Saturday Night Live took on the new DOWNTON ABBEY film with a spoofed trailer during last night's episode.

The trailer featured quotes such as:

  • "The beloved TV show is now a feature film. And it's mostly about cleaning."
  • "I absolutely love this film," say all moms.
  • "Feels like watching the sun set on white people as a whole."

The trailer even took a Joker turn at the end.
