What if the folks at Sterling Cooper didn't keep their emotions all bottled up inside? Sesame Street's new parody of Mad Men depicts just that, and teaches a thing or two about feelings at the same time, when Mr. Draper and his team (of "sycophants") tackle the Happy Honey Bear pitch. We haven't been this choked up since Don's Kodak Carousel campaign.
Have some idea as to what Pete and Betty are talking about? Let us know in the comments section.
Sometimes Sally relies on her fists instead of words, but when the oldest Draper kid does say what's on her mind, it can be quite profound.
Just because the season is over doesn't mean you can't still revel in all things Mad Men. Be sure to take a second look at what the show's stars had to say.
Finally, an episode I can watch with my children without having to explain "they're just wrestling!" while shielding their eyes!
But where was Piggy Olson in this bit?? Preposterous to miss the promising premise of a porcine prodigy producing the product promo. Now that's copywriting!! Ham Men
Shouldn't the last one be GLAD men? I mean, we're teaching kids emotion AND rhyming, right?
OMFG!!! I LOVE IT!! It's sooo cool when the general pop culture catches up with us hipsters who were already on the band wagon! The Simpsons paraody was cool and there was even a small mention on Sons of Anarchy this past week, but this is GRAVY!!!! I wish I had kids so I could share it with them!
Sesame Street has always found the happy medium when it comes to entertainment for both children and adults. You wouldn't think a Mad Men spoof geared towards the little ones would've worked this well, let alone at all
My new favorite Don Draper quote: "Good work, sycophants!"
Ok, I had to look up sycophants'. What's with sesame street using a word like that? And where WAS Miss. Piggy Olson?
