Fans who can’t get enough of the retro drama on AMC’s “Mad Men” can now be a part of it.

Digital entertainment studio JibJab has created “Mad Men Starring Yourself,” a groovy, customizable video short that lets show fanatics appear alongside – or even portray - some of the show's staple characters, like Don and Betty Draper, Joan Harris and ad exec Roger Sterling.

By uploading a few head shots, “Mad Men” devotees can create a mini film that recaps the show’s first three seasons and gets them geared up for the July 25 season 4 premiere. Even those who've have yet to get caught up in AMC's addictive series can enjoy it - JibJab also offers the option to have notables like President Barack Obama star as "Mad Men" characters.

It sounds ridiculous, but trust us, it's a supremely amusing time suck. The best part: Wearing those vintage ‘60s fashions won’t cost you a penny.
