Jenniferâs Saunders impression of Maggie Smith is hysterical. But then again, everything she does is brilliant.
Jennifer Saunders' Maggie Smith is better than Maggie Smith's Maggie Smith!! đ
Oh my gosh!! I didnât even realize that was Saunders - I kept thinking, whyâs she so familiar! I remember her from way before AbFab, when she made appearances alongside Dawn French on The Young Ones. LOL - she did a great Maggie Smith!!
I thought the same thing! LOLOL
@@RosePetal17 Wondering since it 2011 it's just appeared on my screen. I'm thrilled. Love the UK Comic Relief material.
Rgds NZ
@@martinen.5025 Pah! Never.
This is still hilarious 11 years later. So nuanced, so witty, so finely observed.
RIP Victoria Wood and Dale Wynton.
I was racking my brains to remember who that was --- Dale Winton -- thank you Emma S
I couldn't believe that when I saw him just now: He was in his element there. RIP Dale Winton, you cheered many up.
(And I simply cannot bear to write that Victoria Wood has also gone. Unbelievable. RIP Victoria Wood, you so many laugh so much)
ooooooooooooooooh my God I learned about this serries this year
and Michael Gambon.
I can't stop laughing at the staff's reaction when he says "They want tea!" (especially, the 2 maids running with a bicycle! lol)
HAHAHA omg i didnt notice them at first
@@benwusten5179 esp since there is actually NO tea!!! I didn't even notice that in Part one. LOL
Me too đđ
Every time the maids start running around đ đ
I was waiting for the Cook to throw flour in her face.
I have such new respect for Kim Cattrall. She has Coraâs voice, face, mannerisms DOWN!
Scott W Much better actress than we probably gave her credit for.. for most British people, I believe, know her only from SATC..a previous commenter mentioned her performance in My Boy Jack.. about Rudyard Kipling's son..I missed it but will definitely watch when I can.
She's amazing.
You mean she has them...DOWNton Abbey!
Sheâs British
@@mrsmacca126 I think she's from Manchester originally but I'm not sure how long she lived in England
"You get nowhere being a servant in one of these things" she says to future Academy Award winner, Olivia Colman.
How stupid are you, I mean JESUS. This is a parody.
@@filipzawistowski4390 Doesn't make it any less ironic though.
This was still a couple of years before her breakout on Broadchurch.
@@mnomadvfx Pretty sure she was famous in the UK from Peep Show and Green Wing before that, but okay.
đđđđ!
"I mean I have done theatre you know"
I love the fact that each time we see the cook she's a bit blinder!
I know, too funny...the last scene she was using a lettuce for a rolling pin ! LOL
That was hysterical.
I never noticed that
I KNOW đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
correct đ
2:32 "What a lovely lounge... I mean drawing room... obviously"
Best line in the whole sketch! Victoria Wood will always be a national treasure RIP
"Mama?"
"Mamama?"
"Ma ma ma mama?"
I think I broke a rib...
Same!!!! đ
Me too!
Yes, I'm sure I did!
I was eating when I heard that line....big mistake!đ€Ł
"I think it's because my hair is just... knitting." *sob*
Best line đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
It's the queen
Is there anything Olivia Colman canât do? Sheâs so fabulous
Apparently she can't do hair. It's just knitting. 3:46
She is s genius! In drama and comedy!!!
Olivia Colemanâs knitted hair kills me every time đđđđđ
Is it just me, or does Kim Cattrall do the best Elizabeth McGovern impersonation EVER?!
This was in 2011, she should have replaced Elizabeth
No, Brooke Shields does.
Q
Yes she does.
Beth Daniels yeah she sounds a lot like her. I didnât even realize that was her until you mentioned it
Pattmore's blindfolded and rolling dough with lettuce and the talking bear just about had me in a heap. Love it that the Brits can laugh at themselves like this...
Not a lettuce- spring cabbage
British comedy can never be topped!
She gets more and more blind every time she is in a scene
I love how the end says this will never end and 11 years later another Downton Abbey movie is coming out đ
let beside 2024...AND ANOTHER movie is just about beeing filmedđ
"Do you think we should have a period conversation?"
"NO I do NOT. There's going to be kiddywinkles watching" đđđđ
Help! What are "kiddywinkles"? :)
+pppmanly Kids
Lol...them kiddywinkles probably no more about period conversations than they do. đđ€Łđ€Ł
đđ
Modern people having a period conversation about the time period:
Cora: "Have tampons been invented yet, do y' think?"
Violet: "No, not until the Great War, and then only to staunch the bloodflow from battle wounds. We women won't benefit for another 20 years, at the earliest. I'm not affected any longer, of course, but I do feel for you and the girls. Not that _they_ will be able to use them until _after_ they're married."
Cora: _"Twenty years?_ Oh dear. Those poor women we're portraying, how ever did they manage without losing their minds? And no ibuprofen, I'll bet, either. And, no, I will not bar _any_ of my daughters from using tampons before they're married, if they want to use them. They're half American, after all."
Violet: "My dear, don't be so _middle class._ It doesn't become you."
There's some semi-factual history for the kiddiewinkles! đ
So glad I came across this. The more immersed you are in Downton, the cast members and the back story, the funnier it is. The stairs were hilarious, along with the ever prone Bates, and the progression of Mrs. Patmore's vision loss. lol
Congratulations on a well deserved 500th like 6 years too late.
"IÂŽve lost the baby, I slipped on some soap" "Soap, how very common"
I died laughing :)
Joanna Lumley waking down the stairs had me laughing like crazy!
Crying laughing at Joanna going down the stairsđđ
mickyjoe97 me too! Watched it 3 times!
Like crazy? Thank God not totally then.
wait is that Kim Cattrall, playing the Mum...lady of the mansion?
Me too. This lot have enough funny bones to make a complete skeleton. That business with the stairs is great.
The Julian Fellows portrayal is spot on - how has no one mentioned this yet!!! Simon Callow đđŒ
Simon Callow, super funny!
Oh gewd I didn't even notice
Fellowes.
â@@pattigee1đź now I have to go back and look, because I had no idea that was Gareth from 4W&AF
@@glamdolly30 Wasn't it (co-) written by Jennifer Saunders?
I feel sorry for the poor hedgehog they had to kill to give Olivia Colman that realistic O'Brien hair. đ
"Why are you so evil? I mean, I love it, but why?"
"I think it's mostly 'cause me hair's just knitting!" (sobs)
Love it!
best line ever!!!!!!!!
"Cake, sir? You put it in your mouth... and cheeeew." lol This is brilliant.
Cricket Corleone I keep having to watch the scene it's so funny
I know who wants to be The Cake
This is beyond anything. So funny I can't handle it đ đ đ
Lmfao I cackled so much!
I love how they get given tea in paper cups while waiting for.... tea haha
"I'm posher than you." đđđ
I have watched every episode of upstairs downstairs and Downton Abbey and I'm an American but this is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Bravo!
That knitted teddybear in the maid dress just killed me XD
"I'm trying to help, but I just can't reach! I can't reeeeeeach! Nooo *sobs*"
OMG, the voice! XD Hahaha!
4:36 Her reaction when she doesnt drop character has me in tears! đ€Łđ€Ł Tim...Tim... Tim Tatrell you can relax. Hahaha
I think it's because my hair's just knitting
Gigi Geniveve Real hair for Mrs O'Brien? Not on your nelleh!
xD!!
Gigi Geniveve taA
I always thought she said nitty as in full of nits :3
Oscar worthy.
NefariousJim, I absolutely love the actress who said that about her hair, though I don't know her name.
"...I've done theater you know!..." LOL
"I've lost the baby.." [crowd gasps]
[off screen] "Oops."
Dead.
"I've slipped on some soap."
"Soap? How very common..."
" đł' "
đ
Why do you have the same profile picture as me? What the hell?
@@chocolatepiano7366 you're soulmates
@@junjiefebtrangia7996 The travelling fortune teller never told me this was supposed to happen.
Kim Cattrall does fabulous Cora
Ikr
Yojiv Iriak even funnier because Kim Cattrall
is actually British
@@mrsmacca126 She has an English father, and has spent a lot of time in the U.K., but she grew up in Canada.
You mean Tim
Joanna Lumley....'I'm posher than you!' Just brilliant, I have just seen this for the first time and love every second. đ
Joana Lumley going downstairs killed me xD
Jennifer Saunder is brilliant as always! Her expressions are pricelessđ
And Kim Cattral is amazing in this Downtown Abbey spoof ^_^
that's Kim Cattral?? i tried so hardto recognise. she does Lady Grantham ao accuretly!
Joanna Lumley- subtle scene stealer.
Yes, they are both incredibly talented â€â€â€
I love that the housekeeper is named Mrs Danvers, just like the housekeeper in âRebecca.â Nice little reference there.
Sixth Jayhawk hahahahahaha
Rebecca is a great film.
Yes. Great classic. Thing is i was thinking. You know how um the first wife dies? I read it YEARS AGO . Anyway methinks she didn't die but survived the attempt on her life and goes back to haunt the servants . Weird how the girl does EVERYTHING the same as the first wife and how he tries again to do it again to a 'different ' wife?
Yes, I picked up on that straight away!
4:00 my fav scene "Why are you so mean?...I mean I love it..but why??"
So brilliant
That is not the reply.
"I think it's because me hair's just knitting"
I've never watched the proper show, but I'd definitely watch 5 seasons of this.
Olivia Coleman: âI think itâs because me hairâs just knittingâ đ Best. Line. Ever.
Aaah the lovely Victoria Wood & Dale Winton R.I.P. they were so special.
"She's got some airs and graces, that one. One whiff of being a goddess in a foreign clime and she's got above herself" (Joanna is officially a goddess in Nepal)
Thatâs superb.
Ah, that's what that meant! I was wondering. Thank you.
Oh, thank you! I hadn't got what she said! đ
Not officially. She was called a goddess (from Nepal)
I must shrine up my u tube account.
I laughed my arse off when the woman from How Clean Is Your House showed up! =D
"Tim! Tim! Tim Tatrall! They're going to be hours!" :-D
Why did she call her Tim?
@@TehEeveeGeneral The actress's name is Kim Cattrall, which rhymes with Tim Tattrall.
I died. 'Maggie Smith' is amazing!
Since nobodys mentioned Katy Wix as Sybil...I just love her!!
"I have important news to import of quite considerable importance to import." Oh my god, I couldn't stop laughing.
That's a sentence I'm DYING to use...on a daily basis!! đđ€Ł
âThey treat you like muck. Still, I suppose youâll be alright,
, you seem quite common.â
âAll that rich food...â
đđ€Łđđ€Ł
Olivia Coleman is genius! I cannot get enough of her acting and will watch her in anything!
To be fair, Joanna Lumley is literally one of the poshest people alive.
Too posh to be a house keeper. Olivia Coleman. Once a scullery maid now the Queen.
Proper!
@@Me-fo1kk Yes! And I adore Olivia Coleman! Her "knitted" hair! Rofl! And of course, if one has Jennifer Saunders, one must have Joanna Lumley!!
Yes, indeed. She sat a few seats along from me at The London Coliseum once. It was English National Opera's production of The Cunning Little Vixen and Joanna's husband conducted the orchestra. She's very graceful and elegant, a classy lady.
@@ursine121 Met her twice at charity auctions of wildlife art and Gary Hodges drawings for EIA/Born Free Foundation back in the 90s.. she's a huge wildlife conservationist..she was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.. great fun!
This should have won the Emmy for Best Drama Comedy. Absolutely funny as Hell!
Olivia Coleman, it's coz me hair is knittedđđ
The Zillit Bang being used on the chandelier XD
Joanna Lumley's final look at "All that rich food, I'll be scrubbing those toilets until midnight - I'll be chiseling it off." Priceless. Almost the same look of horror and revulsion Dame Edith Evans gave when her character realizes Mr. Worthing was found in a handbag. Would love to see Lumley play Lady Bracknell some time.
"I just want to spend less time in Ealing", that lines cracks me up!
Lumley and Callow together are smashing even in that short scene. âIâm posher than YOU!â
They got it spot on with the "this will go on for ever and ever" ending ccredits.
4:48 Tim... Tim.. Tim Tatral đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Tim Tattrall. đđđ
I love the random pointless faffing around when they're told to get tea :p
Fantastic!
3:51 Olivia Coleman! Who wouldâve known sheâd be playing the Queen of England in 2021!!
What a lovely lounge! **world stops spinning**
"you get nowhere being a servant in these things," Joanna Lumley said to Olivia Coleman.
This is so funny I can't stop laughing đ đ€Ł đ
Is it so wrong for me to say I would love it if this was a real series!!
It would be a major hit!!
The ending is fantastic!!! I fell out when Kim Woodburn came walking down the drive!!
I'll be chiseling it off!
When she said to Kim â you seem calmâ đđđ
I'm such a Downton Abbey fan, and this parody is hilarious. Everyone is so funny. PEACE to ALL.
"... though I suppose you'll do alright, you seem quite common." Lmao always love Joanna Lumley she's so great
2:31 - "What a lovely lounge" ---- Oh My God! She called it a "lounge". I just love the instant reaction, of the silence that is as loud as church bells. No one in the upper class calls that room a "lounge".
1:53 Roaring with laughter as the entire staff are taking the tea upstairs lol đ€Łđđđ
What a great cast and a superb parody - the 'behind the scenes' stuff is so funny esp Joanna Lumley approaching the writer 'I'm posher than you!!' - great stuff
This is one of the best things I've ever seen, especially O'Brien's hair. I really hope they make more!!!
"Don't you think we should be having a period conversation?"
"No, I do not. There's going to be kiddiewinkles watching this."
lmao
@ 4:19 If the tea comes from Ealing does that make it Darj Ealing tea?
( ÍĄ~ ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°)
You win the Internet today. Good one! đđ
I was trying to think of something along those lines!
Ba-dum-tiss! đ„đ€Ł
No.
I loved at the end , the replacing of the upstairs maid with the TV cleaning lady, it cracked me up..
âIâll be chiselling it offâ was the fatal blowâ°ïž These clips are gold
Hilarious...every bit of this little production. Olivia Colman and her knitted hair had me laughing out loud.
I miss Victoria Wood đđđđ Sheâs a legend and pioneer of comedy đđđđ Still canât believe sheâs no longer with us ....
Just thinking that too. đ
Joana Lumley is hilarious in this sketch!!! Forthwith đ
@p a I agree, pretty common word.. but a lot of these comments are from Americans.. they've simplyfied the English language to within an inch of it's life...my Bostonian friends, whom spend six weeks a year, every year, (WELL, not THIS one, obviously!) in London, go into paroxysms of laughter and delight if I use a word like, 'wallop', ("you're going to get such a wallop in a minute if you don't fill that wineglass up, pronto!")...đ
@@martinen.5025 At least we know how to spell "simplify" and the difference between "it's" and "its." (Said in good humor.)
Can't believe I never saw this before- it is so clever!!!! Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley do an amazing job. Really, everyone does. What a pleasure.
6:42 This is a reference to the fact that in the introduction used in the first season, the bell was silent, but they added a ringing bell noise from season two forwards.
Johanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders are as always 'absolutely fabulous'!
3:48 - You're looking at the next Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown", Olivia Colman.
Omg I didn't realise it's her until you mentioned it.
You know Olivia Colman has been famous forever, right?đđđ
And future/past Iscar winner!!
@@audreykoskei4072 Americans only just discovered her and now act like she was obscure beforehand lol.
I've been watching her in Peep Show since like 2004 thanks.
"What a lovely lounge"
"I mean drawing room, obviously"
Favorite part
+Brian Moore ditto!
I think it's a parody on that commercial about the jam
The music making a dead halt added to its hilarity..
Brian Moore Still technically the Saloon but okay lol
That idea was used in an old Monty Python sketch.
The ending with Kim...genius XD
Daisy Chambers 0
That was shady when Joanne called Kim common at the end
*âWhy are you so mean?â*
*âI think itâs because me hair is just knitting.â*
I love Downton Abbey, and this is hilarious! Love the girls from Ab Fab in it
The Knitted Character: "I can't reach"
The Knitted Character is awesome :)
The Hand Made.. lol
I want one.
Tears running down my face in hilarity - 10 years later this is still freaking hilarious!
Hello đhow are you doing?
I love the progression of Mrs. Patmore's blind glasses, also using fouets and cabbages to punch the bread dough
What a lovely lounge! * Everybody stares annoyed * I mean drawing-room, obviously... lol
LOST it at the knitted hair! That'd such a great send-up.
Olivia Coleman playing a meanie? NEVER!
This parody was absolutely fabulous. Jennifer Saunders mercilessly skewers Maggie Smith's Dowager, and Joanna Lumley is hilarious as a riff on Mrs. Hughes.
Much better than the original, THIS should have been it's own series.
These two sketches are the funniest things I have ever seen. I was laughing so loud that my landlady knocked on my door to see WTF I was laughing about.
I love the reaction on Kim Catrall's face when Mrs. Danvers says she belongs with everyone upstairs!
1:37 Bates is so Bates đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
"Cake sir. You put it in your mouth and chew." hahhahahah
Eight years later and I'm still laughing. Also still spotting people taking part who I hadn't noticed before - Do my eyes deceive me or is that Dale Winton explaining cake eating?
The late, great, lovely, Dale Winton đą
Yes lovely to see Dale Winton â€
âTea, tea! They want more tea!â Pandemonium...
Kim Woodburn at the end "You Horrible Horrible people, Have you got the Keys ?"
The fact that they filmed this inside Highclere Castle is an absolute coupâŁâŁâŁâŁ Jennifer Saunders is my IDOLâŁâŁâŁâŁ
Dawn French is just a HOOTâŁâŁâŁ
Kim Cattrall is a genious!
also Marry's face expressions..
amazing!
"Uhhhh, a job.... Who's your agent?" đ
05:01 I just realized she voiced the Fairy Godmother from Shrek here
4:56~5:04
Genius absolutely brilliant
