AMC's mad Men is one of the network's most critically acclaimed showsand despite its popularity, the series unfortunately ended in 2015. mad Men follows Don Draper, an agent for an advertising firm located on Madison Avenue in New York City. While he's presented campaigns for some pretty strange companies, Jon Hamm's latest film appearance features one of the strangest Don Draper pitches.

Jon Hamm's Unfrosted cameo is an unexpected sequel to Mad Men's “Waldorf Stories” episode

The cameo has a strange connection

Jon Hamm finally returns as mad Menis Don Draper in a cameo role in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Storywith this unexpected return being one of the highlights of the film. Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story tells the story of the creation of the Pop-Tart, with the film chronicling Kellogg's race to develop a breakfast toaster pastry. At one point in the film Don and Roger are hired by Kellogg's to launch an advertising campaign for the Pop-Tartwhich leads to a hilarious mad Men Parody.

However, it turns out that the gag is an unexpected sequel mad Men Season 4, Episode 6, “Waldorf Stories.” In the episode, Don Quaker presents a campaign for the cereal brand LIFE. Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story would then be Don's second pitch for a grain company, connecting the two stories in a humorous way.

Mad Men's Life Cereal Pitch was even more disastrous than Unfrosted's fake Don & Roger scene

The Pop Tart pitch was better

Although Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story is a funny comedy in which the cereal plays a role mad Men is even more disastrous than the Don and Roger scene in the film. In the mad Men Consequence, Don and Roger are drunk at the pitch meeting. This causes the meeting to go pretty badly, with Don saying a lot of bad slogans and Roger dancing around the room.

In Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, Don's overly sexual Pop-Tart voices aren't a hit, but it's nowhere near as bad as being drunk in front of Quaker. Interestingly, the timeline of Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story would actually play it before “Waldorf Stories,” meaning Kellogg's pitch may have made them confident that Quaker was in it mad Men.
