“The heir to Uptown Downstairs Leonardo DiCaprio was on that damn boat...And has almost inevitably drowned right at the end”

"Maid in China. She's not here at the moment, obviously."
I died. XD
Thx now I got it 😂😂
@@silsila2529 yep she's in China🤣
OMG!!!! MAID! in china I just got it!!!!
Funny as hell! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
how have i missed this for 11 years?
“You won’t change me...”
“WE CANT TALK NOW! THE MUSIC HAS STARTED!” Lol
You'll soon learn our ways, Mr. Crawler! 😂😂
Amy O so funny!
I died when Sibyl says "Hi really cool to meet you"
omg
I love this actress. She is in An Fab the secretary who looks in the records to find Patsy's name so that she can claim her pension. She was marvelous. She says"back back back to Dinusors age"
Plausible, as she is a 1920s jazz aficionada.
Pizzalover Oh! I want to look her up. What’s her name? Thanks
@@pizzalover885 Jane Horrocks is the assistant in An Fab...I don't remember this actress being in it?
Katy Wix
Kim Catrall should get an award for this. Best Cora ever. Also, Joanna Lumley for the win. "Just a little gloss." Fantastic.
Whoa! That was Kim Cattrall?!?!? I didn't get at first why she mentioned Sex & the City 😂
I didn’t even realize that that was her at first!
I did not know it was KC until you mentioned it. lol.
However, I can bring my granddaughter to tears laughing at my impression of Cora -- it looks as though I'm about to have a seizure.
kim knocked it out of the park.
Man, she NAILED Cora
Agreed.
CeeEemDee Dees Indeed!
Purrrrfect!
Of course she did. Samantha Jones nails everything.
@@AngelofMusic04 ah HA!
A good servant retains a sense of pride and prejudice at all times.
...and zombies.
... and a well worn leather-and-gilt bound edition.
What do you know about servants?
That's what Meagain couldn't get used to!
Some sense & sensibility would be nice too
The Brits put more effort into their parody acting than us Americans put into regular TV shows XD
I will not disagree, the Brits do many things better than Americans
Then make an effort
😂😂😂
Exacto, nunca mejor dicho.
I think that’s why the parody works because it looks near perfect
Jennifer Saunders is hilarious.
“Yes but don’t you CARE about upstairs down ....stairs.....town ....uptown ...Upstown Top Ranking Robert?”
I've watched several times and each time Jennifer just makes my eyes tear up. She is great. 😂😂😂 PEACE to ALL ... and STAY SAFE and HEALTHY.
totally hilarious! Her performance is so detailed. I watched this moment over and over and it just gets funnier the more you watch and see the overplayed mannerisms, Wonderful Jennifer. Joanna Lumley also brilliant in this. Love them both.
Uptown Top Ranking 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻
5:16 "Daughter number 2." "Oh thanks, thanks a lot." We laugh because it's funny, and we laugh because it's true. Poor Edith.
The Crawley spare heiress flat tire.
Lady Hedith
Oh my goodness, so true 😭😭😹😹
Sadly she was overlooked on the show
@@LucyLovettLestrange She was my favorite character at the end-She blossomed became more sure of her self and more beautiful and I don’t get what the hype is about Mary because I don’t think she’s pretty at all
"Who will inherit this house, and my 'Sex and The City' millions?" - love it!
that was back when she was still happy to be part of that show
@@zimzimzalabim
She was never happy. This was just before she went extremely public
@@achanwahn I bet she was happy when it was time to receive those paychecks. Don't believe everything these celebrities say.
@@zimzimzalabim
Yes, b/c fortune is only defined by happiness tied to wealth. & we all know that kind of happiness overshadows all kinds of malcontent.
@@achanwahn yes, fortune, wealth and happiness can be closely related to each other. And you wouldn't know because you're not a rich celebrity. You hear them whine about their first world problems and take their words at face value, always considering the source.
I feel a sudden urge to watch Downton Abbey again.
I got the same urge while watching the movie last weekend.
Same here.
Right?! I’m rewatching season 2 now to get inspiration.
Yes
This set looks so similar to the real thing.the attention to detail!
*Thomas kicks Bates' cane*
*Bates falls directly downwards*
"Oh! I'm so evil.."
lol
I needed that laugh right now.
I laughed so hard at that, i'm a terrible human lol
Thomas is so remarkable that I actually forgot in the episode it was O'Brien to trip Bates
O'Brian's hair kills me every time omg :D
I thought that was Olivia Coleman for a sec 🤣🤣🤣
6elfauno9 OMG, I did, too, till that last scene.
It is her! :) She now has an Academy Award.
it is Olivia!!!!
it's just knitting
I love British humor so much. That random burping of Carson is hilarious.
Also, never thought Kim could do anything else other than Samantha but she nailed Cora. 😂
What the actual feck are you on about??? Are you taking the mickey??? Not British, English and yes there is a difference...cor blimey...
She was so good as Cora, if they ever need sickness cover
British humor is hilarious 😂😂😂
3:47 🤣 just kills me
Well you should cleanse yoursef of all the bias, Kim has done many roles/projects, not just Samantha. don't typecast actors in your head
Mary is spot on, so severe and disapproving and troubled about everything. It really was such a soap opera.
Sadly, I'm not familiar with the actress portraying "Mary", but her mannerisms and facial expressions are so Mary!!! So funny!! All the characters were great!!! 😂 PEACE to ALL.
@@sheilaburns8977 Sarah Solemani. She’s fabulous
"Oh, I'm so evil!" cracks me up every time.
Vivienne da Silva RIP DALE WINTON
DR ALEXIS ROSENBERG such a shame he was a lovely guy
Lovely to see Dale Winton ❤
Genius. Actually, the more you love the show, the more you're bound to love the parody.
100%
AGREE!!!
The fact they got some many awesome actors to play such silly sketch is amazing :) love how Olivia almost goes by unnoticed here. Guessing this was pre Oscar.
5+ years pre-Oscar
Anyone notice Olivia Coleman as OBrien? 😂
😲
O'Ryan. Lol
paulmcelroy81 Yes! Any time I watch the crown I think of this
It's crazy to think she went from doing a parody for a hit tv show to winning the most coveted acting prize in the world. I'm not sure if she was even as well known as the actress who actually played O'Brien.
Yes!!! 😹😹😹😹 Can’t handle this.
I just learned Jennifer Saunders was the writer of this masterpiece. Well done!
Joanne August you can imagine that its her humour definitely
Jennifer is hilarious as the Dowager. Actually, everyone was so funny. I love Downton Abbey and this parody was great. PEACE to ALL ... and STAY SAFE and HEALTHY.
Is there more of this stuff?
@@whotelakecity2001
Yes! Look for Part Two & Part Three
@@whotelakecity2001
Also look for other Red Nose Day comedy scripts, such as, Mamma Mia Red Nose Day.
Tom The Evil Footman: I'm so evil.
Goldfish must love you.
"Hello gorgeous " cracked me up lol
Hahaha it’s hysterical!
This is hysterical. The part with the list of maids was too funny. 😂😂😂
yeah :D Made in China and mermaid ahahaha
Then Bates goes for a burton. Love it!!
I was so distracted by the spot-on impression of Cora that it took me a bit to realise who the actress is. Holy crap.
Likewise!
I could easily see her playing the real Cora
Who is the actress? She sounds exactly like Elizabeth McGovern
Themanwhocameback2 Kim Cattrall - used to be in Sex and the City.
THANKS. I never saw that show, or the spinoff films. She manages to sound just like Liz McGovern
I love how Mrs. Hughes character shifts between a brawny Scottish accent and a posh English one. XD
"Brawny"--great synesthesia.
I love how they changed her name to Danvers. :D
That’s hilarious!!! 😹😹😹
@Serai3 I'd love to see Joanna play Mrs Danvers. I magine her spitting the line "It should be you in that grave, not Mrs De Winter!"
"No you can't speak now, the music has started..!"
As an actress the subtext thing killed me! 5:55
Really?
That took me out too 🤣🤣🤣
I saw a sketch once about an actor's workshop. They were all being very stereotypical and earnest. One had the line "Why don't you just f off and die?" And turned to the director and said "I'm having difficulty finding the subtext here."
In my mind, the brown feather-duster is THE most iconic prop in perhaps all of cinema.
Every time I clean the lustre in the living room, suddenly the main theme of Downton Abbey comes to my mind. :)
Gábor Vág lol! is it brown?
Bobo Uzala No, it has many bright colours.
Ugh, how common. :)
I know this is old, but I beg to differ. Tis O'Brian's sideburns.
Love the crewman pushing the car xD
And then trying to hide out of the shot. 😄😄😄
that is a classic thing that happens in French and Saunders Movie or TV show parodies
This is truly the best spoof cast of Downton out there. Catrell is doing a spot on vocal. Saunders and Lumley.... Perfection.
"Maid in China, obviously she's not here at the moment"
Sad I’m Chinese
@@hugowang8650 ...you miss the witticism here....made in China.
Obviously 😁
Hugo Wang, the witticism is that the maid isn’t there because she’s in China.
@@robinviden9148 no its a reference to the fact that it was set at a time before everything was made in China as it is now
"The maids of Uptown Downstairs"
Housemaid
...
Undermaid
...
Overmaid
...
Tea'smaid
...
Milkmaid
...
Homemaid
...
'Maid' inChina
...
(Invisiblemaid?)
...
Mermaid
LOL XD ! This is hilarious
+LarryAF Just wanted to add: ""Maid" in China - She's not here now, obviously" - There's your (invisible maid) :)
Maid force be with you
Minute Maid.
I also woukd add Hand maid 'praise be!'
😹😹😹😹😹 It’s so on point!
Olivia Coleman has been in so many small, unrecognised British films, and now she’s an Oscar winner, I always knew she was a queen 😭
Check out Twenty Twelve..a spoof documentary series (two, actually, with the spin-off, W1A, following) about the fictional Olympic Deliverence Commission, set up when we were hosting the games in 2012.. narrated BRILLIANTLY by David Tennent with the real Downton's Hugh Bonneville as Ian Fletcher, head of the commission... ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! 😂🤣
@@martinen.5025 "By the next morning, it's already Wednesday."
2:00 'urge, how common!' Nailed Mary 😂
nugal 😂😂😂😂😂
"Urgh, how common!"
The introduction of the staff is hilarious! Housemaid, Mermaid and so on... And Mrs. Danvers, the housekeeper. :-D How many people didn't get THAT joke?
+morphalinchen428 Mrs Danvers from Rebecca?
"Okay. Everyone done all their looks?"
:-)
"Mrs. Danvers." Yes! Just all kinds of, yes! Love that "Rebecca" reference.
This is wonderfully funny and so clever on so many levels. I am sure even Daphne du Maurier would find Joanna Lumley "Absolutely Fabulous" as Mrs. Danvers!
Cora's impersonation was SPOT ON.
Kim Cattrall is such a great actress! 😌❤
Kim Cattral, Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders all in one video.
Victoria Wood too
Simon! "Julian Fellows"
And Michael Gambon narrating.
Andrew Spence I finally got the sex and the city millions joke lol
really?
The newspapers, The Cora impression, the Dam Stevens impression, the car and arrival...the Julian Fellows impression...I laughed out loud. This was very well done!
Nobody's going to mention that the narrator was none other than Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore? a.k.a. Sir Michael Gambon.
THANK YOU! I couldn't place his voice. Started thinking it was Simon Callow
I was like, wait, but Dumbledore's dead!
Abtown Fabstairs...
That’s cute! 😂
Saunders is perfect as the Dowager
“... and my Sex and the City millions!” Genius.
David McAlpine Cunningham right??!!
Love it!!
Lmao was she on Sex and the City?
@@TheBasher-_- Yeah...that's Kim Cattrall who played Samantha Jones.
Rest in Peace Sir Michael Gambon... 😢
Simon Callow and Kim Catrall and Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley make this amazing
The imitation of Mary (Michelle Dockery’s wooden one-dimensional acting) was so good
Her faces at the end are a joy.
Haha...My oldest daughter, Mary and this is daughter #2.
Poor Edith :-(.
LGranthamsHeir It was almost a reflection on how Edith was treated on the show
Sherie Wren ...........and now five years on Donald Trump says..........My oldest daughter Ivanka, and this is daughter number two!
My grandmother said she cried when my mother was born because it wasn’t a boy. Needless to say number two child was a boy and was left everything in her will when she died and went to hell.
@@amayastrata4629 That escalated quickly....
"Thomas the evil footman" LOLOLOL!!!
BRILLIANT!!! I am howling of laughter while watching!! I absolutely love Jennifer Saunders !! This is just a masterpiece!!
How many characters does Joanna Lumley play? She's Absolutely Fabulous!
Really excellent parody here. Love how they kept cutting to people's hands and extreme close-ups of their eyes during the cast candid interview segments. LoL, they really do that a lot in documentary interviews these days.
Too funny. Bates was far the funniest falling flat on his face every five minutes haha! Great find, thank you! :D
"I'll kindly like you to remember, O'Brian, that a good servant retains a sense of Pride & Prejudice at all times."
"There's a precis at the beginning of each episode, for idiots" haha
Love the nicely placed references to it all being a show, not too in your face. Easily my favourite Comic Relief sketch!
"Uptown Top Ranking" By, Althea and Donna is one of THE best old Reggae tunes out there. That it is referenced here is fantastic!
"Thomas, the evil footman." lol
'Home-maid!' 'Yes, it's me. The knitted character.' Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
11 Years later and still Funny...🤭🤭🤭
"Maid in China. She's not here obviously." LOL.
OMG…the cast of this is awesome, Kim Catrall, Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders, what's not to love?
Oh bonus!!! Olivia Colman as O'Brien. And ITA Kim Cattrall did a terrific Cora. LOL.
jalola298 Ah Queen Anne as O'Brien! Lol
I didn't recognise either of them! But I know of Olivia Colman from 'Rev' ( she's Adam's wife Alex) and Kim Cattrall ( mind, this was years ago) from Star Trek VI as Lt. Valeris!
Wood and Saunders in the same scene, what a treat.
If there's one thing that I love about the BBC, is that they make great parodies of themselves. Thank you ❤.
6:24 " marvelous I don't know how I do it" 😁hahaha hahah hahaha
A classic! Here I am still giggling at it and sad to say Victoria Wood no longer with us nor Dale Winton.
I find myself coming back to these videos every few months, always makes me laugh!
Tim Vine is such a great actor, I'd like to see him MORE OFTEN on TV !!
Absolutely agree!
How am I only finding this today 😂😂😂😂👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 PERFECT
"Hi, really cool to meet you" LMAO!!
This is better than the actual show! I could watch the kitchen scene about 100 times. They want TEA!
I totalt AGREE, Best, Best, BEST !!!
from Sweden 🇸🇪
that one maid in the background running back and forth doing absolutely nothing
I love Downton Abbey and I found this spoof absolutely hilarious! Hahaha I love a good spoof :)
This is one of the best parody sketches ever 😂 Spot on all around
When he introduced the Sybil character lmao wow!
You'll soon get USED TO OUR WAYS MISTER CRAWLER!
this is hilarious. how did I just come across this 11yrs later? 😂
Mega fan of Downton Abbey here. How am I just now finding this?!! It’s bloody brilliant!! Hilarious! Tears in my eyes from laughing!!!
I LOST IT AT: "MAID IN CHINA" 4:33
"How do you keep up?"
"There's a précis at the beginning of each episode - for idiots!"
Fantastic!
“Thomas The Evil Footman” I dieddddd laughing omg
Okay everyone done all their looks ? 😂😂😂😂I don’t know why but that tickled me 😂😂😂
What should we call each other well we could always start with Dame Maggie Smith im dying lol
She actually says "Dame Maggie Smooth".
LivB definitely dying!
My Favorite Thespian RIP Victoria Wood x
Hilarious!
I am still wainting, since 2011, for part three..
This was hysterically funny! The Dowager really has Dame Maggie down pat, too. Running off to watch part two--this is just wonderful!
I actually just love this.
Wow that Cora impersonation is so spot on! I'm only after noticing it's Kim Cattrall!
“Has everyone done all their looks?”
I cannot stop laughing about the heir, Leonardo Dicaprio, dying in the sinking of the Titanic. I think I pulled a ligament in my face from laughing so much.
I love Downton Abbey and this parody is hilarious. Everyone is Great!!! Jennifer Saunders' writing is so funny, and her interpretation of The Dowager is perfect. PEACE to ALL.
Thomas, The evil foot man 😆
Finished the entire series and the movie before discovering this gem. Totally worth the wait.
The characters voices and cadence is perfect.
the scratch on the spoon pretty much summed up all the 6 seasons of Downton Abbey.
"Daughter number two..."
"Oh, thanks! Thanks a lot!"
"well, why don't we start with Dame Maggie Smith" I just love Jennifer Saunders she is so funny in this
ellie9311 she even says Dame Maggie Smooth 😂
Thomas, the evil footman. 😂🤣😂
This is AWESOME! The actors and actresses did a great job!! Luv the faces!! 🤣🤣🤣
3:54 is just the funniest part of the whole thing. Just the way that Joanna says it. I'm still not over it!
5:09 XD
Dale winton we miss you, you always made me chuckle.
"You can't speak now, the music has started." 😂
