He may sound mean, but he's never exactly...wrong.

he's like a drill sergeant for cooking

Wow the feeling of the show is so different early on because of the lack of constant suspenseful background music. It seems so much more quiet without it lol

The first season of Hell's Kitchen...feels so different from the goofiness that it became in later seasons

i'd be so happy and honored if gordon called me a useless donkey

I love it when he argues with customers

4:13 - 4:55 This is why I would jump at the opportunity to eat anywhere this dude is running things. He is honest, thoughtful and refuses to lower his standards even if things will take longer. I would gladly sit down and wait knowing that I would be severed the best dish possible.

"Earlier, Jimmy lost a lobster" XD omfg crying

it's not personal. he's a motivator. he really wants you to be the best of the best.

this man is straight savage

If Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay went at it.... Oh my god... Beautiful.

Whenever he says "Come here, you" it reminds me of when I'm about to get yelled at by a parent. Ah I love Gordon 💕

4:30, loved when Gordon told that guy off.

They ordered a pizza....fucking awesome

"I'm not a quitter"... "You're not a cheff either"... Ouch!!!! Lol

"Just ignore... these... bimbos." XD I love how he says bimbos there :'D

I've never had a problem with Ramsay's handling of the kitchen, though he himself has readily admitted that he was a different person at that point in his life. Much more aggressive than now. When he gets upset these days, it's still intense, but less personal. It's more observational anger than jump down your throat anger. Around this time in his life, Ramsay was dealing with a lot of problems in his life which he has said caused this approach. He can't even watch Boiling Point without feeling embarrassed. Straight out of his own mouth.

Ramsay seems so chill out of the kitchen but I would never want to work with him in the kitchen.

What people need to understand is that the producers and directors of the show WANT Ramsay to be rude and act like an ass for dramatic effect. If you watch his other shows youll find out hes actually a very nice guy....

His accent seems a lot stronger in this first season compared to the current season.

I like how he talks shit to the customers too hahaha

I'm not a quitter.... Your not a cook ether

Hes so calm in this...

I'm crying at the "just give me the fucking spinach!"

8:10 "Earlier, Jimmy lost a lobster"

"I didn't come to America to be second best." Have a fucking salute GR.

He's being a COACH and preparing them on how to run a restaurant and work well under pressure....he's bringing out the best of them

I bet it's terrifying to cook with him. I'd cry instantly and curl up on the floor

i don't get why the blonde women thought that they were more important when it would have been clear a lot of people hadn't got their food yet also

back when everyone thought he was mean 😂 when really he's only trying to ensure quality food and service

I cracked up when Ramsey called Andrew's "Absolute Penne" _"absolute dogshit"._

I so much prefer hells kitchen before all the loud dramatic music and voice over , can actually feel the real atmosphere :)

i really enjoyed season 1, what set it apart from the rest was that none of these chefs had any clue what they were getting into as opposed to other seasons where competitors have watched the show and know what to expect. I always thought it was cool how Ralph was the blue team's one man army and Michael was the red team's one man army

They phoned for a pizza LOLL

I like the way he says fuck face

"THE SPINACH JEFF. THE SPINACH" LOLOLOL

I could be Gordon Ramsay just swearing at people when they're cooking and telling them their meals are shit

Damn season 1 looks so intense! I've never seen Gordon Ramsay act like that.

"some fucking bimbo" GORDON I FUCKING LOVE YOU

10:02 After Ramsay says shut it down, it sounds like someone's saying awww

First several seasons are absolutely amazing, yes Gordon is very tough, but you get the feeling he is really trying to teach them something and there is no annoying background buildup music for every single conversation. After that, it just became comical, reality tv show similar to big brother with crazy people and Gordon just shouting all the time. Same thing with kitchen nightmares, another great show that just became comical after several seasons. Why did Ramsay do this? I effin loved these shows

I totally guessed what Ramsay was going to say at the beginning lol

"I may get upset, but the most important thing is it's not personal" like bro that's professionalism right there

I miss when they had Gordon commentating like this

I can only imagine if the customers hear him. "Geez, this food is taking quite a bit of ti-" "GET BACK IN YOUR FUCKING SECTION FUCKER" "I think its time to leave."

How do you 'lose a lobster'? It's not a set of car keys...

watching this video and laughing hysterically is the reason im going to the deepest depths of hell

"Dont take it personally" there you go people

This stressed me out just watching it.. I can't imagine how they felt lol

One does not shout back at Gordon Ramsay.

Theres only 2 things with no chill: The Gordon Ramsay the Goat and Narrator-Kun

Love watching this! Funny as hell to see people in these stressed out situations and watching there reactions.

"Come here you, come here you." "No!"

I should've BEEN watching Hell's Kitchen cuz this "guy" is the roast master

i just love how shocked they are at the brutal honesty on Ramsey

customer goes up, Ramsey "can you just shut the fuck up for a minute" Lady" Yes absolutely" 0:31 ahhaha fucking love tis guy

I found this show to be quite entertaining and Gordon makes me laugh sometimes

The old seasons r better than the new seasons

4:17 I love how surprised the customer is when the ‘boss’ doesn’t blindly take their side, you can tell he’s thinking “wait that’s illegal”. Good on Ramsay.

its amazing how much of a difference the dramatic maraccas and music have on the tone of the show

LOL at 1:04 when he shoves the plate of food back into their chests, like a boss.

Why are these customers complaining about the wait when they can just watch Ramsey curse at the chef's

The earlier seasons are so much better, in the later ones it sounds so much like Gordon is putting his temper on more as an act. In this it seems fully real, more like the Boiling Point series

I also like when Chef Ramsay backs up the teams when a customer plans

Why did the chicken cross the road? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FUCKING COOK IT

No way, i watch this when I'm having a bad day and it makes me instantly happy :)

3:15 "I may get upset". LOL. He is always upset.

Several reasons why i personally enjoy season 1 more then many of the other seasons and why this season is unique 1. Literally most of these contestants fo not work in a restaurant as a profession, maybe as a part-time but it is really a cooking competition amongst amateurs trying to prove to a world class chef they have what it takes. Later seasons, you can have whole teams of executive chefs and they still mess up, which makes you wonder are they really that terrible or is it maybe for drama. 2. There’s way less unnecessary background music for suspense. It’s quiet and intense at the same time, quiet enough to hear the pots and tongs clanging but intense enough to feel the atmosphere 3. You can feel Season 1’s Chef Ramsay is the original Chef Ramsay from the UK, the Boiling Point and The F Word Chef Ramsay, and he isn’t yelling his balls off like in later seasons which i think, is mainly for dramatic effects. He coaches, motivates and only scolds them when they make the worst mistakes. Season 1 feels more real and like a actual cooking competition/cooking show and its these simple areas that can make this show great to watch.

key and peele got this spot on

3:19 Ramsey: It's not personal.....10 seconds later....Ramsey: Fuck off you donkey! (shoves the plate of food into their chest 1:08 1:46 )

“You do fuck all for me either” I love this goddamn man

He’s much calmer in the first season believe it or not and there’s less dustbin abuse.😂

So that's what he sounds like uncensored...

Why did the chicken cross the road? because it's FUCKING RAW!

"you gave me a plate of risotto that was FUCKING disgusting" lol

04:30 this is fuckin golden. and the way jean phililpe just points to the guest to his spot after gordon tells him to fuck off is awesome.

As awesome as Ramsey is he's going to get on someones bad side one day

I was surprised when he swore at the customer.

That’s where I got very interested with culinary arts and restaurant business. I was about 12 years years old when I was watching this first season. Now I’m 25 years old and I still watched it. And that’s where I learned to swear from worlds greatest chef Gordon Ramsay.

I love how when the contestants are interviewed they all act like they're not bothered by Gordon and then when he's actually shouting at them in the kitchen they are usually on the verge of tears

Just hypothetically speaking, if Jesse Pinkman from breaking bad wasn't a fictional character he existed in real life and he was in an episode of this, I wonder how it would go down, would it be a deadly love and hate relationship.

Swearing and insulting people is British culture. I saw it all the time in the UK. It should never be taken personally. Before the show, producers should have told the Americans about British culture. A lot of them take it to the heart. The tongue is a powerful muscle, and the British people are orators. They like to trip people up with words and phrases. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Love how he calls the chunky lads “Big Boy” hahaha

I laughed out loud because of your comment. Thanks for that.

'they et it'

Jimmy you've gotta relax 30 secs later... WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING RISOTTO

This is amazing

This is brilliant

He may be the roughest guy out there, shove your hard worked food right in your chest, give you a beating of "fuck fuck fuck", but still he's a professional, if not the best chef, moreover, he was never personal against anyone.

9:24 He said No to Gordon Ramsay... / Might as well say 'n¤&&#r' to Obama

Not too much yelling in this season, he’s just brutally honest.

the way he talks to the customers is fucking gold

Those 2 blondes were CLEARLY actresses...If 2 rich white girls were told by a cook to "Shut the fuck up for 30 seconds" They'd raise hell and call the fire department and police department and pest control and shit. They didn't even say a single word regarding him telling them to stfu, aside from "*sigh* Nobody is listening to us :("

Haha Ramsay is the man

lol at the end, "tell the customers im shutting the place down" !!!! WTF!!!!! Man i love him

i could watch this all day

This is my first time watching this, I must say, this guy is mean!!!! But funny lol

In an 2013 interview (wikipedia sourced) Ramsay said that he was acting to be angry hence this season was the only time he was being real. After season 2, it was clear that the dumb american audiences saw potiential in Ramsay's anger that the producers would force Ramsay to lose the plot. This would continuously happen until Season 8. I think by Season 9, he realised that all the shouting, being aggressive was useless and started becoming more of a 'teacher' than a 'dictator'. I think the show should be cancelled because he does not shout or swear often and that was the fun of it. Season 14 was by far he's calmest season in history.

Has anybody noticed Chef Scott always looks on the verge on going Super Saiyan on the contestants when Gordon gets angry

I watch gordon ramsey before going to work everyday. I have so much more confidence and I get what I want. Thank you GR!
