has so much amazing dialogue lol

Had a way with words

@@bink6778 Pete had almost all the best lines along with Roger

Great line 👍😉

NotgreatBOB! Hell’s bells Trudy that is FINAL!

😂 it had me in stitches. One of my and my mad men buddie's Gav lines

TRUTH!

Why??

A thing like that.

He’s full of them: “Hell’s Bell’s Trudy” is another one The chip and dip sequence was pretty good too

Well at least from what I can see, you still have your hairline.

I do not. It's an old picture. :(

@@FlintlockYT Now I feel sad for you.

Oliver Lewisohn, Sad!

@@FlintlockYT Lol at least you're an honest KZfaq commenter, which is much more than I can say for about 97% of the people on here, so I commend you for that!

In one of the first episodes, when Pete discovers Dons true identity. There is a line from Roger that Pete will be loyal to Don because he didn't get him fired. It's brilliant.

And then Don pays his 50k partner buy in.

@@sjoroverpiratIt's a different episode. Don fires Pete after he pitches his own copy to Bethlehem steel at a dinner. Cooper makes him unfire him because of his family connections but Roger makes it look like that was Don's merciful decision.

k a y l e e Pete really matured the most. Dude slid into the 70s so comfortably.

Yes totally.

Oooo he really did, though. I see him doing very, very well in the 70s. He had the right vibe and mindset.

He is the best character in series which progressed,matured and succeeded in life eventually..as realistic as it gets !! :)

Pete is what resembles in part of us when we work at our jobs for a long time. A progression of our maturity and success.

Joel D wait why

mriee because Peggy woke up pregnant by Pete.

Joel D yer but didn't her getting pregnant happen before this scene. Does he ever find out I feel like he does but I'm not sure

mriee this quote is from the pilot/first episode. She tells him at some point to make him feel terrible, but he takes it like a man, at the end of season 2 Google

That was pretty cool line

Re-watching, I see that Harry's "Married" comments to attractive and available young women his colleagues are flirting with/sexually harassing is really just social convention holding in his worst impulses: he is not really a decent person.

Jessica Victoria Carrillo not even a little bit of a decent person. He’s gross the entirety of the show. He was infuriating to watch.

Jessica Victoria Carrillo not even a little bit of a decent person. He’s gross the entirety of the show. He was infuriating to watch.

And while Harry in the beginning seems to be quietly resigned to being unappreciated, he grows more and more resentful, even as he becomes more and more successful. Pete visibly craves recognition for most of the show but slowly learns that it's not what is going to make him happy, becoming Don is actually not a good thing, and his decision to get back with Trudy and move to Kansas of all places shows that he has learned humility. I do like that Harry gets to do one decent thing, help Paul start over. He is a pretty interesting character, given how unremarkable and seedy he is. I was actually surprised when I looked on IMDb and saw that he was technically in more episodes than Roger. You just dont feel his presence.

And how Ken starts out being sorta slimy like the rest and becomes one of the most decent people on the show.

Ignoring the fact that he was extremely homophobic, he was possibly the least racist character.

@@it-s-a-mystery being progressive in one respect is more than not at all?

I knew I hated Harry after the MLK episode, and I perfectly understood Pete's reaction.

@@DinsRune is it better than nothing at all?

He even comes up with the idea for television directed towards black families because they are an untapped market. But no one appreciates his idea. In my opinion Pete and Don are basically the same person but the show is showing how you can be the same but if just a few factors are different the outcome is changed completely. Don is just Pete with charisma and looks. Don Also didn't work for what he has. He lied or played dirty to get it all. For example he gets Roger drunk to get a job at the firm.

one never knows how loyalty is born

Peggy as well. If you put Season 1 Peggy next to Season 7 the difference is striking

Purpled I just finished the show today and seeing clips of season 1 Peggy in these videos is weird lol

@@jfw1991 right? Lol

Glen Bishop

I figure it's a given because: Sally started as a child and kids grow and change (same with Glen), Peggy merely got more stylish and fashion changed, but Pete aged visibly and even put on weight (whereas Peggy can still fit into her first day at work outfit)

William McCormick Do you think it says something that unlike Roger & Don he eventually wins Trudy back? Also I noticed all three of these ad men have at least one daughter, anyone like to make a bed that Pete will develop a far more healthier and closer relationship with Tammy then Roger and Don did with Margaret and Sally?

William McCormick mostly by luck I don't think he truly deserved it

Except he’s still a rapist

@@caitlinroseblaney226 who?

@@Glimax didn't he rape that german au pair or am I remembering that wrong

Thats because he was evil from the start

@@HutTwoHike No place to go but up !

Not so dumb but not so hot anymore either 😮😂 Trudy leveled up and ol boy got older. Happens in real life too often as well.

Totally agree. I also think it was extra potent because Pete was so strongly tied to New York. He was constantly talking about how it was such a great city, his prestige was strongly linked with his family being old NYC landowners and there are shots of him looking out at the skyline. Unlike the move to LA, where he reluctantly went for the opportunity to advance his career, he chose to leave NYC behind to start fresh with his family, which to me was an incredibly romantic gesture. I think the show did a great job of showing how that for men in their position, NYC was a buffet of temptation. Pete was ready to leave that behind to be with Trudy, we see this in the advice he gave his brother about having an affair. Away from the city and the associated pressures of living up to his name, his position, masculine values of NYC professional men, etc. he could focus on his family.

I think part of it is poetic because Pete’s biggest problem is that he’s never satisfied with what he has; he’s always yearning for more. Both of Pete’s parents died while traveling, while transitioning, never to reach their desired destination. Pete was doomed to this fate, as he could never accept the life that he had and would die chasing after something more just beyond the horizon.

Well said

Tristan Guinot awesome observation

Nice

Jessica Victoria Carrillo I loved how Joan said “you’re the only one whoever kept their word to me” to Pete. I loved their friendship.

Sareeda N They came a long way from when Pete said that he wanted to salute her ass. Now he salutes her.

Jessica Victoria Carrillo he was always ahead of his time . By encouraging his coworkers to hire a black women in his firm and other social issues he has dealt with. Which Don has acknowledge Petes progressive ways!

Jessica Victoria Carrillo I believe that was Ken Cosgrove.

@@Victor-qx3vx That was a genuine quote from Joan. I believe she was saying that out of all the partners, Pete was the only one who was consistent and transparent with her.

Grown-ass Man Roger made me laugh but I never respected him. Pete I hated but grew to not only adore him but also respect by the end of the show.

It's like how we like Don's comment about love being invented to sell nylons to Rachel while Rachel actually did find a life of love and started her family or how everything Peggy was figuring out and her optimism and forward-thinking and trying not to be sexy worked better for her than Joan's va va voom office ways. Roger and Don and Joan look good to us but in the end, their attractiveness is hollow and doesn't work for them (or us in real life!). Rachel, Peggy, and Pete are more relatable and develop more as people.

Jessica Victoria Carrillo God, I love Rachel and all the convo she had with Don, so fresh and deep. My heart broke to pieces when she died, so sudden and tragic, I don’t get why Matthew Wiener killed her off, is that even necessary to the plot?

k a y l e e you don’t respect him because he doesn’t even respect himself, Bert pointed that out in season 4 when they lose lucky strike.

I guess a big diff between him and her: she died young but managed to get a full and rich life aside from wealth. She has a family that loved and missed her, she had a successful business, she has a legacy she inherited that she refined.

Deidre Wilson much better shirt

They treated him like he didn't fit and wasn't deserving of his prominent name. That's why he was always needing validation. I love the evolution of this character. It was great to see him a success and finally feel good in his own skin.

I actually respected his determination to find his own way in advertising when he could have done anything else, and used his family connections to be anything else. He wanted his own path. Of course the problem with being raised in a blue blooded family was his inability to wait; he wanted quick fixes all the time. He was willing to blackmail Don into being made head of accounts, despite his work being good enough to warrant it happening for him eventually. His impatience was always an issue with his character.

Yes! Maybe it'd be about the "Other Mad Men" and I'd like to see one about the Secretaries and the Housewives.

Diabetes Man Do you think Pete and Stan both start out as these arrogant young men who had to learn how to work with and respect the women in their lives, especially at work?

Basically. But I would say that Stan is more of a frat bro to Pete's yuppie prep boy. Stan's style changes too like Pete's. He goes from the typical office asshole to the more laid back artist. He even grows that beard and wears that kind of hippie style clothing to show the change. I would say too that Stan's persona was all an act before. That night when he finds out his cousin dies in Nam and he tries to sleep with Peggy she tells him he can't mask it with drugs and sex. Maybe that wasn't the exact time he changed but it definitely helped to start it.

Diabetes Man I would like to see a video comparing Stan to Mr. Darcy (whether it's Jane Austen or Helen Fielding)

Diabetes Man - I love Stan. Jay R Ferguson is genius in that role.

Max Aggropop Yeah i looked that up and it’s like 50$ today. Which to me isn’t THAT expensive for an expensive haircut.. or is it? I’m so out of touch with the executive lifestyle how would i know

@@ninagru901 hello, I'm a stylist and I would say that it is expensive for a men's haircut..I would say around $50 is an average price for a womans cut. Definitely the price of a men's cut (at a barber) in the upper east side! :) For an expensive womens haircut in nyc could range from $75 to $150 (could even be higher!). Depends on the stylist's level and experience and of course, salon. lol that was a bit of a description you didn't ask for haha

@@ninagru901 It is expensive, because although TODAY it might not be that expensive, people generally (have to) spend more on anything of value than was necessary in that time. So in essence, you could buy a very good haircut for $2-4, so _imagine_ the kind of vain jerk who would pay $5 (the upper limit) for something as simple as a haircut! It shows a reflection of values and a lack of good sense as to where to spend your money.

1) $5 is so cheap for a haircut and 2) oh yea it was the 60s lol 3) you don't want a crappy haircut either way lol

It was 1960.

Evan North Doubt

He's a great character. I love Pete and Ken the most

Truth

No, there is not! But it would be amazing if they made little videos about minor characters, like; Ken, Bert, Sally, Megan and so on...

Really? I thought Ken was kind of on the opposite arc to Pete. He becomes more and more of a brattish arsehole. By the end, Ken is a character I loved to hate. The permanent eye patch is a great touch though haha.

Rejoy Panakkal soooo true

PREACH

Pete is the perfect representation of the millennial generation. He has no self esteem, is constantly trying to find himself and when he does, it's not perfect but he's happy with it.

That makes absolutely no sense. First off, this is a character from the 60s who grew up in 50s and is of a completely different generation. Secondly, that describes multiple people on the show. It's almost as if people are the same everywhere, no matter what time it is...

The concept of a millennial is ageless. Just the negative attributes of young people have become more vocal and that generation's become unanimous with it. Unfairly, really.

BEN

whoah you like clapton and lost? hi new best friend

hi

i think they are kinda surface level stuff.

@@seaque. it’s easy to criticize something with an anonymous KZfaq comment, let’s see you put together something like this. Of course it’s surface level stuff, that’s the point of looking at themes.

John Smith well to be fair 5$ back then would be like 40$ nowadays.

Inflation

You gotta multiply by 8 at the beginning of the series, by 7 at the end. I was also stunned when Roger paid for a meal in season 7 and said "10$? How much did you eat?" Or something along those lines.

Found some info that The average woman’s haircut cost $2 in the sixties. Today women’s hair cuts often cost twice as much as men’s. So if the average male cut was $1-$2 dollars in 1960 then $5 is up to 5x as expensive. Obvs just a very rough estimate but you get the idea

@@salmonsays1466 and he paid $100

so well said.

"Journey".

@Enrique Olague Or not. When we look at people who are influencial in the modern world nowadays, there are plenty of people who are well respected and whose name weight a ton. From politicians and artists to kpop idols and influencers, self promotion and branding has never been easier than before.

Max Monas Wisecrack is another channel similar to Screenprism, and has just as much consistently good content. Both are my favorite youtube channels (though I do enjoy Screenprism a bit more)

Its kinda hard unless you've read some psychology and behavior stuff. Also most people only watch shows once unless you really love it and watch it multiple times then you do notice stuff like this

how do you know what most people think about this show? Have you heard their conversations?

😎😎😎😎

I love this.

Yes..

Anika L Ahmed I liked him a lot to start with because I found his family dynamic interesting. A few seasons later he was my favorite character after I had watched him grow up a little

I did too!! I was actually surprised to see so many ppl hated him..

Why did you like him from the start? He was a really piece of trash in the first season and everything you hate about a person he had it.

He was perfect from the get-go!!! Vincent's amazing talent helped it!!!

I absolutely love that scene. That was the advert that Peggy had in mind!

lol yes, some great comedy moments in this show. The first time I laughed out loud at this show was when Peggy rings Don about the Sugarberry Ham stunt going wrong and then theres a pause on the line and Peggy asks 'Don..are you still there?' And he just makes this really bored face and sighs: 'Yes..'

Lord Reyne of Castemere Roger Sterling is the best

Man child with money unnable to accept that hes getting old and hes the best character.

Possibly the most likable character on the show. He's done some bad stuff like cheat on his wives and impregnate a married woman, but we still like him.

OH YES PLEASE :)))))

I always loved the dynamic between Roger & Pete. Roger clinging to the Head of Accounts job, even after he loses all his accounts, because he has the power of the full partnership and the relationships with Bert, Don, etc to keep him there. Whereas Pete gets stuck in that terrible middle office with the pole even though he's doing the majority of Accounts work. It's such a situation most of us can relate to but also hate.

River PB I want one for every one, especially Ken, Sal, Sally, and Roger.

I watched it for the 3rd time too. You know a classic is when you can watch it for the 3rd time and still pull more from it. I decided I disliked betty the most this run but liked Pete the most. We was always ahead of his time. Drove me crazy when people would never listen to him.

Miranda Sally Draper is the classic baby boomer, she resents her silent generation parents, but we know she’ll end up like them, or will try so hard not to end up like them, she’ll lose herself, I can see her having children young, in the 70s, she’ll divorce and then remarry and have another child, and become a yuppie in the 80s, her children will be Gen x and millennials

What's pliss?

The true show's best character.

It was a nice touch. The director had some of the cast gain weight too during different times of the show. I really appreciate those details. Like facial hair changes, civil rights in the back ground, the historical Ali fight, moon landing. A lot happened in the 60s lol I love it

Stan’s insult on Lou’s comic was better

Right!??

His "niece" that one time
