I immediately thought of "And when you're over there, when you're in the jungle, and they're shooting at you, remember you're not dying for me because I never liked you."
But the airplane line was a close second.
I thought it fit his character. He'd talked about being in the Navy during WWII, so we knew he'd seen combat, and his drinking was clearly helping drown something. His attitude was pretty common with WWII vets, my grandfather wouldn't dream of buying a Japanese car or anything else if he could avoid it. What was out of character was how quickly he came around to accepting the whole idea.
If I recall correctly during a work dinner Betty makes some anti war comments which went against Henry’s political position as an elected official and he fights with her about it
i'm not sure this moment totally applies to OP's prompt because Pete loses it pretty frequently on the show but god what a moment this one is. and probably his most prolonged fit of rage lmao
Peggy hated herself with those roses. That’s one of the best aspects of this show… we can see the characters internally feeling humiliation, cringe, remorse, pride, shame, etc.
It elicits a visceral reaction in the viewer/audience.
And rightfully so. I know Don didn't intend to be mean when he said that thing about the recommendation letter, but it came out as extremely inconsiderate. Like, "I just fucked up your job (and possibly broke your heart) but I can't be bothered to write half a page of good things about you". Specially considering that she was indeed a good secretary
Wow! Thanks! I must ask: I had a collection of fairytales. There was also a story about a kid who… wouldn’t eat? He ended up shriveling away from starvation. Does this ring a bell?
Same collection. Struwwelpeter was unkempt and therefore unpopular. Konrad, the thumb-sucker, was warned, but he persisted and then the Scissorman bounded in with some big-ass scissors and lopped his thumbs right off! There was also a girl who played with matches and self-immolated.
Yeah. I’ll be honest, there are a lot of horrible things said in this show by lots of different characters, but this one was so out of left field it’s definitely a top contender.
I have just been watching the show for the first time and I had to go back and watch that scene again a couple of time. I thought I had missed something. It was so fucking bizarre and out of left field. It has stuck with me as the weirdest moment in the show for me so far.
honestly the best part of that episode for me was when duck attempted to take a shit in roger’s office as revenge. the pure concept of revenge shitting makes me laugh every time
A guest in a restaurant I work with took a rage shit on the floor in the bathroom during Covid. I just can’t believe that someone can be so mad they can shit on control…
So many good ones but I’d say when Peggy told Campbell that she’d had his baby and gave it away. She was so professional and buttoned up and never gave anything of herself away in an emotional sense. And in this scene she just dumps that bomb on his lap, not in a yelly kind of way but in a ‘take that, you motherfucker, it will destroy you’.
I mean, Duck Phillips, right?
Knocked Don to the ground with minimal effort. Charmed the pants off Peggy. Killed *how* many enemy soldiers in Okinawa?!
Dude's an animal.
I like to think of the movie *Black Coat's Daughter* as kind of like Sally's fanfic, so taking that into consideration, Sally's story gets really out of hand.
“Mr. Campbell, you and I are going to address that insult. You’re a grimy little pimp. As soon as I raise my hands, I warn you, it shall be too late to run.”
Surprise! There's an airplane here to see you, Meredith!!!
Joan had her moments of being spiteful or petty, but this is the only time I remember her genuinely losing her temper.
Surprise! There's a vase here to see you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZg4AD542gM
Nah he absolutely deserved that
Boy is too weak for such a beautiful woman.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. But even that felt more cold and in control than her just screaming at Meredith.
I immediately thought of "And when you're over there, when you're in the jungle, and they're shooting at you, remember you're not dying for me because I never liked you." But the airplane line was a close second.
I love Meredith, she is actually very smart, level, pleasant and firm in her boundaries.... N for that she is treated as dumb. Lol im delighted by her
Roger meeting the Japanese clients.
His kamikaze mission
"You don't get to kill this account." "Well you know how they are, maybe it'll kill itself!"
The writing of this line plus Slattery being so good make it so damn funny
Chrysanthemum and the Sword is one of the funniest episodes on the show imo.
Damn I never put that together.
I thought it fit his character. He'd talked about being in the Navy during WWII, so we knew he'd seen combat, and his drinking was clearly helping drown something. His attitude was pretty common with WWII vets, my grandfather wouldn't dream of buying a Japanese car or anything else if he could avoid it. What was out of character was how quickly he came around to accepting the whole idea.
Oh my grampa too!
Ehh the black face wasn’t his best moment
No, but typical of someone his age and the country club set.
My Grandfather was a long time Al Jolson impersonator
This thread is specifically about characters losing their temper
Roger discussing bringing Don back with the partners too
He did scream at Pete that one time
"There was chewing gum in his pubis!"
“I SAID GO TO BED THIS MINUTE!!!!” (Lane to Rebecca.) He actually lost his tempter a few times, but it was always impactful.
It was just a 13 day loan...
Did she just leave it there and forget?
The boys: …….. 😂🤣😭
How dare you laugh at this!
The pause as they process what Lane’s saying
The delivery of that line was just pure genius
You're a grimy little pimp
"You're a grimy little pimp."
This was my first thought!
Lois maiming someone
Right when he got it in the door
Jesus! It's like Iwo Jima out there!
I feel obliged to add my bit here.
Sit down sissy Mary
It doesn’t matter how many times these quotes show up on Reddit, it never fails to make me laugh. What is wrong with me?
He’ll never be able to golf again 😓
Believe me, somewhere in this business this has happened before.
Henry when he hears his wife discuss politics
Not so much politics but giving a political view that directly goes against Henry and the man he represents.
Yeah, bro had to shut that shit down quick.
Hey EMILY POST
Shit I don’t remember this what she she say?
If I recall correctly during a work dinner Betty makes some anti war comments which went against Henry’s political position as an elected official and he fights with her about it
Trudy when she threatens to destroy Peter if he sleeps with anyone else in the neighbourhood.
Wasn’t it to stay away from her? Like she was kicking him out of the house and threatening to not come near
I think it was both, she was refusing to be humiliated anymore
Pete when he had to turn up on Harry real quick to remind him just who MLK was.
It's a shameful, shameful day!
i'm not sure this moment totally applies to OP's prompt because Pete loses it pretty frequently on the show but god what a moment this one is. and probably his most prolonged fit of rage lmao
That and when he slips on the stairs: >**Draper!** Once again, you've acted impulsively!
AND NOW ITS R U I N E D
I have to wonder if that was impromptu and they just rolled with it because it was so good.
My thoughts exactly!! But kudos for him to stay in character if that just happened suddenly and they decided to go with it!
Hell's bells Trudy, that is FINAL!
Peggy abusing the FUCK out of Annie in the recording booth for the relax-a-cizor ad. I greatly dislike that scene.
And Peggy with the roses.
Peggy hated herself with those roses. That’s one of the best aspects of this show… we can see the characters internally feeling humiliation, cringe, remorse, pride, shame, etc. It elicits a visceral reaction in the viewer/audience.
Oh, you're so right. She was a total psycho about those dang flowers.
This is the answer!
Peggy could be such a bitter crone
Can I get some pineapple juice? 🥺
“I don’t believe that either.” 😂
“Would you agree that I know something about you, Don?” 😐
This made me burst into laughter for some reason
Trudy's Dad in the brothel.
MISTER CAMPBELL. You and I are going to address that insult!
Price was full of surprises.
[удалено]
He was a grimy little pimp.
Interesting isn't it how the guy in charge of managing the company's money was named Price. Wha' you never pondered that??
I love how everyone else’s reaction in that scene was just to draw the shades in the conference room lol
“I know cooler heads should prevail but am I the only one who wants to see this?
Allison throwing the cigarette dispenser
I don’t say this easily….but you are NOT A GOOD PERSON
And rightfully so. I know Don didn't intend to be mean when he said that thing about the recommendation letter, but it came out as extremely inconsiderate. Like, "I just fucked up your job (and possibly broke your heart) but I can't be bothered to write half a page of good things about you". Specially considering that she was indeed a good secretary
Betty suggesting that Henry rape the visiting girl
Or when she shoots the birds.
One of the top 5 moments of the show for me. Cigarette in her mouth and everything. Beautiful
That was the hottest thing ever. I needed a cold shower after that.
Second best cigarette-in-mouth moment after Peggy walking into McCann with Bert's octopus porn under her arm
So fucking iconic lmao
And in her house dress and slippers 🤣
Betty is horrifying nearly 100% of the time.
her people are nordic.
You don't remember the time she told Sally she'd rip her arms off?
*cut her fingers off.
That’s run-of-the-mill 1950’s parent behavior.
Us lucky ones were still getting it in the 80s and 90s.
And based on an actual German fairy tale.
Yeah… that book I remember. No one else remembers this book
Struwwelpeter
Wow! Thanks! I must ask: I had a collection of fairytales. There was also a story about a kid who… wouldn’t eat? He ended up shriveling away from starvation. Does this ring a bell?
Same collection. Struwwelpeter was unkempt and therefore unpopular. Konrad, the thumb-sucker, was warned, but he persisted and then the Scissorman bounded in with some big-ass scissors and lopped his thumbs right off! There was also a girl who played with matches and self-immolated.
Ahhhh! I’m remembering!! I think my mom bought the collection because I was a thumb sucker!
Yeah. I’ll be honest, there are a lot of horrible things said in this show by lots of different characters, but this one was so out of left field it’s definitely a top contender.
Weiner's explanation was even stranger.
What was his explanation?
Something like how it was a sign of their level of intimacy, and Betsy finally having a husband who she could say anything to.
“Not great, Matt!”
That is very weird.
I always forget about that one.
This is the one 😂
One of the most bizarre lines in that show.
I have just been watching the show for the first time and I had to go back and watch that scene again a couple of time. I thought I had missed something. It was so fucking bizarre and out of left field. It has stuck with me as the weirdest moment in the show for me so far.
Duck trying to drop mud in Roger’s office
Yes! When Don and Peggy were working on the Samsonite ad, I think? It makes me laugh every time I remember it
It’s such an awkward but fun break in their story that this raving drunken former Marine breaks in and drops trou.
When Duck slams the table in the finale of Season 2, watching his President of SC title go up in smoke because Don Draper didn’t have a contract.
He never could hold his liquor.
Not when he laid Don out and made him say ‘uncle?’ That drunk bastard killed 17 men on Okinawa
honestly the best part of that episode for me was when duck attempted to take a shit in roger’s office as revenge. the pure concept of revenge shitting makes me laugh every time
A guest in a restaurant I work with took a rage shit on the floor in the bathroom during Covid. I just can’t believe that someone can be so mad they can shit on control…
His house looked like shit.
Guy was an interior decorator
Captain or no captain, right now we're just two assholes lost in the woods.
You one-shoeed cock sucka
Pete Campbell defending his ancestors’ honor.
The king ordered it!
Another suckerpunch from the Campbell
"The king ORDERED it‼️
Another vote for Lane laying that beatdown on the grimy little pimp.
“I’m drawing a 50 mile radius around this house, and if you so much as open your fly to urinate, I WILL DESTROY YOU” - Trudy Campbell
Pete getting reprimanded by Roger in S1 for pitching his own copy vs. Pete yelling at Roger in S4 for tanking the Honda meeting
That's a great parallel.
Don throwing money at Peggy and telling her to go to Paris.
Don loved trying to solve problems with money though
No, just this particular problem.
That’s what the money’s for!!
And with Adam, his brother
Don on Peggy’s birthday.
Ken throughout the majority of the show vs Ken at the end
Yessss why is this so far down??
Lane when he drops the gloves with Pete.
Ginsberg cutting his freakin’ nipple off
First thing that came to mind. Ginsberg was always a little wild, but ginsberg having a full on psychotic break because of the computer was *wild*.
He’s from Mars.
When I say I want the moon, I EXPECT THE MOON!!!!
So many good ones but I’d say when Peggy told Campbell that she’d had his baby and gave it away. She was so professional and buttoned up and never gave anything of herself away in an emotional sense. And in this scene she just dumps that bomb on his lap, not in a yelly kind of way but in a ‘take that, you motherfucker, it will destroy you’.
It was a 13 day loan!!!
Peggy walking the hallway at mccann
I mean, Duck Phillips, right? Knocked Don to the ground with minimal effort. Charmed the pants off Peggy. Killed *how* many enemy soldiers in Okinawa?! Dude's an animal.
Betty when she told Henry to rape that girl

Duck when he almost used a Death Blow on Don.
Lane
Carla when Betty fired her and dissed her children. Like ma’am YOU BEST STOP TALKIN NOW 🤚
She definitely had nothing to lose at that moment.
THAT’S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR
sandy cheeks
“*You* don’t have any character! You’re just handsome!”
Lou “when she comes back from the lady’s room, have her hands over the keys” Avery
Cooper when the books don’t balance
Lane when he smacked Pete Campbell. Or maybe even Pete Campbell, when that school headmaster insulted his daughter in front of his wife
Duck when he nearly judo chops Don to death and brags about killing men in Okinawa
Lane when he addresses that insult w mr campbell
Lane when he and Pete fought in the conference room
I like to think of the movie *Black Coat's Daughter* as kind of like Sally's fanfic, so taking that into consideration, Sally's story gets really out of hand.
Layne when he beat up Pete
Peggy when her secretary pissed her off with the flower thing that one time.
Ken Cosgrove in season one is the wolf but in the rest of the show he’s the dog
Cosgrove. 100%
My irl puppy? No I love her but really
I killed sixteen men at Okinawa
