- The opening sequence for the new Netflix political series, House of Cards with Kevin Spacey.
Obviously I don't own the right to this footage. Netflix, if you want it pulled just ask.
I'm just jealous of the writing here and had to share. Think of it as free advertising.

There are two kinds of pain... knowing that House of Cards will never get the final season it deserved, and listening to a random clicking sounds in the middle of a cold open monologue.
lmfao
haha good one
anything after S2 isn't really worth watching anyway
@@pitbul2877But god damn those first 2 seasons are incredible! I’m not big on rewatching show’s personally but I’ve seen those 2 a good 4-5 times over the years
clicking sounds?
i love that thing he does when he looks into the camera and then looks away without saying a word.... Priceless
Lol 7 years later an i feel you
He gives that I told you so look whenever he does it.
Guys I only watched the first 3 seasons, are the rest worth it? I heard the last one is really bad and I don't know if I should reconsider watching the rest I want to know what you think..
@@RM-wp7df i heard its not good after Kevin Spacey leaves the show. Also I've only watched season 1, so are s2 &3 worth watching?
@@effortlessawareness8778 3 months later and I feel you.
Dog was so injured it had an error sound

Lol
Just reboot the dog.
LOL i never noticed that 😂😂😂 good catch
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed way too hard at this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine how much insanity could have been avoided if Walker had just kept his word and given Frank State.
Raymond tusk !
That's literally all he had to do. All he had to f**king do. Instead he sent Underwood on a warpath with scorched earth policies.
@@razorguy13396 he's kind of like Coch brother's or Sheldon Adelson. Political billionaires!
Just imagine how bad it gets when Jeff Bezos decides to get active politically.
@@fwfeo this is already happening in India. All rules and regulations are being made to serve mukesh ambani, he is the 4th richest person in the world
@@fwfeo Bezos is already active politically even if he is not openly lobbying.
Such a shame he was a big deviant because my god was he a tremendous actor. Wish this show got the send off it deserved
Were any of the allegations proven true in court? Serious question
@@waningfizzle8318 Nope. And his “victim” had text messages with his girlfriend being all excited he met Kevin Spacey, then messages where he said he lied about his age and showing he knew exactly what Spacey wanted and was still excited. But who cares about the follow up to the story, people will just remember the accusation and do their best to ruin someone’s life before proven guilty.
@@waningfizzle8318 Not yet. There have been several cases dropped, and there are some pending. Also, London police are investigating 6 separate cases, but haven’t charged Spacey yet.
Anthony Rapp, one of the two that accused Spacey of sexual assault when they were minors, only filed a lawsuit this past September.
The dropped cases don’t necessarily reflect guilt or innocence, one case was dropped due to the accuser dying before trial for example.
Basically its still a big he said-(s)he said.
@@misatai5457 well one of the cases was dropped because the accuser “committed suicide”
It has always annoyed me that they didn't end it at the 4th season, 13 episodes each season, just as a deck of cards. And it wouldn't drag out as much as the later seasons has.
I like this. He immediately sets the arc of the series up by telling us he is about to move up and he won’t stay a lowly majority whip much longer.
After how phenomenal this show was, it absolutely didn’t deserve the ending it had. I’d rather have the show end before season 6 than have it end so terribly.
They had to... Because WHAAAMEN.
@peach pamon Thank you for understanding basic decent human behavior.
Don't watch season 6
@@crazercrazer
What wamen?
@@crazercrazer
Pretty sure it was more about the allegations of unwanted sexual advances on a minor against Spacey than it was about "wHaAmEn".
Be honest.... You didn't search for this video
shut up
Nobody did
I did
Do you usally search for youtube videos?
I didn’t have to, it was in my feed.
frank underwood is the best and coldest series character ever, the things he does in the series are horrible but so genius and when he talks to the audience just makes it even colder
Ian Richardson as Francis Urquhart in the original House of Cards.
"Any politician that gets 70 million votes has tapped into something larger than himself"
Meanwhile in 2020, both candidates got more than 70 million votes.
@L M Still no evidence smh
@L M haha shut up
@L M Very true. There's no way 70 million people actually wanted Trump.
@L M just look at Georgia haha. Evidence of 3 batches appearing out of nowhere for in favor of Trump. It’s not that there’s no evidence it’s that the biased media you’re getting your information from isn’t relaying this information.
@@futchibolhighlights2397 they are, but its not going to be enough to over turn the election.
Trump lost get over it
Poppin up in everyone's recommendations rn!
Ya wtf
@@fluffydolphins4297 even in Berlin...
Even here in India😆😆
Yeah lol.
Oh you know it 😂
“Umm sir... the dog only had a minor scrape...”
There.. no more pain.
"Uwu really a minor" he said with a creppy smile
Whenever i see house of card, i always remember Chappelle's joke, about if spacey's accuser shut his mouth up for another year we could have a great finale, since he kept silent for many years already.
😂😂😂
Dang
Then it all ended up being a waste of time and money anyway
And, yet again, Spacey was cleared from the sexual assault allegations by court ruling. So that failed actor not only ruined the show but also Spacey’s career.
@@frankaliberti but by criminal or civil? judge or jury? Cleared from the allegations on what grounds? Those things matter too much to not specify when claiming it 'proves' he's completely innocent
"Today smoking is going to save lives"
No one comes close imo
THE FIRE’S SHOOTING AT US
That wasn’t a series opener
"SAVE BANDIT!"
that wasnt a pilot ya moron
The title is "Best COLD OPEN to a series ever" not "best pilot to a series ever"
Kevin spacey May be a horrible person but goddamn his acting is superb
he does his job damn well
He needs to act to be likeable.
Why do you think he is able to act like that?
How is he a horrible person?
@@ahnaftahmid9115 Here have a coin.
best pilot ever. the full first episode is a nothing but perfection. felt kinda sad watching the series go down the drain throughout the years
The pilot of breaking bad was also superb. :-)
Never the same after he left the show.
He didnt leave, he has been left. For good reasons.
@@MCxTuber true but now that he has been acquitted I think they need to remake the final season. The one they gave us was awful.
@@ncxbox4379 I don't think that will ever happen
I never watched the last season
@L M go fuck yourself
Best Actor from the 2000s and the man was found Innocent! People just wanna bring you down when your the top dog like Spacey. No one can beat his acting
Damn the potential this show had for the perfect ending i would rather they stop at S5 and never revisit it again
Honestly started going downhill after season 2. Sigh such potential.
Just watched season 6 for the first time it was awful
@@mrskwrl lmao the first 5 seasons are incredible chu talking about?
I gave up on House of Cards in the middle of season 6. It was that bad for me. I don't even want to know how the show ends. The show really went downhill in season 5 when Frank abruptly announced his resignation. That was definitely out of character for Frank Underwood, and Beau Willimon was the missing piece in seasons 5 and 6, and it showed badly.
@@uncreative5766 every single episode of season 6 was incredibly painful. It was obvious that they completely rewrote and scraped together any footage without Kevin Spacey in it. I dont think 3 months had passed since his public denouncement until they released the last season. It felt like they ran out of budget and just tried to cobble together an ending without him just because they felt like they didn't have an option.
people might think kevin spacey is perfect in everything he does, but he couldn't possibly comment on that.
Yikes.
This comment has a new interpretation now
@@floydhebert3684 lollll
@@floydhebert3684 lmao I took it as the latter when I first saw this
@Jeff Jeff wait, how is this racist
" Tell me whyyyy? "
" Now number fiveeee "
Now that's an opening
Omg i forgot about that part
Chills! Literal Chills!
Right, your dead brother. Totally forgot about that.
it is AN opening
But this is a Series opener yours is just an episode opener
What a riveting pilot episode, makes me want to watch this series all over again, only the 1st 2 seasons though
Ah, I see you are a man of culture and fine taste.
In my opinion, it was great until season 4.
I'm usually a fan up until the end of season 3
Better still, watch the original with Ian Richardson, which is so much better.
Watch til the writing goes bad
Can’t think of a better character intro. You understood so much about Frank so fast, pure mastery.
just goes to show a good cold open is pointless without a proper ending
"welcome to Washington" seems a little pale next to "she's dead...wrapped in plastic"
Diane...
True
Thank you! I have Laura on my wall and the giant tattooed on my right arm, black lodge living forever
Which show?
@@seriouscoffeecup5516 twin peaks
Up until the train incident later on in the series, I was actually rootin' for this character, because he DID get screwed. I also wonder how this show would have played out if that train thing didn't happen
What are you talking about he killed a father of 2 and you were still rooting for him??????
@@natethegreat1999 From my memory, the train incident was the very first line crossing thing he did on screen. I know he also killed the bald Congressperson and made it look like a suicide, but I thought that happened in a later season.
@@carlosrvra Bald congressman is Peter Russo
As you might know, House of Cards is based off of the UK novel and series of the same name and in that story Francis Urquhart pushes a journalist off a roof as a central plot point. So they were trying to mirror this in order to stay true to the core of the story. But I agree, it would have been really interesting to see what would have happened if he didn't kill her and had to come up with some other solution to silence her
Never rooted for him but it is true that the "President elect" did initially renege on his promise to make him Sec. of State if memory serves.
First season: Riveting perfection.
Second season: Good television.
Third season: Fan fiction.
Fourth season: Cancel this shit.
For me, only 2 first seasons exist. Perfection and absolutely nicely ended story.
@@GonzoInside That's a good way to look at it. He became POTUS. End of the story.
It's amazing how bad it got. Like... so bad. Even with Spacey staying on after Season 3, it would've been a hard sell.
Season 3 was my ishh
Season 1: 10/10
Season 2&3: 9/10
Season 4: 10/10
Season 5: 7/10
Just my score.
Those UA-cam algorithm’s are taking over the world
😂damn right
I always found it ridiculous and funny at the same time how bodyguard steve dramatically goes from incredibly healthy in one episode to looking like a complete train wreck in another with very little time in between
By the time Claire visits him in the Hospital there s around 4 months passed since we last saw him. And besides he had cancer in stage 4 if I remember correctly which is really aggressive even in a healthy man.
It’s a show. Time doesn’t pass at the same speed it does outside the show man...the show starts a New Years party, before walker is inaugurated. Only 5 episodes later were basically at the end of his first hundred days, Peter Russo fucking up and then becoming sober for a full month, week - month long strikes (don’t remember).
"Give and take. Welcome to Washington" always one of the best cold open lines to a series (former resident of Washington).
Love the show. And Kecvin Spacey is just perfect for the role
Well that didn't age well
@@kasuh3105 Why?
@@meltonjhon1 the entire metoo campaign got started mainly due to the accusations against him.
@@kasuh3105 why? He is a great actor, not a great person, that's all

@@jennysmith9134 who gives a fuck
@@mason9806 me and other caring people out there, lol. #notinternetrolls
This was, and still is, one of my favorite series of all time.
Then just say is
It’s hilarious how many characters in this scene got screwed at some point
I absolutely love that you think he’s guna be comforting to the dog but then it changes instantly and the audience sees this is a man that thinks he’s helping the dog but doing it in the most inhumane and vicious way possible. And that line see no more pain like he just did the dog a favor.
This is where they got me hooked. What an opening.
This show hit me so damn hard! As an Australian, it was difficult for me to grasp the American political system on my first watch. But I was mesmerised by Spacey’s performance. My second watch had me convinced this show was one of the best I’d ever seen. I was hooked. Then it all went to shit and I’ve never gotten over it.
House of Cards: We have the best Cold Open.
Breaking Bad: I like to have a word with you.
breaking bad has the best ending.
@@lukenel29 at least Breaking Bad got that much lol
@@celticfox im not complaining I genuinely really liked breaking. My point here is that breaking bad a truly stunning ending, simply that.
@@lukenel29 I was joking that the ending for House of Cards was utter shite lol, the parallel being Breaking Bad's ending was so good
@@celticfox ahh fair enough. lol.
The only thing that tops this is the season 2 first episode where he doesn’t do the camera talks the whole episode. You start to think that went away. Then he turns and talks to you at the very end. I felt a legit chill down my spine.
I just started rewatching Frank and Claire. House of Cards is fantastic.
I've heard of the show but never seen it. Dam that was a good cold opening
Love this show and what a great actor
Outstanding show.... Absolutely love it.
Say what you want but Spacey is an absolute master of the Dramatic Arts.
I’m from South Carolina congressional district 6 and the fact that he’s a democrat that actually managed to win that district let me know immediately that he had to be some kind of fucking genius lol.
And a Republican being the governor of New York.
Could've been one of the greatest shows ever made. A damn shame.
They should've had 4 seasons. 13 episodes each. Deck of cards.
Seasons 1&2 are his rise, 3 is his reign, and 4 is his fall. Instead they decided to milk the show until it became horrible.
"I've backed the right man. Give and take." feels like such innocent thing to say, by comparison
I dont think people appreciate just how PERFECT this opening scene is. In just 3 minutes you learn about Frank Underwood's contempt toward the system, his fake persona he presents to the public, his true sociopathic nature, and his brutally pragmatic ideology, you meet every one of the key players, every plot thread is set up without you even realizing it, and it all comes out as naturally as a diary entry, bookended by two of the most memorable monologues in the entire show.
This scene right here is what created the Netflix behemoth we have today
It was such a good series. Back it would surprise the hell out of you. No wonder old people long for the gone days.
That's pretty good but I'll always consider the Blacklist opening one of the coolest I've ever seen
Loved and miss this show.
Spacey plays underwood so well. I’ve watched nearly 4 seasons of this in under a week.
Do urself a favor and stop after he leaves😅
@@hollykm I was planning on doing that hahahaha
I just watched the episode after the one where he gets shot, the one where he’s just in a coma for the entire episode and it was without a doubt the worst episode yet
Jeff Daniel's speech the newsroom. Hands down best opening to a series I've ever seen
This show had all time potential
Watched the opening and I knew I would every episode of every season 😂
legends are watching it still in the end of 21.
i love that kevin spacey doesn’t have to act when he plays a maniac
Gotta love David Fincher when he’s directing
One of the best episodes of any web series ever
How to have the audience immediately see your character as a bad guy, have him kill a dog within his first minute on screen.
He plays his character so well…. to bad he isn’t acting
"Welcome to Washington"
nigga actin like its vegas or LA lmao
@@jpeg.600x2 In a city that deep in goverment and lobbying you know some real weird shit ensues behind closed doors.
Really good scene, and Robin is stunning as Always......but I still have to give the best Opening to "News Room".
" Frank, you know we can hear you, right? "
Watched House of Cards all over again.
One nation. Underwood.
I never watched the show...now I want to
Greatest opening of any television show
Totally forgot how fucking awesome this show was. Lazy day today, might as well binge it again.
"Best cold open for. series ever?"
Not even close.

If only he wasn’t a Percy we would’ve had more of this masterpiece
I can’t actually remember if it is a cold open, but the best opening to a tv series ever is Jeff Daniels monologue about America in the newsroom. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
Given the fact that this was such an amazingly ground-breaking show I hope the writers give us something akin to a spin-off in the not-distant future taking in the pandemic and such
Mr Robot had the best cold opening for a series imo, this might be #2 though
Yeah those openings were always intense and crazy
Wtf i literally started rewatching this tonight I go on UA-cam and see this...
I haven't watched it yet. Now I'm gonna.
I need to finish this series
Still an amazing actor.
Well I don’t know why UA-cam recommended me this but I approve it
The Serpent in The Garden was a master storyteller, too
Remember, Kevin Spacey's case got dropped.
Yeah after 3 of them died. One 'killed himself' another one was 'hit by a car' and the third 'died of unknown causes'. I'm sure the other accusers weren't super eager to 'commit suicide' or die in an 'accident' so they stopped pursuing it
@@healthypizza1745 reminder that one of them was not even confirmed to exist, and his lawyer dropped any accusations soon after the first case was closed.
Interesting.

Anyone else here 7 years later cuz you knew the comment section would be juicy?
0:32 Nice USB removal bro. Strong video..
On 2/1/2013 they write (2:07), "Any politician that gets 70M votes has tapped into something larger than himself - larger than even me (as much as I hate to admit it)".
Relating to 11/3/2020: Biden >78.5M, Trump >73M.
For context: Obama 69.5M. (2008)
Which real-life candidate does this quote relate to most, if any, besides just the show? I was thinking Trump, but his 2016 win was less than H. Clinton, Biden, and both Obamas. But he certainly tapped into something!
Yeah it's called a wave, he surfed it and fucked it up
But Trump tapped into something more. 80 Million people didn't vote for him, they would have voted for anybody, even you and me, except Trump.
As much as I detest Trump and everything he stands for, I will say that he has a cult of personality unlike any president before him. He went from being a joke prior to 2016 to being arguably the most powerful man in the world. I think that takes a certain genius...
"tough as a $2 Steak" ...have to remember that one.
If charm was a person it would be kevin
Greatest ever! Kevin spacey is a bloody legend!
I wish Frank would come back from the dead.
I friggin love this introduction to Frank’s nature
Man, this show was incredible in the beginning.
Kevin Spacey is personally the most disappointing celebrity to turn out as a creep
