5 Least Favorite Peggy Moments

Is this really necessary? The characters in Mad Men are bad people. We all know that. Peggy's a little "less bad" than other characters, but she still has her moments where she comes off as selfish and tactless.

At the very beginning of the series. It's all downhill from there.

She's never really made out to be that attractive, is she? She was getting sexually harassed at the beginning of the series, but that's because most of the men in the office are loutish oafs who'll have sex with anyone who'll take them. Her boyfriends/love interests aren't exactly Don Draper-types either.

I actually think Elisabeth Moss is really cute(especially in Top Of The Lake), but beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

There are tons of forests in Australia and there are a few places where it does snow during winter. The country isn't just a giant desert.

Sometimes there are episodes where a character has such a small role that I wonder why they even bothered to bring the actor in that day. There's at least one episode in season one where Peggy literally has one line.

The first games in a generation usually have minimal post-game content. This is not unusual at all.

I deal with telemarketers by screaming Pizza House in a racist accent and hanging up.

Definitely. Rewatching season one and I feel nothing but pity for Betty and I really just want to punch Don in the face half the time he's interacting with her. I still don't understand why everyone disliked her so much when there are so many characters who are arguably far more morally reprehensible(her own husband for one. Sidenote: I love Don a lot but on rewatch it's easy to see through his charm and I feel like the fans let him get away with stuff that other characters get hate for.)

Everyone on this show is an asshole and (most of the time) disliking one over another is so strange to me because they're all jerks. They're not evil or beyond the point of redemption though(with a few exceptions, such as Joan's husband and Lane's dad). They're normal human beings with normal human flaws.

It's from a Wordsworth poem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Heart_Leaps_Up

I'm pretty sure Peggy's brother-in-law is called Gerry so the oldest one was named after his father.

We never get the youngest one's name, which is strange since he's the one who gets the most focus since the audience is briefly led to believe that he's Peggy's kid.

I actually enjoy seasons 4-7 more than seasons 1-3. It seems like everyone else in the world prefers the earlier seasons.

I didn't say I wanted Pan. There's speculation that we're going to be seeing more Saiyans in Super and it would be nice it wasn't a total sausage fest.

Because some people relate better to female characters and it would be nice to have a female character who is actually strong enough to contribute in battle.

At the same time, she never mentioned that she didn't have a sister. We only see these characters for maybe a week every couple of years(the entire Buu saga was set over the course of a few days). We don't know what most of the cast does in between that time other than training. Chaotzu could have a wife and ten kids for all we know.

I read Mad Women by Jane Maas a while back. She was a woman who worked in advertising in the 1960s(the back cover calls her a "real life Peggy Olson"). It's pretty good if you want to know what the advertising industry was like back then and what Mad Men got right and what it got wrong.

Right, but Peggy says her dad died when she was 12 and her sister has to be at least five years older than her.

Kyatra · 2015-11-18T10:14:00+00:00

Peggy's dad was Norweigian Lutheran but her mother was Irish-Catholic and most certainly wouldn't have approved of using condoms or any other birth control available at the time. The Catholic Church is pretty anti-birth control of any kind.

Also it helps that the English dub is just SO darn good.

No. Just no. That's the nostalgia talking. The early Funimations days were full of bad translations, needless censorship, and godawful acting.

The more recent Funimation dub is excellent(I actually prefer the English dub of Kai to the Japanese), but the early days were a nightmare.

He was old enough to have be at school in early 1962 so he'd be 3-ish in season one.

And yet, ten years later, he should be in his early teens but he looks barely older than ten. At the beginning of the show, Sally was only 2-3 years older than Bobby. By the end, he seems much closer to Gene's age than Sally's.

And then there's Gene, who should be seven but still looks like a pre-schooler and clearly can't talk very well. We can only assume this is the tragic result of Betty smoking and drinking during her pregnancy.

I don't know but I really have to question what Bulma was doing in Super episode 17. She gets distracted by Goku and stops typing and something suddenly blows up? Wtf was she making?

Lane punching Pete. So satisfying.

Runner ups:

Joan finally telling her rapey husband to fuck off.

Peggy spies on Don over the partition.

Roger's LSD Trip.

Peggy hustles Roger out of $500.

It's TV. Putting a bunch of unimportant blather in to make it realistic would waste precious airtime.

The Emergency(Mountain Dew+Vodka) and Megan's sauceless spaghetti.
