The Dowager's Finest Comebacks | Downton Abbey 

😂😂😂

One of my favorite scenes!!!!

@@morganswilley2728 But I keep forgetting the name of the male actor who is about to sweep away indignantly!

That was my favorite zinger.

@@salex9482 and her follow up with the comment on the vase "chef's kiss"

She's the reason I started watching. I've followed her career for several years. She's an amazing actress.

No one delivers sarcasm like the inimitable Dame Maggie Smith💖

I totally agree with you. I adore her acting ,sarcasm the way she handle herself. Magnificent.

Dame Judi Dench? Vanessa Redgrave?

@@nuschlerclark895 They are all good, but none of them are as sassy as this golden lady 😍

"You know me, never complain, never explain." "You don't have much problem complaining."

Especially someone they didn't know

But just the colonists...

That quote sold the show to me.

That line was priceless...laughed so hard

@@anutripathiful Go away

You could say that to almost anyone now, at the very least in "Hollywood."

That "waiter" line made me laugh the hardest out of the entire series. 🤣

@@zapataattack5843 It could be a lack of understanding on my part, but do you know why Robert and Matthew’s outfits where inappropriate?

@@rickgauer4559They weren’t formal enough. Dinner is supposed to be white tie.

@@bradleywesterman4439 OH! I see. Thank you! 😁

Sibyl’s comback tho: You started it😁

@@kbeautician Violet: shocked Pikachu face

Hear ! Hear !

A very relevant phrase today especially when most comedians rely on vulgarity

All the more significant to say at these modern times to the popular influencers

😂😂😂😂😂😂

so basically Rosamonde's spiritual kinswoman lol

When you're in school writing an English paper with a word minimum.

@@casper_z1259 preferably an essay with 300-500 words kkkk

Absolutely Flawless & Priceless.

Very well said.....she is such a wonderful Actress!

She wrote her own come backs, and she is a stage actress which makes it a lot easier to transfer to movies and TV while the reverse isn’t that simple. Brits and the theater…can’t be beat!

for real I had to write that one down 🤣🤣🤣

Too true.

THE SHADE!

@@kbeautician 🕶️🔥💜

Indeed! The way she delivers her lines as Prof. McGonagall, especially when Harry and Ron show up late to class, is such low-key fire! Upon hearing lines like "Perhaps it would be useful to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch. That way one of you might be on time", I know I'd be making a conscious effort to be on time to class. Besides, if you're late to anything where Dame Maggie Smith or her characters are present, you might miss all the low-key-sass action. 😁

Don't forget Mother Superior.

then cry

Duh

😆😂

😂😂😂

I hope you're right!!

this is my favourite comeback

The one that went something like, "Yes, I KNOW what campaigning is..." "Mary, will you be campaigning as well? Or would you prefer to take in washing?"

I don't know how Lady Mary kept a straight face!

That's my favorite

Saturday and Sunday. Fortnight is 14 days.

Thanks for the reminder Orange&purple! Hilarious!

The skirmish of the swivel chair.

I love how they went from the 1st meeting "Mrs Crawley and Lady Grantham" to "Cousin Isobel"

which makes me wonder + imagine an AU of a potential marriage discussion between the Granthams and the Salinas of "Il Gattopardo"

Stunt casting. Shirley was out of place, and out of her league.

Three. Her interaction with Maud was great too. “Maud, what are you doing here?” “You won’t believe me, but I shall miss you.” “Or have you just come to check I’m on the way out?”

under* a hundred

actual question, does "under a hundred" mean the British nobility/aristocracy in general???

@@user-ix1rp9ff3p Under a hundred years old meaning she only knows very old people.

@@mpb3481 thanks for the reply I asked because the number could mean anything; and as I prowled thru the Internet, there was a (in)famous American society list called "The Four Hundred" connected with the Astors

Yes! Yes! YES!!!

I'm thinking a prequel of how she became Lady Grantham.

😥💔🎬

So sad to think the New Era would be the last Downton production in which we’ll see cousin Violet😢.

@@edanemorp1635 There's always the Downton Abbey Prequel. Of a younger actress shall play the Dowager Countess, but her voice and spirit will Always endure. 💜

@@m.layfette6249 eager to see how a younger Violet would be decked in "the bustle [late Victorian to early Edwardian], the crinoline [middle Victorian/Second Empire], and the leg of mutton sleeve [early Victorian]."

There IS no Downton Abbey without Maggie Smith.

By the power of the holy spirit in the name of Elohim Jehovah adoniah by the fire Lord Israel Equadour adoni pope john paul king david orion smith Johnny smith I baptize you with my holy Spirit and this boy is now my son his new name is Daniel Steven Orion smith I love you please find me soon I will live you.

that's one of my favourites too!

My favorite? Near the top, just so many to be clear cut. One thing for sure, Maggie Smith is the best!

@@anthonysmith6558 She's awesome for sure! Her comedic timing is 👌
