WATCH: 'The Fresh Prince of Downton Abbey' Rap

US comedy site CollegeHumor.com may insist on spelling 'humour' wrong, but at least they know how to bring the funny. Witness: 'The Fresh Prince of Downton Abbey'.

Taking the award-winning ITV drama and reimagining its opening credits in the style of Will Smith's much-loved '90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, it shows the Crawley family in a totally new light.

This, all spoken as he spins around in an antique velvet chair. Naturally. To help you compare and contrast this with the original Fresh Prince intro, here it is for you below:

And if you're feeling like this video doesn't contain enough Dowager Duchess, here's something that'll make you feel much better - Dame Maggie Smith's best bits in the show. What. A. Woman.
