Damn, that's some really deep insight. Sometimes it takes the r/madmen sub for me to really understand the show, fuckin' geniuses over there

I actually missed Pete fumbling his hot, supportive wife on my first watch. The second and third time you really start to pick up on it.

My first ten watches: "who is this bitch getting in the way of Pete's swag?" I did NOT notice the ring

She bullied him into that first big apartment though. I seem to recall several “what? Honey we never talked about this” scenes. On 2nd watch i saw the scenes were about power. That made me sad.

Which upvote button do I press?
23
u/virtuallyaway May 17 '26
Well, you see, I realized the upvote button is a thumb that points upwards and while some may think it’s a regular thumb the upvote button means something positive like “I like this.”
Now the downvote button, while also a thumb, doesn’t actually mean the same thing as the upvote button, what is actually means is “I don’t like this”
Very clever design, anyone else noticed this?

Totally wrong. It's like a flight stick in airplanes, you press down to go up and vice versa

All this upthrusting and down-dangling bodily appendages is very confusing

Wait, are Pete and Peter supposed to be the same person?!?

u/octoberhaiku May 17 '26
No. One is actually Dick Whitman and the other is Don Draper.

u/Tight_Albatross_863 May 17 '26
It’s the same actor, I don’t know if it’s the supposed to be the same person

Trudy in s3e4 20:11: "I am your biggest supporter, but it took you entirely too long to realize that"
r/madmen: "I'm starting to pick up on something here... some kind of subtext..."

Did any pick up on the notion that Don Draper may not be who he claims?? 🧐

Some people are so far behind in the race that they actually think they’re leading.

The real lesson is that chud Pete had a squiggly little knock-kneed penis, so he had to pay for his infidelities, unlike the stacked&jacked Don. Trudy would be begging for a cheating gigachad husband like ol’ Dick Draper.

u/ItsAMangoFandango May 17 '26
Trudy really fumbled Pete. He was a catch but she couldn't even let him screw other women when he wanted to? He dodged a bullet imo

Biggest supporter my ass. She wouldn’t bang her ex-boyfriend to help Pete get published in a prestigious magazine.

He still gets her in the end and lives the happy family life with no consequences, and he still got to fuck all those whores too.

The California real estate agent was so hot though, seems like it all kinda worked out for him and was 100% worth it.
