1* Dave yelling to Tiffani in season 1 "I'm not your bitch, bitch!"
2* Stefan calling Season 2 Runner-up Marcel a "twat" during the Season 5 finale.
3* CJ's appearance in the Season 3 intro. He's [[OneHeadTaller so tall]] that he doesn't fit in the frame, so he leans down in order to be in the shot.
4* Anthony Bourdain's commentary when he would judge.
5* Tiffani calling Stefan a "lesbian opportunivore" then telling Lisa to look out
6* Any time Toby Young does a critique. "They have found the Weapons of Mass Destruction and they're on my plate." DAMN!
7* There's so much of Fabio that counts as SugarWiki/FunnyMoments.
8** In Season 5, Episode 2, he was brought to the judges table and was immediately defensive about his dish, not realizing that he was there because they ''liked'' it. (The top and bottom from the challenge were brought at the same time.)
9** "This is Top Chef, not Top Scallop" (on Jamie and her love of scallops)
10** "We could serve monkey ass on a clam shell and still win if I'm front of house" (on Restaurant Wars in Season 5)
11** Most of his interactions with Richard during Season 8, especially when Richard would start to fret
12** Fabio talking about his pet turtle
13** Fabio saying "Booger" instead of "Burger" in Season 8
14** "I thought you were going to tell me that I did such a bad job you were going to just kick me out" (on making the Top 4 during the Dim Sum challenge in Season 8)
15* Antonia saying "All I remember I did in high school was that I smoked a lot of pot"
16* Carla is also a magnet for this
17** Her happy dance after winning a trip to Amsterdam
18** Her Quickfire challenge where she made green eggs and ham and WON
19** Her calling for "Gaaaaiiiiiil? Gaiiiiiil?" as a reaction to Toby Young
20** Her "[=UNdonete=]" quote about her horribly undercooked quinoa in a Quickfire
21** Her brief mockery of Angelo for spelling "crocodile" with an A.
22** Her giddy reaction to getting to cook chicken pot pie for the Jimmy Fallon birthday challenge. And then her reaction about winning the challenge.
23** "Redemption is slipping away. Far, far away. Bye, redemption!"
24* Dale L. confessing that he was making "crack for 10 year old kids" and then talking about a "10 year old rave" during Season 8's museum challenge
25* Dale T. saying that he thought Joe Jonas was a pastry chef
26* Hung of season 3 being forced to make a dish with cereal and deciding to make a cereal smurf village complete with chocolate milk and poached egg sun. He presented this to the skeptical guest judge with a totally straight face.
27* Michael Chiarello using pages of ''Saveur'' magazine as decor for one of his finale dishes on ''Masters'' as a playful jab at James Oseland, who was consistently the toughest critic for Michael to please.
28* Angelo misspelling crocodile as "crocadile" during a Quickfire
29* Antonia, Angelo, and Carla singing the "Beef Tongue" song during Judges Table at the Jimmy Fallon challenge (all three had made the top)
30* The Cookie Quickfire with special guests [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo, Telly, and the ''freakin'' Cookie Monster]] especially when Elmo said that Antonia's cookies (while they tasted good) looked like cow chips. And Richard actually attempting to make a cookie with zucchini in it to appease Elmo.
31* Season 8 Reunion show. Especially Antonia's 'Black Hammer' curse title and the 'bromance'.
32* Speaking of Antonia's Black Hammer, the reason why she gets that nicknamed is because anyone who teams up with her loses, that person gets sent home instead of Antonia. In Season 4, Nimma, Valerie & Zoi gets this and due to that some contestants wrote down a list of her 'victims'
33** This however didn't stop as in All Stars she has taken out 7 more victims, especially the runner ups from past seasons. They are Jennifer Carroll (S6),Dale Levitski (S3),Casey Thompson (S3),Tiffani Faison(S1),Jamie Lauren (S5),Marcel Vigneron (S2) and Tiffany Derry (S7) which totals up to 10 victims. This is definitely a curse even though Antonia says it is a 'coincidence'.
34** Bonus point if you realize that Antonia has taken out each contestants from individual season from Season 1 to Season 7
35* Tom during the Thanksgiving episode against a rival renowned chef. "Make cornbread, not war!"
36* In Season 8's Restaurant Wars, Tiffany accidentally blurts out that there were arguments on the line. When the judges pick up on it and ask about it, she covers her face a little and mutters an audible [[OhCrap "uh oh"]].
37* The 2 part Restaurant Wars episode in season 13 is one of the best examples of ego taking down a contestant in a reality show.
38* A Season 15 episode had the cheftestants spending the night camping in Estes Park when there was still snow and freezing temperatures. Hilarity ensues:
39** Fatima, born in Pakistan, living in NYC, talked about disliking snow and bugs as well as having no experience with camping or sleeping bags. When asked by the producer if she had experience setting up a tent, Fatima glared back, "What do you think?"
40** Lee Anne and Claudette, fresh off the first ever tie in Last Chance Kitchen, are having trouble adjusting to the high altitude and cold weather (especially with Lee Anne being also three months pregnant at the time). As they try to sleep in a tent, Lee Anne couldn't help but mention that she was on a beach a week prior.
41--->'''Lee Anne:''' This is unglamorous. [[TitleDrop This is not glamping]]. (To Claudette) God damn it, why didn't you just outright beat me!
