I watched this entire show shortly after having my first child, a daughter. She was sick one day, maybe she was 4 months old or so. She couldnt make it into daycare feeling lke that (my wife and i both work full time), so i took off and stayed home with her. Not something a new dad with a job looks forward too.
I guess inside every father, husband, is a Don Draper. We second guess our marriage, or committment to our children, our work, our families - the true things that matter - while exalting ones that dont - hanging at a bar, getting out with your friends, whether or not you could still land a hot woman.
I had my daughter on my lap in the recliner - a rare moment she didnt need, or want something, and we were just hanging out, me watching tv, her sucking on a pacifier or playing with a toy or something.
Sure enough S1 E13. Man i sobbed and promised I would always love my daughter and care for my wife. Something Don could never quite get his hands around. Incredible scene.
As a side note, the way the music resolves itself from 2:51 with a falling action, and then hits you with that last line.....is almost godly when in conjunction with this scene. That is the part that always gets me.
Dio Santana stikjj
Very well put. I grew up in that era, and they nail it every time.
Dio Santana Maybe you'd have real nostalgia if you didn't send your infant to day care?
Youre lying
@@EyeDriveATruck in Canada, people can take 1.5 year off. Recently it was 1 year. But still, crazy that a 4 month old gets separated to go to daycare.
And what made this scene even more powerful was the ending to this episode. Don heads home on the train, imagining catching his wife and children before they leave, being the father & husband he saw in the pictures he selected for the pitch. But when he gets home, stark reality sets in. his home life mirrors his job: an imagined reality.....Killer fucking writing
Killer fucking comment. 👍🏻
@@mehmetsar5287 killed fucking reply 👍
True plus during the pitch he feels the pain and does the whole job as a kind of weak therapy! This scene is too good 🤗
cringiest comment ive ever read on youtube
@@ppstorm_killed the fucking vibe
The first time I saw this scene, I was completely, utterly sold on this as one of the greatest series of all time.
Otter InBham We're still learning from this scene.
the audio of the carousel clicking punctuating his speech so perfectly hammers your point home. flawless storytelling, acting, and editing.
One of the very best, most pertinent scenes of Mad Men!
The only scene i liked Duck in.
"Good luck at your meeting".
I liked the scene where he was super drunk at the awards ceremony
duck gave me aids
Having Harry leave--guilty and tearful over his adultery with Hildy--was brilliant here.
Wow - true - never realized that.
MervynCruddy nah he had to take a shit
@@stagm3 it was probably a solid Hulk turd, which is why he was crying from pain. Or a bowlwinder.
@@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam i agree
While Don put himself through the same emotions with a stone face, because that's how he deals with it.
this scene beautifully encapsulate the essence of this show : the use of false facade to facilitate one's work. this may be the greatest 3 minutes in tv history. it gets me evertime....
For me it's one of the earliest examples of the greatest theme of Mad Men about the essence of advertising, and indeed the human soul under consumer capitalism. Characters like Don, Roger, Peggy etc. are real people who have powerful personal journeys and seas of emotions and occasional moments of sublime realisation, and then when their head clears and they wake up again from their dream like daze, their actual true achievement and victory is to package and sell those moments.
It is definitely not the greatest 3 minutes in tv history. Get a grip man.
@@HansenDing dude that is basially what any creative eendeavor is, definitely advertising
@@joshuajethro It was the 3 minutes that launched one of the most important, transformative shows in television.
It may not be top of your list, but it's understandable that it might be at the top for some.
This device isn't a spaceship....it's a time machine. Goosebumps.
That was the best line of it, which is saying something.
okay simp
@@ivaerak in what way is this comment showing excessive sympathy or attention toward another person who does not reciprocate? You’re unintelligent.
@@eddielopez2373 jesus christ
Damn Don was awesome when he had his head straight, this was Draper at his finest finest and this scene is what made me continue to watch the show.
Peter E His head was never straight until the last episode of the series, after he'd atoned for his wastefulness. This isn't a victory for Don, it's a lie built on rose-tinted fragments of his failure as a husband and father. The camera always lies.
@@markofsaltburn Nobody's perfect... ever
@@hahdhsjsjrkfn but mark lawton is right. Don Drapers success in advertising is based on the fact that he's capable of drawing from his own emptiness to create something equally empty: advertisement promises. spinning prose and poetry about some frivolous thing to sell to people. he thinks he understands people but all he understands is how to manipulate people. that's really all advertising is. manipulating people.
The impeccable writing and performance by Hamm gets much deserved praise, but take a moment to appreciate how believable the actual photographs are. A LOT of work went into this scene.
They're AI generated
Don at his absolute peak.
Nah his cereal pitch was better
nope

"good luck at your next meeting"
I grew up in the 60s, we had boxes of slides for the Carousel and a screen that my father would put up, trips, holidays, birthdays...just like this episode. The detail in this scene of the click...click...click of the remote is just perfect...brings it all back
Been in sales my whole life and Draper is a friggen master.

@@feelslikehollywood2630 dick
How does it feel to fuck over people?
@@heumpirej what's it like being an a$$hole
Oh lord. Some losers posting above me. Capitalism requires a buyer and a seller. Remember that.
This scene was about as subtle as an anvil landing on your head. But still powerful and emotional and wonderful.
"Good luck at your next meeting" lol That line was delivered perfectly also.
This is the best scene in Mad men. I think so
Of course this hits the mark for me as a dad. But the bigger aspect of time travel for me is that my father had one of these and as an avid photographer, got all his photos put into slides. This is how we saw our vacation or family reunion or a party. Hearing that click for each slide and remembering the images brings back a flood of memories and makes me miss my dad.
I cried the 1st time i saw this, one of the best moments of the show!
No you didn't
one of the best moments of TV, of all time.
Alright, chill out Harry.
You can see it in Dons eyes
Pussy
I've watched this at least a dozen times and that line "it's a time machine" never fails to give me chills. Amazing scene from an amazing show.
Your comment is a time machine
I think I stole "this isn't ... , it's a time machine" line without even knowing and have been using it as a compliment for different occasions.
Last time was in Prague when I visited Joystick bar that had all the coolest arcades I used to play when I was a kid. Told the guy at the bar "This isn't a bar, it's a time machine". He was so touched by this.
One of the most impesive thing in this, that the photos are so GOD DAMN REAL!! They are all look like moments of a real family. They all have a different realty in them. They all look like they are belong to different times. I can see the happines, i can see the joy, i can see the family in them it is phenomenal!
This is so hauntingly beautiful
The entire reason I watched this show was to see the pitches and the personality of Don Draper. It's impressive that the writers could come up with such a great pitch.
Don: don’t use Latin Peggy you sound like a valedictorian
Also Don: in Greek nostalgia means the pain of an old wound
When Peggy says it she does sound like a student trying to sounds cultured. Don's just using it in passing as part of a story. It's more about context
Well he didn’t use Latin so
@@2012jaysean Exactly. Greek is not a dead, novelty language.
@@kennethlatham3133 . . . That is either you being dense, or the most masterful Ironic Sarcasm.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 Well, I guess you'll never know, will you?
Like any great artist, Don pours his pain through the unique prism of his art. Like a writer and his or her book, or Bob Dylan on "Blood on the Tracks" - Don expresses the pain of his failed marriage through his work. This is a masterful scene. The kind of scene that makes me happy I am human so I can experience it.
Yeah, But, Dons marriage was doomed before it was. The whining daddy issue women he had married, and his second marriage to a tramp who played him. knew how to needle her way through his life. Plus her teeth was jacked UP.
thats true to all creative endeavors, and i love it
This is really one of the greatest and best written scenes ever on TV
agreed
this was the scene where I became a fan for life.
well said maam
For the cereal?
Never have I encountered a piece of television that set out as ambitiously to achieve what Mad Men wanted to capture, as subtly yet sophisticatedly as it did. It really is the Great American Novel in TV form.
I missed this the first time I watched it! Don says at my first job at a fur company, a greek copy righter teddy taught me. Lol! He was a sales guy!! He wasn't in-house!!!! Don makes up stories to sell his dominance
Nostalgia is one of the most powerful human emotions.
To a place we know we are loved.....!!!
It's been a long time since I watched Mad Men, but this is the scene I remember.
Its so good when the clients slowly turn around to look at Draper, right before Duck says good luck at you're next meeting. The way they turn and look at him like he's some sort of sales god is hilarious
Like they depressed them.more so.
The best presentation I have ever seen
The master in action
+peter455sd For Sure!
I watched Mad Men full movie here twitter.com/6b17e7860347ed879/status/824453409201729536
I haven't kept up with Mad Men and the accolades it has received, but this show truly deserves all of them. When I first saw this I cried harder than Harry. It is insane how provocative and emotionally grasping this scene is.
I keep reminding myself that the actor -Jon Hamm- is masterfully interpreting beautiful, almost poetic lines written by superbly talented writers. Working together, the actor and the writer give us great television for our enjoyment and our own nostalgia. Thank you, Mad Men!
The timing of this in the show in brilliant, it comes at a low point of Don and him reflecting on what he has is outstanding. This is the most powerful clip in any show I have ever watched, gives me goosebumps every time.
Like many out there I Ached when this show ended it's run on TV. And yes there are hundreds of moments from this series that I often am reminded of during my own daily life.....but.....I ALWAYS jump on The Carousel of Technology and come back here to see this brief yet nostalgic moment that leaves me feeling Full! Thank you G7 STUDIOS for sharing this Treasure.....Cheers From Ohio
I was at an incredibly low point in my life when i started watching this show on netflix. Pretty much every night getting drunk on rum watching a couple episodes and ended up crying most of them. Shame they took it down from Netflix i would watch it again in a heartbeat
Get it on pirate bay.
I think Prime has it
Join us on the high seas, we have everything. Yarr!
hope you’re doing better!
Same, but with heroin. Oops.
it's all in the writing first. it's magic.
One of the best scenes in tv history! i just love this show ! so happy i started watching it
One of the GREAT Mad Men scenes!!! It says so much... thats is just brilliant script writing & what a delivery by John Hamm
Seen this dozens of times. Still gets me in the end.
Madmen knew how to pull at the heart strings. This scene was so powerful, I still cry to this day when I watch it again. The music is perfect, the sentiment is perfect and the pitch is perfect...
As you watch the rest of the series, you get a deeper sense of the tragedy of this scene. Although he has considerable talent at knowing people's wants and desires, Don's never felt comfortable being close, understood, or truly loved. He wants the life he portrays on the slides, and it's so close, right there in those photos. But he just doesn't have it.
I really thought this was where Don would take his marriage more seriously. He seemed so moved by the memories all these photos brought back for him.
I remember feeling this way as well. After watching the rest of the show, I think my overwhelming feeling watching this scene again is that Don is advertising to himself here. It's not that his love for his family isn't real, or that his gratitude and longing isn't sincere, but he pitches the carousel as a "return home", and as much as he *wants* to view his family life as "home", he can't ever actually view them as anything more than extension of an invented persona. In the end, he could never accept Betty or his children as permanent fixtures in his life; he was always so terrified that if they learned what kind of man he was, the whole edifice would come crumbling down. Even though I think he genuinely wants this second chance, his itch to run never goes away.
I cried when I saw that the first time and I am crying again.
I live in Rochester,NY(Home of Kodak).Man if only Kodak didn't fuck up and convert over to digital.Kodak developed digital,but didn't push it hard enough when it should have.
Cinnamon crunch Digital wasn't their forte, but you're right they could have converted their media and easily replaced it keeping their distribution channels strong and maintaining the brand, but alas. Same could be said of Microsoft these past 20 years.
Good luck at your next meeting.
Awesome.
probably Teddy didn't exist.
No, but he did work in a fur company, the place where Roger buys Joan a mink and meets Don.
A man named teddy? Working at a fur company? Teddy bear? Fur company? Seems a bit contrived.
Ted the bear
there are aplenty of Ted the bear in San Francisco along Castro street if you know what i mean...wink ....wink
Well, Theodore IS a greek name...
I wish they did more business like this after season 3
What about scintillating music in the background ... draws you in so much more..
Dear Don Draper in Greek nostalghia literally means "a pain due to a desire to go back home...a desire to return to where you are from"...Ulysses was affected by nostalghia...of course...
Equally powerful as that presentation was the confident comment, “Good luck at your next meeting.” Huge sales technique.
right! straight to the close.
The whole series was nostalgic, particularly if your father actually worked in the advertising business in NY, commuted from the suburbs, and Mom's life was raising the kids and gossiping with the other housewives in the neighborhood.
In which case you are not young anymore.
@@jeandupont8501 True.
@@williamtaylor5193 I wish you the best though never doubt that 😃
This was one of the very top segments on Mad Men..IMO
OK THIS actually was my favorite of all the campaigns he did. OUTSTANDING JOB!
#Kodak #Carousel #MadMen #1961 I wasn't born yet, but I'd give anything to go back to that time.
I miss Sal
Truly the best sales pitch from draper.thanks for posting the video
That is still a powerful scene put together the way powerful ads used to be put together back in the heyday of advertising which has since faded away replaced by cookie tracking and 'Happy with your wash' crud 🙉🙈🙊
The deepest irony here is that Don traffics in his most intimate, personal memories to sell a concept to a client. It's a scene of complete corruption.
When an artist uses his pain and anguish to conceptualize a painting, or write a song, would you call that corruption? ...surely you mean art.
very true. however, I do think Don was feeling the most "family" he ever would. Maybe things would have been different if Betty hadn't left before he got home.
or sincerity
with one hand in his pocket as well, a sign of concealment. pity great attention to detail
I suppose you say corruption based on Don's character throughout the show. However, we can't say he didn't love his family, though he may have had a hard time showing it. But from his deepest depths, he was able to reveal his feelings in this scene while concealing it as a pitch. No one would truly know what he was feeling. But by using his family photos he showed he kept them in mind and expressed it in this covert manner. In marketing, you have to consider how people feel about things, and pulling from one's own experiences is the best way to understand others. So there is definitely a very intertwined mix of hidden emotions with the reality of the moment he was living while trying to close a deal.
I tracked down one of those original Kodak Carousels that Don made up the ad campaign for.....Heavy as hell....Solid chrome metal trim.....Heavy gauge steel shell.....They don't make "em like this anymore.....Just like this show...One of the best there ever was......Long live Don Draper!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
HAHAHA Harry Crane crying
thats.....pretty funny..
Chris its been ages since i watched the show, why did crane cry again?
Because the pitch was so emotional; is that not obvious?
Because he was having trouble with his wife. He was missing the family life.
If I remember correctly he'd just separated from his wife.
Don could sell sand in the desert! Awesome scene…my favorite scene! ❤️
I love how Duck spiked the football at the end. Brings the point home to the clients on what they just witnessed.
Such a great TV series...Up there with The Wire, Breaking Bad, Parks and Rec, Mash et al.
Nostalgia is the reason why i once in a year have to have mc donalds just to see if it lives up to my childhood memories.
I get a mc chicken,fries with mayo, cola or a milk shake and maybe some nuggets with sweet sour sauce.
Now that sad truth is that its either not as good as it used to be or when you were a child you ignored all from your simple point of view. How the food may be not hot, the fries soft and how you get hungry quickly compared to other meals.
As a child you were happy! Why? Because you were allowed to eat at Mc Donalds! You finaly get the fast food you always wanted but never got!
For a child that is enough but for an adult having the ability to choose to eat what ,when and where it leaves you disappointed in the end and you think of other places. Places of better food, for cheaper prices and bigger portions.
I gotta give a presentation next week. I hate giving presentations. I'm looking to Don for inspiration.
“To a place where we know we are loved”
great advertising lesson, I will use his word tomorrow at my job interview
Cyrano Don did you get the job
he never came back!
The most talent exhibited un this is making Duck seem like a cool and secure person.
As shown later in the series Duck is at his best when he is actually drunk, he just had the perfect ending tag to Don’s pitch but Duck is clearly independently talented drinking and selling things
After watching this scene I went out and bought a Kodak Carousel slide projector. I couldn't help myself. Who knows why Bradlee's had them in stock? Or why there was a Fotomat kiosk in the Mall parking lot?
"It takes us to a place where we ache to go again." 😔😌
I had no idea about this television series but this scene is a great one
"to a place we know we were loved" So true.
The "where we ache to go again" part, well, aches.
Geeeezussss!!! How great is that scene??
Eyaura, well said. Knowing this you can play and enjoy the game, which is not played on the vertical. Games are never real, but made up. We chose to play them because they have something to teach us about ourselves. They cease to be as much fun when we forget we chose to play....although we still eventually learn what we need to learn from them.
Try Preparation H.
It almost moved me to tears when I watched this.
It's delicate ....
... but potent.
“Good luck at your next meeting”
Translation: “why are you even going to bother?”
Here’s the great irony of this amazing scene: Don using his own life, his own desires and failures, to simply sell a product. Astounding.
Stanislavski applied to advertising. It's genius.
That isnt irony
when they cut to the Kodak guys, I laughed because I had the exact same expression on my face hearing this pitch! the first time I watched this I had goosebumps the size of mountains
Love how Don proves his point through passing by the proposed advert to another time slide - Don kissing his wife.
yup the carousel goes all the way around until you are back home :)
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this clip, Ciao, L
that mood music is KILLER!
".... and that, my friends, is why Don earns the big bucks!"
If this doesn’t explain the power of good marketing….
I remember watching this over, and over again. It is one of the most perfect moments in TV history.
this scene always gives me chills
I'm right there with Wisconsin Badger Harry Crane. This scene always brings me to tears. Such amazing writing, cinematography and a brilliant performance by Jon Hamm. Duck was on point and funny...it shows how alcoholism can destroy your life.
"... to a place where we know we're loved."
This was unbelievable brilliance
Those guys had the 'mind blown' look about them.
...the riddle is that Draper had never truly felt what he wanted the executives to feel on that day.
Greatest mad men scene
"a place where we're loved." What place is there for Don Draper?
nowhere. Don't think he ever felt that, except for that fleeting moment in bed with a woman...
he was loved by that one prostitute member?
@@diosantana2659 Did you even watched the whole show?
SPOILERS
California, when Anna was alive, she was the only one who truly knew him.
I never watched mad men.
I came upon this clip after laughing at clips from the movie "Crazy People".
I watched this clip dry-eyed.
When I read, "What place is there for Don Draper?" a tear coursed down my cheek.
That's a question I've been asking about myself for some weeks now.
One of the best scenes ever
It doesn't get much better than this....
Sam Peebles it does :) This show has so much powerful moments. Don, pete, and peggy eating togetger at burger chef. Bert Cooper singing. The whole episode of Peggy's birthday. And much more
