How Uncle Roger Helped Destroy Jamie Oliver's Reputation 

I like that Gordon actually has a sense of humour and is willing to learn from his mistake and seems to have fun interacting with Roger

The idea of Ramsey and Roger bonding over Oliver bitching is hilarious.

Uncle Roger saved my life. I was gonna make Jamie’s Thai Green Curry for a friend of mine who told me that Thai Green Curry was his favourite dish, but after seeing Roger’s reaction, I knew it was a bad idea and my friend would have killed me

Something Jamie Oliver seems to not understand but Gordon does is that cooking is a lifelong learning process, you don’t just stop midway through and immediately start thinking that yours is the best and only way to

"If he wanted to hurt Russia, he should've kept the restaurants open." Ouch!

Difference between Jamie and Gordon is, while both can fuck up the dishes out of their expertise, Gordon actually care and learn from it.

“No, I didn’t make Jamie Oliver by ruining his reputation. He made himself ruining his reputation. That was his choice, to ruining his reputation.”

Believe it or not, but Jamie Oliver was the "cool" TV chef in the early 2000s UK. Young and willing do fusion recipes that broke the rules, he got young people to watch cookery programs, something that was almost strictly for older audiences. Words like cultural appropriation didn't even exist, everyone was just happy to have their minds blown with new food, many of which was under represented in the UK. Ofcourse he turned into a business man of selling cheap Italian food like pasta and pizza, in small portions for high prices. The reality is after the financial crash, people couldn't afford to waste money like this anymore, fast casual became more competitive.

It's a mistake to have a public fight with a comedian. They have nothing to lose.

Jamie closes his restaurants and "can't afford to pay his employees severance" but can afford a grade 1 listed estate for upwards of 6 million dollars. Classy guy!

Narrator: "Another unknown commenter" Unknown commenter: *gordon ramsey with a check mark*

You know what’s cheaper than sugary drinks? Literal water. H2O. For all of his faults (and for all the accurate roasts on his fried rice and green curry), his war on shit food isn’t a negative on his record.

Even the chilli jam company invited Uncle Roger for a tour.

Jamie Oliver's reputation was pretty bad before Uncle Roger.

I always like Jamie as this guy who teaches a bunch of frat students how to cook, never did i look up to him however as an original professional chef. Jamie got me into cooking my own food, but it's people like Gordon and heck, a whole bunch of RU-vid channels who actually taught me how to cook good food.

The sugar tax ruined Lucozade. It was the perfect hypo stop for me. Being a diabetic I need a decent drink to raise my sugar quickly if it drops. Lucozade did this perfectly, and kept it up so it wouldn't start dropping again. They halved the sugar content, and replaced it with sweeteners. Now it doesn't work as good. In fact nearly all non-diet drinks now do this. They bulk up the sweetness with sweeteners. So now we all drink more chemicals. Only Coca-Cola is still full sugar. Thanks a lot, Jamie.

Jamie Oliver visited my hometown area when he went to try to "fix" the school lunches there. In truth, he came off as arrogant and bashed the lunch ladies and nutritionists instead of the government workers who dictate the mandatory requirements to said lunch ladies and schools.

Jamie didn't need Uncle Roger's help to destroy his reputation he was doing that just fine all on his own

To be fair: people really do consume WAY too much sugar because companies put an absurd amount of it in their products

I cant stand Jamie olive oil

His disastrous attempt to make an Italian feast… in an Italian village… while they rip him up for doing it all wrong. Trying to “improve” their traditional dishes. Wow.

A chef friend of mine once put serious thought into starting a RU-vid channel where whenever Jamie Oliver puts up a video he would make the same dish done correctly to a professional standard. It would have been called ‘Oliver’s Correctional Officer.’

He did not help to ruin his reputation, He was the one who DESTROYED his reputation.

Uncle Roger doesn't ruin people's reputations, he just ensures that they have the reputation they deserve.

Jamie has become a meme for Uncle Roger at this point.

The fact that Nigel/Uncle Roger takes the time to differentiate when he's reviewing a famous chef vs. when he's reviewing a home cook (e.g. Kay) and makes it clear he's doing things all in good fun and not to attack them shows that not only is he a great comedian (and a surprisingly apt food critic, he does great research before each video) but he's also a nice person who understands that comedy can hurt people if taken the wrong way. Instead of roasting Kay, people cheer her improvements and successes. Nigel's review actually helped her channel immensely

7:39 I burst out laughing when you mentioned both of them b!tched about Jamie Oliver's

As a half Japanese half Spaniard I feel double offended at his cooking. His paella was just as criminal.

“Another online commenter” *is Gordon Ramsay* hhahhahahhahahhaa

I wouldn't say it's fair to pin all of this credit/blame on Uncle Roger. Uncle Roger is just one of the more entertaining voices merely shining the light on what Jamie has already been doing on his own merit, that most of us were already aware of.

As a Malaysian, no one can touch Uncle Roger

As an Asian I cried when I saw Jamie’s Egg fried rice, I’m not joking I almost teared up. (I’m not a egg fry rice lover but it’s still a war crime to use chili jam)

Jamie: *Advocates for sugar tax because sugar is unhealthy* Also Jamie: *Dumps mango chutney into random dishes which aren't even supposed to be sugary and adds chili jam to fried rice which isn't supposed to be sweet*

I think the difference between Ramsey and Oliver is that Ramsey basically plays a caricature of himself in his shows (Kitchen Nightmares and so on, not his cooking shows) and Oliver is a case of WYSIWYG whatever show he's in. Ramsey is smart enough to know when to laugh at himself (at least publicly). I'm pretty sure that if uncle Roger roasted him, Ramsey STILL would have met up with uncle Roger.

"The enemy of my enemy is my Friend" - WW2 saying You know you're bad when two people are against you.

More egg fried rice sins, he puts in the green part of the scallions right in the beginning. Causing them to wilt, turn bitter and flat.

Jamie Oliver wrecked his own reputation. IMHO his reputation was a bit of the emperor's new clothes in the first place. All face and no form.

Jamie Oliver only talks when he has something to promote or remove from others. No wonder he is disliked.

4:04 Ain't no way 💀

If I see Jamie Oliver cook fried rice like that as an Asian I would refuse to eat it.

Calling the rice is too wet is an understatement 😂

Imagine Jamie going through his villain arc because of this

I watched Jamie Oliver's cooking show once because it was on. That man casually said add a pinch of saffron. Bruh. Yeah why not, I got the most expensive spice in the world in the kitchen.

Why isn't the food Healfy???? -South Park Jamie Oliver

As easy as it is to dislike Jamie I sorta agree with him on school lunches and WAY to much sugar in food/drink. I don't agree with his way of trying to fix it, but agree that something should be changed.

honestly one of my favorite videos is gordan making naan. Gordan seems to be able to bow his head and learn from people who have mastered the foods he hasn't.

this video being edited like a crime documentary makes this even more hilarious

Jamie has always been the ' look i can cook better at home ' cook while Gordon is a world class Michelin master. I understand they get compared but it's no comparison tbh.

When Uncle Roger says "Fuyoooh!" you have done it right. Watch out for the "Haaiyaaaaaahhh...", though.

I don't really care for any of the 3 of them, but what I see if they were in a classroom is 2 kids bullying the other kid, and the one being bullied trying to ignore them.

as Asian, there’re many way to do fried rice, you don’t really have to do like what the book said, i once making fish flakes fried rice and it’s really good

If he wanted to hurt Russia he should have kept his restaurants open . I’m dying 💀💀💀

The worst part is Jamie could have fixed and repaired all of his infamy if he actually collaborated with Uncle Roger or gone for the Uncle title. Uncle Roger just started making videos for fun,but now it escalated to the point where it came on his reputation…Jamie must have probably taken these videos personally,that’s what I think.

That face at 6:07 is terrifying

Sugar tax was 💯 percent the correct thing to do.

Gordon took the Pad Thai comments on the chin and with a stiff upper lip. He didn't question it other than "I didn't think it was too bad" because for him, he put his all in. He also knows that he's not a master of Pad Thai like the other chef and, at least from what I saw, didn't pull the "I'm a famous chef so I know what I'm doing" card.

And I wonder why Jamie doesn't have Michelin star.

I love that, the 11 yr old boy got Uncle Rogers’ approval the first time he made fried rice because he watched so many how to videos. His mom must’ve been proud he could follow instruction so well. It endeared him to me with his approval.

5:59, that "huh" said more than Gordon would have liked to admit 😂 TV gold right there

7:31 summary of this whole video

Meanwhile I just cook by throwing random ingredients on the pan and hoping for the best.

I really don't think one comedian on youtube ever destroyed anyone, Jamie Oliver's real problem seems to be an inability to a joke or criticism. And besides that anyone that is so detached from the working class that they think taxing convenience food is going to do anything but make poor people hungrier is an asshole. Sorry Jamie, but not everyone is able to get to a farmer's market and bond with the produce.

3:57 getting cooked 😂

Wait, as an asian I always thought that jamie oliver is the one who founded olive garden. That idea had been with me for so long that my mind literally blown when I know the dude restaurant was called Jamie’s italian

please i need help where and how do i get soba noodles, I've been looking. I went to a global market and I just couldn't find it.

I loved jamie and his cooking when his first book was released. It was the firts cook book i used as a teen and spurred my passion for cooking. Sadly each book that was released after used more pretencious ingredients and i felt he chnaged his target audience from the public to the middle class. Also he ALWAYS chnages original recepies witb unneeded modern things like chilli jam for one example.😂 its sad

Sounds like Oliver destroyed his own career lol.

Dude if Jamie wanted to gain his reputation back, literally all he would have to do is say "Alright Uncle Roger. Lets do this." If he wanted to go next level, beat Uncle Roger in an Asian cooking challenge where there are judges judging blindly. Even if he lost, at least he wouldn't look weak. 100% Uncle Roger would have fun with him and be respectful. Is there any footage of Jamie Oliver discussing Uncle Roger? I don't know how you can't confront this. "If he wanted to hurt Russia, he should've kept his there restaurants open". LOLLLLLLLLL

I love how Uncle Roger roasting Jamie Olive Oil and he just doesn't make any movement reacted to Uncle Roger. Such a humor goes rolling more wild 😂😂😂

As someone who worked in one of his venues, i ran away from the industry for a year after 2.5months in the flagship restaurant... I was incredibly happy hearing the news

Uncle roger didn’t ruin him, if he’s a failure (apply Steven He voice here) he’ll fail no matter what.

Weird to think the initial video could have been an olive branch to repair his public image that he refused to take and just dug the already big hole deeper.

It started out as a comedic roast and turned into exposing Jamie as a fraud.

What's wrong with reducing the amount of sugar in carbonated drinks?

I mean, with Gordon Ramsay, you just have to see under WHOM he learned this Profession. that says it all.

Having lived in Asia for most of my life, I still have no fucking clue what chilli jam is or what it tastes like. Also Nigel needs to not tell the world that all fried rice contains garlic.

"Chili Jam" ruined an Empire.😂😂😂😂😂😂

No way bro, no way, I didn't know he actually cried because of the chicken nugget thing, 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂. First time I'm hearing about this.

Jamie was failing before Uncle Roger was out of school

Jamie Oliver cooks like a 1980s divorced dad.

using soba noodles for ramen aww hell nah that should be a crime lol

"Unseasoned food lovers"🤣🤣🤣🤣

The idea of cultural appropriation is problematic and unnecessary. Given the backlash, it's clear that Jaimie could benefit from some PR guidance to manage perceptions. The obesity crisis in the UK and US is worsening, and the outcry over removing junk food from schools highlights how deep-rooted the addiction to processed food is.

Jamie actually could use the beef to his advantage to keep him relevant. But he chose to keep mum about it. Either he does not care and wish to end his career on that note.

This idea of making a video as a satire of the sunnyv2 style content on youtube, acting serious and having lots of fx, is hilarious, and it's still a fun video! interesting

Loved Jamie when I knew nothing about food, but after training as a chief... and seeing his war on normal people's food (just like many other TV chiefs) I had zero respect for him.

This started so serious, but I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂

4:27 mans also made “jollof” rice without any jollof ingredients 😂😂😂😂 legend on all continents 😂😂😂

Uncle Roger didn't, his cooking did. Lmao. Uncle Gordon was cool AF 😂

"for you, but, not for me" If the look didn't say it, he perfectly orated the sentiment. o7

Being an Asian who cooks and eats rice everyday, Uncle Roger was spot on with all his criticisms though masked as jokes

Despite the negativity of Jamie Oliver take, i still appreciated for him to not getting angrier, making drama & taken too seriously about the criticize since he doesn't care & keep silenced about anything what happened

Changing a recipe is not cultural appropriation. Its cooking

Unintended consequences of simplistic solutions to complex problems - that's Janie's problem. Why are sugary drinks and greasy fast food a problem contributing to the obesity epidemic, esp among the poor? Because good quality healthy food is more expensive. The solution: some way of making good quality healthy foods MORE accessible, not making junk food less accessible. 99.9% of parents WANT to do the best by their kids, the sad fact is the poorest fraction of those 99.9% of parents can only afford to consider calories and volume, so they buy the foods that provide the most calories for the lowest cost. Many low income communities live in food deserts, where the only food shops in reasonable distance are convenience stores and low cost take aways. These parents have to think about spending what little money they have just to get to a shop that sells healthy food, meaning even less money to spend on food.

It’s like Jamie identified what a proper cause of action/response was and did the exact opposite.

anyone who has tried a Jamie Oliver recipe knows he is full of it.

I thought this was a sunny v2 video but your video is pretty good

You guys are crap. You just look at a few clips and pieces, and make up your mind about a person instantly with no research or regards to their actual total work or life or personality. Jamie did alot of good over the years, of course he cannot perfect every recipe, but his style was for audiences in general homes in the 90s and 00s, and most people in western kitchens in that time don't have access to most ingredients needed for overseas dishes. Now with social media and the internet shopping, and many western countries becoming more multicultural, it is becoming more convenient for everyone to buy whatever and try to make things more authentic. I think it's crap you guys slam him just because he made a few 'general' dishes, using limited household ingredients. I'd like to see people try to cook the thousands of recipes his done. Yeah not all will be bangers, but dam, he has made alot of proper recipes over the years. And really helped bring a positive message with regards to health and understanding of foods.

Sure am glad we have another Sunnyv2 clone here to discuss this clearly very important and completely factual narrative

I totally think what Jamie Oliver did for school kids is absolutely amazing. You're gonna get hated when you fight against the big food industrial complex. Not that he has a likeable character, but still huge respect for what was done.
