Chef Gordon Ramsay Meme Template

Deliver an absurdly specific verdict with the volume turned up. The joke is how far the criticism goes over a small mistake.

Ramsay leans over the kitchen counter mid-shout. The pose makes a caption sound like an urgent demand or a furious assessment of the result in front of him.

An exaggerated comparison works better than a plain insult. Describe the problem, then take it one step beyond what could possibly be true.

Gordon Ramsay’s exacting, outspoken television persona in shows such as Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares became material for image macros. The captions often imitate an angry verdict about badly prepared food. [1]

Know Your Meme documents a Gordon Ramsay Meme Generator page from July 2010 and a similar Quickmeme page from December 2011. Undercooked-food jokes were a recurring theme. [1]

Use one caption below Ramsay’s face, across the lower counter. You can write a complete comparison there without covering the expression.

Food is the natural subject, but the same delivery works for weak passwords, messy slides, or an unfinished task. Give the complaint a concrete detail rather than just calling the result bad.

The verdict

An exaggerated complaint about the result.

• Make the exaggerated comparison easy to picture.
• Keep the subject and the verdict in the same sentence.
• Use the kitchen shout for comic overreaction to a small mistake.
