So, maybe Don Draper doesn't always get the ladies... In anticipation of the premiere of the final season of "Mad Men," this little gem surfaced on YouTube today. It's a video of Jon Hamm on the dating show "The Big Date," which aired back in the 90's, when Hamm was just 25 years old. And it is fantastic. Hamm, in his full 90's floppy-haired glory, vies for the affection of a girl with a self-professed foot fetish.

What a difference an edit makes! After the finale episode of "How I Met Your Mother" ended, Facebook and Twitter—nay, the whole Internet—was mad about it. And so were we.
