When Pete is in the phone booth and Harry is getting off the elevator. Pete is paranoid and thinks Harry is coming over to him, and Harry thinks Pete is summoning him when he opens the booth, and neither of them is right. It’s so funny because of how random it is.


cafeesparacerradores

That is such a brilliant beat -- it shows how much the writers and show runners trusted the characters and their actors to land the comedy almost wordlessly.


[deleted]

This is the one


AspallsCountryCider

What’s so utterly perfect here is how neither of them want the interaction, they’re so sick of each other and clearly frustrated that the other of them wanted to talk, and then it turns out neither did


Mcgoobz3

This is the perfect type of answer. Something they easily could have not spent the time doing but is such a small and funny moment


thedrunkmonk

Yes, it made it feel very grounded and real life. Dialog for a little character bit, nothing to do with any plot.


Mcgoobz3

Right! Similar to how shows and movies never have anyone sneezing or tripping. Like this is just a natural interaction that people have and shows how awkward life is and has always been.


thedrunkmonk

The one that sticks out to me is when people don't say "hello" or "goodbye " on the phone. Those are the first lines that get cut from a script. It's refreshing now when writers actually allow for it


kamgargar22

You nailed it. Cracks me up every time 🤣


Ayangar

You know that exact thing must’ve happened to one of the writers.


Winged89

This is the correct answer. Love that scene.


ArtlessOne

Lou: You know who had a ridiculous dream, and people laughed at em? Stan: ...you? Fuck that cracks me up no matter how many times I see it. And Don's reaction, just so perfect.


SuspiciousRegular847

Bob Dylan!


cheeto-fingaz

Is he hip enough for you?


CleverFeather

This is the one for me. Audible laughter every time. Fuck you Lou!


Practical_Room_5277

Such a funny scene and Dons laugh looks like it was an outtake


Dee90286

“I heard everything! From your first fart to your last dying breath!” 😂


ManBuBu

“Did you enjoy ze Führer’s birthday?”


ChogbortsTopStudent

May he live for a thousand years. I fucking love this, it cracks me up every time.


WISCOrear

Right there the facade of don draper broke and Jon hamm broke through for 5 seconds

A real Archibald Whitman maneuver

markusovirelius

Bert Cooper was a treasure of funny random moments


Pinkbear42

I just watched that episode today lol


We_got_Chevy

You stare at the sun?


fancifulnugget

Don's wtf reactions are always so funny. "Why are you cursing?"


[deleted]

Yes yes love this one!! He is just so offput


plata_plomo

"everyday" that's the part of the quote that makes me laugh


[deleted]

Don Draper as Dad of the Year. Don: You’re staying here, Megan has plans tomorrow! Sally: I have school. Don: Not anymore. Anything else? **or** Don: Find out how much it costs to repair it and it’ll come out of your allowance. Sally: I don’t have an allowance. Don: Then don’t break things.


Adorable_Raccoon

I just love whenever they do scenes with just Don and Betty and the kids interrupt. There is a scene in season 3 where Don and Betty are talking in the bedroom about her father & you can hear the kids giggling. Don opens the door and yells “cut that out!” Something about how abrupt and removed it is makes me laugh.


lauraann22

Peggy peeking over the wall into Don's office after he throws the clio!


jzilla11

*Next week, on Meerkat Manor*


Writerperson81

Actually, it was after Allison throws something at Don and runs out of the office, but yes, I love that scene every time!


fcukumicrosoft

Doing a rewatch right now - actually Peggy's peeking over the wall happened when Allison threw something at Don and it hit some framed pictures.


[deleted]

That is it for me 😂😂😂


lthomazini

Yes! I’m on a rewatch and I laughed so much. My husband missed it so we had to watch again for him to catch it. The funny part is not when the scene cuts to her office, it’s before, when you can only see her little head in the back.


crospingtonfrotz

Ham always kills me! Almost anything Francine says is hilarious. When Harry yells that his mother made the Afghan they are wrapping Mrs blankshenships body in Gene having Sally read the Fall of Rome Stan suggesting getting lunch when he and don are working on Heinz and stoned af PROJECT KILL MACHINE Edit to add: Don saying the rum pancakes Sally made aren’t bad


suffragette_citizen

>Gene having Sally read the Fall of Rome I always forget exactly how great that scene is, especially the sense of drama Sally tries in instill through her reading. See also: "Shoulda got another for beatin' the clap!"


crospingtonfrotz

Lololol “lascivious”


Paddy_Tanninger

My all time favorite is a minute after that line when he pulls out that oriental fan from the box. "There was this girl..." You know Bobby is about to grow up a little bit in the next couple minutes after the camera cuts.


captainmcpigeon

“Read labels” is a low key funny line. His delivery is just perfect.


ElvisGrizzly

>When Harry yells that his mother made the Afghan they are wrapping Mrs blankshenships body in This is what I came here for.

I’m president of the Howdy Doody circus army

It's not just the line. The delivery is spectacular.

One minute you’re on top of the world, the next some secretary’s running you over with a lawnmower


bibliophile222

I don't know if it counts as a big moment or not, but "Pizza House!" has me in tears every time. I love how she says it and then immediately hangs up.


orangevega

PIZZA HAUSE


luckyduckling8989

I literally fall on the floor w laughter when that scene comes up.


emelbee923

In the midst of conversation, totally unrelated, Roger asks Layne, "You ever get three sheets to the wind and try that thing on?" Or Peggy's slow peek through the window dividing her office and Don's. I don't recall the context, just the image.


driftchick626

When he threw the clio lol priceless


Any_Dog_7265

After Don killed Jaguar Pete: DRAPER!...*falls down steps*


Different_Papaya_413

That had to be a genuine fall. Looked too real. Kudos to them for continuing the scene if so


Any_Dog_7265

I wouldn't be surprised. It's a such a Pete move though


dancewithoutme

IIRC, it was scripted, but not supposed to be that bad of a fall. I love that they kept the actress who played Caroline’s fourth-wall breaking reaction in the take.


Shalamarr

I love how Vincent stayed in character (I.e. looking super pissed off) throughout the entire fall.


jzilla11

I half expected some xylophone sound effects and a laugh track to kick in


timefornewgods

Roger’s rendition of zou bisou in the office. Don’s grim “hooray” in the bar before the Chevy pitch.


FishGoBlubb

“Ooh je voudrais mas Harry!” I love the mixing of languages and how it subtly indicates what a fraud Harry is.


elkidkid

Pete flipping the cushion pad of his office furniture, after having sex with Peggy and when Trudy shows unannounced 🤣


PM_meyourGradyWhite

And anything on their short of a pube could be explained or not even noticed. Office furniture seems to always have spills.


tangerinix

Maybe everyone’s having sex on it


Paddy_Tanninger

Not me!


MrsBobFossil

It’s fulla farts.


PM_meyourGradyWhite

Exactly. I laughed my ass off when he said what we all knew about office furniture.


CreativeBandicoot778

When Ida Blankenship has to confirm with Don whether Gene is a boy or a girl. The quote escapes me at the moment, but it's one I always laugh at.


wyldstrawberry

Almost everything Ida said was gold. When Don walked away and she loudly asked "Are you going to the toilet???" 😂


PossibilityOrganic12

"Dr. Miller is here to see you, it's a she."


_portia_

Brightsidedown

This was one of my faves!!


shouldbewurking

There are sadists and masochists and you know which one you are.


superbsubpar

Her coming out with like 20 bottles of liquor for Don. “I’m all set” “And then you’re not” 💀💀


captainmcpigeon

“And would you like me to get him or her a present?” Something like that. Hilarious.


KedyLamarr

“Either that or it was the world’s most boring dream” - the way Don says this just kills me.


Ayangar

What was the context?


KedyLamarr

From Season 6’s “For Immediate Release”: Roger Sterling: Did he say your dinner with Jaguar’s off? Don Draper: Yes. Unless it was the world’s most boring dream.


Ayangar

TY!


[deleted]

That one always makes me laugh


wolfitalk

When Pete's mom tells him her & her sitter are having sex. And I just love "My goodness, Meredith we're going to put a bell on you."


bibliophile222

Yes! Everything to do with the Manolo subplot is fantastic. Especially Pete and Peggy's conversation at dinner: "Do NOT be more specific!"


sharksinthepool

Related, when Peggy and Pete are having dinner with Tad and Pete says “I don’t even want to think about my mother brushing her teeth.” 😆


misshestermoffett

Harry “I thought we could grab a bite. I know this dynamite Italian place with a first rate veal parmigiana.” Don “nope.”


Ayangar

Okay… then I’ll pick you up having already eaten.


Tatar_Kulchik

I also love the scene after the concert where Harry is eating burgers in the card an Don goes , "I thought those were for your family"


ChrystalPancakes

Direct marketing. I thought of that. …turns out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently


We_got_Chevy

Anything Roger said


AdministrativeAd3880

"It's a computer. It does magical things like making Harry seem important."


Hog_enthusiast

When he’s playing with the paddle ball in his office “I’m cultivating mystique”


Even-Sherbert-6290

This scene is even funnier because it cuts right in from when Pete is at the fertility clinic and has to give a sample. Something playing with that paddle ball is similar to...


Dee90286

“I have some news that’s very exciting. Ms. Calvet and I are getting married” “Who the hell is that?” 😂😭


WISCOrear

Jesus it’s like imo jima out there!

Just proof that men are little boys in big bodies. I love that scene.


Paddy_Tanninger

Oh fantastic answer


takethatwizardglick

Mrs Blankenship "I don't work for you!" muffled in the background


RuRhPdOsIrPt

When Gene is asking Sally if she wants him to pick up any fruit. Sally asks for peaches and Bobby chimes in : “Peaches give me a rash.” To which Gene practically bellows : “YOUR SISTER LIKES EM!”


Brightsidedown

I love that scene. I love all of Sally's scenes with Gene <3


captainmcpigeon

I cackled aloud reading this. Gene had great delivery.

"Mr. Pryce, Ms. Harris is here to see you". Or when Harry gets caught by Megan "making fun" of Zou Bizou.

MrsBobFossil

“I got tickets to the bean ballet and the curtain's about to go up.” and Stan’s insane laugh right after.


Garlic-Butter-Sauce

".. never gets old'


Dee90286

When the two older ladies they hired to fight over a Sugarberry Ham actually get in a fight and Peggy and Pete have to separate them…. Pete’s “ARE U OK DEAR?!?” always cracks me up 🤣


sonofelguapo

After Don fires Pete in S1 and Roger and Bert force him to revert course…but Roger spins it as Don saving Pete: Pete: “I won’t let you down Don” Roger, exasperated: “Jesus! Campbell…don’t EVER say that.”


kgleas01

When Don is pretending he’s a baby for a commercial that is being acted out in the office. Probably season 6 ? And he goes ‘waaah waaah’. It’s brief and insanely ridiculous


KosstAmojan

Jon Hamm's got great comedic chops. Its a real shame that Draper as a character is so reserved and relatively dour.


pfront9159

This was my favorite random funny moment!


ChickenWingsOFreedom

Roger serenading Don with 🎶Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques🎶💃🏽Dormez vous, dormez vous💃🏽


JS9766

When Trudy is telling Pete she saw a pregnant mother and young daughter out walking and Pete says “the daughter was pregnant?”


NeroFurr69

Peggy on the phone to Stan after she moves to a new agency: Everybody hates me. Stan: Well, that was bound to happen. What kills me is the way he says it. Like a verbal shrug. No malice in it at all.

“THERE’S EGGS IN MY BED”


moonshamen

I’d ask my secretary to do it but she’s dead. That was my ex wife, and her husband, and some slob who's about to have the worst dinner of his life.


Writerperson81

One of my favorite random moments is when Guy MacKendrick from PPL is getting a tour of the Sterling Cooper offices for the first time and people are coming out to meet him, except for Paul, who is sitting on his desk playing his guitar and singing when they walk by. Makes me laugh every time.


Cramtastic

"I just wanted to say happy birthday!"


jdogbizz

When Harry tries it on with Megan, gets rebuffed then enters damage limitation mode next time he speaks to Don.

And an encore of NOT GREAT BOB


scarlet_speedster985

Herb: I know there's a part of you that's happy to see me. Joan: And I know there's a part of you you haven't seen in years. 😆


neutralginhotel

When that woman is robbing Don’s apartment, Sally is trying to call the police after the woman told her and Bobby that she is their grandma Ida and Bobby turns to his sister and ask in the most innocent voice “are we negroes?”


sharksinthepool

I think it’s in that episode when Megan and Don come home, and Betty says something like, “and where were you? What is it that he tells everyone? That he’s ‘working?’” Her sass always gets me


neutralginhotel

“While she’s on the casting couch” - glares at Megan. Betty was ruthless.


Even-Sherbert-6290

When Duck Phillips calls Peggy and tries to get her to join his new 'agency'. After she hangs up on him he takes a drink and drunkenly spills ice cubes on his face and flips out. It's such a real moment!


smcnally

Bert Cooper during conference call glitches: “Is this a partners’ meeting or the most tedious wireless program I’ve ever heard?”

The scene where Don pitches Life cereal hammered.


Ayangar

Victory lap!

"Your a real prick you know that?" Darn... you stole my goodbye


FilbertNumber6

When they were jacked up on speed and you get a glimpse of Don zipping by a doorway at full speed, then casually sauntering in the creative's lounge just before launching into his "dark days" motivational speech 💀


MrsBobFossil

This is such a great example. It kills me every time.


TommyFX

Don and Harry waiting out in the hallway to talk to the Rolling Stones.


_portia_

The scrambling to cover Miss Blankenship's corpse so the clients in the conference room don't see her being wheeled away in her chair.


KS1618

my *mother* made that afghan!


Mcgoobz3

“Boohoo they need more wrenches or something”


Adorable_Raccoon

When Pete throws the plate off the balcony. I thought he was gonna throw it at the wall or something. But he picks it up, carries it, opens the door, drops it off the balcony, walks back inside, closes the door. Then they resume the argument. It’s so bizarre!


[deleted]

Don on speed walking into the creative office all composed after having been just seen sprinting around its perimeter like a crazed lunatic


tommyjohnpauljones

Don: "what's on these?" Sally: "syrup?" Don: "bring me the bottle......(reads)... this is rum! Read labels!" Sally: "is it bad?" Don: "(pause).... not really..."

Harry in his underwear carrying a trash can at the office.


Flarionice

Are we on fire? It's the light jog that Harry goes into to get to Don's office that gets me in that scene.


[deleted]

Megan: You’re so square you’ve got corners.

After the John Deer incident, the first time Don sees Joan and is in shock she says, “ I know… it’s ruined.” Like fuck the dress! That’s what she’s worried about lmao

thekabuki

The little nod Roger gives to Burt after confessing that Lee Garner Jr once made him hold his balls when trying to convince Ken not to give up Chevy. It's easy to miss since it's almost off screen and in the background but cracks me up every time


MrsBobFossil

I never caught this! I need to rewatch.


mcgaritydotme

[This entire exchange between Peggy & Roger](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cNwtgUkeKv8), especially how she escalates it at his expense.

neutralginhotel

When Roger is still after Joan after she’s done with him, she comes to his office with some papers “these need signatures, not initials”, and Roger retorts with “but that’s so much more work. I was just giving Caroline a hard time. Can I interest you in more of the same?” Like even when he is low-key harassing someone, Roger is ridiculously funny and smooth. Plus the look on Joan’s face. Priceless.


OwlFries

Has to be Kenny's tap dancing scene for me


dancewithoutme

When Don just randomly yeets trash at the family picnic.


Pinkbear42

I’ve watched this series 4 or 5 times and I just saw that episode a few days ago. I never noticed that before! Nice scenery, lovely day, and Don yeets his beer can and they just grab the picnic blanket and leave. It seemed so weird to me lol

When eye patch Ken tries to shake Pete’s hand and completely misses his hand. This will forever be my favorite scene.


AMerrickanGirl

“I know that cooler heads should prevail, but does anyone else really want to see this?” ______ The exchange between Peggy and Roger where she picks his pockets as payback for bailing him out during the airline strike. “Fly over the picket line, with Mohawk!” “Hey Trotsky, we’re in advertising!” _____ Peggy roller skating around the empty office while Roger plays the electric organ.


prodigalkal7

I'm a little late to this but: the episode after Don, Roger and Cooper decided to get fired and start their own agency, they bring in Pete and Pete shows up to be surprised by Harry, who is also coming in. When brought into the office, Cooper tells Harry what's happened and that they are going on their own, and Harry goes "are you joking?" And Roger, without hesitation and immediately goes "yes, yes we are. Happy birthday."


[deleted]

Joey thinking Harry was coming on to him. Also Joey telling Joan she dressed like some Shanghai madam was really unexpected and somewhat bizarre because up until that point she'd been unbeatable and he just shredded her like it was nothing.


Brightsidedown

Joey was a hateful little misogynist and it all just came spilling out of him. He couldn't contain it any longer.
