American Reacts Mitchell and Webb's Kitchen Nightmares

[@andrewjones575]

Mitchell & Webb have loads of brilliant sketches, including Are we the baddies? Have you been cheating again? & Cunnilingus - behind the scenes.

[@finncullen]

Easiest way to summarise Dunning Kruger is that people who are dumb don't realise they're dumb, and hence are confident. People who understand things better often are less confident because they know enough to know they don't know as much as they need to.

[@aaronmicalowe]

So, what is it called when an expert is too dumb to realise they're an expert?

[@NateBliss]

@@aaronmicalowe Imposter Syndrome :)

[@TheSlyngel]

No the Dunning Kruger effect means that in order to evaluate your competence in a given subject requires the same skills as actually being competent in that subject, that means that you cant evaluate your own competence in something you dont have enough skill in. That means that we are all victims of the Dunning kruger effect smarty pants scientist and gurgeling morons alike, it has nothing to do whit intelligence. Your comment is in fact an example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

[@hot5and77]

@@TheSlyngel Just a little addition here. A good example of the Dunning Kruger effect at work is the statistic showing that 80% of drivers claim to be above average.

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

@@aaronmicalowe - I would guess (although I'm no expert), 'expertise' ??? Did I win a prise ? 😃😎

[@ajivins1]

These two were a comedy team but, as they said in an interview, though they still had loads of ideas for sketches, "-no-one is commissioning sketch shows anymore..." so Robert Webb writes books whilst David Mitchell does 'Would I Lie to You' though they have done 'Peep Show and 'Back'. I think 'Vectron' is my favourite of their sketches, though 'Doctor Death' is good as well as their 'Evil Genius' ones.

[@Zajuts149]

For a while Vectron was scrubbed from KZbin. It is definitely one of their best! Avocado bathroom is still my favourite, though. Needlessly ambiguous terms is a great one too.

[@Kriae]

Also from That Mitchell & Webb Look and worth reacting to: Are we the baddies, Numberwang, The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, The Quiz Broadcast, Top Secret Government Conspiracies

[@Zajuts149]

YES! Connor needs to see the entire The Quiz Broadcast!

[@donkfail1]

They were brilliant at deconstructing these things and showing how absurd they really are. A favorite in that genre is The Gift Shop Sketch.

[@FrowningIke]

Mitchell and Webb - Job Interview It is only about 90 seconds long but it's brilliant and the ending just floors me every time!

[@joegotts1695]

Mitchell and web best man speech is my favourite

[@richardcook9794]

The best Mitchell and Web is.. Are we Baddies

[@TheLynneee]

Don't have to ask if anyone has seen Kitchen Nightmare's. This is a take off of that show. It was a show that originated in the UK before they took it over to the USA. The British version is more like this than the US version. They do show the US version on British TV.

[@tmarritt]

Dunning kruger is when some has a little bit of knowledge of a subject and then massively overestimates their understanding. Common in first year uni students. For example, then they get to the next year and realise everything they were taught its basically wrong but a stepping stone.

[@Ozzpot]

There's a lot of it about these days. Trust me, I'm pretty much an expert on Dunning-Kruger having half-read an article about it.

[@andrewjones575]

How can false info be a stepping stone?

[@tmarritt]

@@andrewjones575 in higher physics and maths its pretty common. It's about learning basic principles, it's just that those basic principles, also happen to be wrong, but if you don't understand them then you can't find out why they are wrong.

[@michaelanderson7715]

@@tmarritt Your stepping stone point is a gross generalisation, if even there exists a specific instance at all! 1. Give an example of when students "get to the next year and realise everything they were taught its basically wrong but a stepping stone". NOTE; Giving an example is NOT "higher physics and maths its pretty common". - You need to detail what was taught that was 'basically wrong', yet was a 'stepping stone' 2. "Common in first year uni students" suggests a LOT of examples occur, perhaps even a majority of all teaching progressions. - demonstrate there are numerous examples out there by providing supporting information... -------------------- I'll cautiously say this is bs and you're clueless.

[@tmarritt]

@@michaelanderson7715 I litterially provided you with a study. If your interested in the subject more then I suggest you do some reading of your own, I'm not debating it on KZbin comments, i have more important things to do with my life, like litterially anything else.

[@pwitney1]

David Mitchell - plays Shakespeare in the comedy Upstart Crow

[@channyh.221B]

You might recognize them both from the 'grammar Nazi' you've watched in December. (Don't shoot me, English is not my first language). Their sketches are hilarious, as some have pointed out. Watching the 'That Mitchell and Webb Look: Homeopathic A&E' one has me always in stitches.

[@carrot708]

i feel like this sketch mixed up Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen. Rarely are the chefs the issue in Kitchen Nightmares and the scenes like this in Kitchen Nightmares are usually Ramsay showing the actually-capable head chef a new, focused and more appropriate menu

[@LAGoodz]

Funny! Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares p’take for sure. He manages to refit a restaurant and design a new menu overnight. First night - always a disaster - then motivates the staff, 2nd night fantastic and they plead Gordon to stay, 24 hours after wanting to kill him. Every single show. Then on TripAdvisor a few weeks later, it’s closed down.

[@Codex7777]

No, that's not what the Dunning-Kruger effect is. It's the phenomenon that the least intelligent/knowledgeable people tend to massively overestimate their own intelligence/knowledge and the most intelligent/knowledgeable people tend to slightly underestimate theirs.

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence.

[@andrewjones575]

Gordon Ramsay visits many restaurants & hotels which have been losing money for years. Many of them have failed to update/renovate. Some have stale food or many rats/mice/cockroaches/ants/flies. Some are badly mismanaged. In some cases, the business was doing well under its previous management, but the current managers don't have a clue.

[@ajivins1]

I caught one where the person running it was a vegan and had never eaten anything there and wouldn't, so had no idea how bad the food was.

[@celt67]

Most of the restaurants eventually shut down because by the time they're viable for the program to consider them, they're already too far gone.

[@helenscott4698]

Don't miss the Armstrong and Miller Gordon Ramsey skit :)

[@ligaff3958]

The show was called Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares in the Uk and it first aired on channel 4 in 2004

[@horatiomh]

NO, this is NOT the Dunning-Kruger effect

[@Zajuts149]

Keep watching more Mitchell and Webb! Check out Armstrong and Miller's "WWII fighter pilots" too. Edit: Ok, I have lots of favourite Mitchell and Webb sketches, but this one I think is right up your alley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_Og2mpi9Gmetk

[@petrovic77marko]

Dunning Krueger (However it may be spelled) I believe is kind of the opposite. When you know so little in a subject you have no clue you know very little (or you have no idea how much you don't know)

[@Broadercasting]

This is a parody OF Kitchen Nightmares. It's probably not Dunning Krüger you are thinking of in this particular case, but the cognitive bias 'The Curse of Knowledge': Where you (The professional chef) think people (The student) knows more than they actually do. In a way it's the polar opposite to Dunning Krüger where the student thinks he knows more about a subject than he actually demonstrates...

[@matthill3293]

You should do some more Mitchell and Webb sketches as well as Little Britain.

[@BillySugger1965]

Aw bless, Kitchen Nightmares? The original is Hell’s Kitchen in the UK, but I guess that’s too racy for American sensitivities! 😂

[@donwhitehouse1354]

No, Hell's Kitchen is a different show - this sketch is based on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. (There is a UK and a US version of both shows).

[@30noir]

No, that's not what the Dunning-Kruger effect is. If you want to know, watch the Apprentice. They don't tell you, but they demonstrate it perfectly.

[@Jermbot15]

You're sort of but not really describing Imposter Syndrome, a kind of opposite of Dunning-Kruger, where a person is convinced they're not as clever or skilled as the folks around them think, and that they'll be found out eventually. Anyway, any of Mitchell and Webb's conspiracy videos are worth checking out.

[@StMargorach]

You should watch the English version instead of the American kitchen nightmares. The American version has been americanised to hell and back (each episode is exactly the same, with the same drama).

[@allanheslop4493]

i like your comment about knowing what you do 51 years of painting cars and people in my trade would say if you can piss you can paint have A SPRAY GUN GO FOR IT

[@tigrisparvus2970]

It is part of the Dunning Kruger effect that people with high skill tend to overestimate the ability of others. Check out the "David Mitchell's Soapbox" if you haven't already. The one called "Dear America" may fit nicely.

[@Broadercasting]

You are describing the 'Curse of Knowledge' bias. Dunning-Krüger is where someone thinks he knows more than he actually does and makes assumptions on that basis.

[@nicola1175]

You should watch peep show with David Mitchell and Robert Webb x

[@CrazyInsanelikeafox]

Doves. Love it.

[@MrMarcocain]

It’s just like kitchen nightmares 🤔 ya think?

[@ajaxlewis7664]

I like this guy but... boy, does his editing suck 😅 he's charismatic and relatable but not a single video goes by where there aren't issues. I did enjoy that weird bee sound at the end, though 🤣

[@aaronmicalowe]

It's hard to react without pausing. Some people memorize the whole show then give a long winded summary at the end that people often skip past. Other people, like McJibbin pause and express at the relevant points to keep it in context. It's almost impossible to time it right unless you've already seen the video before which would negate the purpose of doing a reaction.

[@ajaxlewis7664]

@@aaronmicalowe I'm talking about his fumbled introductions every video and the fact he just leaves them in without fixing them.

[@aaronmicalowe]

@@ajaxlewis7664 Oh, I skip intros on all reaction videos so don't know about those. I also skip outros so the only part of the reaction I see is when the video they're reacting to is playing.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@ajaxlewis7664 Yep, as well as regularly uploading another video at the same time as recording the current one, so you hear the uploading one starting to play while watching the current video. I've seen at least a dozen like this. No need for it, just do one thing at a time, instead of trying to 'optimise' every second! It gives the feeling of a production line, cramming in as many uploads as possible - rather than giving viewers a good experience.
