be counting down our picks for the top
10 Mad Men scenes that’s my

scenes from a character development and
plot perspective if there’s a scene or a
moment you didn’t see on the list be

insane Mad Men scenes I’m Peggy Olson I
want to smoke some marijuana warning
some of these moments may reveal key
plot points so major spoiler alert
number ten Roger Sterling has a heart
attack while dawn may take the gold when
it comes to womanizing Roger Sterling is
certainly a close second you have such
beautiful skin I just want to eat it
unfortunately as he continues to grow
older these Affairs seem to take more of
a toll on his body as evident in this
classic scene from the first season okay
right there here Roger suffers a heart
attack during a midnight romp with a
model named Mirabelle
it also contains an epic slap from dawn
who reminds Roger that his wife’s name
is Mona as he’s wheeled out of Sterling
Cooper your wife’s name is Mona number
nine duck Phillips versus Don Draper
what more do you need to know
Herman Phillips wasn’t the first man to
try and bully Don Draper and he
definitely wasn’t the last but he
learned the hard way what happens when
you try to mess with the dawn Don shows
up you’ll fall in line you’ll have to
find another profession that’s why God
put non-compete clauses and contracts
while attempting to merge Sterling
Cooper with Putman Powell & Lowe duck
attempts to convince Roger Sterling Bert
Cooper and Don to adapt to a new way of
advertising when Don declines duck gives
him an ultimatum Don you can either
honor your contract or walk out that
door with nothing and start selling
insurance it’s done who gets the last
laugh however I don’t have a contract
game
set em gentlemen I sell products not
advertising I can’t see as far into the
future as duck but if the world is still
here on Monday we can talk number eight
Don and Ted merged their companies damn
it one of the best features of Don
Draper is that he knows how to get out
of a pinch which is on full display in
this seat I know it was good but I
didn’t know all I had to do was show up
while attempting to secure Chevrolet for
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Don runs
into Ted at the hotel bar a partner at
the rival firm Cutler Gleason and
chaough
Ted realizes that Chevrolet is only
using their two firms for their ideas
and plans on signing with a larger firm
think about it when it’s to top 10
agencies in me I’ve got a chance now
that there’s two little guys weird do a
this inspires Don to simultaneously
merge the two firms in order to win
Chevrolet’s business well one of us
probably me let’s figure out a way to
make sure every think it was their idea
to combine our agencies which they are
able to successfully do we merged
furniture fixtures everything I’m sorry
I don’t understand number seven
Peggy quits Peggy lion
it seems this moment had been building
throughout the entire season you really
have no idea when things are good to you
frustrated from being excluded from the
Jaguar pitch on top of many other things
he finally decides enough is enough I’m
giving the customary two weeks my last
day will be the third she interviews
with Cutler Gleason and chaough who
offer her the role of copy chief with a
high salary it’s time for me to move on
the episode concludes with this
emotional scene when Peggy tells Don
that she is moving on I’m serious Don
tries to convince Peggy to stay by
offering her more money but she tells
him it isn’t about how much she gets
paid let’s pretend I’m not responsible
for every single good thing that’s ever
happened to you and you tell me the
number or make one up
and I’ll beat it there’s no number
number six
Hershey’s childhood pitch name it
chocolate
what like Hershey’s as dogs professional
and personal life come crashing down he
is required to make a pitch to the
executives from Hershey chocolate to win
their account I love her shoes at first
it seems like classic dawn he tells a
heartfelt albeit fabricated tale about
his father’s love being tied together
with the Hershey chocolate bar during
his childhood mine was my father taking
me to the drugstore after I’d mowed the
lawn and telling me I could have
anything I wanted anything at all
this time however Don can’t keep it
together and finally breaks I was an
orphan I grew up in Pennsylvania in a
whorehouse and his real memory of her
she comes from his dealings with one of
the prostitutes closest I got the
feeling wanted was from a girl who made
me go through her John’s pockets while
they screwed I collected more than a
dollar she’d buy me a Hershey bar number
five constructive dismissal Elaine
please shut the door and have a seat
Sterling Cooper is nearly history and
it’s up to lane Pryce to keep everything
together and a stunning Cooper is being
so PPO well will remain ppl just when
things look the worst Don suggests that
lane fire everyone allowing them to
create their own advertising agency well
gentlemen I suppose you’re fired
holed up in a hotel room the partners
decide which members of the staff they
need and then are promptly fired by late
ironically as a way to keep their jobs
well it’s official
Friday December 13th 1963 poor guys shot
their own legs off number 4 Jones
decision you’re unbelievable
I’m married the second moment from this
pivotal episode to make our list this
scene showed us just how far Joan was
willing to go to be seen as an equal of
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce you’re
talking about prostitution I’m talking
about business at a very high level herb
rennet a member of Jaguars selection
committee suggests that SCDP
would be able to sign Jaguar if he was
allowed to have an evening with Joan oh
I’m saying is if it happens it would
make me happy if it doesn’t well Oh
guarantees in life right she’s offered
$50,000 from the partners and a 5%
partnership stake in the company which
one is he he’s not bad
he’s doing this Don shows up at her door
to persuade her from sleeping with herb
to win the account but we discovered
that he is too late and she’s already
done it I wanted to tell you this is not
worth it and if we don’t get you a guar
so what who wants to be in business with
people like that number three why I’m
quitting tobacco with s CDP’s
future-looking foggy at best
Don decides he needs to do something
drastic to get a quit smoking so he
takes inspiration from a painting he
bought from his ex-lover and now broke
heroin addict midge and writes an
article titled why I’m quitting tobacco
the product that never improves causes
illness and makes people unhappy while
this enrages the other partners the ad
written in letter form wincing the
affection of Megan and also of the
American Cancer Society they want us to
come in and meet about an anti-smoking
campaign giving them at least a little
business and enough money to prevent the
agency from folding took me about five
minutes stop laughing I hope I didn’t
blow it number two
unhappy birthday hello you remembered my
birthday some of the best scenes in Mad
Men have been between Don and Peggy and
this one takes the cake so now I’m
supposed to feel like crap oh I’m so
sick that I ruined her birthday the pair
is pulling an all-nighter to work on the
Samsonite campaign as everyone else

number one the carousel pitch nostalgia
it’s delicate but potent at the end of
season 1 we know that Don Draper is a
great ad man as is evidenced by his
Lucky Strike proposal in the first
episode advertising is based on one
thing happiness he takes things to a
whole other level with the carousel
pitch in the season finale however let’s
just travel the way child Travis he uses
personal family photos to pitch the
carousel slide project tugging at the
heartstrings of Kodak’s executives with
poignant lines like it’s not called the
wheel
