Line #9 YMMV/HotOnes


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Naturally, Creator/RussellBrand's impromptu serenade to Brett Baker.
2	** The background music does a lot to heighten the tension in an episode.
3	* BrokenBase:
4	** For guests who can't make it through all ten wings. Are the episodes still funny regardless, or does their defeat keep the episode from being funny?
5	** DJ Khaled's episode. Is it a defining moment in the series' history, or a lame excuse for a Season 1 finale that should have been scrapped and replaced?
6	** And how much of a wing to eat off. Guests that strip their wings clean compare favorably to nibblers.
7	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Taraji's bodyguard "Security Dave" is quite popular for stepping in and finishing her wings after she tapped out.
8	* FandomSpecificPlot: A more tragic example than the rest, but fans often lament that ''Hot Ones'' never had a chance to do an episode with Creator/AnthonyBourdain prior to his untimely suicide.
9	* FriendlyFandoms: ''Hot Ones'', ''WebVideo/BingingWithBabish'', and ''WebVideo/BonAppetit'' all share more or less the same audience due to their respective irreverent yet informative looks at food, and they've each crossed over with each other multiple times. Logically, this also overlaps with fans of the Food Network and cooking shows in general, particularly when ''Hot Ones'' has had guests like [[Series/GoodEats Alton Brown]] and Creator/GordonRamsay.
10	%%Stop putting HarsherInHindsight entries about the Coolio joke in the Gordon Ramsay episode and how Coolio has since passed away -- as per the description of the trope, a person dying does not alone warrant an entry, because everyone dies at some point.
11	* HilariousInHindsight: N.O.R.E. mentions that he really wants Creator/SethRogen as a ''Drink Champs'' guest, and Sean says he wants him on his show as well. Seth and Dominic Cooper would later appear to close out season three.
12	* JustHereForGodzilla: Since it's the premise of the show, most people tune in to see the guests reacting to the spiciest sauces, most notably ''Da Bomb''.
13	* MemeticLoser: DJ Khaled's early quit has made him the butt of many jokes among the show's fans. It's gotten to the point that other guests have named him during their own interviews as the example they don't want to follow.
14	* MemeticMutation:
15	** Shaq's faces during his interview have become an ongoing meme on Twitter, [=YouTube=], and Reddit.
16	** Creator/IdrisElba coughing up a storm and uttering a bewildered "What the ''fuck?''".
17	** Creator/PaulRudd's entire interview is a meme of its own due to it being Paul Rudd, but otherwise this exchange between him and Sean gained the most traction:
18	--->'''Paul Rudd''': Hey. Look at us.\
19	'''Sean''': Look at us. Who would've thought?\
20	'''Paul Rudd''': Not me!
21	*** Which turned into an AscendedMeme when Paul Rudd [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr9nwgME_yw put out a PSA for the]] UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.
22	** A panicked, bewildered Creator/JenniferLawrence repeatedly asking "what do you mean?!" as she watches Sean perform The Last Dab.
23	** A teary-eyed Creator/MillieBobbyBrown sipping her milkshake after finishing almost instantly started circulating as a reaction image.
24	* TheWoobie:
25	** Poor Sean has to deal with ten hot wings every week, plus whatever shenanigans a guest can get up to.
26	** Creator/CaraDelevingne has the unfortunate distinction of being the first guest in the Hot Seat to try The Last Dab, which is made with a special pepper ''hotter than the Carolina Reaper''. She handles it fairly well, all things considered.
