He’s Not Dick Whitman, He’s a Dickwit, Man

You know him, you love his deep voice, Brendan from the Frotcast is on the pod this week to talk to Matt and Vince about Mad Men season one episode three, “The Marriage of Figaro.”

Slimy Pete Campbell returns from his honeymoon in Niagara to find that those cads at Sterling Cooper have played a devious prank, putting a Chinese-American family (not the words they use) in his office! Jim Halpert could never. It’s a source of constant amusement for the office. No one does racist quips better than a bunch of 60s copywriters.

The Mystery of Don’s second identity unravels a tiny bit more when a Korean war buddy on the train calls him Dick Whitman. If you’ve seen the whole show already, you're like, yeah yeah he’s not Don Draper, he’s Dick Whitman, but if this is your first time watching, you’re like, lol who names their kid Dick Whitman?

The System

I’ve been thinking about some of the more confusing jokes that come out in the banter. Particularly the Einstein line in this episode. I feel like it’s a stylistic choice to depict some faux-witty banter where the characters are trying to sound like people in those mid century comedies like the Tracy/Hepburn type of dialogue. I think we as the audience can see that these witticisms are actually nonsensical but because they have the rhythm of witty banter the characters think themselves clever.

Bean salad fucking slaps. Beans and diced onion tossed in oil and vinegar. It actually is a great alternative to potato salad

Love the News Hole segment. The news hole used to be such a gaper

My wife's grandfather was an ad man in Manhattan in the 60s. Finding Buddy Hackett's "the original Chinese waiter album" in his record collection shows they really did their research for this show. https://archive.org/details/lp_the-original-chinese-waiter-comedy-albu_buddy-hackett
