This Week in Awesome (5/11/13)

Back where it belongs, and full of internet-y goodness...

Everyone's probably seen this by now, since it's from last week, but local commercials really are the best. (Rhett and Link)

Remember a couple of episodes ago on Mad Men when the realtor told Peggy that when the Second Avenue subway was finished, the apartment she was considering buying would quadruple in value? That was 1968. 45 years later, they're still digging the tunnel. (TechGraffiti via The Nanigans)

One good thing about getting older: the benefit of hindsight. (Esquire via Put This On)

Don Draper somehow time-warped into the 1980s. (Videogum)

This tumblr attempts to distill movies to just nine frames each. (Laughing Squid)

And finally this week, another TV ad, though this one's not local. Why can't all commercials be this good? (Jalopnik)
