Is the opening dialogue to Taylor Swift’s “Better Than Revenge” a sample of Betsy Draper/Francis from Mad Men? Especially the second part, “And think about what you did,” is exactly something Bets would curtly say to one of her kids. The “think” really sounds like her.
Granted, that same effected voice comes back in the song, singing along with Swift, so it could be her. Also the idea of T. Swift watching a “grown-up” show like Mad Men is kind of weird. But then again I could see her drawing inspiration from January Jones’ cold performance. What do y’all think?
Welcome to The ##’s newest segment, Mad Men Libs. We will be taking various quotes from out favorite television program and turning them into zany mad libs. Feel free to create your own versions of our mad libs. It’ll be fun for the whole family!
Here at The ## we faced a choice. We could not let this monumental Sunday come and go without some sort of commentary, but what stone has been left unturned? Today, we find ourselves with a daunting amount of stellar analysis of last night’s episode of Mad Men, from our friend Natasha Vargas-Cooper’s typically awesome installment of The Footnotes of Man Men over at The Awl, to Slate’s roundtable discussion, to a group of profs and academes writing in their smart but staid Higher Ed style. SO, instead of giving you a well-formed reaction, which we could provide if we were wont to do so, we’ve posted the chat that the ## masthead engaged in immediately after the end of last night’s episode. It’s fast and messy and occasionally brilliant. Shit might get weird, but stay with us. And tune in next week: We’re live-tumbling the response! So after the episode, come straight to The ##. Enjoy!
