  • The Iron Chef

    I've heard the show is a huge hit in the US.

    So much, that it was included as an easter egg in WarCraft III.


    An Israeli channel has recently acquired it and started showing it. The show is absolutely hilarious

    You watch funny japanese people turning cooking into a "Professional Wrestling" like contest.

    It sets up (rather poor) drama, tension, story line, and makes live commentary on the cooking process, with court-side reporters (what is this? soccer?)

    Rarely have I watched a show so hilarious and silly.

    Anyone else watches it?

    I've watched it on the food network from time to time. It's actually much more entertaining then any cooking show has a right to be.

        The airing of The Iron Chef ceased here some months ago, but from what I saw, I must agree with you. The music taken from broken arrow/gladiator in the beginning is absolutely hilarious.

        After some time though the show gets a little repetitive and the english dubbing gets annoying.

          Fukui-San!!

          Yes??

          One of my people has just told me what the ingredients are to the pink sauce you see.

          Ah?

          It's little pink piggies.

          Oh.

            The people at my office thought it was amazing that Iron Chef (Riori Tetsujin) is the biggest cooking show in America. Had a good conversation about it after that, in which I discovered that Japanese people don't like Masaharu Morimoto as much as Americans. Both nations, however, recognize the superior skill of Chen Kenichi.

              I've found the huge panda in WC3 as well as the Hydralisk.

              How do I get other easter eggs?

                The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                      Btw, I'm positively sure that the schollar professor judge character is planted by the production. His remarks are too idiotic. He could criticize one person and congratulate another on the same thing.

                      Ecth - I was reffering to the "annoyed" sounds that all creatures make after you click them alot. Some creature (can't tell who now) after you pester him long enough, makes a parody of Iron Chef.

                      There are also parodies of the Simpsons, batman, monty python, ricky lake, american pie, and many many more.

                      And what's wrong with this avatar?

                            It's interesting that the Japanese have made such a name for themselves in cooking as most of their food is comparatively bland. But I love it, anyway.
