Must See: Watch the Blaxploitation Version of 'Mad Men'

This parody of the popular series is "Don-o-mite!"

Real-life ad agency Leroy & Clarkson wonders, what if Mad Men were a Blaxploitation film?

The critically-acclaimed drama—premiering its final season this Sunday on AMC—has long been criticized for not having enough diversity on the cast, or in the social issues tackled. In this hilarious, and F-bomb-riddled (we warned you!) parody, characters like Don Draper and Roger Sterling get a Blaxploitation makeover—their names are now Don-O-Mite and Slim Sterling. There’s also Pete “the Soup Man” Campbell, and Sugar Hills Holloway. Our girl Peggy Olson is now a trash-talking sassy sista named Black Peggy. 

Watch the parody and let us know what you think.
