From Mad Men - 3x04 - The Arrangements: the Patio Diet Cola advertisement imitating the opening scene from Bye Bye Birdie.

I tried my best to sync it up. The most logical way for me to do that was to use audio cues: some kind of brass instrument was prominent and easy to pick up on, so I used that. I separated the audio: left is the original and right is the Patio Diet Cola ad from Mad Men. As you can see for yourself, the ad is not "an exact copy, frame for frame" as Ken Cosgrove says. It's pretty close though, though it's not as close as the Dirty Dancing scene from How I Met Your Mother (see my other videos for that one).

  • You people do realize that all the points you're making here were made in this episode right? They're doing it on purpose.

  • I am positive Don is sitting there the entire time thinking "Have I fucked this girl yet?"

  • Sinto que está faltando alguma coisa...

  • well done, great work on the split screen, gave us a chance to see them together.

  • @ImogenKateify Twiggy came later like 1966-67. Early to mid sixties women wore body shapers & girdles to make the waist look cinched. Most woman were NOT like Joan. The model was supposed look a little heavy for the diet drink. Ann-Margaret's voice in Bye-bye Birdie is NOT how she normally sang, it was rather exaggerated & comical. Obviously, you NEVER heard Ann-Margaret sing. She sang in many movies with Elvis Presley and sounded good then.

  • born in the 80's. nostalgiac for the 60's.

    ?

  • The Cola girl is more like Rita Wilson than Ann-Margret.

  • the only thing that bothers me is the fact that ann says bir-he instead of birdie.

  • PhillyBlunt6988 is right, Ann is hotter!

  • @Javo1087 YESSS!! Made my day!

  • she'll never have the figure that Ann-Margaret has
