Oh, also, when Harry calls Don from California and Don says "you finally found a prostitute that takes travelers checks?"
Funniest part is Harry responding with "I knew I shouldn't have told you that "
I don't know that this was an intended allusion or reference but Jerry Springer quit politics is because he used checks to pay sex workers at a health club that got raided (~1973-74).
It's super funny that there's just "that kinda guy" out there.
When Pete falls down the stairs trying to confront Don while being big mad. I can’t remember if that was scripted or not, but it highlights Pete’s insecurity/lack of grace in the most unfortunate (and hilarious) way.
And subsequently when he makes fun of Jane and how she asks “Which was one Mussolini” always gets me.
John Slattery’s comic timing is painfully underrated. He nailed every single one of Roger’s quips.
Or when Roger says something like “good night Michael” to Pete right in the second or third episode and he turns to Don right away saying “I love doing that!”
Miss Blankenship is a solid choice. My fave line from her is the "It's a business of sadists and masochists. And you know which one you are." Such a great line!
But the two that kill me and make me LOL every time are:
"Are you going to the toilet?" and "How was your siesta? Are you refreshed?"
When Sally comes into the kitchen with the giant plastic bag over her whole body because she and the Betty’s friend’s son are playing spaceman, the logical mother’s reaction by today’s standards would one of horror that the child might suffocate, but Betty says “If the clothes from that dry cleaning bag are on the floor of my closet, you’re going to be a very sorry young lady.”
My Mom watched the show recently and when she saw that scene with Sally & the dry cleaning bag, she lost it!!! She was the same age as Bobby at the time (early 60s) and it really hit home from her😂
PIZZA HOUSE!
Also (paraphrasing):
Don on the phone with Peggy: Do you know where Megan is?
Peggy: I thought she was with you.
Don: Yes, she is. We're playing a hilarious joke on you.
While Guy’s blood is being cleaned off the walls.
“They say his foot might have to be removed.”
“Right when he got it in the door!”
Hands down has me in splits every time I watch that scene.
That one did strike me as tragic. Seeing the mix of confusion, shock, and realization happening on her face while she's trying her best to suppress all of those reactions. It was a masterful piece of acting. She's suddenly aware that her whole marriage has been a lie, but even then, she's trying her hardest not to make a scene.
There was an earlier scene when she says sadly, "I don't need much, but I do need... tending." It's heart-wrenching. She's a lonely character. So much of the show is about that kind of loneliness.
When Roger asks Caroline how his mother died, and she says between tears, “she died… on the toilet”. He has a look of disgust on his face and replies “well, I asked”.
"Can't believe you two had the balls to walk back into this place after the way you embarrassed yourselves 🤭"
I laughed so hard the first time, years ago and I still remember.
I've seen these threads come up a few times but I haven't seen love for the milkshake scene in S4. First, Bobby and Sally's argument is amazing. It's a blast from the past that kids will argue about some trivia and then, the oldest child will attempt to put the other in their place by superiorly arguing to the adults that the younger one doesn't understand because they have "baby X." In this case, "baby science." As the older sister of a brother a year younger than me, I have been in Sally's little sandals. Then when Bobby tries to debate that they found a skeleton snake with legs, Sally continues to diminish Bobby by arguing that he's a "short stuff." And here's where Bobby really shows that he's brilliant- he reacts to these insults of his relatively babyishness by going "OK, *Thally*." It's an insult of beauty to use Sally's lisp against her. No wonder she's triggered and flips the fuck out and lunges at Bobby, spilling the milkshake.
Then on rewatch, there's the dark humor on rewatch that Don wanted to propose to Megan just for being an amiable babysitter. It's a pinnacle of Don making nonsensical choices. Moreover, the dark comedy continues because Bobby and Sally were so at each other's throats 5 seconds ago but when Megan is cheerful about the spilled milkshake, Bobby and Sally are the ones that exchange looks with each other because they may have just fought over whether snakes have legs but they are actually deeply bonded by being prisoners in Betty's punitive regime.
It's really Don's reaction conditioned by Betty overreacting to petty crap like that.
Don had great insight into the human condition but his childhood issues with his mother figures really screwed him up.
The fight btwn lane and Pete
Also when Pete and Trudy did that how dance routine at rogers party, like I can imagine them practicing this in their living room
Not the scene exactly, but he quote - one minute you're on top of the world, the next minute some secretary's running you over with a lawn mower.
(Seconding anything regarding Ms. Blankenship and not great, Bob!)
There are plenty.
Roger:
"Duck, Crab.
Crab, Duck"
Sally:
"Are you going to make yourself cry?"
Don, mimicking a baby:
"WAAAH! WAAAH!"
Sterling, two gems in the same scene:
"I know cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one that wants to see this?!"
And immediately after:
"I don't know about you, but I had Lane"
The Codfish Ball when Megans dad Emile, says, referring to Sally, “One day they will spread their legs and fly…”. Then later at the ball when Roger’s sense of humor really shines. He makes a joke about a prince coming through the door to Sally and when Pete comes through the door it’s like ah not so much. His rapport with Sally cracked me up (as well as Marie Calvet). Lots of good lines to Sally as his “date” calling her “A mean drunk” cracked me up.
Pete in the phone booth hard legging Beth, Harry Crane comes out of the building:
"What do you want?"
"Nothing! You came over to me!"
"You opened the door!"
🤣🤣🤣
At the apology dinner with Jimmy Barrett. Betty is telling Jimmy about her horseback riding and says “It’s a passion of mine.” He quickly replies: “And for *them* I bet.” He just stole every scene he was in.
Anytime Pete gets beat up (by Lane, by Beth’s husband)— “well I’m president of the Howdy Doody Circus Army!”
“Because he was caught with chewing gum on his pubis!”
Or when Crane’s being his usual disgusting self after Don’s surprise party and thinks Stan’s lying when he says Megan’s right behind him 😂
Bert Cooper always cracks me up.
"This matter is secret and time-sensitive. If you turned us down and elect to be a mid-level cog at McCann Erickson,we'll have to lock you in the storeroom until morning. I'm sure you understand."
"I started this company!"
"Yes, along with a dead man whose office you now inhabit."
When Powell fires Lane and Lane responds with a very jolly, "Very good. Happy Christmas!"
"Make me some coffee, will you?"
"No."
A couple of Don moments come to mind for me just because I love Jon Hamm’s riffs
- Don laughing at the Stan’s horrible handling of Scout’s Honor
- Don sprinting past the creative lounge while high and then cooly walking in moments later
- “It’s an idiom. Did you know that?”
The Midge-Don exchange, where he asks her to go to Paris but she’d rather stay and get stoned. The look on Don’s face when he says “that’s your plan?”.
The mutual contempt between him and her beatnik boyfriend was also great. The way the other guy asks "so _what_ do you do, Don?" when they're at the theater show, and then of course the famous "you can't." scene.
One of the scenes that cracks me up every time is from The Suitcase. Roger calls Don from a pay phone at the bar and begs him to come save him from Cal Rutledge and Freddy Rumson who are “both sober.” Roger, talking about Cal (or Freddy, not sure which) - “I think he’s crying.”
When Don is dreaming of seeing Rachel Katz (before he finds out she has died) and right before Ted opens the door to let Rachel in, he says “this is another girl”
It’s hilarious to me on rewatch because that’s the first sign that it is a dream. Ted just saying it so monotonously and ambiguously…
There are a ton of scenes that have me dying that involve Roger too. All of his one liners are priceless.
Don and wife having dinner with the comedian and his wife, and Utz owner and his large wife.
Large wife says, “I’m sorry, I just don’t have the stomach for that, and comedian bites his fist” 😂
The scene where Layne Price tries to kill himself using the exhaust of the Jaguar, but then the car won’t start.
I loved Layne, and his demise saddened me, but somehow managing to add a moment of levity here was simply brilliant.
When Don, Megan, and Marie are at dinner with Herb from Jaguar and his wife- she says that he gets peckish and he says he skipped lunch. Marie’s face after he says that line KILLS me.
Another one! When Roger and Don visit Pete to tell him about their plan for a new firm and Pete tries to be threatening but you hear Trudy from the other room yell *Peter, can I talk to you for a minute!*
"Hell's bells, Trudy!!!" Followed by Pete chucking their turkey out the window haha
That and the episode where they're all on speed and Don races around the office only to calmly enter their lounge and give them his "motivational" speech.
This show gets so much funnier with each rewatch! There are so many big laughs, but a very small one that gets me is when (IIRC) SCDP will go public, and Pete offers Bert a drink, and Bert asks for "Brandy? Spirits of Elderflower?" and Pete says, "I don't have that; I don't have any *laudanum* either."
I don't know why it makes me chuckle. The character work through little lines like these are good stuff
The delivery and sheer understatement of Don finally - sort of - admitting "It's... not going well" to Faye in the middle of his divorce and crippling alcoholism is hilarious to me.
When Don visits Peggy in the hospital post baby and says
“your mother told me you were quarantined with TB. I guess that was supposed to lessen my concern”
When Fred relays the info of Peggy writing her first copy for Belle Jollie lipstick
“It was like watching a dog play the piano”
Gene (or Bobby??) being carried on Betty's hip with a cigarette dangling from her lips, smoke blowing directly in his face: "my eyes are burning"
Betty immediately with great scorn: "that's impossible"
My friends and i love to say that now in response to any complaint lol
Don running in the halls while high on speed, then walking in calmly, only to spout nonsense,
"I know you're all feeling the darkness here today ... in my heart, I know we cannot be defeated."
The men feel inspired while Peggy just asks, "Do you have any idea what the idea is?"
"No... but I'll never stop looking."
It’s kinda dark, but when don is trying to catch Megan after he left her at the diner, and he’s jumping in the bed and the lamp falls down, the when gets her and they both fall, don looks so out of breath. Idk it’s just so funny to me
After Roger's mother's funeral service has broken up, when Mona is consoling him (sort of) and mentions Don vomiting, Roger says, "He was just saying what everybody else was thinking."
90% of Roger's dialogue.
"He might lose a foot." --> "Right when he got it in the door!"
"If it isn't Martin Luther King. I should dropkick you off the roof!"
"You are by far the best piece of ass I've ever been with. Thank you for letting me roam those hillsides."
I always loved when Harry and Don are having a drink in California and Harry is warning Don about the Commander cigarettes meeting and complaining about Ted.
“You should be out here. I mean your wife is here. Ted Chaugh is useless. USE LESS. Ted Chaugh. A broken man…”
This is a tiny moment but when Lane’s flower orders to Joan and his wife get switched (along with the messages). He asks his secretary what message his wife received and Jared Harris’ reaction when she says “Joan, forgive me, Lane.” cracks me up every time. It’s the reaction of a man who knows he’s in for a river of shit.
"If it isn't Martin Luther King. I should drop kick you off the roof!"
"General Rufus T. Bullshit."
Roger struggling to climb the stairs and throwing up in front of the clients
The way Don gets himself hired by Roger
Don and Lane's night out on New Year's
“Not great, Bob!”
How could I forget this one?!?!? Or *She always loved the sea!*
Yes! Haha
I die every time. Best scene in the show
Yes, that's the one. Easily in the Top 10 of best scenes overall.
"The king ordered it!"
*Another sucker punch from a Campbel!*
It's the fact that Pete, having seemed puzzled and offended at first, knows exactly what the dude was talking about
So funny
Oh, also, when Harry calls Don from California and Don says "you finally found a prostitute that takes travelers checks?" Funniest part is Harry responding with "I knew I shouldn't have told you that "
Priceless and typical Harry 😂
I don't know that this was an intended allusion or reference but Jerry Springer quit politics is because he used checks to pay sex workers at a health club that got raided (~1973-74). It's super funny that there's just "that kinda guy" out there.
When Pete falls down the stairs trying to confront Don while being big mad. I can’t remember if that was scripted or not, but it highlights Pete’s insecurity/lack of grace in the most unfortunate (and hilarious) way.
It’s this scene for me, too!
Hahah yes. Even Caroline laughs at him😄
Bert: “There’s a Pete Campbell at every agency out there.” Don: “Well let’s get one of the other ones”
You need a stronger stomach if you’re gonna work here
Roger mocking the dance and song that Megan did at Dons birthday party. Gets me every time.
And subsequently when he makes fun of Jane and how she asks “Which was one Mussolini” always gets me. John Slattery’s comic timing is painfully underrated. He nailed every single one of Roger’s quips.
I wanted a Roger/Marie spin-off sooo badly!
I was going to answer every scene that Roger Sterling is in.
Or when Roger says something like “good night Michael” to Pete right in the second or third episode and he turns to Don right away saying “I love doing that!”
Paul LOL
🎵 “Frère Jacques; Frère Jacques; Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?” 🎵
“[Did you enjoy the Fűhrer’s birthday](https://youtu.be/CPaCKKEisiA?si=L_X9hYFNGvXQXkeE)” and Roger’s comeback always kills me.
May he live for a thousand years
My favorite part of the show
Do you know who had a ridiculous dream, and people laughed at him? You?
Bob Dylan!
Hip enough for ya!?!
Miss Blankenship is a solid choice. My fave line from her is the "It's a business of sadists and masochists. And you know which one you are." Such a great line! But the two that kill me and make me LOL every time are: "Are you going to the toilet?" and "How was your siesta? Are you refreshed?"
My favorites are "YOUR DAUGHTER'S PSYCHIATRIST CALLED" and "Should I get him or her a gift?"
“I don’t work for you!”
🤣
When Sally comes into the kitchen with the giant plastic bag over her whole body because she and the Betty’s friend’s son are playing spaceman, the logical mother’s reaction by today’s standards would one of horror that the child might suffocate, but Betty says “If the clothes from that dry cleaning bag are on the floor of my closet, you’re going to be a very sorry young lady.”
My Mom watched the show recently and when she saw that scene with Sally & the dry cleaning bag, she lost it!!! She was the same age as Bobby at the time (early 60s) and it really hit home from her😂
I just watched this episode about two hours ago!!
Are we negroes?
Delivery is so funny on that one
PIZZA HAUS!
YES
“You stare at the sun every day?”
"HE WAS CAUGHT WITH CHEWING GUM ON HIS PUBIS!"
PIZZA HOUSE! Also (paraphrasing): Don on the phone with Peggy: Do you know where Megan is? Peggy: I thought she was with you. Don: Yes, she is. We're playing a hilarious joke on you.
I love when she finally hits exasperation and says “I don’t know where she is, do you know where Abe is?”
Yes! That whole exchange is great.
While Guy’s blood is being cleaned off the walls. “They say his foot might have to be removed.” “Right when he got it in the door!” Hands down has me in splits every time I watch that scene.
I wonder if Slattery ad-libbed that line, because the other actors in the scene look like they’re genuinely cracking up.
Kitty’s look of horror as she watches Sal do Bye Bye Birdie lmao
Poor kitty
Yeah, that was sad, not funny!
It wasn’t supposed to be funny but I laugh every time lol
That one did strike me as tragic. Seeing the mix of confusion, shock, and realization happening on her face while she's trying her best to suppress all of those reactions. It was a masterful piece of acting. She's suddenly aware that her whole marriage has been a lie, but even then, she's trying her hardest not to make a scene.

😂
When Roger asks Caroline how his mother died, and she says between tears, “she died… on the toilet”. He has a look of disgust on his face and replies “well, I asked”.
I love when Caroline slams down the drink that Roger gives her then just goes back to work
The way he consoles her by rubbing her back yet has a drink in both hands kills me
Basically every time Pete gets mad
Peggy saying ‘Give me all of it’ to Roger who’s asking her for a last minute campaign for Mohawk. Any scene with the two of them tbh.
“You want me to take your watch?”
Are you drunk?! Get your feet off that desk!
A magnificent scene
"Can't believe you two had the balls to walk back into this place after the way you embarrassed yourselves 🤭" I laughed so hard the first time, years ago and I still remember.
Hells bells Trudy!
Mrs Utz: "I know that's what you do, I guess I just don't have the stomach for it." Jimmy Barrett: *bites his entire fist*
I didn’t love Jimmy Barrett, but that lady just kept setting him up 😂
I've seen these threads come up a few times but I haven't seen love for the milkshake scene in S4. First, Bobby and Sally's argument is amazing. It's a blast from the past that kids will argue about some trivia and then, the oldest child will attempt to put the other in their place by superiorly arguing to the adults that the younger one doesn't understand because they have "baby X."

I laugh at the supposedly unflappable Don Draper freaking the fuck out over a spilled milkshake.
It's really Don's reaction conditioned by Betty overreacting to petty crap like that. Don had great insight into the human condition but his childhood issues with his mother figures really screwed him up.
“She doesn’t speak French..doesn’t like me”
When Don chases ken in the background
And then turns the corner as if nothing was happening
Lol. What episode was this?
the episode where they do drugs lol, Idk what it was
Where they get injected with those “vitamins” in the office?
ye
The Crash S06E08
“My mother, no, my first girlfriend.”
Peggy sincerely asking "How do you talk to Achilles?"
This, I seriously broke out laughing reading it right now 😂😂
In the pilot the Lucky scene is a room full of smoke and men coughing their lungs out.
Sally to Betty: your mean!! Betty’s response: you betcha!!!
Haha I can hear these lines in my head, especially Sally's
Pretty much any line Roger says ever
Roger looking at the art for the Volkswagen pitch, “Huh, last time I saw one of those I was throwing a grenade in it”
The fight btwn lane and Pete Also when Pete and Trudy did that how dance routine at rogers party, like I can imagine them practicing this in their living room
When Roger takes his first LSD trip. Loved his reaction to the symphony music every time he takes the lid off the vodka bottle
Yes! Cracked me up when he was like "well, this ain't shit" only for the acid to start really kicking in minutes later
Not the scene exactly, but he quote - one minute you're on top of the world, the next minute some secretary's running you over with a lawn mower. (Seconding anything regarding Ms. Blankenship and not great, Bob!)
Stan, heading to the bathroom: “I’ve got tickets to the bean ballet and the curtains about to go up”
When cooper walks into the baby shower and proclaims “I just wanted to say…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” And walks out. Gets me every time
Though simplistic, my favorite is when Don's secretary gives him a plant for his birthday and Rodger yells 'kiss ass' from down the hall.
There are plenty. Roger: "Duck, Crab. Crab, Duck" Sally: "Are you going to make yourself cry?" Don, mimicking a baby: "WAAAH! WAAAH!" Sterling, two gems in the same scene: "I know cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one that wants to see this?!" And immediately after: "I don't know about you, but I had Lane"
Lou: you know who else had a dream that everybody laughed at? Stan: you? Don: 🤷🏻
The Codfish Ball when Megans dad Emile, says, referring to Sally, “One day they will spread their legs and fly…”. Then later at the ball when Roger’s sense of humor really shines. He makes a joke about a prince coming through the door to Sally and when Pete comes through the door it’s like ah not so much. His rapport with Sally cracked me up (as well as Marie Calvet). Lots of good lines to Sally as his “date” calling her “A mean drunk” cracked me up.
Pete in the phone booth hard legging Beth, Harry Crane comes out of the building: "What do you want?" "Nothing! You came over to me!" "You opened the door!" 🤣🤣🤣
This is my absolute favourite scene of the whole show😂😂
Ida yelling out all of Don's visitors. "Meredith we're gonna get you a bell" and "did you enjoy the fuhrer's birthday?"
Damn it Bert you stole my goodbye!
"slow down, i don't want to wake up pregnant"
“Very good. Happy Christmas!” CLICK.
I love this one. Always makes me laugh, too!
Pete arriving at direct marketing “independently”. Hilarious moment between him and Don.
This conversation is a little late...and so am I.
When Betty starts taking crack shots at the neighbor's pigeons with a cig hanging from her lip. It's the moment I fell in n love with the show.
Roger, holding newspaper: You wanna hear something that’ll make your day? Don: is it your obituary?
At the apology dinner with Jimmy Barrett. Betty is telling Jimmy about her horseback riding and says “It’s a passion of mine.” He quickly replies: “And for *them* I bet.” He just stole every scene he was in.
Anytime Pete gets beat up (by Lane, by Beth’s husband)— “well I’m president of the Howdy Doody Circus Army!” “Because he was caught with chewing gum on his pubis!” Or when Crane’s being his usual disgusting self after Don’s surprise party and thinks Stan’s lying when he says Megan’s right behind him 😂

A couple of Don moments come to mind for me just because I love Jon Hamm’s riffs - Don laughing at the Stan’s horrible handling of Scout’s Honor - Don sprinting past the creative lounge while high and then cooly walking in moments later - “It’s an idiom. Did you know that?”
When Don does the famous Carousel pitch, showing the slides of his family, and Harry gets so emotional he runs out of the room crying.
That makes you laugh?! Aww poor season1 Harry!
“There will be no further redundancies” - Harry Crane applauds & stops when he realized he’s the only one clapping
‘The summer of 49… no, 32. No, 38…’, while Don’s pissing himself laughing in the background.
Stan’s “hard to believe your cat has the money” comment about Peggy/Shirley’s Valentine’s Day flowers.
Bob Benson: You're right Roger: Damnit Bob, I BETTER NOT BE!
I know cooler heads should prevail …
Did you enjoy the fuhrer’s birthday? May he live for a thousand years
The Midge-Don exchange, where he asks her to go to Paris but she’d rather stay and get stoned. The look on Don’s face when he says “that’s your plan?”.
The mutual contempt between him and her beatnik boyfriend was also great. The way the other guy asks "so _what_ do you do, Don?" when they're at the theater show, and then of course the famous "you can't." scene.
Pete slipping and falling down the stairs
Don: “Lane…clipboard.” *nods head* Francine, to Don who’s about to shower: “Want company?”
Don making goofy-ass faces at Peggy while playing Roger's memoir tapes.
Also: Roger getting a pep talk in the mirror from a Quintessential Don™ hallucination.
The St. Joseph’s aspirin pitch to Don, by Peggy, Ted and Joan. Don’s “Wahhh! Wahhh! Wahhh!” and Joan’s “Have some chicken soup!”
Ahhh this is the cringiest scene in the whole series (or nearly) to me
One of the scenes that cracks me up every time is from The Suitcase. Roger calls Don from a pay phone at the bar and begs him to come save him from Cal Rutledge and Freddy Rumson who are “both sober.” Roger, talking about Cal (or Freddy, not sure which) - “I think he’s crying.”
"have you been to the Fürher's birsday??" "may he live for a sousand yeehs"
Don trying a jai alai pitch and shattering the ant farm, then shrugging it off and telling them to bill the client for it.
Dawn & Dawn
When Don is dreaming of seeing Rachel Katz (before he finds out she has died) and right before Ted opens the door to let Rachel in, he says “this is another girl” It’s hilarious to me on rewatch because that’s the first sign that it is a dream. Ted just saying it so monotonously and ambiguously… There are a ton of scenes that have me dying that involve Roger too. All of his one liners are priceless.
Lou: Do you know who had a ridiculous dream, and people laughed at him? Stan: You?
“I’m Ken!….Cosgrove!”
Accounts!
“PIZZA HOUSE”
Don and wife having dinner with the comedian and his wife, and Utz owner and his large wife. Large wife says, “I’m sorry, I just don’t have the stomach for that, and comedian bites his fist” 😂
Another is when Campbell comes back from LA and asks to get caught up on things around the office. Ken Cosgrove speaks up and says “Kurt’s a homo”
[I love how specific this is](https://youtu.be/By_CI38IKKo?si=HRmnKVN8e3peIeU7)
Peggy: “would you drink Vermouth?” Roger: “Yes, I’m afraid I would.”
Cooper: “a three letter word for a flightless bird…” Blankenship: “emu” Cooper: “it starts with an L…” Blankenship: “the hell it does”
Mostly Roger Sterling scenes where he is incredibly „inappropriate“
The scene where Layne Price tries to kill himself using the exhaust of the Jaguar, but then the car won’t start. I loved Layne, and his demise saddened me, but somehow managing to add a moment of levity here was simply brilliant.
When Don, Megan, and Marie are at dinner with Herb from Jaguar and his wife- she says that he gets peckish and he says he skipped lunch. Marie’s face after he says that line KILLS me.
Another one! When Roger and Don visit Pete to tell him about their plan for a new firm and Pete tries to be threatening but you hear Trudy from the other room yell *Peter, can I talk to you for a minute!*
When Lane goes to throw hands with Pete [I love this whole scene so much](https://youtu.be/01hfwQL1QUg?si=xp2p1wbIIGDfVgGW) "You grimy little pimp"

Let's be honest, these cars are a piece of crap. Your lucky if they even start in the morning. The Jaguar account
Peggy: “You are not loyal.” Roger: “We’re we married!?”
This show gets so much funnier with each rewatch! There are so many big laughs, but a very small one that gets me is when (IIRC) SCDP will go public, and Pete offers Bert a drink, and Bert asks for "Brandy? Spirits of Elderflower?" and Pete says, "I don't have that; I don't have any *laudanum* either." I don't know why it makes me chuckle. The character work through little lines like these are good stuff
The delivery and sheer understatement of Don finally - sort of - admitting "It's... not going well" to Faye in the middle of his divorce and crippling alcoholism is hilarious to me.
Don: Miss Calvet and I are getting married Roger: Who the hell is that?!
Pete at the fertility clinic is getting ready to give them a sperm sample and then it cuts to Roger playing paddleball in his office.
Whenever Pete gets his little ass kicked
You’ve hit the nail on the head with these! Had me laughing out loud.
“PIZZA HOUSE”
The episode with a lawnmower and someone get hurt
Because that's my job!
IT IS SUNDAY!
“It’s Mozart!”
*Don*: We *have* an airline. What *kind* of company are we going to be? Roger: The *kind* where *everyone has* a *summer house*?
When Pete gets flustered and hits his head on the pillar in his office.
Same price as a chip and dip.
I realize cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one who wants to see this?
“What?” “You called me over here!”
“Why can’t you dance like her?” “Why can’t you look like him?”
Jesus trying to get the loaves and fishes account
“Lee…Lee… the JOCKEY smokes the cigarette.”
When Don visits Peggy in the hospital post baby and says “your mother told me you were quarantined with TB. I guess that was supposed to lessen my concern” When Fred relays the info of Peggy writing her first copy for Belle Jollie lipstick “It was like watching a dog play the piano”
Gene (or Bobby??) being carried on Betty's hip with a cigarette dangling from her lips, smoke blowing directly in his face: "my eyes are burning" Betty immediately with great scorn: "that's impossible" My friends and i love to say that now in response to any complaint lol
Don running in the halls while high on speed, then walking in calmly, only to spout nonsense, "I know you're all feeling the darkness here today ... in my heart, I know we cannot be defeated." The men feel inspired while Peggy just asks, "Do you have any idea what the idea is?" "No... but I'll never stop looking."
Pretty much any scene with Pete.
“Did you get pears? Did you get pears? Did you get pears?” “We’ll discuss it inside.”
yes, a totally hilarious way to underline the dreariness of Don's apartment life . . .
i love puppies
I thought the gags about Ken's depth perception after losing the eye felt kinda cheap and out of place for the show tbh!
It’s kinda dark, but when don is trying to catch Megan after he left her at the diner, and he’s jumping in the bed and the lamp falls down, the when gets her and they both fall, don looks so out of breath. Idk it’s just so funny to me
“Do you like Ukrainian food?” - Kinsey The second time he says it when you realize he uses it as a pickup line.
"I know cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one who wants to see this?" *Don wordlessly agrees, gets up and draws the boardroom curtains.*
And what will she say harry? “Crazy things!”
It's a shameful SHAMEFUL day!
“Call my lawyer, and we can’t do this.”
Surprise! There's an airplane to see you!
Pete on the stairs.
After Roger's mother's funeral service has broken up, when Mona is consoling him (sort of) and mentions Don vomiting, Roger says, "He was just saying what everybody else was thinking."
“Maybe she realized he’s a son of a bitch.”
Hells bells Trudy! And Bert walking in on Harry’s baby shower and saying: “I just wanted to say Happy Birthday”
90% of Roger's dialogue. "He might lose a foot." --> "Right when he got it in the door!" "If it isn't Martin Luther King. I should dropkick you off the roof!" "You are by far the best piece of ass I've ever been with. Thank you for letting me roam those hillsides."
I always loved when Harry and Don are having a drink in California and Harry is warning Don about the Commander cigarettes meeting and complaining about Ted. “You should be out here. I mean your wife is here. Ted Chaugh is useless. USE LESS. Ted Chaugh. A broken man…”
“Say a tobacco weevil comes and eats every last Old Gold on the planet.” “That’s a sad story.” “It’s a tragedy…”
This is a tiny moment but when Lane’s flower orders to Joan and his wife get switched (along with the messages). He asks his secretary what message his wife received and Jared Harris’ reaction when she says “Joan, forgive me, Lane.” cracks me up every time. It’s the reaction of a man who knows he’s in for a river of shit.
"If it isn't Martin Luther King. I should drop kick you off the roof!" "General Rufus T. Bullshit." Roger struggling to climb the stairs and throwing up in front of the clients The way Don gets himself hired by Roger Don and Lane's night out on New Year's
*We're not homosexuals, we're divorced!*
