It's even funnier when you find out Ramsey doesn't act like that on his European based shows.
He only acts like that in America because Americans love ragebait
Yeah, I always liked the UK Kitchen Nightmares more because of that. Feels less fake.
The UK show isn't blasting energetic music into your ears while doing jumpcuts and powerzooms all the time.
It's so much more quiet. Ramsey seems like a really likeable dude here.
Really enjoyed binging all of those episodes, couldn't stand the US ones.
Yeah the OG UK episodes are by far the best.
Reminds me of this old Schweppes ad. It always rang true. Warning: Facebook link, couldn't find it anywhere else!
Yeah, as an American that checks out.
Our "society," for lack of a better word because we really don't qualify, is hot garbage.
What? You don't enjoy our culture based on anger and fear?
I could handle anger and fear, it's the insatiable greed and cartoonishly blind worship of the greedy that makes me find this place intolerable and beyond hope. Our country literally celebrates inequality. We aren't a society, we're a handful of winners manipulating a couple hundred million losers into beating each other to death over scraps and false promises for further private profit.
Most of our hatred and fear flows out of the intentional division that having greed as our core cultural value stokes. Jealousy, schadenfreude, sociopathy, anymous, division, distrust, on and on. All in the name of people who already have embarrassing levels of wealth acquiring more. always more.
It's like watching someone who weighs 700 pounds scooter his 20th plate from a private buffet to his table, surrounded by malnourished onlookers who wish they were him and dream of being so morbidly obese that they too require a scooter to ambulate. It's disgusting on every side, it's painful to watch, it's absurd, and yet it's what is considered rational here.
He's signed with Fox. It's very strange when I realized the scripting, narrating, and editing for his shows had the same hyperbolic comments that Trump does.
I hate his American shows. I want to see the actual food, not the bullshit manufactured drama.
His American shows are all ego stroking. Lots of nonsequitor comments from contestants and guests on how incredible he is. How sexy (which is very awkward) he is. Omg I can't believe he's right here.
