* One challenge began with the chefs having to catch a live bird in the pantry, which had been assigned to each of them by the previous challenge's winner. Luca was assigned a turkey. Turkeys are not found in his home country of Italy.

** Luca trying to catch the turkey and getting intimidated by it instead.

** During a cutaway, before it's revealed that the cooks have been given pre-prepared cutlets of their birds to use, bearded Texan manly-man James remarks thusly:

** When Subha goes to present his dish, the judges are in agreement that the plating isn't the best (though Joe mentions that isn't necessarily a negative) it's still delicious, with Joe admitting he's starting to like curries more, to the point that he says the dish is [[IncrediblyLamePun "Subha Dubha Good"]]. Gordon and Kimberly's could only give laughs of disbelief at that.

** Monti discovers she got a can:

** First Joe questions where's the rest of the $60 crab, then Graham mockingly asks him how is he supposed to eat that, making exaggerated motions. And then Joe asks Ryan...

** After Ryan unsuccessfully pins his target on Christine and Monti, Monti ends up turning the tables by surprising Gordon with "Scotch Eggs breaded with canned crab". Gordon asks her ''"What were you smoking when you thought this dish?"'' Monti gets touched when Gordon tells her that she's not a fluke and should be more confident. Immediately, we cut to confessional.

-->''Juna'': [[EvilLaugh Hahahahahahahaha!]] *{{Beat}}* You assholes from editing are gonna put that laugh in the final cut, aren't you? Come on, man...

''([[WhatAnIdiot Dan burns his hand]])''\\

** The Pressure Test later involved the remaining contestants cooking with the chicken they just cut, and Shari decides to cook a Tandoori Chicken, [[WhatAnIdiot without the tandoor oven]]. Gordon could barely muster the words to tell her how ridiculous it is, while Subha (who's Indian) [[StunnedSilence merely gives her a face that just says "Uhh ok, good luck with that."]] before going back to his dish.

* During the finale, Gordon and Aaron misinterpret Shayne's happy reaction to Christina's return as flirting, with Gordon telling the 18-year-old to behave himself.

---> ''(after being served a cooked fig that turned out to not be cooked at all)'' "Was the oven turned on?"
---> ''(after a contestant delivered a cake that looked like it was [[CarryingACake carried by someone running in a cartoon]])'' "Did an helicopter pass over the cake?"
---> ''(eating a terrible plate of mushrooms, corn and meat made during one of the team challenges)'' "It reminds me of a exploded nuclear power plant."
---> ''(after being served an uber-salty dish on the aphrodisiac Mystery Box challenge)'' "The woman will spend more time drinking water than chatting with you."

---> ''(on the ConfessionCam)'' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Well, at least it's in Europe...]]"

----> '''Paola:''' "You guys know NOTHING about meat! The best of the cuts goes away for only 1 minute?"

* Brazilian Version:
** EVERY SINGLE TIME the judges decide to tease [[{{Adorkable}} season 2's Jiang Pu or season 4's Yuko]] for their broken Portuguese. One particular instance has Jiang laughing so much at her inability to say "cebola" without making a R-sound on the L, that she decides to just say "onion".
*** Speaking of accents, ''Professionals 3'''s [[ButNotTooForeign Lubyanka's]] tendency to throw GratuitousEnglish around is also hilarious. She even keeps doing it when she makes a cameo in season 5.
** During one elimination task in season 1, Mohamad decides to cook a carrot using a technique that he saw Jamie Oliver using. When he presented it to the judges, he told them his research led him to believe those were called "sexy carrots". Paola asks if he saw the name on a porn site, while Fogaça makes Jacquin crack up by offering the carrot to him.
** [[BigFun Jacquin's]] constant [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] comments about bad food are Brazil's version of [[SignatureScene Gordon Ramsay cursing]].

** One [[ThatOneLevel particularly infamous]] elimination task in season 4 had the contestants make zero-sugar desserts. One particular contestant, Ana Luiza, decided to make a BoringButPractical mille-feuille, in hopes that [[GenreSavvy the difficulty of the task would make another contestant trip and be eliminated instead]]. While it did work as she planned, it also led to Paola comparing her dish to "a dessert sold on European train kiosks, but not on the first class". Ana Luiza's reaction?

** Season 4 also brought [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan-favorite Yuko]] to the kitchen, known for her too-honest reactions to the judges' comments. On the offal Mystery Box Challenge, she made a dish with three different pieces of offal and queijo coalho, a Brazilian cheese often served with barbecue. When she was asked why she added the cheese, she said it was because she wanted at least one normal thing in the dish.
*** This Mystery Box also brought a lot of DoubleEntendre jokes due to one of the offered ingredients being ''penis''. From Leonardo saying that the only thing that came to his mind was "to make a cock soup" to contestants complaining that [[FreudWasRight their penises ended up too stiff]].
** Season 5 had an elimination task where the ingredients were chosen through an auction, where contestants bid cooking time to get their ingredients. Why is that funny? Because it quicky becomes evident that host Ana Paula Padrão is having ''too'' much fun doing the auction, to the point she drops a '''ClusterFBomb''' after one of the fishes gets sold.
*** This wasn't the first time auctions had been used in the Brazilian version. During the first time, in season 4, some EarlyInstallmentWeirdness led the contestants to believe that the last few veal cuts to be auctioned would be the same as the first ones... and then ''fraldão''[[note]]lit. "big diaper", a veal cut that's close to the flank steak (which's called "fraldinha" or "small diaper" in Portuguese)[[/note]] came up. None of the remaining auctioners knew what was it, and in the end, Deborah ended up getting it with a simple 1-minute bid. Which led to Paola taunting the contestants for not knowing what it was.

** Speaking of season 5, the aphrodisiac Mystery Box had some hilarious moments, especially coming from Aristeu.
*** For starters, he says he wants to do a dessert because it's the last thing that people eat before having sex.
*** When Clarisse asks him whether she should take the tail off of her shrimps, he tells her to leave it, as [[DoubleEntendre eating the tail is more romantic]].
*** Priest Evandro quickly becomes the target of jokes during the task. So, of course, [[{{Irony}} he WINS the challenge]], which's not helped at all by Ana Paula Padrão calling him a "seductor" ''in a sultry voice''.
** Another funny moment from Priest Evandro comes when he's tasked with making ''mendiants'', chocolate discs with dry fruits that have Catholic origin. His discs don't end up so well, and while most of his opponents made discs that "snapped" with a notable sound, his snap was barely audible. Nonetheless, it was audible, which led to him excitedly pointing it to the invited chocolatier... which promptly teases him by saying that he made a oath to not lie.
** ''Junior'' also had its moments on the Brazilian version.
*** Notably, they reproduced the infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxU_He0CGxM whipped cream challenge]], with the exact same result as the American version. As in, the BigFun judge "wins" before the room inevitably turns into a whipped cream war.
*** One thing that was different was that the contestants knew beforehand how the cream would be tested. This led to Fogaça and Jacquin [[SchmuckBait telling their "opponents" that they could rest a bit if they felt tired]].
*** One episode had a Mystery Box of "yucky" ingredients for the children to use, one of them being cow's brain. Their colorful comments are extraordinary.

*** One of the elimination challenges had the children reproducing Chef Fogaça's favorite desserts from his infancy. While he's explaining the task, the children start to wonder how Fogaça looked as a child, since he pretty much looks like a TattooedCrook. They come to the conclusion that [[InsaneTrollLogic Fogaça was born with his tattoos]].

--->'''Gordon:''' "Cupcakes? For ''Christina Tosi?'' Quani, are you mad?"

* Tommy looks like Moe (Chad [=McNamara=]) from ''SeriesTheDoodlebops''.

* In the top 6 challenge, Rebecca is team captain to Monti, who's somewhat hard of hearing, and the blind Christine. The latter describes them all in the ConfessionCam as [[SelfDeprecation "Team Helen Keller"]]

* During Luca's first audition, he and Joe have a brief conversation in Italian (with English subtitles), where Joe is asking him what part of Italy is he from and how's he handling the last preparations of his polenta. When Gordon asks him what they're talking about, Joe replies this:
