THE VIDEO THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MADE | Pass It On S1 E1 | Sorted Food 

"I didn't ignore the tomato and buns. I put them straight in the bin." James with the straight savagery to counter Jamie's contrarian, troublemaking buffoonery.

“I didn't ignore the tomatoes and the buns... I threw them straight in the bin. "....“Shall I get your fruit salad? "..😂😂😂 Oh James...

Barry: “Just a little bit of cayenne pepper” *GRABS HEAPING TABLESPOON AND DUMPS IT ON TO FRUIT*

I go back to this and think, NOTHING HAS CHANGED they occasionally pass and get the things done but its the same thing everytime and that’s why we love it

Only Jamie would find bread and butter pudding and decide to make a burger

I love how much faith Ben has, "they can figure this out, they know this recipe" and Barry like I'm gonna do this instead

This is actually a decent challenge format, “two chefs try to cook a dish while 3 normals try to sabotage it”

Ben: lawful neutral Barry: chaotic good Jamie: chaotic evil Mike: neutral good James: lawful good

The recipe looks good, the process was disastrous, but the video went awesome!

Barry might've screwed up the fruit salsa, but what the HELL was Jamie thinking!? "Oh hey look, a bunch of desserty things. BETTER MAKE BURGERS!?"

I actually think this is one of the most interesting and innovative structures for a video that you all have made in a long while. It would probably be more delightfully disastrous if the order of cook was chosen randomly, and perhaps if everyone had two 5-min segments instead of one 10-min segment.

3:21 Barry is there for one second and already an unused hob is turned on. It's like his super power

i want a series of this omg

It went well for five minutes and then Barry decided to put cayenne pepper with pineapple...

Rewatching this is so funny. "So if I leave these here they'll get the idea right?" Ah Ben, famous last words for this series. Also, "no point in doing anything crazy"? Barry's cloud egg comes to mind...

I LOVED this haha But next time let’s see James first and Ben last, because walking into that mess will kill Ben. Hahaha

Really liked this one and am happy that you guys published it. Why? Because as much as I like your regular vids with straight forward recipies, this one really felt random, risky and therefore highly entertaining. I do hope you guys keep this "Pass it on" format and make it a regular thing.

Perfect example of the idiom "Too many cooks..." Absolutely brilliant. Laughed so much. XD Might be just me, but I think James deserves a brownie point for the valiant effort of finishing the dish...

No need to improve the concept. This was hilarious!

Barry: "It wasn't that spicy" tastes the salad a few minutes ago and proceeds to cough and choke at how spicy it is...

They did this on Masterchef Australia once but they got 30 seconds to explain themselves to the next person. I think it works better that way ahaha. But anyway this was painful yet amazing to watch and I love it for what it is

James to rescue! I enjoyed the chaos. Also points to Barry for trying.

I've just watched through all of the pass it on videos (in reverse order) and I think I've discovered everyone's place in the kitchen. ben starts a wonderful dish, Barry or Jamie comes in and completely derails it, then Barry or Jamie, whichever is left, comes in and ignores everything and starts something else that's random and so completely outlandish that when mike comes in he spends more than half his time figuring out what is going on, tries to come back, and then James has to come in and fix everything. its perfect

This video hits so much different knowing now that Barry is allergic to pineapple and in unknowingly going into anaphylaxis

I think this was better because it went so off the rails

Nobody/nothing is perfect :D Especially if you cook. Mistakes and bloopers are always entertaining :D so please keep doing "Pass it on". It hasn't to be a perfect dish. It is just perfect, funny and entertaining as it is. :D I enjoyed it and I 'm hungry for more.

Barry being unable to talk properly because it was so spicy turned into, "it wasn't that spicy" at the table. I love revisiting these videos they are just amazing.

The first time I watched this I failed to notice how upset Ben was, it must’ve been difficult for him. Can we just appreciate how far he’s come with this pass it ons?

This is amazing. I love this, getting to see inside the thought process of each of the guys. •Ben: I’ll make something lovely but simple enough for the other guys. •Barry: I think I know what to do, but I’m going to add too much of one ingredient. •Jamie: I see what you all have done here.... IM GOING TO MAKE SOMTHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WITH MEAT. (Burgers are indulgent and delicious) •Mike: this is a disaster, I’m going to try not to mess it up even more and attempt to compliment the original dish •James: oh dear lord... I need to try my hardest to salvage this, oh look sugar syrup •Rest of SORTED Crew: **watches as the guys rush around like chickens without their heads** laughs maniacally I can’t wait for Pass It On to show up again. It was clever and fun, which is why I love SORTED.

I legit couldn't stop laughing throughout! 🤣

This wasn't a fail at all, it was one of the funnest videos you guys have done in a while. Look, I'm a huge fan of the battles, especially the Chef vs Chef battles (which I think you guys should do a souped-up gastronomic battle) and I loved the themed weeks you guys did last year, but THIS was brilliant ... In summary, more please

The one that started it all, from here to doing it in a theater live. Y'all got this.

Wow James really did save that dish

This looks like utter chaos and I'm loving it

THIS was great! Next time do the order Normal->Chef->Normal->Chef->Normal :) Dont give the normals notes or anything, them going in blind is the beauty of it! MORE MORE MORE!

Came all the way back to this one after watching season 3 to see how they team had developed. They haven't. Nothings changed. It's the exact same chaos in the exact same way. Just the normals know a few more recipes and foodie words... and James isn't there to save it at the end.

Watching James' face while Barry is explaining his process was hilarious.

Aha this is so great! Please have another go! It’s refreshing to know that you all can make something inedible after all these years ❤️

At 13:09 when James’ face when Barry was talking about the cayenne! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I genuinely *love* that Jamie came in and saw all the sweet stuff going on and just decided, “Right!- time to add some meat to this menu!”- has he been taking inspiration from Rachel’s Trifle (friends reference- probably aging myself a little lol)

"I didn't ignore the tomato buns. I put them straight in the bin." CLASSIC

This is my new favourite thing in the world...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Ah, where it all began…😂 and now they’re doing a live show! Woot!

I love that Jamie comes in, sees fruit and makes meat burgers. Lol.

Love how Jamie came in and basically said "screw whatever you guys had going, this needs meat."

You guys should do something where there’s a specific dish chosen by a third party, and they write really some really vague clue and give it to the first person to start cooking. Then for the next person, a slightly more specific clue, and they have to work off what the last person made (like in pass it on). So the further down the line it gets more and more specific without actually saying what the dish is. Then at the end the original dish is revealed and is compared to whatever abomination came out

A different order would help. Put Jamie either first or second, and Barry last because plating is his favorite part anyway, and Mike and James were both solid with understanding enough to keep things moving.

I really like this idea! It's fun to see how everyone approaches cooking on their own (i.e. Barry, Mike, and Jamie going for it w/o a chef's help). I think maybe the scope of the challenge could be changed. Rather than making anything, maybe it's make a whole dinner or a specific type of food that has a lot of steps. As it was pointed out in the video, Ben essentially made a whole dish in just his time which led to a lot of flailing around to figure out what else the others could do. I definitely think you should do this again!

things lost in the subtitles: 9:24 coulis 16:51 Tuille (biscuits) things lost in this video: james' sanity jamie's poor abandoned Juicy Lucy's (requiescat in pace)

Hilarious. Brilliantly hilarious.

Pass It On has gone on to be one of my most favourite series on RU-vid!

Decades from now, culinary video historians will look back on this video as the beginning of a new era

I weirdly liked this because this is a disaster. Edit: Jamie is THE ONE. Edit 2: If you were to make another one; I would suggest to have only one chef involved and don't let the chef finish the dish, that would be very entertaining! Thanks for pinning!

Sorry Jamie, I just had to... Ben: I've done my bit. I've set up an amazing white chocolate, ginger bread and butter pudding. Barry: Ooh, looks like a custardy mix. * tastes it * That's not custard, that's white chocolate. Jamie: That's custard. Barry: I've left the hob on, I'm sure he won't mind. Jamie: Barry's been here 'cause that hob's still on. I'm going to turn it off. Jamie: Ben's made a bread and butter pudding and Barry's made a fruit salad and I'm going to make something that complements or brings both of these together... Juicy Lucy sliders. Mike: * points to sliders * What has that got to do with anything? Mike: If you take something away from this, kids, don't try. Let someone who knows what they're doing do it. Don't bother. Don't even try. ..... Jamie: I thought a burger was a really nice naughty treat.

it’s been over a year since this happened and to this day i’m amazed that james didn’t just start screaming as soon as he walked into the kitchen

looking back through time, this is the birth and the start of something legendary

James giggling in the corner during the summarizing up bit was everything.

Enjoyed this video so so so much!! Please make more!

love to learn that the origin of pass it on was a nice dessert and jamie coming in and thinking "what about MEAT"

The video that started it all. Hands down the BEST series on the internet

Please make this into a series! Ebbers was such a cutie, leaving clues and planning everything

Absolute disaster, best part is that the only thing making it on the dish came from Ben and James

When you discover this channel late and watch everything is reverse Chrono order, and finally you see this one, you really appreciate just how far the boys have come

Years later we can confidently say that Jamie’s juicy Lucy sliders will always be known moving forward as his cloud eggs 😂

I’m still so confused why Jamie saw all the makings for a dessert dish and said hmmm you know what I should make....A BURGER! Like WHYYYY?!?!

Ben, Barry, Mike, and James all worked with a (broadly) cohesive theme: dessert. Jamie, because he's Jamie, made meat. Oy.

Jamie, you are 100% responsible for that trainwreck. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Bens face when he realises the normals haven't learnt a single thing in 8 years! where did it all go wrong??!!!

I had one overwhelming thought this entire video For f*cks sake, Jamie.

Jamie making a slider is the biggest plot twist since the ending of Fight Club

The progression of this 'group project' reminds me of all my academic experiences and half of the offices I've worked in. *Sob*

"Oh make a dessert? Hm white chocolate, caramel, bread pudding, fruits..? Yes, ofc, this needs meat!"

So much respect for James being able to save it! 😂

This is literally the epitome of all of you: Ben was completely organized and left clues for his friends to follow because he knows how he wants it to look and damn it he will leave breadcrumbs for them so they won't mess up. Barry tried to put a unique, out-of-the-box spin on the salad that may or may not have worked. Jamie thought meat. Mike thought practically but was too busy laughing at the lack of organization in his other friends. And James had to clean up after everyone's mess. This is Sorted in a nutshell.

Watching this video for the first time little did we know that this would turn out to be one, if not the greatest, channels most successful series of content 😂😂 the series has provided so many channel iconic moments and would be a cardinal sin for them to stop or never have pursued this series 😂

Watching this in 2021, you lads have come so far in the Pass It On Videos. Would love to see a reaction and recreation of this video (James included obvs)

This was one of the most memorable vids

I appreciate that they’ve just added James to the mix as the Fifth Beatle.

I just watched this entire series backwards and I can say I am impressed at how far you all have come!!

Re-watching this after the final Pass it on with James in it. We're gonna miss him.

Barry is me when I turn in a crappy project last minute : "well that is not my problem anymore"

Mike did a surprisingly good job of attempting to pull the mess together. Nice one mate, best normal in this video 😊

Please don't "practice to make it perfect"!! There are enough cooking shows that just like to show the polished finish, the beauty of Sorted is that You are Us!! Watching you guys cook is like hanging with your mates in the kitchen. Feel more confident attempting your recipes than i would another arty farty chef!!! Keep up the Brilliant work guys!! Sending love from Cyprus!! :)

"It wasn't that spicy!" *Flashback to Barry choking on said 'not spicy' pineapple piece* lmfao! This whole video was amazing hahaha :D As for suggestions....perhaps there's just too many of you doing it? You know, the whole 'too many cooks in the kitchen ruins the whole bunch' type thing. Perhaps it would work better as like a 2 person tag team, and they compete with another 2 person tag team? You still get the essence of what you were trying to accomplish, plus there's a smidge of competition to make everyone more determined to decipher what their partner has been doing?

James saved it. He's like the person in a group project who takes everyone's random, in-cohesive work and rescues it by turning them into a presentable end-product.

Thats pretty much the definiton of "too many cooks spoil the porridge".......or "at least there are two competent chefs in that kitchen"

You are all so incredibly charming, that it wouldn't matter at all what ingredients you are tasked with, because you're on screen chemistry is so flawless and mesmerizing to watch, and wholesome, that every result that comes about through your team and your channel, is greater than the sum of its parts, which is analogously more impressive when you stop to admire just how great all of the individual members of sorted are. Warmest regards from Flint, Michigan

Since Ben announced a pass-it-on this week, felt nostalgic and decided to do pass-it-on reruns and boy oh boy, we've come so far from this 😂😂😭 Ahh man.

What we learn is: normals don't think like chefs, and if you want Jamie to be a team player, you'll have to HIDE EVERY BIT OF MEAT WHERE HE CAN'T FIND IT.

I love this! After so long together, I can really see how and which direction everyone will go. Ben-take something simple and make it super fancy; Jamie- savory, usually meat; Mike- simple and classic; Barry -sweet and/or out of the box; and Jamie- oh Jesus Christ. Love this, please continue!

I can't believe it's been over 5 years of pass it on

I can't believe I just found this channel a month ago. What have I been doing with life honestly

"...I put them straight in the bin." 🔥🔥🔥

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES THIS IS SO ENTERTAINING

watching this now knowing barry is allergic to pineapple is wild.

I love how everyone by Jamie was able to discern what Ben was doing. Had me laughing from start to finish... Please make this a series.

I actually love this video concept!!! Please keep "pass it on "going!!! If at first you don't succeed...well. You know how it goes!

My suggestion for "improving" this format would be leaving a short message about what's been done. Maybe a word or character limit to convey what's been started and where you wanted to go with it. I think there is a good chance the attempts at short hand for this would be really funny too.

Sitting in quarantine going through all the relay challenges this was genius idea well done guys super entertaining

ahhh I see it’s been absolute carnage from the start of the series 🤣
