Last night’s episode of “Mad Men” (“The Rejected”) was a delight to watch. Even as Don Draper continues his season-long slide into post-divorce darkness, the era is pulling other characters forward, such as Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) and Peggy (Elisabeth Moss). “The Rejected” was filled with quips and sly visual levity, a credit to director John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling. But enough of my chatter; let’s get to the badass parts already:
- Trudy Campbell (Alison Brie) is pregnant. This isn’t badass, but it needs to be addressed: the makeup artists better make her the sexy kind of pregnant, not the fat pregnant that Peggy got in Season 1.
- New copy writer Joey on Trudy: “I would get her SO pregnant.” Me too, Joey. Me too.
- Person in a bear suit at a weird-ass party in a Soho loft. Soho loft parties haven’t changed much in 45 years.
- Lesbian holding nude photos of women! Woo-hoo!
- Peggy: “I have a boyfriend.” Nancy: “He doesn’t own your vagina.” Peggy: “No… but he rents it.”
- In a delightful coincidence, “Mad Men” echoes last Thursday’s “Jersey Shore” when Ken confronts Pete about talking behind his back.
- Pete’s father-in-law: “You son of a bitch.” Pete:
BEST. SHRUG. EVER.

How much would it cost to rent Joan’s vagina? Peggy’s has to be free.
If we could get the deal with it shades dropping on to Pete’s face after he shrugs, the internet might explode.
Peggy: “I have a boyfriend.” Nancy: “He doesn’t own your vagina.” Peggy: “No… but he rents it.”
*snaps fingers*
Mmm-hmmm, girrrrrrlllll
“Mad Men- Just the bad ass parts” is my favorite part of Monday and when I saw Joey say “I would make her so pregnant” I knew it was a lock to make the bad ass list.
Also, the drunk-letter Don tried to send to Allison was awesome. If you noticed, it said “I’s sorry” in Dick Whitman-esque drunken hillbilly language. Technology sure has come a long way, but drunken spelling stays the same.
RE: Don’s drunken letter to Allison.
I couldn’t help but think that typing a letter was the drunk-text message of the time and how many of those letters never got sent once the writer sobered up, relative to all of the drunken regrettable texts that get unleashed upon society these days. Food for thought.
Anyway, you knew the episode was going to be bad-ass before the opening sequence even began because of the nudity disclaimer that preceded the episode.
The best part of the episode was Pete owning his father-in-law. “Every time you jump to conclusions, Tom, it makes me respect you less.”
I’m pretty sure this episode was much more funnier than originally intended because John Slattery directed it. The quick, witty pacing was all Roger Sterling.
God dammit though, if this show continues to show Don getting more and more pathetic without any sign that this will change, then this season could go downhill. He is the main reason to watch after all.
I wish Don wasn’t such a pussy in this season. Still, at least Alison Brie was in this episode – she is the best looking girl on TV.
Mad Ax Men is such a better show
