The Galloping Gourmet may arrived ahead of him in a photo finish, but the Swedish Chef is second only to the Frog that was this boy’s favorite guest on the Ed Sullivan Show
On some occasions, I've come across other Swedes advising foreigners not to joke about the Swedish chef in the company of Swedes. Those people are idiots who lack a healthy sense of humour. 99% of all Swedes love and adore this guy, although being a trifle sceptical to his cooking methods. Love from Sweden!
@@MDCSWildcats86 Denmark has plenty of delicious food and is home to many gifted cooks and brilliant chefs, but in comparison to Denmark the rest of Scandinavia (and even more so the Nordic countries including the Baltic states) is huge and of course has a lot more to offer than Denmark. For example, they don't hunt a lot of moose and bear in central Copenhagen.
Many fond memories sitting at Grandma and Grandpa's house watching The Muppet Show and laughing till I pee my pants when the Swedish Chef would come on and acts so crazy
On the right side of the screen he had a bottle of McIlhenny's Tabasco sauce which he never used. That would have added a new facet to the mix. That stuff can be brutal if you aren't careful, even though it is only about 50,000 Scoville units, which puts it #14 on the list of hottest peppers.
Me and my family all sat laughing so much every week watching this show some 30-40 years ago😂since we are Swedish speaking it was even more fun, as this chef's wanna-be-Swedish actually sounded Swedish although it was simply jibberish😂
Wasn't he supposed to be Finnish in Sweden ? Cheers from France, mate ! (Here, for once, the dubbing became legendary, done by people who understood what a gem they had in their hands !)
@@inessa5923 In Sweden you mean ? (When I watch Swedish movies, in original version of course, I can't help thinking of our dear chef. Yes, I know… I'm eeeeeeeeeeevil ! 😁)
You're pretty cool about it. But doing fake Swedish language is racist in todays political correctness. Vinnie Veducci from Saturday Night Live is an example of comedy where they actually use real Italian words and language.
I just watched the popcorn shrimp episode last night!, and those cool little shrimp all in the boiler was hilarious!, those little shrimp eyes had me rolling on the floor!, Bork, Bork, Bork!, lololol!
When I was growing up there was this kid who used to do an impression of this guy that would flat out crack us up! 😂😂😂 But Andy Samberg's impression is the best!
My brother works with someone who talks just like the Swedish Chef. And it had me in stitches because I've heard the chap speak and I couldn't keep a straight face 🤣🍿⬅️ My favourite clip 🤣
@@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401 The theory is that Jim Henson saw a sign "järnvägskorsning" (railroad crossing) during a brief visit in Sweden and thought it would be a typical Swedish name.
@@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401 I suppose this is what my beautiful, melodic language sounds like to an American. It's not completely off the mark sound by sound (and great fun). I used to speak total gobbledygook myself, before I got to learn some proper English. By the way - there is an old story of a real Swedish chef mumbling to himself while cooking on American television. As the story goes, he should have been a role model for this character. I doubt it's true.
@@magnusholmberg9202 I think Swedish is a beautiful language, (a bit like Dutch maybe?) I just feel bad that Jim Henson had a puppet that made a mockery of it.
He was one of my favorite Muppets! You could hardly understand what he was saying but he made me laugh mire then any of the others except for "Animal" who talked in English giberish too.
@@frederickglass1583 Well, that's a more generic term, not exclusively for chemical weapons. Mine is exclusively chemical-weapon grade, being that I'm nowhere near a nuclear power station so I can't steal a little waste plutonium for that extra Godzilla-level kick.
I'm almost 50 and the Swedish Chef makes me giggle uncontrollably EVERY TIME!
Me too lol
Nothing wrong with that
Same for me too
That's the magic of the Muppets.
Well I am going to be 55 in January 2022 and I really just LOVE the Muppets and wish I could get Season 4 and Season 5 on DVD and Blu-ray 🤗❤
Before Gordon Ramsay and Rachel Ray and the rest of these so called chefs. This was The Original celebrity chef! Bork Bork Bork!! Thank you sir 🍗🥩🥙🍴👊🏾
The only difference is that the swedish chef is made out of fabric.
The Galloping Gourmet may arrived ahead of him in a photo finish, but the Swedish Chef is second only to the Frog that was this boy’s favorite guest on the Ed Sullivan Show
As a kid, the Swedish Chef was my first favorite chef!! Well, next to Julia Child... 😃
Lies again? Fake Chefs
Absolutely 💯. Agree 👍
The only tv chef worth watching.
The Swedish Chef was the best part of the Muppet Show, along with Muppet Labs segments.
And Animal
@@mordekaieugenis1202 Especially Animal 🤗❤🇨🇦
There wasn’t enough Animal. The Muppet Lab segments were always a riot, and Chef was awesome.
Don't forget Statler and Waldorf
@@reedermh Heh, indeed... in fact, I just finished watching a compilation of them last night.
I worked in hotels for many years. My Swedish guests absolutely loved this guy.
Why shouldn't Swedes have a healthy sense of humour too ? ;)
Sorry to say it but we swedes barely know about this Guy
Isn't he the English Chef in Sweden?
That little mischievous laugh he does when adding extra peppersaucen is everything.
*hauten saussen
When he was doing it, I said to myself _"oh God he's goin' to explode"_... But I was not prepare to see him literally do so ! x'D
@@sirjazz1268 i literally keeled over, threw my beer, and about shit myself laughing
I miss this dude so much
Im 50 and I still have this tune in my head when cooking...
When it blows your hat off, you know it's ready.
Best comment ever 😂😂😂😂

I'm told that in Sweden and Germany, the chef is Danish.

He just does not speak Swedish... He is kind of funny though :)
@@PMMagro To me as a Swede he sounds very Swedish although he doesn't speak actual Swedish.
This is how I learned to speak Swedish.
😂😂 Borky Bork
Hahaha good luck haha
This is where I learned to cook
This is how I learned English, cooking, and Swedish
Lol 😂
I still love the Muppet Show... 40+ years later.
Laughter is the greatest gift of life
Amen!
According to Kermit, children is #1 gift, ice cream is #2 and laughter is #3. 😂
One of!
The original IRON Chef, No exception
The Swedish Chef i believe got me into cooking. Not Gourmet or fancy foods. But inspired me to cook for myself or learn my own crafts
Do you also speak in mock Swedish when cooking or crafting as well?😆
So how many times did you throw your utensils over your shoulders?
Always a laugh with the Swedish Chef. Gonna look for the Chocolate Moose!😂
The moose's name was Mickey. Mickey Moose. And his sidekick, Ronald Duck. :D
And the squirrelly stew!!
@@melkiorwiseman5234 Mickey Moose is a legit thing, too. I’m surprised they haven’t gotten nuked by Disney’s legal team.
Ah yes, the moøse
@@melkiorwiseman5234The name of the Moose WAS BULLWINKEL &the Squirrel was Called Rocky.

Same! Sepultura!!! Rock on
Ok
it never gets old watching the Swedish chef
Timeless comedy.
OMG. The comic genius of Jim Henson.
Swedish chef is my favourite cook. 💓💓💓💓
I love the swedish chef he's my all time favorite muppet how he screws up dishes for pure humor is AMAZING 🤣😂
I just got a Swedish chef pin at Disney World! Love him!!!!❤
Screws up? No. Improves? Yes.
@@guntherbgunnerson8989 facts 😆
The Swedish chef funny 👨🏼🍳🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Henson and his crew were absolutely brilliant.
Well I can safely say he didn’t put enough specy spicy

@James As do I.
But perhaps over did the hotsy totsy
Oh look this man has a pedophile flag as a pfp
What is this made up language
I used him as a resource to learn Swedish until I realised I wasn't getting very far.
LMAO
e borshken kuuken schlacken?!!
Haha, vad rolig du är. När jag hör the swedish chef förstår jag bara något enstaka ord 😄
@@mldlundberg558 Jag förstår inget då det är bara svammel som kommer ut från han, det är så löjligt så att det blir lite roligt när man kollar på han.

He doesnt sound any swedish
As a dane i can confirm that is how you sound sometimes 😂 ❤
I loven der Sveedish Chefen. He's so fjerkin funny.
Haha I am Swedish and I find this funny, not offensive like some people from other races and cultures, lol just chill people it is just a joke.
Gave Sweden much publicity.
Hinga binga burgin!

@@stevenjohnson4283 True, but nobody has heard of VV
Still funny after all these years thanks for putting a smile on my face
Love this! Him, Animal and Beeker, were my favourites!
Then you must watch Danny Boy sung by those three muppets
@@joni-leesmith3991 Will do! Thanks 👍!
read mine then you understand
Crazy Harry too
I used to feel sorry for Grover when he was working as a waiter & that mean guy with the blue face used to come in at lunchtime!
As a hot sauce freak, I love the fact the capsaicin overload literally blows Chef's fucking hat into low earth orbit
everytime i see that part i laugh my ass off
Have you had something that literally blow your hat or hair into low earth orbit, or did you faint while your ears still smoking?
The popcorn shrimp episode was my favorite.
I just watched the popcorn shrimp episode last night!, and those cool little shrimp all in the boiler was hilarious!, those little shrimp eyes had me rolling on the floor!, Bork, Bork, Bork!, lololol!
Never 2 old 2 see always the same age as first seen his recipes have stood the test of time. My hero.
The Swedish chef tune and Bork Bork Bork stay on in the mind and play when there’s a massive disaster situation in kitchen as well as outside it! 🙃❤️
I am 72 and I loooove the Chef❤❤❤❤❤
Best cook👨🏻🍳 in TV📺!
Mother was Norwegian and she just loved him
I loved The Muppet Show when I was growing up...never knew 'Swedes' were SOOO in to HOT food until now...😂
I’m 99.9% sure Sweden was never offended
In Sweden he’s The English Chef. Not joking.
When I was growing up there was this kid who used to do an impression of this guy that would flat out crack us up! 😂😂😂 But Andy Samberg's impression is the best!
My favourite Muppet. He's half the reason I became a cook.
And the other half is because you were hungry.
This is the reason you become a chef? Really????
me too 😀👍👍
Mike Philp He’s half the reason I became a muppet. Miss Piggy is the other half.
I don't know whether I ought to be offended or laugh, I'm of Swedish descent but I do love my hot sauce!
BORK BORK BORK
That's me when I cook my food, with lots of specy spicy, hotsie totsie, and pepper sauce 😄🔥🥵.
I love his voice and the stuff he says and making
Ye borg is here with the speecy spicy peepper sooace.
Dis guy makes alotta sense ! 🇺🇸
I see Swedish Chef. I click it. 2 years old? I CLICK ANYWAYS!
I find age of clips has zero percent to do with anything.
Fun fact: the Swedish Chef is one of the few Muppets with human hands.
I never knew that until now but looking at the video those are human hands
I fell in love with the Swedish chef cause of his real hands
But who is the Swedish Chef married to?
In the popcorn skit, you can see the wedding ring on his left hand.
@@ELCADAROSA you have a keen eye for details.
@jer quake You mean Ingrid-Jens? :)
I love this guy hes a hell of a cook
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🤠
ץ גר
LOL!!! 0:32 The "Hotsie Totsie". 👌🤣 Ah....They just don't make them like that anymore.
Another crazy kind of work by the Swedish chef

1:03 That's too much spicy sauce! 🔥🔥🔥
The Swedish Chef cracks me up in this video.
I love this Swedish cook.
Good times, good humor, good memories!
The Swedish Chef has been making the whole world laugh over all these years absolutely brilliant
This is one of the few times where he succeeds.
My favorite part is the song and the throwing random items
“This is offensive to Swedish people!” - Rabid twitter user
Only one celebrity chef I respect.
A cooking show with him will be amazing.
1:17 Well that blew his mind Literally 😂
😂😂🤣🤣 my absolute favorite muppet character
Cartoon spicy foods comedy. CLASSIC.
And also very good.
Hot jazz!
He forgot the Carolina Ghost Pepper/Reaper that will really blow his hat off
IM IN LOVE WITH THE MUPPETS!!!
I grew up watching him and now I own a restaurant ty Swedish chef
When the world was a good place. Now its up the crapper
ramsey..... go home and stay there..... swedish chef is here, and he will stay
Came here after an eighty minute program about Jim Henson on Swedish radio. I never knew the chef's name was Järnvägskorsning... Bork!
Did they demand to know why Jim Henson thought that THAT is what Swedish sounds like?

You can tell instantly this is a 1970's original.
that is what I was wondering...... I could SWEAR that I heard Jim's voice but I could not tell if this was an old one or from nowish.....
My whole life Ive lived in Sweden and talk the language as any but when I saw the chef I knew my life had been a lie, he's to swedish for me!
I think swedish chef made himself a block buster hot sauce
He could've competed in a Texas chili cook-off.
Whenever I'm having a crappy day, I turn to the Muppets. ❤
He was one of my favorite Muppets! You could hardly understand what he was saying but he made me laugh mire then any of the others except for "Animal" who talked in English giberish too.
1:17 When The Swedish Chef Drinks 90 Bottles of Tabasco
Haahahhhah… I loved him when I was a kid… used to go to school talking like the Swedish Chef and drive the teachers mad!!

Still MY ALLTIME FAVIRITE CLIP AWSOME😅😅😅😅😊😂❤
That gag ever get to old I always laugh at that part it hilarious 🤣 1:17

Could use Swedish chef's Hot Pepper sauce as rocket fuel!
Lesson Learned : Never Eat Spicy Sauce Or Your Top Will Blow!!!
1:15 What was that!? That was so hilarious! LOL!!!!
0:22 The spishy spicy jimmy juice!
That's actually how I make my own chili. It's not labeled "Chemical-Weapon Grade" for nothing.
