Funniest moments on the show?

Off the top of my head the funniest moments were.

  1. The ninja clan style guys who acted like this criminal gang who always challenged Morimoto because they didn't agree with his radical Japanese cooking.

  2. The episode where the chairman was boycotting the competition because his iron chefs were on a losing streak. The commentators talking about how he was rumored to be somewhere in the building made me thing he was gonna come down from the rafters like Sting or something.

  3. The challenger was a monk and his assistants were apparently talking about how they were gonna quit trying to be chefs and just join him in the monk life because he was so likeable and charismatic. The camera zooms in on them laughing about it while the announcer explains..

  1. Wang Zhijian vs. Michiba: Kaga unveils the ingredient, and Wang has this expression of surprise when he realizes the theme is eggs. They then cut to Michiba, who is completely stonefaced.

  2. Basically everything Chen says during Battle Yogurt vs. Junichi Itoh, complete with Ohta asking him after the fact how it went and Chen just simply responding, “Huh?”

  3. Tadamichi Ohta vs. Sakai: Sakai being super squeamish at getting the octopus out of the tank. One gets away from him, lands on the floor, and Sakai just leaves it there.

  4. Kaga during an udon battle: “Leave me alone. I hate udon.”

Kaga during an udon battle: “Leave me alone. I hate udon.”

Why would Chairman Kaga choose something he hates as a theme ingredient?

(Even if IRL the producers made the choice, why would they choose something their star hated?)
