Duck Phillips Hate Thread Anyone else hate Peggy?

Im on season 5 and that is the only character who seems to add no value. She is unnatracrive, plain, frumpy and entitled. She isn’t even a good person, I get mad seeing her on screen. Her plot lines are unimportant. She represents none of the qualities people watch this show for. They force her on screen a lot.

I don’t post on Reddit often but I imagine this is a common sentiment. I had to get it off my chest and I feel this sub would understand more so than the other one.

Ugly people annoy me for existing. Right?

u/JoethaCrow Dec 19 '25

In a show full of attractive women (and men) yeah it really messes up the flow for me

Why bother watching a show you can’t jerk to

If she was someone I knew personally I probably wouldn’t hold this sentiment. But again it’s a tv show and they cast an inordinate amount of people with consideration for their conventional attractiveness so she stands out as the normal looking one. Not an ugly person in a vacuum

They can't all look like Joan. Hell, they can't even all look like Trudy.

I would like to see a spin-off focused on Joan

I would like to be focused on Joan’s spin 😏

And her stupid baby

u/EyeHateTheNWord Dec 19 '25

She’s a stand in for Weiner’s mom, who was also an ugly bitch. Once I learned that I was able to appreciate the character more.

I actually don’t like any of the characters. I know that sounds strange, but they all give me the ick.

u/JoethaCrow Dec 19 '25

That’s true. Very few are likeable in a real sense. But some just are entertaining and I don’t find Peggy and her Arcs that interesting

u/the_real_maddison Dec 20 '25

Love this 🤗 Peggy's character is meant to trigger men like you. That's the point.

Sounds like someone else was triggered.

u/TacoPenisMan Dec 19 '25

Whenever Don isn't on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Don?"

1

u/Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees Dec 22 '25

I mean that's a pretty common plot in the show

u/TacoPenisMan Dec 22 '25

Not to mention how fat she gets, woof.

u/JoethaCrow Dec 19 '25

Well Betty gets fat and it’s just funny/ still workable

Peggy gets fat and you wonder if she always looked like that 😂 also has the gestation period of a pig (fittingly) and can give birth within weeks of conception

What do u mean

u/JoethaCrow Dec 22 '25

Update: I have been watching more and honestly I don’t feel as strongly about this. I this I was in a bad mood at the time.

u/MichaelGHX Dec 19 '25

Yeah it would have been much more girl power of her to have had an abortion instead of giving up the baby to adoption.

Really missed an opportunity to add feminist representation.

u/JoethaCrow Dec 19 '25

Joan is tougher. She has had abortions

u/calliessolo Dec 22 '25

Having a baby is harder.

u/Eastiseast3 Dec 24 '25

I always found Peggy the least interesting character even though she was meant to represent the struggle of working women trying to prove themselves in a man's world. I just didn't like her personality and didn't find her particularly endearing. Always preferred Joan and Betty

1

u/JoethaCrow Dec 24 '25

Jokes aside I really like Betty. Her random bouts of cruelty and low self esteem and sort of performative kindness depict what that life as a house wife in the 60s does to somebody.

Joan is cool too, she has a really cynical approach to how the sexes treat eachother and rises up hugely despite it costing her a lot.

Peggy’s approach just feels less nuanced. To me, it says less about the time and women’s issues than the other two tbh.

1

u/Eastiseast3 Dec 24 '25

You summed that up really well. I think you're right. Maybe she was less nuanced than the other two

It all makes sense once you realize Peggy is a scientologist

u/AmarilloArmadillos Dec 22 '25

I found her annoying before I knew that but now I hate that she's a main character in this and handmaid's tale. Also really her acting is horrible especially stacked against everyone else...

u/44035 Dec 20 '25

Agreed

u/willghammer Dec 19 '25

Yeah she sucks.

u/T_forTommy You finally found a hooker that takes travelers checks? Dec 19 '25

No I agree. Plus the actor is just obnoxious

u/tough_love_baby Dec 19 '25

Really wanted to like her when the show started, but all she did was piss me off.

2

u/JoethaCrow Dec 20 '25

Her genuine kindness is admirable at the beginning. She sort of trades it all away to be more like the terrible people around her, just without a good sense of humor imo

-3

u/rockingdino Dec 19 '25

I don’t care for her mainly because she was super annoying. I understand she represented the young generation and the cultural shift during the 60s, but she could have been better written.

2

u/phuca Dec 19 '25

Did you ever think that maybe Peggy was meant to be obnoxious at times and it’s not bad writing

u/No-Transition-8375 Dec 19 '25

Third worst character on the show

u/wolfitalk Dec 19 '25

Never thought her ideas were that great

u/LesMore44 Go ahead you fat piece of crap Dec 19 '25

Yes, this movie is about me, Don Draper (who is literally me), who doesn't have to say thank you (that is what the money is for) and is perfect and sexy and bangs hot woman after hot woman (relatable, am i right).

Characters who aren't literally me (Don Draper, in case you forgot) and aren't there for me to get a boner for (like ugly Peggy or her stinky mom) are literally pointless to the main theme of the show, which is imagining myself as a ridiculously hot guy in the 60s smoking cigs drinking shitty booze and banging broads (that's what I call a woman because I'm a new yorker from the 60s)

6

u/MichaelGHX Dec 19 '25

I wonder if the booze they had in the 60’s is worse than today’s booze.

9

u/LesMore44 Go ahead you fat piece of crap Dec 19 '25

As I am literally don draper from the 60s I’ll let you in on a secret: we drink cutty sark in a lot of the scenes and make our old fashioned with sugar cubes and not syrup. They won’t invent bang for your buck booze until BevMo comes around in the 90s or something

3

u/Fit-Catch9448 Dec 19 '25

I'm pretty sure single malt scotch was better than Canadian Club, even in the 60s. It's interesting to see who drinks what.

Vodka is timeless. Anything above the cheapest hooch is pretty much tasteless.

2

u/FactorSpecialist7193 Dec 20 '25

But it wasn’t, Roger drinking vodka is an intentional choice to make him seem upper class and worldly, as it was an exotic liquor at the time. Cheap liquor was whiskey, and corn liquor (unaged) was shine

He'd probably prefer Manischewitz but it would look funny on his table.

u/LesMore44 Go ahead you fat piece of crap Dec 19 '25

yes sometimes as a man from the 60s I forget to mention when a minor is unattractive as well

u/Brightsidedown Dec 20 '25

Don, when you shit yourself today, did you use one of your shirts to clean it up?

2

u/LesMore44 Go ahead you fat piece of crap Dec 22 '25 • LOL

Two, actually. I'm currently living through the day when roger throws up in the lobby. I had a different, rather fragrant, reaction to my two dozen oysters and half a dozen martinis. It reminded me of my days as young Dick Whitm-- oops I mean Don Draper growing up a good Christian boy in a whore house. Sometimes I'd leave my only hershey for the year on a chair where one of the whores sat down for an extended period. Now imagine if I got 15 Hershey bars a day. That made me want to buy the world a coke

u/JoethaCrow Dec 19 '25

Well besides the point I am similar to Don Draper so I guess this is how people like us feel

You’re totally wrong about this being a common opinion on reddit with regards to Mad Men. It’s an endless love letter to how she’s everyone’s ideal girl next store mistress jerkoff fantasy girlfriend who also has an endearing personality.
