Going Viral #3 – Mad Mentsch
Meet Don Drayfus, the Jewish ad exec that oozes class, smokes forty a day and puts away tumblers of bourbon like there’s no tomorrow. Simply put, the finest ad man in North Jersey.
Sound familiar? It should. Mad Mentsch is a pitch-perfect spoof of insanely popular TV series Mad Men. Currently at the end of its sixth season, the show has picked up 15 Emmy Awards and millions of fans along the way, all tuning in to see the latest in Don’s inspired advertising pitches, extramarital exploits and sharp line of 1960s suits.
Mad Mentsch is no different…
We’ve featured Jewbellish before for their wonderful take on the “endless running” app game Temple Run and their eye for detail serves them well in conjuring up a Jewish reimagining of Mad Men‘s world complete with an authentically skewed title sequence and regular nods back to the original source material.
Since they’ve just released the latest episode of this YouTube series, it’s the perfect time to get acquainted with Don Drayfus…[divider]
