Thomas Barrow being my favourite character for 6 minutes straight

- I have no excuse other than the fact that I love him and that he is my favourite downton character.
I wanted to try my hand at a bit of video editing and this is what came out. I am in no way a great editor and barely got this video out. It's just for funsies and very self-indulgent.

Thomas: I HATE EVERYONE
Literally any child: *appears*
Thomas: :)

“It’s your one redeeming quality… that and your cheekbones.”
Imagine, Master George's relationship with Thomas would be like Mr. Carson and Mary. Thinking about this makes my heart melt.
I honestly love to headcanon this ;0; Just imagine George looking for emotional-support in Thomas in trying times ;;
And Sybbie’s
Oh my gosh, I had the same thought ever since they showed Thomas loved the kids a lot, and the kids loved him back! I know he still doesn't look like he likes the Crawleys, but that's because his loyalty lies with George and Sybbie, not Mary and the adults who don't like him back
@@Awakening_Sunshine Definitely also Sybbie. He liked her mother and she's the eldest of the children
@@PichuElric exactly. Unfortunately we never really saw his interactions with Marigold
Barrow’s best line is clearly when Bates mentions giving his left arm for Anna to be released from prison. Barrow: “I don’t think that would be sensible, we can’t have you wobbly at both ends *snaps rifle into place*”
I burst out laughing everytime I see that scene, especially since Bates kinda glares in the background 😂
this is my fav also!!!!! hes such a smartass!!!!!
wobbly @ both ends!!!!
that just kills me!!!!
& bates look 😳😒afterwards just says it all!!!!
lmao!!!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@SunDarling369 same😂
My favorite too. Its the one time his remark was more playful than mean spirited.
😂😂
The thing about Thomas is that he can be hard to like, but he's *impossible* to hate.
Outside of season 1 anyway.
I hated him for SUCH a long time but then him >>>
IMPOSSIBLE??? I LITERALLY HATE HIM SM
@@Crafyeet You can't hate him totally. I mean, you CAN, like you're ALLOWED TO, but I just think that if you really immerse yourself in the story and study his character and why he is the way he is... once you understand him, you can't hate him. Like I said, you might not LIKE him, but there are likable things about him.
I hated him. He was horrible and nasty, often with no reason, just for the pleasure of it. He and O'Brien were true horrors. His change in the later seasons was not credible
Please the way he’s literally like 😀 ‘what?’ When the nanny told him not to touch the baby
Like how even dare she
🎩
👁️👄👁️
@@annie10103 ahahahahahahaha
😂😂
with that one word he said "listen you old mullet, I'm about to burn your house to the ground and leave your life a flaming ruin and when you come crawling to me begging for help, it will be my greatest pleasure to deny you and leave you to rot, whilst I go give the children donkey rides"
I love when Rob and Allen have to be salty towards each other cause they're besties irl and it shines through in their eyes sometimes 😂
I wished they had more scenes together, their dynamic would be very interesting plus Rob and Allen would be delighted to do more scenes with each other I am sure!
@@kiinadi tbh I just ship Tom and thomas 😂 someone should do one of these videos but just brotp moments of Allen and Rob. And one with Grantham and his dogs.
@@admiralnova2253 abzbaj I do too. It's my favourite downton ship ;0; The potential they could have had post season 6. And I may have something else planned soon hehe!
@@admiralnova2253 wait- I’ve never thought of that ship omfg it’s so cute😭
Thank you. I was a fan of Barrow from the first episode, lol. He's such a sassy, snobby, scheming, but also sensitive, caring, brave, and complex character. He's quite handsome too. I love this!
He is a complex character and - to quote Rob James Collier himself very much "misunderstood!"
Hes a grey character wich makes him interesting
But when it matters hes a good guy
The high cheekbones could slash you indeed.
Yes😍😍
È odioso altroché
-“Please don’t touch the children, not without my permission.”
-“WHOT”
😂
It’s the eyes 👀
I love how Thomas was such a dick in the first season, and then by the time we got to Nanny West we were just rooting for him to ruin her. Say what you will about him with everyone else, but he always protects those kids.
100% he was an ass to nearly everyone but he loved those kids more than life
Exactly. It wasn’t possible to see his first meeting George because of the 6 month time jump between seasons 3 and 4, but I would’ve LOVED to see a scene after Sybil’s death where Thomas held baby Sybbie and whispered a promise to Sybil that he would guard and protect Sybbie with his life in gratitude for Sybil’s kindness to him. He wasn’t as close with Matthew, but Matthew was also polite and kind to him in the trenches… I’m sure he also vowed to Matthew at his funeral that he’d always protect George.
THE FACT THAT U CALLED THOMAS A TWINK OMFG
I had to sneak it in there avxgsva
He's afraid he's been a silly boy
She wasn’t wrong tho
He's a daddy!!
4:50 this mf scene is just 😭 lmao
"I was cheering him up" MASTER GEORGE I CAN NOT DEAL WITH THE ADORABLENESS OF IT ALL!!!
The way George calls him "Mr. Bowoe" is the cutest thing ever!
1:37 HIS LITTLE TEACUP IM WHEEZING. Thomas babe you’re too fruity for your own good
He is my favorite because he has the most depth of all the characters. He isnt always good, and isnt always bad, and he learns, and matures, and grows.
First time I laid eyes on him I knew he was gonna be that one character I'll be waiting on every screentime
Weird how he was so good with the kids. Hated every adult he didn't fancy, but loved the kids.
Thomas thinks that everyone has an agenda and is opposed to him (probably because of bad experiencesin the past), whether that is actually true or not.
The children are "innocent"; they don't know of the things he's done or that he's gay and don't hold these things against him.
It's not weird, it's the same reason some people love animals but otherwise seem very hateful to others
it’s just because because kids were the only ones who he thought wouldn’t hate him
For anyone who wonders why Thomas is the way he is with the adults, look no further than Carson calling him foul. That was the general opinion about homosexuals and homosexuality at the time, not to mention the risk of arrest. Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years of Hard Labour because he was homosexual. Most people who know of Thomas' orientation would treat him as a pariah. That does tend to make one rather bitter. It is only after he starts being treated with understanding that he is able to allow people closer to him. Part of the nasty was to keep people at a distance so they would be less likely to figure out who he was attracted to.
He probably was starting to regret pushing the adults around him away and feeling so lonely as a result (which he says later, he had only himself to blame for being lonely because he never gave anyone a reason to like him). So he wanted to immediately make a good impression on the kids. Also, he shows a lot of the behavioral tendencies of someone who was abused as a child, so, especially knowing Sybbie had no mother and George had no father, he wanted to be sure the children never felt neglected or unloved for a moment.
Person: Breathes
Thomas: W h a t?
"Only technically." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love Barrow's sass.
I love that Quip.
I just finally finished this series (thank you USA Netflix.) and honestly the character development in Thomas is amazing. I hated him the first season but by the end he was my favorite. And his snark is the best.
His development is really good in my opinion and he managed to steal all our hearts!
If you Loved the series, then you gotta watch the movie. The sequel is due out either in December 2021 or in Spring 2022. 🤞🏾
@@m.layfette6249 oh I did!
1:53 WHOT? 😬 The way he says it kills me
an absolutely underrated gem of a character that deserves so much better
1:53 his reaction gets me every time 😂 this truly is all I ever wanted, thank you for this 🧡
Same it's so perfect 😂 And thank you for watching!
The way Thomas gets Nanny West sacked was PURELY DELIGHTFUL!!
Thomas and the babies is the sweetest thing of all time.
The fanfics people have written where Thomas comforts George when he has nightmares and tells him stories about his daddy Matthew… ❤😭 this fandom is the best.
my favorite is when bates said he'd give his left arm to have anna out of prison, and thomas said, we can't have that, they've you'd be wobbly on both sides.
Thomas to Mrs. Denker : “BYEEE FELICIAAAA” that’ll teach her lesson for manipulating Andy for free drinks lmao 🤣
1:53 that 'what' is so freaking iconic
“Awww kids, so cute!…”
“Don’t touch them without my permission”
“😀… what”
Now I’m even more obsessed with him😭😭 He really is the most interested character on the show❤️😏
Heheh you are welcome! 🥴 And he truly is 🥺
@@kiinadi 🥰🥰
i loved his character arc so much, he just needed people to be kind to him
He needed to be sure the people around him were not about to report him to the police if/when they learned of his homosexuality. Two years hard labour, not to mention dismissal without a character, would mean no future at all. He would be a totally unemployable pariah.
Thomas will forever be my favorite Downton Abbey character- He’s been through so much shit, yet still manages to be effortlessly hilarious and sassy as fuck. As another mentally ill gay, I strive to have that flawless attitude lmaO-
Nothing made me happier than to see this work of ART of a compilation in my recommended! Great work!! :DDD
What alignement would Barrow be. I'd imagine he starts as a Lawful Evil character and slowly drifts into Neutral Evil then True Neutral then Neutral Good?
I think that alignement sounds about right. I want to say he ends up as chaotic good, but chaotic doesn't seem to fit Thomas heh
beg to differ. him throwing monkey wrenches into every situation he could get his hands on is definitely chaotic in some way 😂
He starts as Lawful evil but ends up in the cusp of neutral and Chaotic good.
thomas is chaotic netutral fs
everytime thomas smiles an angel gets his wings
I lobe that, "I prefer not to be a SORT OF..." I was so proud of him in that scene
He is one of my favorite characters because of his extreme vulnerability. Yeah but early in the series he really irked me. I love how this character developed.
hes the best character to ever exist in downton istg :D
He is
I agree.
Watching Downton I had doubts about Thomas until he saved Edith. He just wants to be loved, and his misbehavior in the beginning was just that
He probably hoped for a while that O’Brien actually cared for him but then he realized the truth when she tried to toss him to the wolves in season 3. Good riddance to her for getting the heck out of his life.
My favorite moment was when Daisy sabotaged the food and didn't get to put the stuff in the next meal. Thomas quips "Well at least we would've all been regular."
I miss this show. 😮😢
Thank you for making this 💜 Thomas is iconic and you have captured him in all his endless glory ❤
Thank you for thinking so ;; ❤
He makes me laugh when he insults people with a smile, like when he tells nanny West, "do it yourself why don't ya", then smiles and tips his hat to her. LOL
He makes the show
Rob james collier is just the most wholesome man in the world i love him on downtown and ackley bridge and hes even my lock screen on my phone hes that gorgeous 😂😭
I also adore Rob, his beautiful personality, and of course his adorable quirky expressions, and gorgeous face!! On my channel, I have made some fan videos of Rob (for example 'Rob being blank for blank minutes straight') and one of Martin Evershed from Ackley Bridge (which I hope to make into a series). It would be super cool if you checked out my channel as well! Have a great day!
You know someone's a good person when they love kids.
Barrow is the man you want guarding your back...but you wear back armor anyway, just in case.
@0:35 Carson has to check if there's drool on his shoulder or not. Honestly, Mr. Permook did look like the type to go either way.
Oh thank you! Thomas has always been my favourite and his sassy comments that you've highlighted in this has had me in hysterics.
Thomas has so many different shades of grey (and of course white) and that's what makes me love this character more than anything.
A glorious ending of a glorious Vid. Thank you for making and for uploading and sharing with us. I always was sorry for Thomas because I thought he would like to be just an accepted part of the staff and does not know how.
Thank you for your kind words!! Tbh Thomas has put up huge walls and a very prickly exterior, but inside he jist wants to be loved and belong :( Unfortunately he used to be so driven by envy, which often led to jis own demise.
My favorite is “does it ever occur to you that JUST THIS ONCE you might be wrong” 😭😭😭😭
He’s one of my favorite TV characters of all time 🥰🔥😂
The bit where he storms out the room and Roberts just like “Now barrow-“ He’s like a child storming off cuz he couldn’t get sweets or something and roberts like his dad 💀
Not so straight got me dying 🤣, love his character to, he's supposed to be a villain, but he has a good side to. LOVE DOWNTON ABBEY AHHHH ❤❤❤❤❤❤
NGL BRANSON AND BARROW WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER AFTER LADY SYBILS PASSING
I think I've watched this video over 20 times already. Can't get enough of Thomas
*My FAVOURITE Downton character!* 😍 #teamthomas
Possibly the best 6 minutes of my life! 😊😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Joanne from Singapore 🇸🇬❤️
HES My FAVORITE....he's many faceted....arrogant...snobbish ..seemingly untrustworthy...BUT .he's also extremely empathetic......and easily hurt.....and whoda thunk it....can be VERY KIND....he has a HEART..he was just under the thumb of that wicked witch of the lower eschalot......thank goodness she just up and left.....BARROWS IS.alsi very handsome..and he has an interesting way of smoking........yep lll TAKE BARROWS
2:44 that tremble of fear in his voice lmao
Thomas mentioned briefly to Baxter that his father was never kind to him, a very subtle but effective indication that he was abused as a child (probably because his father figured out he was gay). So, he now wants to personally ensure that Sybbie and George *NEVER* feel neglected or unloved like he did at their age.
Thomas gives me loki energy!
OMG YASS
PEOPLE MAKE THESE MEMES FOR DOWNTON ABBEY??? AND I'M ONLY FINDING THIS NOW??? THE CZcams ALGORITHM HAS FAILED ME UNTIL NOW, THIS IS PERFECTION
Just finished the series and the movie. Barrow was my total favorite from the very beginning, I just love him!! And the way he behaves with the kids, he's a sweetheart. ❤️❤️❤️And of course he's so yummi :))
I've been waiting for someone to make a Thomas video like this! Good job!
Thank you!!
Loved the last scene! Barrow as hero!
Please take me seriously when I say I absolutely LOVED this edit 😂 The end part was hilarious
Thomas is my absolute favorite character of the whole series his comments are so FUNNY
I've not seen the first movie, only the series and the second movie. So I have never seen that scene where Thomas is giving sass to Robert. OMG!! What a scene he made!!! In more ways than one.
Rob Collier is not only talented, he's a total babe!!!
No conocía a este gran actor. Tan hermoso y talentoso 💚
i love how he is CONSTANTLY on the verge of getting sacked and always happens to do something heroic to get out of it. what an icon
I loved it when Thomas n Mrs o Brien join together to act on some devious plot.
my fav character
When Thomas acted human, like with Nanny West, or saving Edith, saving Andy or saving Jimmy, playing with the kids--those were my favorites.
Best video for the best character ever!! 💙☔
Thank you for this ! Preparing to watch the new movie so I needed a Thomas recap 😂
Yay! This was so fun to watch!! I LOVE Thomas, especially when he got Nanny West sacked!! 🙂
Ahhhhhhhhhh happy Thomas dancing with daisy😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for this is really needed something to smile at :)
So good to hear this man managed to do that ❤
1:54 Willy Wonka vibes
👁🫦👁✨
Yes I love you so much for this video!!! Thank you!!!😍😍
This was great. Loved it! 🤣💗
I love him ! fabulous character !
After 6 seasons and one ( just amazing) film I can absolutely claim that Thomas is the most beloved character for me. I prayed for his happiness. And wish that he will meet it again in the next film. Oh my Lord, just please! I am begging!
Thomas, lady Violet and Edith are the reasons why I watch and love Downton Abbey.
Thank you, thank you! Thomas is my favourite character too. Something some of my friends have not understood LOL. Thank you so much for the work you put into editing this video. I just wish I could stand that music lol. But I love what you did truly I do. Thank you.
Bloody love him!
Best 6 minutes of my saturday evening, thank you
Ok I’m having a rough night and this made me happy thank you 🥺🥺💕💕💕
LOL this is not what I expected to find today but I'm SO GLAD I did. Truly such a dynamic character. So dislikable that he becomes completely endearing.
You missed the best line .. when Bates says he’d give his right arm to help Anna and Thomas replies “ we can’t have you wobbly at both ends” 😂😂
Thomas is so sweet with the kids 🥺🥺🥺
LMAO THE FIRE SCENE🔥💀
thomas barrow they could never make me hate u !!!!
I haven't even seen some of these scenes but it has made me look forward to every episode I watch now 😂
@Kinadi. You did a great job, thank you ! Thomas was My favourite character. What a handsome guy !🙋🇬🇧
Love this character
Crazy to think that I absolutely hated him the first season! Now he’s my favorite character from the entire show!
I was so happy in the second downton film I want to see more 😭
iconic. im so glad this popped up on my feed
I was waiting for Thomas' rather funny quip when Mr. Molesley kept interrupting him bullying Baxter.
Barrow: * bullying Baxter *
Molesley: Can I join?
Barrow: Do you have to?
But the "too fat" tease he gave Mrs. Patmore had me in stitches too. 😂
I absolutely love Thomas with little kids ❤️🥺🥺🥺
