Funny / Guy's Grocery Games

Go To

  • The Billionaire Burger Boyz of the "Fantastic Duos" competition were a laugh a minute. A pair of portly dudes with a wicked sense of humor who run a food truck in LA, they hammed it up the entire way, complete with bringing their own microphone to the judging. And doing a Mic Drop when they won the match with a pizza burger that included lobster.
    • In their Fantastic Duos reprise episode, they did a reprise of said burger when the first round asked them for a surf and turf, making this ridiculous Dagwood Sandwich. The judges' eyes nearly bulge out when they see the monstrously huge concoction. Props to Alex Guarnaschelli for just squishing it down best she could and digging in, but Guy had to hold back her hair.
  • Another one for the Billionaire Burger Boyz; they were saying "boom" so much while cooking that they rewound the tape and started a counter of how many times they said it (sixty).
  • During one judges' contest, Carl Ruiz and Antonia Lofaso didn't even budge when Guy did his Running Gag of sneaking the "3, 2, 1, Go" countdown into his banter with them. He did it again. And again. And again. And they just stood there. It took almost 45 seconds before either of them figured out what was going on and headed into the market.
    • Topped by a "Beat the Judges" episode in season 31. The chefs didn't move after Guy did his countdown and the clock started, so he kept right on talking. He sneaked in comments about how much time had gone off the clock, but they all just stood there for a full minute until the judges shouted at them to get moving.
  • The "Ultimate Spicy Challenge" was certainly living up (or down) to the name, with chefs challenged to make tasty but super hot dishes for the judges. And just to invoke Fire-Breathing Diner, he got Aaron May (who could handle the heat) with Troy Johnson (who had a moderate tolerance}, and Carl Ruiz (who was a complete lightweight when it came to capsaicin). Guy decided to Troll the judges, particularly Carl, by keeping increasingly ridiculous methods of vending cold milk on hand, like an IV bag and a gigantic baby bottle.
    • In the same vein, Ruiz's stream of BigNos when he realized what Guy set him up for.
  • In the same episode, one of the chefs (a Thai immigrant) who is cheerfully and nonchalantly cooking away in the first round while the camera crew is so affected by the potent smell of her spicy cooking that they have to back away.
  • The revelation in the "Delivery Mix-up" competition that Justin Warner keeps a canister of liquid nitrogen inside of his broken dishwasher.
  • In "All-Star Vegetarian Games" Guy is so offended that judge Brooke Williamson is cutting up her spaghetti that he Face-Times Antonia Lofaso so that she can see it and also be offended.
  • Hunter and Antonia Lofaso take over the show to do an entire Egg-based episode. With Guy forced to judge and try the egg dishes. Guy Hates Eggs. Hilarity Ensues.
    • The first game is Will Guy Eat It with points assigned based on how many bites Guy will take of the egg dish.
  • One chef whose Wild Card ingredient is "something from aisle 6" (the detergent, pet food, and baby food) uses the opportunity to team up with Guy to prank the judges by pretending that he's going to cook with cat food. Guy ups the ante by switching the label on canned chicken and making them think he's eating from one of the cans. It scares them so much that Antonia hides against Aarti's shoulder to avoid even looking at him.
  • During the finale of the Delivery family tournament, judge Claire Johnson accidentally gives Guy plenty of ammo to use against her husband Troy when Guy asks why he looks fit over Zoom.
    Claire: It’s the bath he takes every day. He takes a two-hour bath every morning. He feels like it really helps refresh his skin I’m not supposed to tell you that.
  • Many of the delayed reactions after Guy says his "3, 2, 1, go". One time, after about 15 seconds, a contestant actually looks at the clock, comments, "The clock is running." and a second later makes the realization that the round already started.
