Hilarious

From two reviews of the latest episode of Mad Men, "The Arrangements":

I've read some complaints this season about the commercial breaks popping up seemingly at random. Watching the episodes on screeners, I have to admit that there often doesn't seem an obvious "act-out" moment to lead into an ad, but this episode had a hilarious one: After Don takes away the Prussian helmet, Gene shows Bobby a woman's fan, smiles, and says, "There was this girl..." Cut to black.

--The New Jersey Star-Ledger

Two things that have become almost hilarious this season: The choices of where to insert ad breaks have come to seem almost arbitrary (to the point where one in this episode – after Gene says, “There was this girl …” – seemed to cut a scene off before it was finished) ...

--The House Next Door

For the record, the Star-Ledger gets it right. That's a curtain line if I ever heard one.
