Ugh, Pete was a douche.
Best scene was when Peggy slapped his arse down telling him I could have had you if I wanted, but I put your baby up for adoption. Damn he cheated on the eve of his wedding.

Other favorite Pete moments : he tried to get Trudy to prostitute herself to her old boyfriend to get Pete's story published. He screwed the crazy lady in her own house and got the shite kicked out of him by her husband.

Maybe I'm missing something - how was Pete the greatest.

I hated Pete the first time I watched the show

Then when I rewatched he became one of my favorite characters. Can't really explain why

Uhh...yeah, he totally treats his hot wife like crap (Alison Brie) and he was a total douche in trying to blackmail Don to get ahead...and nobody gave a crap about him, even his adoptive parents...

But he kisses Don's arse constantly, the guy has no moral compass but from what he's been shown...this is how to be a guy. He is trying to make it in a world he has been shown.

Pete always seems like he is imitating the guy who gets ahead...copying him and he copies Don a lot.

And Pete is funny and frankly has great scenes in the show...that's why he's liked.

Signal 30 is Pete's best. Fights, wistfulness, shame, etc.

That episode when he's sitting in the driver's ed class and totally jealous of this young couple making out even though he just married a hottie and moved to the sticks....speaks volumes about what the writer is trying to say about that period. That scene reminded me of Reservation Road with Kate Winslet and DiCapprio.
