  1. The gasp sound effects somehow made the reveals worse. Huge buildup to reveal an apron with a crappy little logo on it, and the crowd reacts like someone fell off the trapeze.

  2. Cook books are actually one of the biggest scams in publishing, bots can write them by copying free recipes online and its very difficult for original publishers to prove or seek damages because its not like they invented how to cook beef enchiladas or whatever

  3. I cannot watch stuff like this.. over the top enthusiasm, screaming and letting out all sorts of sound and ridiculous behavior.

    The same goes for being a fan or have a ‘favourite’ somebody or thing.

    How did this post trigger my lack of emotions? Or do I have too many?

    Great, bye.

  4. How does this even get on tv? The gasping was only the cherry on top. The entire thing is beyond hyperbole. This clip as a whole is like a big fat smirking nightmare. How in the living fuck does this even come together? I just can’t even fathom how things have become this exaggerated.

    Behold. A TOWEL.

    *gasp* and cheer

    This isn’t a joke?

  5. This particular sound effect has been around for quite some time… There are also a series of yells that always appear in movies as an “inside joke”. I wish someone would put a website together with all of these common sound effects or perhaps make a mobile app so I can incorporate the sounds into my everyday life. That would be great.

  6. MasterChef started out as the nice little cooking show in the UK. Then they created an Aussie version which included all this bullshit and sensationalism, and ruined it. But the ratings went through the roof. This is what we have now.

  7. It’s such an inappropriate sound for this scenario. Seriously this is the gasp you play when some kind of insane sexual abuse is revealed to an audience, not when they get to see this years masterchef apron…

  8. It’s been in dozens of movies and TV shows, it’s like the Wilhelm Scream of gasps.

    Listen closely, there is a 4th copy of it as the crowd begins to “cheer” around 1.5 seconds on the clock (cheering at the cookbook announcement). It’s been faded into the applause and cheers, possibly stretched or cut but it was used as a transient of sorts for that round of cheering.

  9. I used to love this show. I don’t know if it was my young naivety or just a phase, but this show has succumbed into some of the worst hack-job reality I’ve ever seen. The fact that people watch it and think the dramatic endings to the cooking is real and buy the sound effects of thunderous applause makes me feel superior somehow. I’m talking real /r/iamverysmart material floating in my head

  10. I have been to a MasterChef filming before. They film all the reactions and sounds before the show starts, as well as redo parts of the audio that had issues from previous shows. The reactions can include laughter, suspense, surprise, and reactions to food that looks delicious.

  11. I went to school for sound design and foley, and I know first hand that sound designers have a peculiar sense of humor. They love to troll. Ever hear of the Wilhelm Scream? I promise you that this *Gasp* sound effect is not an accident, and it is not there because the producers are tasteless either. It is there because the sound designer knows that most people (including the producers of the show) don’t listen closely enough to really pick up funny sound effects like this, and even if they hear it they don’t necessarily understand that it is a joke to begin with. I can almost guarantee you that the sound engineer who worked on this episode probably had a huge grin on his face when he was positioning these *Gasp*s at just the right moment, and he would probably bust out laughing if he saw that his work made it onto reddit.

  12. I love how when they reveal the apron it cuts to a lady in the crowd on the verge of tears. I can’t even imagine what her reaction will be when she finds out you can buy one of those aprons on amazon for 16 dollars.

  13. I wonder if this is Gordon ramses team. I love watching hells kitchen on Netflix, but the creepy horror wind chime noise is uses like 10 times each episode. It’s really off-putting.

  14. The one thing that always made me wonder about especially american shows is, how suicidal are the people having to edit this shit?

    Like do you enjoy suffering that much?

  15. The target audience for this stuff are morons who like cooking, but are still, essentially morons. They need melodrama and fakery so they don’t lose focus and stick around for the commercials.

    Blame the audience, not the creators.

  16. To be honest working in TV this is either a lazy editor and/or sound mixer, OR playing devils advocate, they were so pushed for time to get this to air that they just had to chuck the most basic shit in. Hilarious to watch though lol

  17. American TV is extremely over dramatic. There’s really no need for all the fast cuts and thumping music. Compare this to the UK version and it just seems tacky. Not that I’m saying UK TV is better or whatever but in this instance it’s certainly cooler. Less is more sometimes
