Don Draper

🎲

Protagonist of Mad Men whose famous dismissive quote 'I don't think about you at all' is widely misunderstood as a power move when the episode actually shows him obsessing over his rival.

Mentions (16)
"The entire episode showed him thinking about Ginsberg a LOT. he was so jealous and threatened by Ginsberg's talent that he sabotaged his pitch. His petty vindictiveness is one of his main character traits."
"I mean this shit makes Don Draper and co seem like absolute saints. At least they when they were convincing us that smoking was good for our health they were doing it with style, actually contributing to some sort of aesthetic ideals that we used to have as a country."
"Don draper, even within the confines of Mad Men does not exist. He's a mirror. Everyone in the show loves staring at their reflection and so do you."

"Also comparing don draper to a contemporary advertising creative director is hilarious (no offence)."
It's so fucked up that work isn't like mad men anymore · u/Psychological_Salt45 · ↑316 · 2024-06-11
"one looked like henry cavill one like don draper and one like denzel. they heroically saved the day put out the fire then fitted 3 fire alarms all in about 15mins then disappeared into the night looking all handsome and brave."
"I don't think I've ever read anything worse than 'Mad Men will end with Don Draper becoming DB Cooper' which I think is the platonic ideal of this kind of theory"
"He reminds me of the wunderkind schizo guy from Mad Men (never seen the show, just YouTube clips) with me being Don Draper of course."

"The sexy, but brooding and depressed guy who is a major lothario seems to have fallen to the wayside recently. It was very big in the 2000s with Don Draper, Dan Humphrey, the music of Jon Mayer."

"I was almost in love with Don. Especially considering how anyone who's finished the series seems to have a way more negative opinion of him. But I think there's a lot of vulnerability and goodness there marred by the trauma in his life. I dunno. Am I crazy? Any other gays/girls feel this way? I'm no"
watching Mad Men made me understand the appeal of 'I can fix him' · u/2giga2dweebish · ↑64 · 2022-07-11
"If it all is genuine, they need some sort of Don Draper style heavy hitter in the ad industry to give them a makeover ASAP."
PETA has to be some sort of controlled opposition psyop right? · u/Matewan1998 · ↑50 · 2024-04-05
"Did a good job with Don Draper, has sucked ass in everything since then."

"After Don Draper, Pete Campbell is the most fascinating male character on Mad Men"
"Don Draper deserves a little renaissance like Tony Soprano but it's maybe too early for that?"
"Floating through space with a tote of cash. Stopping by random places without a map. Can do whatever you wanted to do. Anything at all."
"Gentlemen, people don't like things that are bad. They like thing that are good. What if it's…so good? Yoplait, it is so good."
Don Draper · u/BrineFine · ↑29 · 2022-04-06
"I know he's super hot rich and charming and I know it's just a show. But that is still too much. Plenty of women of all levels of attractiveness will 100% ick-out when they get a whiff of fuckboy / player etc. And Don radiates exactly that energy."
