Here’s a carefully curated selection of 27 Celebrity Bake Off moments that embody what it means to be chaotic good.

  1. When comedian Russell Brand immediately established that being on the show is Serious Business™. Russell Brand said, “It’s like being in the shadow of greatness,” and added, “Divinity is a marquee.”
  2. When comedian James Acaster opened the oven to check on his flapjacks and discovered nothing but the void. He wished he was dead as it is the worst experience of his life.
  3. And the flapjack crisis resulted in one of the most iconic Bake-Off quotes: “Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon appetit.”
  4. James McAvoy’s cunning plan to get a member of the crew to explain to him why his dough was so damp. He planned to say, “It feels a bit wet” but nobody noticed unfortunately.

  6. Daisy Ridley technically describing her methods to Paul. 
  7. Queer Eye style expert Tan turning the tables on Paul and roasted him in front of him.
  8.  Paul was cutting biscuit and said, “Nice Crack!”. Tom commented, “Thank you, but what do you think about the short bread.” The comedian never leaves to seize an opportunity.
  9. YouTuber KSI hopelessly watching as approximately 90% of his bake leaked onto the counter.
  10. When Russell pitched an exceptionally personal showstopper to the judges and Prue, as per usual, was unfazed. He commemorated the biscuit as a symbol of birth. He commented, “The cosmic vagina as the portal of all life.”
  11. And Russell presenting the final creation to the judges with a heartfelt speech about the nature of life and also vaginas. Receiving a “fantastically good” comment by Prue.
