    I love the chairman. He’s not nearly as funny as his uncle but a hell of a lot better looking.

    • Zorat says:

      You know Kaga’s not really his uncle right? They made all that “in the words of my uncle” stuff up.

    • SaraCVT says:

      Oh, yeah, Kaga cracked me up, with all his outfits that, I swear, he bought from Vegas showgirls or possibly dude ranches. Did you ever see the cowboy outfit–I just about fell apart at the sight of a very Japanese man dressed like a Holstein cow!

  2. While I did love this, it didn’t have my favorite – HALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!

  3. Me says:

    HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!

    Love the chairman’s ability to look embarrassed while presenting the ingredient. Kind of like poor Drew Carey on The Price is Right. He actually looks apologetic while hosting. “I’m sorry you have to watch this piece of crap show…and I’m embarrassed to be a part of it!”

  4. He’s such a great actor, I haven’t felt this moved since Walter Matthau’s star turn in the Bad News Bears.

  5. CEQ says:

    Yeah my 2 favorites were missing too, Big Eyed Tuna! and Fresh Beeeeeeeeans!

  6. Catherine says:

    My favorite is “BREAKFAAAAAAST!” But this was truly hilarious.

  7. Daniel says:

    beeeeeeeeer
    oh man i love that

  8. Drew says:

    BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Someone needs to give this guy acting lessons. Oh wait…

  9. SaraCVT says:

    I love the Chairman. He makes me giggle. (But why did he have the two spooky henchmen at one point? Anybody remember that show and why they were there? I must have missed that one.)

    • Laura says:

      SaraCVT- That was the Halloween episode and the scary henchmen were from the Broadway production of “Young Frankenstein.” Logically, for Halloween, the secret ingredient was offal.

  10. Ok says:

    Whew! I’m tired after watching all that unnecessary screaming.

  11. Lana says:

    You say POHHH-TAY-TOHHH!!!
    I say TOHHH-MAY-TOHHH!!!
    *tee hee*

  12. Hookerbot says:

    He’ll never be as awesome as Chairman Kaga.

  13. Meg says:

    You all have no idea of how much I HATE the dumbass chairman. He is an absolute waste of hair and teeth. He can take his silk shirts and sound effects when shifting his eyes (which is asinine anyway), and his mostly unintelligible screaming back to where he came from. If they would get rid of his and Jeffrey whatshisname ass as judge off the program, there may be hope.

  14. Veganista says:

    Today’s secret ingredient…HUMAN FLESH!!!

  15. MsFoodie says:

    I just fucking laughed so hard I cried. Oh make it stop, it hurts!

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMANGOS!!!!!!!!

    BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Patrick says:

    Long time reader…first time commenter. Wow. By the halfway point, I seriously was laughing hard enough to scare my dog. Something about that overly theatrical music repeating itself over and over with his crazy reactions just made me lose it.

    Almost as good as the Sandra Lee compilation.

  17. Alexa says:

    This was hilarious but was missing the best one in my mind:
    LLLLLEEEEMMMOOOONNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
    (lemon)

  18. Jersey Girl says:

    I once had IC on in the kitchen as I was making dinner and my honey was in the next room. The secret ingredent was butter.

    After a while he comes in the kitchen yelling “BUTTER isnt a secret ingredent….its something you make normal food with…whats tomorrow salt, pepper ohhhhh maybe olive oil?”

    BTW he knows nothing about cooking but it really annoyed him. LMAO.

  19. Chris says:

    I feel like I need to chug a 5 hour energy drink and punch someone to come down from this high

  20. Wendy says:

    Aka the progression of the Chairman’s hair growth.

  21. Chickety China, the Chinese Chicken says:

    Hilarious. “Chahah-cuu-late!”

  22. Dustin says:

    PAR-MAY-GEE-ANO REY-GEE-A-NOO!!

    Ah, Giada would be so proud..

  24. Nikki says:

    I liked the show back in the day when they had odd ingredients. Now it’s always something common in the kitchen. Oh well, I guess they ran out of crazy shit to make them cook with.

  25. Jess says:

    How could they have missed the breakfast one!!!!

  26. Jake says:

    Ew. I hate him. I always have- like, he’s not funny. I always thought he was overly dramatic and waaaaay to into his “role”. It’s not acting, it’s not coming off as funny- he just comes off as this odd-pride ridden man who’s presense is just awkward for everyone. He should have considered a career in theater. He’s good looking atleast.. But still, no. Just stop.

  27. Alexandra says:

    Watch this video once and then watch it again, pausing your media player at key points when he makes his funny faces (usually right after he says the ingredient(s) name. His faces are hilllllaaaaaaarious!

  28. shouldbestudying says:

    I love me some meat, but I did feel a little bad for all those little piggies, especially considering how Jeffery Steingarten is only fat enough to eat one by himself.
