#DowntonAbbey - Розваги
"I'm glad to know that Mrs. Patmore has a good heart and does not judge."
Finally! One of my favorite Cora moments.
"You will have her next to you at dinner.
And. You. Will. Like. It."
I liked his chicken response: what do you say to a singer? Ha. LOL.
@@patriciajrs46 I liked Robert’s line to Carson after this:”I blame you.”😅😅
That really is the best one lmao
Cora supporting the servants feeding the soldiers and immediately sacking Nanny West after hearing her be cruel to Sybil and Tom’s daughter are her two greatest moments on the show.
"You're going to let them get away with it?"
"Oh more than that, I'm going to help them and so are you."
If only she knew how much O'Brien deserves that smackdown.
"Seems a pity to miss such a good pudding" You go; Violet!
I so wish they did a prequel to Downton Abbey from the Edwardian era when Robert was a young man looking for a wife and Lady Violet was the reigning Countess Grantham. I wonder if the Levinsons came to Europe and took part in the London season, or if Robert sent to America by his parents to find a wealthy wife. I hope they find some formidable ladies to fill the roles of the younger Mrs Levinson and then Countess Violet Grantham. The first encounters must have been legendary! Not forgetting Carson's beginnings as a footman under a strict senior butler or Mrs. Hughes and Patmore's early years as house and kitchen maids. Or O´Brien as a young chambermaid - eek!
I know this is unrelated, but Cora looks like a fashion plate in every dinner scene 😍
The scene with Ethel makes me laugh to the point of tears every time I see it. Cora’s face at the revelation, Violets quips. It’s 👩🏻🍳💋
Oo
I love when Cora helps Anna and Bates at the restaurant.
Bates handing his cane to the waiter/server was the cherry on top. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was the maitre 'd in charge of the restaurant. THEY didn't use the term server , back then.
I love Cora! It was her American spirit that saved Downton! She's one of my favorites next to Sybill.
Her American money first and foremost, but in many ways she was not aristocratic in the real sense of the word than the family she married into.
Spirit is all well, but her fortune…and it was a huge one was necessary to Robert. A point of comparison, Consuelo Vanderbilt, and of course, she was one of the richest (even among the rich girls of the era) but her fortune was around $2M during the latter 19th century…which makes it maybe 10 times more now. Cora may not have had the same fortune but certainly close. She talked about her family’s status with Bricker.
Agreed! Cora and Sybil were my favorite characters in the show.
I've said it before, but when Mr. Bates hands the waiter his cane is the highlight of that entire situation. 🤭
Loved Cora. She was a real badass when she needed to be.
Yes she was! They left out the scenes between her and Isabel over the command of Downton during the war.
@@paisley293 And the one where Isabel wanted Downton to continue being used as a convalescent home AFTER the war!.
But always in a ladylike manner.
A true lady of the house! An iron fist in silk and beauty, I love her!
Robert upset that Ethel had a illegitimate child when most men in his position probably fathered many illegitimate children and didn’t claim them as their children.
The even more hilarious thing is when the "line" was threatened by not having and heir those self same children could suddenly reappear n their sights
Because he knew the rules were different for girls, and having a child out of wedlock could jeopardise his precious daughter’s future. Luckily it all turned out for the better, both in the story and in history.
I think its more that Ethel did it in his house 🏠 😂 shaming herself while on the job and the family that employed her.
Carson's face of shock n confusion while he watched Cora scolded Robert was priceless 😂😂
One of my favorite Cora moments, this one where she tells off the Nanny, and when she says, to O'Brian, I'm going to help and so are you.
I was always proud of Cora. She's American!!
I adore Cora. She's so amazing and badass in her own quiet way.
That little clack of the tongue at 5:00. "I'm not even going to bother answering that silly question, I don't have time for that"
"It seems a pity to miss such a good pudding" Oh Violet.....she hits it out of the park with every line of dialog she says! I love Maggie Smith!
When Cora tells Robert by all means stay in the other bedroom if he hadn’t let a flirtation get out of hand reminds me of the Bible scripture, “Those without sin cast the first stone.” 😊
None are born sinners, thus it’s the innocent that must sin and “cast the 1st stone”
Especially since he'd had a flirtation with the maid AND given her money!
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Where is Cora’s scene calling Isobel’s bluff about leaving the Downton convalescent center? One of the best Cora moments ever.
She’s one of my favorite characters in this series ❤️
The dowager in the end totally made it.
3:40 EXCUSE ME?!? He actually did what he accused Cora of doing and MUCH more with Jane! Cora enjoyed Bricker’s company; THAT’S IT. Robert wanted to enjoy something else and if I recall correctly “with every fiber” of his being. But he gets mad because another man cherishes and RESPECTS his wife when he wouldn’t? Why do men have cognitive dissonance when it comes to this kind of stuff? Yes I’m BIG mad and triggered. 😂 THEN HE BLEW HER MONEY!!!! Guhl I’m SUPER mad now!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surely you realize that the scene was written to trigger women viewers like you.
Cheaters love to project their wrong doings onto their partners.
Cora is such a badass
"Your values have no place in a civilized home."
Which is very wrong- who represents this elitist and classist thinking more than nobility.
They are the reason for how nanny West saw the world.
Not defending her being malicious towards innocent children though.
Please do a Compilation of mrs patmore‘s funny remarks. Her wit makes me laugh almost every time she speaks - she‘s really the downstairs-violet-pendant
@2:44 Cora becomes my hero!!! I just love her response to the situation.
Cora is one of the loveliest characters on tv, ever. I really admire her. Enjoyed this collection a lot, thanks for putting it together
Elizabeth McGovern was superb in the role of Cora!
The soup kitchen scene moves me so much ❤️❤️❤️. Cora doesn’t overreact first - she calmly gets facts and makes decisions. Mary must have gotten all her business sense from Cora; certainly not Robert. I just realized all the daughters are Jewish, through their mother, although they practice Christianity and no doubt were baptized into the Episcopal church.
No they’re not Jewish because Cora’s not a Jewish. Judaism is passed matrilineally (through your mother) and Cora’s mom, Mrs. Levinson, was not Jewish. In one of the S5 episodes Lord Sinderby asked if Cora’s mom converted when she married Cora’s dad and she said her mom didn’t. So neither of them are Jewish and neither are the Crawley girls.
@@alberttsai8832 Thanks for letting me know.
@@alberttsai8832 ofcourse the Crawley girls were not jewish. They were the daughters of an earl. That would be unacceptable. He would have looked further rather than having jewish daughters.
That answer meny question about anti-Semitism! subtle
low brow English 💩
"If you can honestly say you have never let a flirtation get out of hand since we married. If you have never given a woman the wrong impression then by all means stay away. Otherwise, I expect you back in my room tonight." There was no room for debate in that.
"Otherwise, I shall expect you in my room tonight". She was so authoritative, probably reminiscent of how his mother dealt with him.
Seems a pity to miss such a good pudding 😀
best tv show ever
Oh Robert...Miss Jane's shadow sho did come back to haunt you when Cora told you to come back to her bedroom!
Cora rocks! I loved the scene where she comforted Edith after bring jilted at the alter. That waa amazing.
I remember the scene with West vividly! The little girl still inside of me would have loved someone like Cora to defend her!
Baxter was so disappointed that her little scheme didn't succeed. She was a piece of work.
The laser-eyes at 05:47 :)
Downtown Abbey --> I love the series and the movies. It is so realisticand beautiful filmed👌
My favourite character! And I looove how she goes full Eminem when she's mad 😂
and in the same monotone.
Okay, I'll admit it -- I am officially scared of Cora Crawley. lol 😉
I find it remarkable that Cora only raised her voice once in the entire series, and it wasn't even to Nanny West
Her handling of Nanny West could not have been done better. Imagine, a woman holding such malice towards an innocent child....and for such a stupid fecking reason.
My favourite DA character.
Cora's even more beautiful when she's dressed as herself. But perhaps Elisabeth is somewhat like Cora in her personal life, or perhaps not? either way Julian fellows made a brilliant decision on hiring her to play Cora.
Oh I love a lady with a transatlantic accent!
The look on her face, at 2:27 should go into the Hall of Fame for "Looks;" Garbo, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich would approve!
It’s always the women who understand don’t they?
You’d think that O’Brien learned by now that Cora is not your usual Noble lady
Too cute!!
"I wonder if she has an appropriate costume for every activity..." To the names of Oscar Wilde and Dorothy Parker, add the Dowager Countess of Grantham for a triumvarit of wit.
I love cora
Sybil was so like her.
Robert was clearly not worth Cora.
I liked Cora for the most part. The one thing they never addressed (at least not that I remember) was her attempts to persuade Robert to fire Bates. I know O’Brien poisoned her mind but Cora never voiced how she was wrong about Bates.
I finally understand that she was actually referring to the little girl his cousin. I thought she was always pertaining to a servant they walked by and his family not his own family. Horrible woman that definitely deserve to be let go and have no good recommendations. Cora is kinder than I would have been she would have been thrown out that night.
Yelling in lower caps...what a classy lady
💚😊
Violet 😂😂😂
The Dowager?! 😂
A lot of errors in the series, some occurrences just wouldn't have happened however the script is well done & one aspect is definitely not in dispute, that men & women often lived on the opposite poles of the moral compass.
Too many ads unwatchable
Because Cora is an American!
Nothing like hitting karma across a snobby waiter's face lol.
Cora "Pebble Mouth" Crawley.
What is a Charlotte Russe?
i'm not sure if it's a chocolate custard or creme, but something chilled and gooey hemmed in by ladyfingers.
@@chrismill5303 Bavarian cream (custard and whipped cream) molded and chilled surrounded by lady fingers. Not chocolate cream
@@judycroteau482 ahh thanks so much for that! * mimics cora's voice * sounds delicious!
I hate class snobs!! They make me ill emotionally.
Your dragon dictate is awful.
I never liked Cora, she was nasty at times, like when she had a go at poor Mrs Hughes over that coat, she was just too uppity, and never did much to contribute, just sitting around, poor Edith couldn't even confide in her, instead went to aunty Rosmand
But she later gave mrs hughes her apologies and explained she was upset about something else, and when she found out about edith and marigold she wanted them borh to come back and she never yelled or lectured her for getting pregnant
To be fair they all had their nasty moments really except Sybil. She was also still loads better than Rambunctious Robert
@@dreamsteddybearsmaster
Sybil died young. That’s why not. 😂
6:37 This is yet another scene from Downton Abbey that is unrealistic and a little dishonest. In this era, the women would have been more sensitive to the scandal than Lord Grantham. Cora would have questioned Mrs. Crawley on why she involved them in such a scandal, knowing that Ethel had been engaged in prostitution. The women would have left immediately with their hats covering their faces. But of course, this scene was written for a modern audience, and Lord Grantham had to be degraded and humiliated. Men, bad. Women, empowered at the expense of men.
to bring up a relevant quote, *MEN DON'T HAVE RIGHTS*
normally in those times, yes. but i keep in mind this is drama and not real life. cora herself is an oddity. i'm sure even in stateside high society you'd find people who were genteel but not so gentle as she's portrayed. and if i'd wanted to see a true edwardian aristocrat, i'd probably look to general melchett.
Amazing , you find a male victim whining about how bad men have it just everywhere 😂
Love yhe last scene!!!
No matter the social class the women said enough was enough!!!!!!❤❤❤
