'Downton Abbey' Sundays - 'Sh*t the Dowager Countess Says'

'Downton Abbey' Sundays - 'Sh*t the Dowager Countess Says'

The phenomenon that is “Shit Girls Say” has gotten out of hand having spawned dozens of knock-offs including “Shit Gay Guys Say,” “Shit Yogis Say,” “Shit Straight Girls Say to Lesbians” and many more – some of which are very funny and some that are just “eh.” But while the “Shit Girls Say” spin-off videos are nearing a natural ebbing, one clever YouTube poster combined the trend with another current pop culture juggernaut, the Golden Globe winning Downton Abbey, in a video that pays homage to the razor-like wit of Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess.

The phenomenon that is “Shit Girls Say” has gotten out of hand having spawned dozens of knock-offs including “Shit Gay Guys Say,” “Shit Yogis Say,” “Shit Straight Girls Say to Lesbians” and many more – some of which are very funny and some that are just “eh.”

But while the “Shit Girls Say” spin-off videos are nearing a natural ebbing, one clever YouTube poster combined the trend with another current pop culture juggernaut, the Golden Globe winning Downton Abbey, in a video that pays homage to the razor-like wit of Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess.

Even among a terrific cast that includes Elizabeth McGovern, Penelope Wilton and Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie manages to steal the show with her searing one-liners.

Without further ado her is “Sh*t the Dowager Countess Says.”
