In Madmen the main men where talking about this Volkswagen ad. They were making fun of the ad saying that they didn't know whether to make fun of the car or the ad. As the men were discussing the ad Don Drapper said that the company had a clean and simple ad and that the company was still going strong, also they had been talking about the ad for about 15 minutes instead of something like the latest playboy. Most important fact from Madmen was that even though they didn’t understand the ad or like it, the ad made the men talk about it for 15 minutes.
