Mad Men, Season 5

Though to be fair, we haven?t seen much of Joan at all. She?s been lurking around the edges, giving Peggy romantic advice and shoring up Don?s ego and generally taking care of things. Much more present has been Stan Rizzo, the barrel-chested art director whose affable wit now carbonates most of the scenes at the office. The show rarely presents us with glimpses of Stan?s inner life (all we?ve learned this season is that he has a cousin in the Navy). A few commenters around the internet have complained that his ?Ozymandias? joke was unlikely. (When a Snoball-drunk Ginsberg gloats ?Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair,? Rizzo retorts, ?You should really read the rest of that poem, you boob.?) But Stan contains multitudes; why shouldn?t he read Shelley? As Slate commenter dylan111 noted:
