Gordon Ramsay built his television persona as a demanding chef on shows including Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and MasterChef, where sniffing and tasting dishes is part of how he judges them. Short commands from those appearances are widely clipped online because his delivery is instantly recognisable even out of context. This smell it moment circulates as a reaction sound on short video edits and soundboards, used whenever food looks questionable. Its brevity keeps it popular, since it can be dropped into a clip without covering dialogue.
