One of the funniest Downton Abbey Tumblrs I've seen so far is Downton Abbeyonce, which is a collection of memes that combines Downton Abbey screen captures and Beyonce and Destiny's Child lyrics.
The British period drama has taken North America by storm after the successful first two seasons premiered in England. The show follows the lives of those living on the fictional estate Downton Abbey in Yorkshire around the time of the first world war.
Downton Abbey has been a hit with people of all ages, but it's clear by the popularity of the Downton Abbeyonce Tumblr that there are enough fans of both seemingly-opposite interests to create the funny niche blog. Some of the best combinations include a Matthew/Mary "if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it," and a Dowager Countess "tonight I'm not takin' no calls 'cause I'll be dancin'."
