Check out Jon Hamm's predictably endearing advice to teenage girls
By James Brady RyanMay 10th, 2012, 2:00 pmComments (2)Jon Hamm is obviously great on Mad Men and obviously great on 30 Rock — seriously, how has he not won an Emmy yet? — but did you know he's also great in real life? (You probably did.) Frighteningly accomplished teen Tavi Gevinson got Don Draper himself to participate in Rookie Mag's ongoing video series "Ask A Grown Man" — which previously featured such other great dudes as Paul Rudd, Hannibal Buress, and BJ Novak — and he proved to be pretty sage when it came to young girls' dating advice. Ladies: Jon Hamm is totally cool with your farts. Let it be known.
Oh, Jon. I hope the scientists who made you are patting themselves on the back today, because it takes effort to be so wise, so amusing, and so casually hot.
Also, dear teenage girls (and guys, actually): Please follow this advice! Just do your own thing, and follow your own interests, and get good at the stuff you love, and eventually you'll find someone who is chill with all your awesome weird stuff. Sadly, that person will not be Jon Hamm, but you'll deal.

How has he not won an Emmy yet? Bryan Cranston.
I love Jon Hamm...in comedies (and real life), but he's just not that great at dramatic acting and everyone knows it. He's charming and handsome and has good comedic timing, but Mad Men's shit.
On the other hand, Bryan Cranston is equally good as "the dad on Malcolm in the Middle" and Walter. Don Draper is bland, and all the supposed subtle intricacies of his character are lost on me because he is ALWAYS wearing the same expression: mildly pissed off. I love seeing him in real life and in comedies because he's not frowning. His eyes light up the moment he steps off the Mad Men set.
Jon Hamm has the easiest job in the world. He just shows up, memorizes a few lines, and makes out with beautiful women. Bryan Cranston plans his character's development and improvises on camera. He decided how Walter would look. He gained ten pounds, stayed out of the sun for a while, and grew a stupid mustache.
Bryan Cranston isn't better than Jon Hamm. They both just do different things. Jon Hamm: stick with Kristen Wiig.
Yeah, yeah, and I liked the video.
Now you say something
