- Michael and Georgie, a husband and wife team, have a mission to inspire lightbulb moments globally. They have created handmade, customisable and unique floor and desk lamps that look like pencils with the electrical cord featuring as part of the design. The couple has come to the Tank demonstrating some good numbers to date and they are here asking for 90k for 15% of their company valuing the business at 600k. Currently, in 35 stockists across Australia, US, Europe, UK, and Scandinavia, will the Sharks have a lightbulb moment or aren't Michael and Georgie as switched on as they appear?

An international sensation, Shark Tank AUS features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Tank from our Sharks, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

It rubbed Naomi the wrong way that she didn’t remember the guys name who presented their product 😂😂
100%😭
I'm out
who in their right mind pays 2500$ to have a giant pencil lamp in their house???
Idiots with more cash than brain
Tons of rich people by this stuff all the time. No big deal.
Same people that buy Apple products.

ikea will be doing something similar for $20

But it's paper mache' and catches on fire, we need the 1,000 dollar version made by skilled elves.
Her voice sounds like she is smiling , laughing and chewing all at the same time
That is a brilliant comment sir
She’d be a great personal trainer lol
She sounds special needs
I've never laughed so hard at a pitch then when Steve said it's just a lamp, I mean its a lamp. Lmfao
Reminds me of bugs life “but it’s a rock…”
A 2000 dollar lamp at that
am i the only one who doesnt understand this product at all
Dave Rowarth same I mean it really is just a lamp there’s nothing special about it
Yeah, but its a pencil...so yeah...lol...!!!
Understand it? No...but I still oddly want one.
There's nothing to understand it's a single productwith no idea and how to turn in a business or the scale production or manufacturing or any sort of quantifiablemetric to protect where the business would go if you can even call it a business.
I literally had no idea what their business model was until someone explicitly said "it's a lamp".
As an Australian. I apologise to the world and am embarrassed by a lamp -_-
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Lol.
I knew Australia was a shithole.. so its cool
a trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Byron Conrad Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since november myself :)
@Byron Conrad yup, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
If they came in with the same product and pitched themselves a high end art deco business selling interactive pieces they may have gotten a deal.
Good point.
Even Aladdin wouldn't have gotten a deal with these sharks.
@@derespektan3980 😂
Steve reaction of the price after pushing the lamp around is priceless
I like that old man he usually tries to help the entrepreneurs even if he doesn’t invest
It's because he already has a lightbulb at the end of his 'pencil'
I love Andrew
Everyone always says that Andrew is old...
@@zeroeffortmemes he doesn't look that old he just has grey hair
OLD MAN!!!!....LMAAAOOO!!!!
She irritates the bejesus out of me.. Sounds like a chihuahua who is trying to howl..

2500$ for a novelty lamp, and they think they have a big business plan?
The dollar sign goes BEFORE the number, idiot.
@@Skindoggiedog depends on where you're from actually
@@Skindoggiedog In France, it's after the number.
Thank you Jolan. I love languages. And vivre la France.
Also, a friend of mine is thinking of making a penis shaped lamp where the end lights up. He's looking for investors. Contact me if you're interested. I'm thinking perhaps there should be something coming out of it? Creamy white chocolate or ... I don't know. Let me know what you think
Thats so stupid. I could have one made for 250 bux today
4:27 Don't worry, I don't think anyone will be stealing your ideas.
Did they just go in to the shark tank and pitch a lamp? Lmfao
shelim6 it’s a pencil that draws. The cord is the pencil mark. It’s not a bad idea but the idiot selling it is well, an idiot.
When will these entrepreneurs figure out that;
“I love what I do” and
“I believe in this 110%”
Does not mean anything about the success of your potential business.
Also they won’t give away their ideas because they are super easy to copy. And if it sells, someone will, and they’ll do it cheaper.
You can do it for cheaper, obviously. Their game plan is novelty room decoration. Toss in some cheap chinese labor, plastic, shitty paint, less material and etc and you can produce one of their lamps for under $100. Even so it's not unique. Cosplayers built big novelty items for costumers on the daily, with hundreds of people offering their skill to commission a piece. The only argument is the quality of the finished product.
they can't hold a shot for more than two seconds in this show without freaking out and switching to another shot. Geez calm down...
I watched the first 2 minutes before I turned it off. Most shots are 1 to 2 seconds, The longest held is 3 seconds. The editor should be fucking shot.
Thanks for pointing this out lol, now it’s annoying the hell out of me
@@taliehughes4341 you're welcome! :P
I can't unsee it now. Damn you :p
At least when they're speaking they can say more that 4 words without it switching angles constantly. I think America is worse lol. But yes, it's annoying regardless
Shark: what ?? 2500 ?? It's just a lamp!!
Girl: Iffit ???🐰
2500 FOR THE SMALL ONE
@@HP-cn4sd No. For the big one
They are energetic, creative and willing to take a risk, but selling an investment property to fund the design and manufacturing of a novelty desk lamp in the shape of a giant 2B pencil is, some might argue, the very definition of madness.
For real. At that price? I just bought a lamp for 15 bucks at Walmart. Works great. Too expensive and I don’t see a real business actually spending that much for something people walk by and say “ah cool” and move on with their work day
I don't get it. It's a lamp shaped like a pencil and they have made a company out of that?
John Mason I’ll buy 30% for $0.02
Right, wtf $2500 for a lamp
The cord is the pencil mark you idiot
John Mason 😁
@@rhuarkk2138 who are you replying to? Your comment doesn't make sense, in this thread,
Steve is hilarious
Made a pen lamp. Comes with 90’ of wire and clicks to turn on and off instead of twisting and made in China so it’s wayyyy cheaper.
It's just a quirky lamp, and could probably do okay as a low cost gift, or a mid priced quirkly lamp, but those prices are insane.
It's always funny when the sharks can't understand that there is a huge difference between telling a potential investor future product ideas, while sitting in an office or conference room, and revealing them on an tv program viewed worldwide.
Each interview last for 30min to 1 hour. They cut the majority of it. They can just ask that part out. Like 99% of people does
That’s what I was about to comment, obviously they meant well tell you if you invest not on tv
Yeah, but they agreed to go on a TV show to pitch. It's not like they didn't know there would be cameras there.
What is the "good cause" she is referring to in the intro? Making money?
Steve Baxter, I love that bloke. A mate in Adelaide used to work for him. He's the only person in Australia worth listening to on the NBN
I’m so confused why the hell would someone pay 2500$ for a lamp that looks like a pencil?
With that money you can buy a lamp which works on solar energy. No energy consumption from the grid.
Now that would be awesome instead of the pencil ✏️ showpiece
Aladdin making his pitch...
Steve: "It's just a lampppp!!!"
“Honey, can we go on vacation?”
“No, sorry, I spent our entire savings on a fucking pencil lamp…”
The problem is they don't understand business, if they want to sell this product for that ridiculous price they need to sell it as modern art. Selling this in a gallery or high in furniture store as interactive art wouldn't be hard they could probably even double the price.
However their approach for this particular product is all wrong, they're trying to heavily commercialize and mass produce it. Once that happens it becomes "just a lamp" not art. That's fine too but if it's just another commercially available lamp it would need to be priced like 1 aka ~$300 tops.
If they came in with the same product and pitched themselves a high end art deco business selling interactive pieces they may have gotten a deal.
this is the most pointless thing I've ever seen
Entry Level version of Dragon's den
I’d much rather have the female leg lamp from A Christmas Story .... 😂😂
Haha. yeah that one is more aesthetically pleasing.
@@xenxander - the lamp shade added to its mystery 😂
They should have used it as an example of custom products they can make for schools or businesses, etc
Excellent idea......they should hire you!
Definition of “a product; not a company”
Idea for a shark tank special: All the premiers and chief ministers come on and pitch their business model for running their respective states and territories.......Steve then roasts them for the second half of the show!
"It's just a lamp"
"Is it?"
6:30 : She calls them lamps. Lol.
She reminds me of Emma Chambers’ character Alice Tinker in The Vicar of Dibley.
YES!!!
yeah.
2:36 "It's just a lamp." My thinking exactly.
It's cute. A novelty. But it's one product that cost too much.
Noone is spending 2k on that
I went to business school before these types of shows existed and one entire year was dedicated to creating and pitching a product just like on shark tank. If your first semester business plan had zero salary for your team they would grill you hard on how you expect to function as an adult with no income. It's a cheap way of making your numbers look better since labor is so expensive but it's not realistic for most people.
At some point you have to question if maybe your teachers are teachers because they don't have what it takes to do what they teach.
Excessive background music😳😳 I'm out as I can't here a flipping word😂😂
i'm with you, tv shows need to stop with the crap music to create some fake emotional reaction from viewers....but then again - it is tv for entertainment not intellectual stimulus so we're being treated accordingly by the producers
Literally a 3 thousand dollar lamp, lol who would even want a pencil of a lamp
It’s ugly
Why does the middle fella have to turn into the host everytime hes out
Yeah, it's really annoying, they don't do that on any of the other versions of this show.
they all kind of take in turns doing that
@@edwardness7497 yes, they do, but he does it a lot more than anyone else does.
@@msstarlight4770 i'm going to say my addiction to these videos is clearly way off a medical diagnosis by comparison then :D
@@edwardness7497 This is probably because I'm half asleep, but, I don't understand your comment. Could you, maybe, rephrase it or something? Sorry.
That had to be one of the most senseless pitches I've ever seen. It's a lamp, they won't say what the future holds... oh, and they sell the big ones for 2.5k?! Holy moly what a dumpster fire.
It's just lamp “ is it” 😂😂
This reminds me of that episode in The Office when the guy interviewing for the Regional Manager job said he had a bunch of ideas but wouldn't say what they were, for the same reason: He didn't want to give it away for free. "Color-code said documents. TM."
Did you just trademark that?!
@@gawarlock4148 That's a verbal trademark. That's an agreement.
@@beakt 🤣😂😂 Will Arnet man.... I have made a huge mistake (His role from Arrested Development)
How do you even call this an "idea". Came here to watch some innovative ideas and what I am seeing is some lamps in the shape of pencil. Ridiculous ! Kevin would have tore then into pieces. I get to see different lamps of different shapes in Alibaba for under $30.
Are you saying that Mr. Wonderful would have crushed them like the cockroaches that they are?
Yea the Aussie sharks are dolphins compared to the US sharks
@@Involent yes definitely
@@FransceneJK98Yes seriously
Who the hell would buy a $1000 pencil lamp, that can fall over with a poke
Next up: A chair that looks like a pencil sharpener.
Man:- I am on top of the canyon
Steve:- let me push you, will get to know if you will fall or not...
Naomi is just sitting there like “I’m not having this stupidity whatsoever.”
Freaks high fiving each other
Steve's comments at the end crack me up. Lol
Who really needs a pencil lamp? That's an odd thing to bring into the shark tank.
5:09 that's the nicest "i'm out" in the history of ever.
“STEEVVVE!”-all sharks
Love Steve's "subtitles." Haha
Sharks want businesses. The pencil is fine as long if there was a whole collection of similar design products to open a shop or franchise. They had a single cute lamp that becomes outdated quickly and it's easily replicable for a cheaper price.
Their future ideas, might be even better than the pencil light! The floor's the limit
The lamps are cool, as a graphic designer i like the esthetics... sure, but its very inefficient at what its meant to be used for... the desk-lamp's light mostly goes up because the lamp casts its own shadow onto the desk. So, probably not the best desklamp to get. 😝
such good entertainment, love the exchanges...
Georgie goes *POP*
The editing for this is about on par for a flipbook.
"Holy snappin' fruit!" 😂
Australia is...too nice..they need Mr wonderful
The only lightbulb moment Georgie has been responsible for, is probably numerous requests to turn the light off.
"Tell me about your other ideas so i can steal them"
"No"
"im out"
It's a $2500 lamp!
The sharks look like the cast from Clue. Each is the personification of their signature color.
Such a lovely couple)
If I was inventing the square wheel, and it was a top secret project, then I would not want to say it on TV. You would have a caveman come along and copy my ideas, but alter it and make a round wheel.
Its a super risky "product" to invest in. But, it is super cool, its a very niche item but could do quite well in galleries
Australia needs MR. WONDERFUL 🏆
I love lamp.
Everyone is saying this is stupid but realistically the cord is the pencil mark which could be very cool in some designs.
"you could have talked longer, but not quite" hahaha. I was about to say wow she is actually going to make a deal when no one else did and actually prove some of the people saying she never makes a deal wrong. I guess not. lol.
The big one is $2500 👀 Jesus. Even selling commercially, $500 would be high. It’s a nice novelty but it’s gotta be affordable. Make different lamps the resemble other items. It’s too expensive and makes it even more niche.
Why does every second needs a music backgrownd? No need
because it's a crap version of Dragon's den and to them it's all acting
I like quirky pop art design so I'd defo buy one of these lamps!
We’re asking for...
TO CLARIFY, YOU’RE ASKING FOR...
This version gives me PTSD, I prefer the dragons
Lol i love steve
I have a lamp... I have a pen...
Ah
Pen lamp
I have a lamp... I have pencil...
Ah
Pencil lamp
Love this product
I recently saw there product in IKEA Melbourne and they aren't selling much! $2,500 for a novelty lamp is far too expensive to the general public.
Welcome to the land that's way under, down under, where pencils now shine, shark tank mania, shark tank mania.
Not gonna lie.. of all the stupid Lion's Den, Shark Tank, Höle der Löwen Shenannigans, I LOVE the AUS version the most.
The 2 Ladies are just so bloody smart, yet kind and adorable, not to say beautifull, our male sharks are always kinda nice and humble, even when they decline a deal, they usually have something nice to say or advice to give.
This mis me, from Germany, giving a huge kudos to your ethics, dear Aussies. Oioioi!
Yes yessss
I do hate that the sharks are like baffled they don't want to show everything they will be doing..uh hello you're on a broadcasted show and someone with tons of money could take an idea and produce it faster than they could.
i know its just a lamp, but i still want it lol
Barbara: I'm not even on this show so I'm out.
Shark Tank Australia has the most affable investors of the series! They always provide the viewer with information on how businesses work, all while being optimistic and patient with their guest.
Also, speaking as someone living and raised in Los Angeles, everyone on this show is so attractive! Australia seems like one beautiful mixing pot! Best series hands down!
Had a Swedish friend holiday here say the same thing.
This is 1 of those ideas that a major brand will make it for $50 and they will be gone. No way a $300 and a $2000+ lamp will last. Lol no way.
That's the Rolls Royce, where is Bentley? lmao
Steve's my fav
if you ever feel useless just think of this $2500 lamp
I LOVE LAMP
