cora "i hate to lie"
mary "i'll do it. i don't mind lying"
The best line!
I love how eloquent and witty everyone is, and then Mary ends her fights with Edith with a "Ahhhhhh"
She’s over it and knows she won
Edith: You think yourself so superior.
Mary: I don't *think* anything. I *know* I am superior.
@S C that is not true... Marquess is still a title today actually. In the end I'd say they both won though as they are both happy and actually getting along. :)
@@hellolife6939 don't forget, it's all about the money, even for people with titles. Why do you think Lord Grantham married a rich American heirress in stead of titled young women (with a high chance that she's skinned)?
@@theobolt250 I mean Edith would have more money and land by the end of the series but does that really matter?
Everyone saying she treated Edith badly as if it wasn't mutual. Mary seemed more brutal just because she was better at it, but that doesn't mean that Edith didn't want to hurt her equally.
It was still terrible. I don't really understand siblings like that.
Exactly
Edith normally started it and Mary would finish it. I kept thinking when will Edith learn to not poke the bear? Lol
@@user-gm2dl5xl2c You were probably from one of those “nice” families I hear about in fairy tales.
@@natalieh8023Edith is the younger sister. She’s the middle child. Mary should’ve known better
Her close friendship with Tom at the end was one of my favorite aspects of the whole show! And she really took on Sybil's realistic feminist outlook towards the end; it suited her.
At first I just couldn't stand how cruel she was to Edith and how selfish she was after Matthew died in regards to her son, George. I liked her relationship with Carson and Anna but when she told Thomas that she understands what it is to say really hurtful things to people not knowing why, I realized she was a good person. It was difficult for her to express herself in the time period she was living just like Thomas. Downton Abbey is just the most perfect show.
It's a good thing I'm not Mary's mother. Boy would I have a a few things to say to her about how to treat (& value) her siblings. And how blind is their mother not to see how nastty she was? Though she didn't say those things in front of her mother.
@@chanieweiss4288 Then you should have said something to Edith too who also wasn't an angel and did/said nasty things too.
"i'm not sure how feminine i am." that always stuck with me. mary is a such an icon!!
I know right? I love her!
yesss same, everytime I saw that, I just AH
also the phase she went through of wearing very masculine things, like suits and ties and button ups was simply amazing
Absolutely brilliant!
She’s such a b*tch though. As Edith eloquently put it.
@@maya_no_more9069she’s a terrible person to her sisters
1:24 "You see I want you to marry me"
Mary: "👁👄👁 wHyyy?" 🤣
Yes I love how she just stands there blinking at him.
It's a very funny moment, but actually when you think of it it's a very good question to ask someone who wants to marry you. She has a point actually.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH
“I’m not going. They’re my pigs.” Mary’s cutest line in my opinion.
“He looks like a puppy saved from a puddle”
“Edith is as mysterious as a bucket”
Two of my favorite lines from Lady Mary
I loved Mary all the way through the show. Her wit is simply iconic right after the Dowager herself. ❤️
She will be the witty granny Dowager Countess when George is the Earl.
I absolutely hate her
@@ClaireEmilia Cool, Claire…
She has her grandmother's wit, definitely.
She irritates me so much
"I should hate to be predictable." - Mary Crawley at her wedding
The way that she openly inferred Thomas would want to look at male dockworkers is iconic
hahah She's so funny! I can't even remember the what chapter it was.
if we all learn to *dress ourselves*, we could save fOrTy ThOuSaNd A yEaR
What episode is this from? I don’t recall this line
@@cristinapardo2920 Looks like a clip from a TV charity fundraiser and not part of an actual episode
@@simonf2007 It's hilarious actually! Such amount of money saved in such easy way
Yesss, you included my 2nd favourite Downton quote: "I'm going upstairs to take off my hat."
Beaten only by "What is a weekend?"
Mine is the weekend one. But , don't understand the hat one. What does that mean? Why does she have to go upstairs to take off her hat?
@@whotelakecity2001 when the ladies wore hats. It flattened their hairstyle. Plus it was held on with many hat pins. So they went upstairs to freshen up their hair.
She probably called Anna when she got up there
also the way old lady Grantham pronounces weekend is a so her I literally ceased to exist when I watched it
My very favourite is when Sybil tells the Dowager : 'granny, you are a romantic'. The dowager stops, is silent for a moment and responds: 'nobody has ever accused me of that'. I laughed so hard.
I love her! Can't get enough of her. Oh yes, she can be snarky, mean-spirited, and snobbish, but isn't that sort of part of her charm? Also, put together that nastiness with her (many) moments of kindness, her intelligence, and fierce sense of independence, and you get an all-around very compelling, complex character.
I agree. LOVE Mary!
I think her unkindness overpowers her "charm". I mean she is just plain horrible to poor Edith. She's just not a big person at all. But she is popular because of her nastiness - its entertaining to watch.
How is being unnecessarily mean and self-centered charming?
@@whatarehumans3680 Because it makes her a complex, interesting character to watch?
@@nazgullord3198 Sure, but after a while it gets boring. She’s like this the entire time and there are basically no consequences. She turns 30 and remains the same- constantly picking on her sister because of her own downfalls-
One of my favorite moments for Mary is when she mistakenly believes someone was rude to Tom (this was recently after Sybil died), and she turns sharply to him with wide, furious eyes and says, "Who was rude?!" in a tone that suggested she was going to make whoever it was pay. It was a very small moment, but the amount of outrage she showed on her normally super composed face over her favorite sister's husband being mistreated... I just love it. XD
I totally agree!
She's ✨iconic✨
I love how everyone was against Tom and when Sybil died he just became a big part of their family, they all were so sad when he left and they love him like a son and a brother
He was the son Robert never had. Same with Matthew.
Yess I loved Tom's growth in the series :' ) he still held his beliefs but learned that families like the Crawley's were just people doing only what they knew
I'm so glad there are no Mary haters in the comments
“All those handsome stewards strutting down the boat deck” lmao
“Ive been married I know everything”
I love how Mary’s wit evolves throughout the series. She’s always been the type to say things just to get a rise out of people. I also love her complicated relationship with Edith. They never truly get a happy ending, but that’s realistic. And we truly seem her come into her own and take life by the horns after multiple earth-shattering tragedies!
Her ending with Edith is not the Holywood one, but gives much hope that it's really the end of their fights and Mary finally starts looking at her as her only and last sister, just like Edith was to after Sybil's death
1:49 “I’m not sure how feminine I am.” I freaking LOVE that line. It’s so progressive and just makes me go HELL YEAH! It’s just every time I hear it, it makes me so happy.
It's not progressive, it's just honest self-reflection. Not everything is about being ''progressive''...
Well, in 1918 that was still a big thing to say
Love Mary completely! She’s one of those alpha females who are gorgeous, confident, witty, charming, honest, have a certain power over men, keep their family close, have contradictions, love truly, take charge, treat the servants well, and can land on their feet after any debacle. Mary is enigmatic!
Agreed. I think she takes after her grandmother, the Dowager: conservative in appearance, liberal at heart.
Only teens adhere to the ''alpha''/'beta'' categorization. Just say that she's fabulous, complex - anything rather than this ''alpha'' bs
5:51
Aww. He called her his sister
The role of Lady Mary Crawley was totally made for Michelle Dockery. She's absolutely perfect for the role, I can't seemed to understand why Hollywood wouldn't offer her more roles. She's super talented and I still think she's very underrated
Not every actor needs to be cast in blockbusters to be deemed successful. She had several lead roles on American TV, including Defending Jacobs, and that's already huge success.
"If we all learn to dress ourselves, we could save £40,000 a year..."
I keep thinking about this. Does that mean that each of the four* that would have dressed the Crawleys would have gotten ~10 pounds per year as their wage?
(*Anna, Bates, Carson, Whatshername)
@@lizzalkula376 Yes, but keep in mind, back then (c.1925) , £10,000 would roughly amount to £113,000 today.
*She is a QUEEN and i stan*
I love that Anna knows about all of Mary’s escapades and never judges her and always sands by her no matter what. There friendship is so wonderful!
“I’m going upstairs to take off my hat”
I love Mary! She's done some horrible things but equally has done some incredible acts of kindness. Her and Barrow are my favourites mainly because they're so complex and change so much.
She had me at “Tony you don’t know me”
*WTF I CANT* 😭🤚
"I'm tempted to remind them of what they're missing" iconic queen bitch
I just LOVE how they wrote the women in this show. They’re all so complex. This show was never afraid to give them negative or toxic traits, then call them out and- most importantly- have them GROW. So often, female characters are given toxic traits and simply forced to suppress them later on. These characters don’t actually fix anything. It’s like an emotional plot hole. There’s real growth in Mary and Edith throughout the seasons, and they turn from spoiled brats inches from each other’s throats to incredibly powerful, wise, and kind women.
You are so right! You put it so beautifully! X
The way Mary helped to save Anna baby shows she was a kind human being ❤❤
Mary is the consummate woman. Eloquent, witty and stunning.
You wrote the most beautiful sentence for her. I agree completely!
She had so many good lines, that were executed perfectly! I wish I could start this show anew.
It's on Netflix now so you can. I just did🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🏾
I've worn out the first set and am now on my second,,,LOVE Downton Abbey!
“I’d rather sleep on the roof than share with Edith”
*Iconic*
not mary and matthew dying laughing after someone almost dies
Nah it was only a mouthful of salt, he wasn't choking
Edith : you think yourself so superior don’t you
Marry : Ahh ☺️
Loved her all the way through the show! Smart, witty, pragmatic, strong willed and stubborn, passionate yet self disciplined, firm yet tender. I could go on. When the chips are down, you want to have Mary around!
After the Dowager Countess, she is my favourite then Matthew and Tom.
Mary is Violet in her youth, and Violet is Mary when she ages. I have a suspicion, George would be a Robert. 😂
I feel like Mary is more of a man rather than a woman who really cares and/or tries to work or think for her family.
@@hado1916 What a sexist thing to say... So to you only men care/work/think? I know that the series is first half of the 20th century - but we are in the 21st now and you still apply this outdated thinking? She was a PROGRESSIVE FORWARD-THINKING WOMAN, not a ''man'', get it straight!
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 For me, she is absolutely no progressive woman just a selfish woman who thought they could deal with everything but actually most of the time she ruined things. That is not a powerful woman. A powerful one can be a subtle but effective and determined one, not necessary the face of the family. Also, please read my comment carefully. I didn;t say only men care/work/think. I said a real woman cares and thinks truly for her family first.
"If we learned to dress ourselves, we cab save forty thousand a year." my my how things have changed lol
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for
When she heard about Anna being pregnant her line: 'Lord knows the problem isn't Bates!' Literally kills me every single time. Love her (and Anna ofc) so damn much
You should look up what literally means
This is what makes Downton Abbey the best show of all time.
Mary is far and away my favourite character in the series (and the movie). I sometimes like to think of her as "The Empress of Downton".
Love this! She's also my fave. I went to a Downton party a few years ago and dressed up as her.
A downton party?? I need to find myself one of those!!
You are so lucky!!!
Lady Mary's eye rolls always HAD me! 😍
Finally. I've been waiting YEARS for this. All Hail Queen Mary!
Apparently Cora has short memories about the Pamuk situation when she’s asking Mary if “she has questions” lol
Herself and Maggie Smith had some of the best lines
True
Mary, when she’s good, she’s good! When she’s bad she’s bad!!!!
Apart from the lovely Dowager Granny, Mary is my favorite character on this show. She reminds me of myself. Strong. Independent. And thinks for herself.
Beautiful, love our Lady Mary.
Love her voice.
"I'll remind you of that the next time I scratch the car"
Oh, so that explains the crash
Lady Mary is always my fav character, I love her so much.
Also this 0:59 is one of my favourite moments, they were so cute there
I love her. in one side she is ruthlessness, on the other she is gentle and kind, alway a lady. really, just love her.
She is perfect for this role, in fact the whole cast was definitely chosen with great care.
Another favourite is when she met Matthew for the first time. When she stared him down and say that it was all a joke.
the ultimate girlboss
Yesss the downton meme channels I’ve been waiting for these
"Tony, you don't know me" a line I should've said too.
She's so my favorite. And wonderful actress.
I wish I have her spirit and confidence. The way she shooting eye daggers to her granny and the Dowager Countess looks frightened lol
Edith was just as bad as Mary. She sent the letter about Pamuk and called Mary a s*ut and then takes a lover and gets pregnant herself🤣
they were engaged, and edith was his heir, thats how she inherit the publishing company
Right!
@@betaririzqikaer2451 Their engagement was unofficial because he was still married and he went to Germany to find out how he could divorce his sick wife. So, techinically, Edith was his mistress - and she still did something she judged Mary for aka had sex before marriage. Also, being his heir is unrelated to the comment at all. She was his heir but not because they were ''engaged'' but because they were having an affair which by standards of that time was outrageous.
"The working classes are coming up but I'd be very surprised if you are." I died!!!!😂😂😂
The last scene really got me XD especially after accounting for inflation
"if we could learn to dress ourselves" lmao i love her
The fantastical fashion the sharp biting tongue of a very brave woman of authenticy superb perfect editing of a true masterpiece of film footage of beyond an excellent series.
I have to say that, as someone with a domineering older sister as well, it made it hard sometimes for me to like Mary. I could relate to Edith SO much in terms of dealing with her sister. I also couldn’t understand how so many men fell for Mary when she has such a complicated character. When she was suffering she threw petty tantrums so that everyone around her had to suffer as well. Still, I’m happy she got her Happy End and in a way everyone got what they deserved. But I chuckled when Edith got one over her, in the end; rising above her in status.
I have an elder brother and two younger siblings, so I am both the eldest daughter/ granddaughter as well as the middle child in some way. Watching DA I found I could relate to both Mary and Edith; but somehow I always related more to Mary and liked her more. There's something about being the eldest daughter that is too complex to get if you are not one, there's a tremendous pressure and projection from caregivers growing up, which pushes you to be domineering and as strong as you can get. From my perspective younger siblings often have it better, they're free to be themselves more. This is why I feel despite the appearances, Edith was more privileged than Mary, she could afford more freedom and acceptance from people around her than Mary ever could. This is why I get your point, it's a question of perspective and how one relates to a certain situation, plus family dynamics are too complex to see through a black and white perspective.
@@meadowsanddawn7464 I get were you’re coming from. Still, I think as on older sibling you should try to guide your younger siblings and not throw them under the bus whenever possible. I experienced that myself often enough and now try to be different to younger cousins, at least.
Yeah, Edith was not the best sister as well, but she mainly was this way because Mary constantly bad mouthed her and tried to show everyone around them how much better she was than Edith. She was only kinder when she was with kind men (Matthew and Talbot). There was one moment were Mary showed her real cruel side and that was when Bertie was announced the heir of the title Marquis of Hexam (or however it’s written). Tom pointed out how Mary couldn’t even be happy for Edith at the prospect of marrying someone that was higher in stand than anyone else in their family, even her. And then asked if she was contemplating taking Bertie from her sister just out of spite (and because she was unhappy anyway because of having broken up with Talbot) and how she should be ashamed of herself if that was so. Mary didn’t even deny it, just said something along the lines of “I don’t need a lecture from you”. What, for me, proves that she thought about it, if only for a second. Then she destroyed her sisters relationship by telling Bertie about Marigold in the rudest way possible; even though it was really not her place to do so in any way. Granted, she did help repairing their relationship in the end, but I don’t know if I would have ever been able to forgive that. In my opinion Edith was right in trying to cut off her sister from her life, even if she didn’t go through with it, in the end. I love the show and all the characters, but I don’t think it’s right that Mary is praised over the moon while Edith gets nothing but hate for the most part. Everyone has their faults.
@@NikiSakura13 UGH ANOTHER EDITH FAN
Interesting. Even though I have a domineering older sister too, I liked Mary so much more than Edith. As a younger sister I thought Edith was terrible. She was constantly jealous, passive agressive and couldn't even see the good side in Mary. I think her behaviour is what always provoked Mary to act that way towards her.
I like both of them but I always remember how Sybil said Edith was a lot nicer after the war. So I always got the impression that Edith used to be bitter and mean to both sisters and Mary was equally awful to her. And even though they both seemed to grow into adults, Mary never really left that dynamic behind
this makes me want to watch downton Abbey again. bit thinking I'll have to go through matthew nad sybil's death again just punches me in the gut. i can't do that again.
Haha I love her so much! She's probably my 4th favourite character, but she's the embodiment of my internal dialogue!
(My favourite is Thomas, followed by Edward Courtentay, followed by Sybil, so I doubt one could complain about Mary being only my fourth favourite!)
i’m glad i’m not the only one whose favorite is thomas!!
Edward Courtenay lived in the 16th century, and I'm fairly sure none of his descendants are on the show. Or are you talking about some actor that played him? Confusing if so, since you refer to all the others by the names of their characters.
@@flyboy152 lmao I'm talking about the downtown abbey character of that name??
@@ian_edits_ And there is no character on DA with that name that I know of. Which character is it? The only Edward on the show was the Prince of Wales.
@@flyboy152 2x2, it was blind officer
Proposal "I want to marry you", answer "Why?". 🤣 lmao
Mary is my absolute favourite character, try to change my mind 🫶🏼
Imperious and sharp. I love her!
excellent compilation! I love Downtown Abby!
Just love it I wztch it over and over more please
3:06 damn she be tellin the truth though
Just another amazing Julian Fellows creation.
Lady Mary's evolution from the opening scene... all the way to the last episode... was just another piece of this show's appeal.
The evolution of ALL of the characters was something... but Lady Mary's was epic.
I don’t understand all the hate she gets. Edith is more deserving of hate in my opinion. Yeah Mary was definitely classist but she had her moments. She made sure William saw his mom before she died, she helped in the hospital, supported Sybil and Branson, took Lavinia’s presence in stride and tried to help her and be her friend, and offered her own bed to Anna when she went into labor. I could go on.
I think the hate she gets are mostly because of her stone cold bitchy attitude towards some people especially Edith.
I never understood people's fondness of Edith. I think she had a terrible character.
@@cbrownes same here. she’s so annoying and entitled
@@rickmanalwayss Have you seen Mary? :D
@@SimplymeSVEN18 like I said though, Mary had her moments. I personally didn’t see any moments where Edith was selfless besides maybe what she did in the hospital that made me like her.
UGH I LOVED THESE SERIES 😭😭😭
She is awesome!
“They’re my pigs”
yesss she’s such an icon
I love Mary and Matthew giggling like children at the dinner table when Sir Antony ate the salty food. Mary imitating him later, "Arrrrh, dear G-D!!!" Funny. .... PEACE to ALL.
Don’t even have to watch it and I already like it.
Without a doubt. Mary Crawley would be the only woman in the world for me.
She's soooooo iconic omggg✨😫 she is my fav
omg incredible, I never thought downton abbey could make me laugh
Lmao the difference between Mary and Edith was that Mary had so many redeeming qualities and Edith just seemed like a mean/selfish person.
She’s my queen ❤️
I know people hate her cause she was so mean to Edith but ugh she was so witty and clever with her comebacks, I loved her. lol
I liked Mary, and Edith was just as mean spirited to her in return, so it's not like she was the victim lol. Edith though, I always felt kinda bad for - classic middle child syndrome. I was glad that both sisters got happy endings by the end of the series and I think in the end made peace with each other.
thank you for showing up in my recommended youtube
i got her has one of my top three on open psychometrics and it’s my biggest flex
3:05-3:15: I just love this woman!
Mary - At least I’m not fishing with no bait
Edith - right. I’m out 🫡
Don't get in the car Mathew!!!!!!
iconic behaviour if you ask me
1:01 she’s so cute when she giggles like this
