10 Ludicrous Moments From Otherwise Normal TV Shows

9. Mad Men €“ The Lawnmower

Mad Men Lawnmower Although its inclusion was clearly for comedy purposes, this is still a pretty odd scene to have in a drama about a 1960s advertising agency. The episode "Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency" sees Sterling Cooper secure a contract with agricultural machinery firm John Deere and have one of their ride-on lawnmowers in the office building. An employee drives it into the office but things don€™t get shocking until slightly inebriated secretary Joan Holloway gets her hands on it. In what has been called one of the show€™s most memorable scenes, Joan hops on the lawnmower and proceeds to accidentally drive it over executive Guy MacKendrick€™s foot, causing a huge spurt of blood to arc over the other employees before crashing into an office; smashing the window and knocking the door off its hinges. It€™s a very out there moment but one that you can€™t help laughing at for its sheer oddness.
