@@gleedameister If you were alive then you'd know that wasn't bad. it was enough to live in NYC at least.

Given the era Peggy's mother would probably have found a Catholic adoption service, probably through their church. The fancy adoption agency that Trudy is looking at will not be Catholic. You do not send a Catholic child to a Protestant home, you'd be better off leaving it with the unwed mother, that would be the view of a Catholic family. So while the idea of "could I have potentially adopted my own son?" would have kept Pete awake at night it's basically impossible.
I live for how much Hildy can’t stand Pete. She treats him like he is just as ridiculous as he is and eventually they just fight like an old married couple
They make the best pair on the show. He is unpredictable and she is calm. I love Hildy as she is always prepared for Pete's crazy ways. She knows him through and through and accepts it and does not try to change him. . In other words, a small boy with his toys.
She seemed pretty tough. She didn't put up with anything out of bounds, did her job, and survived Mad Men! She probably did just fine in the long run :)
I wanted P to get run over in the early seasons, but he did change more than any other character. Some might think Peggy changed most, but she actually stayed on the same path in my opinion.
Zigzag4me I like to think that she is a naturally assertive person who doesn't put up with crap, the problem is her workplace and what Society expects her for gender probably wouldn't allow her to be like that. but we do see it and I really like that when she told off Mr. Hooker for blabbing about Joan's surprise

God that sounds like hell.....only thing worse then these dudes being how they are to these girls most the time is some woman in charge feminist freak frankly.
@@danielhicks4826 The way these Mad Men "dudes" freakly sexist treated lady staff like Hildy is how and why early 1970s feminism had to start, to level the tyranny playing field.
pete asking hildy to tell him when cooper and draper come out of sterling's office wasn't a big deal. working in an open space like she is even without paying attention she would have either noticed or heard them come out. she could have easily gotten fired over a remark like that
he becomes a better person by the end through sheer pain that caused by himself, and nobody liked him because he was a tool but I still think he became a better person, he had to
Too bad someone as good looking as (fictional) Pete C. was so ugly on the inside, but only AT FIRST. In later episodes, he became a decent person, even a good husband & father. HOPE for humanity.
The redheads on this show are fine as hell and they rarely do it for me I jizzed my pants the one time hildy and joan were on screen together I was like Job Bleuth "Come on!"
Right from the very first episode, I thought Pete Campbell was an arsehole. Further viewing only confirms this. The writers should have made him at least a little bit likeable.
I love how she grabbed the rifle as if it was a normal part of her duties. She didn't even hesitate.
Today she'd tweet about it to draw attention to herself.
@@BMG19FUNNYDIE While talking about how she doesnt get opportunities even though she makes more than the majority of people her age 😂
"I should go."
"You should."
Pete was such a creepy little weirdo in the early episodes.
His character evolved into a totally unexpected role. I pegged him for a total bust out from the very start.
He was a stereotypical frat boi lol
it was a bit much TBH
@@blueyes6474 The whole Group was; Ken, Paul, Harry, and Peter was the leader lol
I loved that 😂
Hildy's funny. "Sure. I'll just sit here and watch the door. That's all I'll do"
Lol reminded me of Daria when a guy asked her where she’s been all his life and she goes “Waiting here, in this room, just for you!” 😂
Such a great line.
She may have meant that with no irony.
Pete was an elitist snob.
Hildy is goals for how well she stays composed, doesnt compromise her dignity and also happens to have a great wardrobe to boot!.
I love how Hildy sees right through Pete's shit.
Who doesn't.
@@marty2090 Exactly hes clueless with just about anything people related 😂
Pete throwing that record at 0:57 is hilarious, specially out of context, and Hildy´s reaction just kills me

Should have included the scene where she brings him hot chocolate and he's mad because it's instant and she's like, how can you even tell. Because they make it with water instead of milk! He's so young but he acts like a bitter old man.
She gets paid good money to ensure that hard working men can not stress about certain things.
Spoiled and entitled brat.

"I'll just sit here and watch the door, that's all I'll do" god damn I love some good sarcasm. Hildy spoke it as a second language!

She should have been slapped fiercely for that

@@919rohan Found the ungrateful hag
Is it, or is it not the case, that if Pete hadn't blown off the adoption agency that he might well have adopted his own son?
That's definitely correct. It's an excellent example of dramatic irony.
That would be crazy, but that's a more Vampire Diaries type coincidence. Matt Weiner would never do dumb shit like that

Pretty long odds on that. Besides, his son would most likely have been adopted by then. Most couples want to adopt as young as possible.
Wonder if that’s happened before

MarvelGirl100 The last part is because he is her boss and could have her fired.
It is not her job to "change" Pete. It is her job to shut up and do secretarial work.
@@shrapnel77 It's also her 'job' to survive him - no mean feat.
@@MsDonttrythisathome Pete never killed anyone. Surviving annoying people is easy.

@@sitcomchristian6886the sad point is that women like her who stood up for themselves gain a reputation "difficult" and get their careers dead ended

Her one glaring flaw was that she found Harry attractive....
Harry isnt a bad looking dude plus he was a lot more innocent back then. If it was endgame Harry then yea that'd be shameful 😂
hahaha, the "watch the door" part is the best.
i looove hildy!!
"watch the door" is so funny haha
Pete is actually very rude to Hildy. It's about time she stands up for herself. I think she's ballsy, which makes her awesome.

Pete had the best secretary in the company and treated her bad. Who remembers her from Supernatural.
God Hildy was such a sweetie, and Pete just crapped all over her nearly every time they had an interaction. Reminds me of Erin from The Office.
I was in a reverse of the Pete-Hildy arrangement. I was the male underling with a female supervisor who found out I wasn't going to be intimidated.
God that sounds like hell.....only thing worse then these dudes being how they are to these girls most the time is some woman in charge feminist freak frankly.

Its easier for you cuz you know your freshman year version could stuff her in a locker.
Her fearlessness with the rifle... oof!
Did you know "flo" the insurance commercial lady. Is one of the characters working the phone room and Jone introduces Peggy on the first day.
Yes I recognized her voice
No! I'll have to go back and watch that clip.
Nice that (if in a different series, later decade) Flo was promoted.
Hildy should have been there for more man... so beauty

Is there an episode where Pete gets the snot knocked out of him? I'd like to see that.
Yes and it's great
@@animationfanatic2133 I found it. The late Lane Pryce took him down, to the satisfaction of many viewers.
@@rr7firefly And Mad Meners, such as Roger and Joan.
Come to think of it, she is like Trudy, his wife. And he needed someone like her to keep him in line.
Well, Trudy was a lot more sweet....probably because she didn't have to witness hin under pressure when being nice is harder than usual.
She was the only secretary that wasn't playing the game.
And Dawn and Clara.
lol at the adoption part
I always thought Hildy was THE hot redhead on the show.

Pete. The anti Don.
I loved how Hildy hated Pete and could barely hide it
Mad Men - the 'mad' is implied.
And expressly in the title "Mad."
she is so pretty here than in supernatural.
Pete needed Mrs Blankenship
Imagine trying to get away with even half the stuff the guys do nowadays lol
Well, at least he didn't throw a chicken this time.
Picture quality is crap. What is that, a copy of a copy?
She is rude to him, but still he doesn´t fire her. Don should really learn from Pete. I mean, how many "girls" have he fired over petty issues??
I don't remember any sectetary that Don fired lmao
@@brianwilson1074 But for the one (pre~ Ida Blankenship) Don fired after she threw a glass at him at the office, after their one night stand.

Pete is a tool until the very last episode.
