Mad Men [1] has been called a lot of things — groundbreaking, prestigious, subtle — but it's rarely called funny. However, watching the show for the past seven seasons, I know I've laughed many times, either at something that's genuinely funny or something that was unintentionally funny (and, often, very uncomfortable). With the series coming to an end in this Sunday, we're saluting the moments that have made us giggle while watching the most esteemed of television programs.
