“The road to power is paved with hypocrisy...and casualties.”
Great writing!
? He just states a fact lol
Best quote
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 That's why its good. Naive people, real or fictional, often think that achieving and maintaining power are harmless endeavors, and think that they can make any decisions without breaking a single egg or stepping on someone's toe; which can't be further from the truth.
Frank sounds sad when he says this
@@RadicalVed very true
Niccolo Machiavelli will be in tears of joy right now
Truth
and Chanakya would smile

@Teringventje Do you know how to use Google
Omlllll my English teacher is that you?
Frank is the type of guy that will survive a zombie apocalypse with no weapons
Perhaps...
... or perhaps zombies are undeterred by ambitious political maneuvers and 8-minute monologues.
+Crates Media Tell that to the Walking Dead.
Chuck Norris would think twice after meeting FU 😉
If Frank Underwood and Chuck Norris met in a room, there would be a long serious stare down. And than they would proceed to make aggressive, yet passionate love to each other.
+Tenacious B I respect him (no i dont) but i dont think i would make love to such a low brain level man (or man at all) tomorrow you would however see him working...FOR...MEE...
I've never wanted the bad guy to win until I met Frank Underwood.
Walter White? Tywin Lannister?
***** I never considered Walter White a bad guy due to his circumstance. I've never watched Game of Thrones so I'm not familiar with the characters.
I don't want him to win. He's a sociopathic asshole! The only reason I watch is because I want someone to take him doooooooowwn! (haha)
***** I think that of everyone. Human beings' behavior and the intricacies that influence an individual are far too complicated for one-word labels such as "good" or "bad." Unfortunately, that shallow simplicity has been embraced by modern media outlets to appeal to the uneducated masses.
***** I'd say Petyr Baelish is by far the most similar GoT character to Frank Underwood.
"Doormats and matadors". Incredible writing.
“Which one do you think I intend to be?”😎
Frank Underwood - "No writer worth his salt can resist a good story, just as no politician can resist making promises he can't keep." -this one stick with me
i eont get it? why salt?
@@creepaholiccreep1649 worth his salt= competent.
I am being humble when I am telling you that I am the most powerful strongest coolest smartest most famous greatest funniest Y*uTub3r of all time! That's the reason I have multiple girlfriends and I show them off on my ch*nnel all the time! Bye bye gri
@@AxxLAfriku dude I see you on every video I watch now
@@creepaholiccreep1649 it's a metaphor for urine because urine has a salty taste and back in the slavery days, they used to judge slaves by their bladder and how healthy it was because they used slaves urine to water the crops and such to not waste any water because of the shortage
Whenever I try to be more badass, I actually think of what Frank would do.
+Amy Zhang Of all people you could pick from, you pick the vile and evil personality that is Frank Underwood as your role model in those types of situations? Please don't procreate.
+isawayto hey dipshit, he speaks sense often. we all draw inspiration from unlikely places.
+Robert Baratheon I actually believe Frank's ideologies are sound. I live by a lot of his principles.
+Robert Baratheon You never called me a dipshit though...
Robert Baratheon That says something. And he also loved art.
I would still Watch House of Cards with him on it, Sorry I can separate art from artist and he is a damn great actor
damn straight people are emotional morons
I agree however I cannot watch this upcoming season. It wont be the same without him and I think each episode will just drag on.
Translated, you mean, "Give me what I want, when I want it"...
Him being a terrible person has nothing to do with him being a great actor. Hollywood is already a cesspool of all kinds of degenerates anyway. So why does it matter??
Agreed but we dont have to work with and around him. We might not care because we sit and watch. But itd be uncomfortable to work with and around him. Especially for anyone more passionately upset with what hes done. Understandable to not have him on anymore. The industry doesnt want to say, hey its okay to be like this. Because its not.
Cant help but think about this. "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
DraiKofi The Usual Suspects, also starring Kevin Spacey.
Totally, great movie too, no worries.
keyser Soze went into politics when he was older and changed his name to Frank Underwood, it's a shared universe.
The greatest trick he played was making people believe they aren't the devil, and live pretending they are angles.
The Usual Suspects, a classic easily
"You see, Freddy believes that if a fridge falls off a minivan, you better swerve out of its way. I believe it’s the fridge’s job to swerve out of mine."
That was the only quote I could remember from this show because of how raw it was.
@J D you're either gonna hit another car or end up in a ditch. Best option might be to just hit the fucking fridge
Brett Dawson 😂
It implies that he is driving a tank
Frank Underwood is a modern adaption of Shakespeare's Richard III. It's amazing how adaptable and relevant Shakespeare's works have remained.
Richard III was a real person. So really, Frank is based on a historical figure.
Not Spiderman Frank is based on a interpretation of a historical figure. Shakespeare was writing a long time after the death of Richard III, and most historians now agree that Shakespeare's portrayal of Richard was unfair, and essentially amounted to propaganda.
What isn't propaganda when it comes to historical accounts? The only reason Shakespearean works are so relevant is because people keep creating derivatives of them. Kind of displays a lack of originality. Just touching up an old design.
EmptyMan000 And why do people keep creating derivatives of his work in particular? Because they're good.
I see him as more of an Iago.
About 1/3 into season 3 when this dawned on me: every phrase or saying that Frank uses to justify his scumbaggery could easily be printed under the picture of a mountain, sunrise, or ocean view and placed as a motivational slogan in just about any office building.
Welcome to the understanding that office buildings are just big bureaucracies...just like governments...
Haha
Frank Underwood's monologue at the end of the first episode of season 2 was bloody amazing
Gavin Branch the end of the seasson 2 was just... perfect
Which one was that?
+Kaitlyn “Ness” Cortisse ".....there can be no mercy. There is but one rule. Hunt, or be hunted.........Welcome back" (cue the trumpets)
Yes it was, such an exciting intro to a season
I love the soft but sinister “Welcome back”
breaking the fourth wall like a boss
Few shows can pull it off without making the audience cringe
The fourth Wall is nowadays overused and kind of boring, but this guy did it really like a boss.
The Office who?
What does that mean?
Enola holmes could never
The first episode of season two was amazing, truly.
ya it just hit me like a train honestly
shindoutube XD
Might only be second to Ozymandias. Never had a more clichéd jaw drop. My mouth literally hung open and I looked around to look for other reactions even though I was completely alone at work haha. I'll never forget it.
It was definitely on the right track
When he ruthlessly killed her
"Good things happen to good people"
I don't know why but that made me laugh hard.
The irony....
One of the finest actors ever. He deserved an Oscar for this performance.
And also jail time
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames haha 🤣 u too for your comment
"How do you put out a fire? You start an even bigger one beside it, sucks out all the oxygen"
That's not how fire works though.
@John permeswar Nice try, pal. How old are you, 14?
@John permeswar Yep, that sums it up.
That's not how fire works.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire
no oxygen = no oxidizer = no combustion = no fire
i binge watched both seasons and when i first saw him talk to the camera, i thought oh no, this is gonna suck,, but it turns out it adds such an insight into his character. Feb2015 cant come quick enough
We're almost there now....
lmao same here!
dhailemeister We are already there haha
Ricardo Antonio trust me the binge has already begun
Rip the series ended horribly
I love frank underwood. There’s no point to house of cards without him.
New Diplomacy: Shake hands with right hand but hold a sanitizer in your left.
BWHAAAA!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😡🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😣🤣
Man🤣
jezzz 😂😂😂😂
Socially distance or be socially distanced
It put the sanitizer on the the skin or else it gets the hose again
This show feels just like a Shakespeare play. It's no coincidence. There's a reason he quoted from "Julius Caesar."
Daniel Dougan The scenes where he stops and talks to the audience are right out of Shakespeare's Richard the third. Another short lived show from the 90s Profit used the same technique.
The entire first season is OTHELLO.
Frank = Iago
President = Othello
Dude who got the job frank wanted = cassio
In OTHELLO Iago convinces Othello that Cassio is sleeping with his wife. The initial plot is almost identical it just involves high ranking soldiers instead. ALSO Iago talks to the audience/himself.
+Daniel Dougan It has been said that Shakespeare wrote every plot and motivation and everything since has simply been name and location changes... or something like that...
+Daniel Dougan It really does. There's also quite a bit of surface similarities between Frank Underwood and Sun Tzu.
I think the show is partially inspired by Macbeth. I mean in frank and claire's relationship.
1:08 “The road to power is paved with hypocrisy and casualties. Never regret.”
"And many, MANY dead witnesses".
I loved your Bernie Bongo video
Accurately brilliant
“The higher up the mountain the more treacherous the path”.
His accent and the tone of his voice are remarkable!
There's something about his voice. He doesn't speak, he screams power with every dialogue!
'Only Achilles was as strong as his heel' Learnt that lesson well Kevin Spacey.
Four witnesses have died now. It's like Spacey is trying to match the Clinton body count.
Even* only*
heyimgoingtoplaysomegames i had no idea omg i just googled it wtf
The more I've studied and contemplated politics, the more I realise it is all ultimately about power, and that power ultimately is all about violence. Everything boils down to who can inflict the most violence on another.
"Power comes through the Barrel of a Gun" - Mao Zedong
He didn't lasted in power so long by accident.
@@PHRCpvh Indeed.
It’s a dirty game. That’s all it is
@@divineblue4580someone gotta do it.
Study politics?!
What's there to be studied? You just need to be a good lier, hypocrite and piece of 💩
😂
Best part about this show is that the whole season is published at the same time as episode one. No need to limit oneself just to one episode per week like in the case of some other shows.
I hope that more shows will start releasing all episodes at once.
Buddy if you think this was the best thing abt House of Cards you definitely never watched a minute of House of Cards.
@@P.-Ex1 yeah yeah i get it your opinion is better than mine. Awesome.
@@mac19999x thank you so much for acknowledging that my guy, you’re amazing ❤️
@@P.-Ex1 sure buddy
"Hunt or be hunted" the way he says it is just inspiring.
It's like watching a person live the 48 laws of Power.
Exactly.
Background guy: Um, sir...what is Mr. Underwood doi..
Secretary: SHHHHH! Just ignore him, he does this all the time.
You missed the pain one, while killing the dog
+Subhash Bayireddy That's season 1.
+TwinBladeFury Sorry bro! Didn't see the description
"I don't have time for useless things"
*puts down dog
That has to be my favorite quote
that's the first scene then
@@TwinBladeFury It didn't say anything about which season.
In my late teens/early 20's I thought there was a way to be 100% accommodating and still be the best. Turns out it's just all a big competition. If you don't fight for what you want, somebody else will fight and take what you want. The best you can do is be respectful to those you left behind once you climb over them.
It's so pragmatic this show! It's a dog eat dog world out there. The best part about this show is just that. It doesn't show any nonsense just shows the realities no pretense
Did you think that I forgot about you?
This part just knocked me out. So many great monologs by him. Great writers.
M0esmac I quite literally got chills when he finally turns to the camera after that shocking (yet seen a mile away) scene and says those words.... Ah, it was good.
BFBrown3 Prehaps you thought I did...
@@jelsaipo seriously, gave me chills too
episode?
0:06 when you work as a butcher and you get called in
Wow you can't say things like that with that profile pic 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀
The gap in quality between Claires monologues and Franks is immeasurable
there were never any moments where Claire's monologues sent a chill down my spine. Frank's were sometimes inspirational and sometimes terrifying.
i think they’re both great in their own way!
@@emie1170hers was ass
The funny thing is that the Russian leader Putin is also watching House of Cards to understand American policy.
Any proof of it?
really?
The funny this is that I personally drink vodka with Putin once every month and discuss the train wreck that is Boaty McBoatface
@@unknowninformant6730 haha nice
I just want someone to overhear Frank breaking the 4th wall and interrupt him as they're being insulted.
Misleading title. It should say "Digg's favorite unsorted quotes from Frank Underwood".
wr
Devo Castler
Or “compilation of pseudo-intellectual metaphors disguised as dialogue”
an intern did this lmao
What I love about this show is what this sociopathic character resembles, which is most politicians. Usually charming, hypocrite liars and would do anything for power
I can't imagine house of cards without him,no one could have made this series so good without him🤙
0:49 that statement resonates with me from the first time I heard it. It's true. The higher the stakes, the higher the rewards, and the higher the risks. So watch your step.
Machiavellian lecture, in 2 minutes :))
You know he's boss when he quotes Shakespeare
Which quote was Shakespeare
+Kaitlyn “Ness” Cortisse the one that ended with "...and let slip the dogs of war". I believe it's from his play 'Julius Caesar'.
+WheresWallace4883 haha, I learned a lot since I posted that comment, I learned his whole character is based of Rochard III
Kaitlyn Cortisse Yep, with bits of Clinton thrown in here and there too.
+WheresWallace4883 yee
"It's not beginning the story that I fear, it's not knowing how it will end. Everyone is fair game now."
He would never realize how right he was.
1:24
Fuck spacey. Oh, wait, he would love that.
This show was not simple fiction, this was a documentary about how real life politics works. The last few years in real life showed us exactly that.
I love Frank's fourth wall narration
'welcome back' man this always gives me chills
I could watch this everyday.
Watched this yesterday. See you tomorrow Frank.
You're being brainwashed
I had the pleasure of watching Kevin Spacey as Richard III at the Old Vic in London before he filmed House of Cards. It was very much like how he plays Frank Underwood. He is a powerhouse.
Thank you for mentioning this, I will go get myself a treat by watching it.
His sayings have a sort of comedic aspect to them that tickles me. Every time he speaks in tongues, I chuckle a little on the inside. It's like he's trying to tell me a secret that nobody would understand unless they were Frank Underwood. I often find an overlap in personalities throughout some of the characters played by Kevin Spacey. Does anyone else agree?
I totally noticed that too. His roles are often ruthless leaders who corrupt a system and he's usually a smug bastard about it! Love Kevin Spacey.
"overlap in personalities throughout some of the characters played by Kevin Spacey" agree
"When money is coming your way, You don't ask any questions."
This man is School of acting by Himself..Hats off to him
He runs the Show unilaterally..
"When you are fresh meat, kill, and throw them something fresher".
This is profound stuff here.
These writers are great, i miss this show so much. I’ve watched each season 10 times
"Did you think I had forgotten you? Perhaps you thought you hoped I have"
"Must I destroy this man? No, I will not."
Frank Underwood House of Cards a rewarding few sleepless nights of powerwatching, here is the best short summary I have seen
I like how he speaks as he already IS the president but is teleported back in time.
Frank Underwood always have some the damn best Quotes worth remembering, repeating and dear say believing. Mastering The Art of Ruthlessness.
0:55 Lesson to those who would rebel
“Shake with your right but hold a stone in your left.”
Beijing-styled Diplomacy
I'm a nice and empahtic guy. Promise;)
You rule Frank!
Shut up and take my campaign donation.
Oof
i hate it when people do this, ''oh look i am the character from the show saying something completely out of character, give me likes now''.
he truly has no ruth lol
james bond i couldn't imagine a man with less ruth than this guy lol
“”AND THE BUTCHERING BEGINS “ LOVE THAT LINE 🎭🏴🇺🇸💯
He actually is a ruthless guy in real life
The "welcome back" monologue made me pardon him for killing Zoe
A man who is a master at his craft. I throughly enjoyed this series while he was on it.
Something is missing: "money is like that mansion in Sarasota that start falling apart after 10 years, power is the old stone building standing for centuries".
I love franks narrative darkly friendly moments.
"when the money is coming your way, you don't ask any questions" lol
Every time, when I am in a hard situation I wonder: what would Frank do ?
Ruthless, but extremely competent politician, and of course it's a fictional character
Doormats or matadors ... GENIUS!
Netflix owes so much to this Man!,
No other way about it.
Franky had the best lesson in ruthlessness. Those poor pigs.
Shake with your right hand, but hold a rock in your left...great line!!!
Never cared for his acting but he pulled this off perfectly.... his personality prevailed
That's the type of man that tells his barber "it's not okay"
That's it, I'm gonna start watching the series...
Even Archilles was as strong as his heel
i can't picture season 6 without kevin spacey.
it was pure shit !!!
I bet Frank would be an ideal Cobra Kai sensei “Strike first ! Strike hard ! No Mercy !”
I need more lessons in ruthlessness from Frank Underwood;)
Same too
Oh no, not again!
He is my spirit animal
Kevin spacey may have done wrong, but can't deny his talent.
Says who? All charges were dropped with prejudice. The accuser that tried to sue him suddenly "lost" the evidence, and when the judge court ordered the accuser to find it or face punishment, they suddenly dropped all charges voluntarily
@@jeremywoods770 Emphasis on "may"
@@irisvonpadoru830 true. Very true. I stand corrected.
According to Frank Underwood, the biggest wrong was getting sued.
According to Frank Underwood, he didn't regret doing it, he regretted getting caught.
Omg CHILLS at the beginning of season 2 when you think he is done talking to the audience, but at the end of the episode he says welcome back!!!!
I loved the soundtrack for this series.
“What does the face of a coward look like? The back of his head as he runs from the battle”.
This is not in the show but is my favorite.
"If anyone ever asked you how much money is enough and they don't say MORE, than they don't have what it takes to truly be wealthy."
Shake with your right hand but hold a rock in your left. Essence of life.
Frank Underwood=Washington’s Tywin Lannister
"The road to power is paved with hypocrisy and casualties..."
This is honestly one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen. The writing is phenomenal and I don’t think it would be too drastic to compare it to Shakespeare.
I love when he talk in the camera
The Moment he left the Show, it went down the Hill.
i love the way Frank says "Jeeeeeeoooowwwwwwwwww" at 0:25 and "welcome baaaack" at 2:28 !
Ok seriously, how the hell did spacey end up from this, to nine lives? I'm certain someone saw him kill someone . . . .
I was wondering the same thing... do you have any ideas lol
money
Omg yes. I saw the trailer and threw up in my mouth. It's an actual insult to his career.
Eric M
It was Spacey's decision, he said he was doing so many "serious" roles, he wanted to "dent" his character.
Frank taught me to defend myself in political debate class. Thanks to him I have the support of a ton of people for President of the political club
I think it was clear al ready the first two times you wrote it
