My favourite part of Dragons Den, is when Peter Jones asks a relatively simple question but gets a strange answer, and gives a gobsmacked expression while looking at the other dragons.
😂😂😂
lol literally happens every episode
Hahaha
He’s also quite clever to listen to other dragons offer first then overbid them ^^
She's literally dripping in repugnance, vitriol and unearned entitlement. I wouldn't invest in her. Even watching that clip makes my skin crawl.
I love how much the goblin looks like it's sulking whenever the dragons are criticising him.
That's editing
It was so poorly made kit was a joke. Both my daughters run their own businesses making both 3d and 2d models for live streaming. All are so much more complex that that thing and even the facial tracking was poor in comparison . He had no hair physics or clothing movements, and they're not even the best by any means although still above average and doing well enough to live off it.
@@tabbi888 Okay? This is from 2007; your daughters have it much easier with modern technology.
@@tabbi888 dumb comment
@@tabbi888 Dude... did you really think this video was from the past decade? Seems like you just want to brag about your daughters.
Imagine starting an olive business near-enough to spain, a massive, MASSIVE consumer of olives, and then you go on national television and acuse all Spaniards of being scoundrels. What a proper knober. Poor Clarkson
I’m Portuguese, my country is one of the biggest olive and olive related products in the world and was baffled at this lady’s awfulness.
I’d rather go without olive oil- and virtually all Portuguese cuisine uses a lot of it- than buy ANYTHING from her.
The best thing that probably ever happened to him was her leaving him. Which is what really happened.
She is not even hot. Why would he go after her...
@@dontbedummy8101 Do you think Clarkson is hot?
@@dontbedummy8101 She's hotter than he is
I think the virtual puppet guys made a big mistake using a dodgy looking gremlin thing - whenever he's saying something earnestly, it's giving a side eye and looking devious lol. Should have picked a happy character with a pleasing colour.
Or an anime character. Seems like they're a good way to go these days.
shudda gone with a furrey - or a little pony
It's technology that already existed at the time and with far better implementation.
The "characters" costing £8000 is INSANE. Even somebody with a bit of experience in blender could've knocked up a better rag doll model for probably £100 freelance.
Agree, it reminded me of Nigel Farage.
To me the main issue is it just looked cheap and outdated. Like somehting you'd see on a budget computer game circa 2005.
The perfume idea is genius tbh. To sell a scent that can be attached to a huge name like Cleopatra with zero cost for the rights is huge, if I were this guy, I'd have pitched the idea to the big perfume brands, because they've got the marketing to make it desirable.
Or, pitch it to museums and historians, cause if he's reverse engineered the perfumes of historical events and people, that is something that needs to be considered extremely intelligent, and genius.
I found it actually quite interesting. To bad the company didn't survive
Genius failure, actually. Anyone can make up any story they want about Cleopatra and claim that they reverse engineered it. It's nonsense. Proven in the real world.
Operating in the industry, I can tell you that there are well established brands like 'Histoire de Parfums' who reside in the niche perfumery vertical. They produce products that are based on historical events, characters and so on. You also have other brands like Zoologist who produce fragrances based on the habitats of animals (!) - and to someone like myself who enjoys the transportative of perfume - these kinds of fragrances last longer, have more character and development in their DNA than the generic 'teen Axe body spray' vibes of Dior, Bulgari and so on.
@@monkeyhouse1672 I may not like perfume (Strong fragrances seem to give me trouble breathing) but the history behind such perfumes. I'm a huge history buff. (So is my family. Sometimes our movie nights are history documentaries.
If I was given a pound for everytime Theo mentioned his children's inheritance I'd be a millionaire
You’d have £37 by the time he left the show
How original.

Then i would be able to buy a Tesla with Cash.
@@janlassen6101 only a Tesla?
The olive lady downed a bottle and smoked a joint before getting off that elevator 😂
Nah, if she had smoked a decent joint I don't think she could have been that unpleasant and standoffish afterwards. Speaking from personal experience 😅
Booze or coke maybe?
😂
i think its jeremey clarkeson ex wife
Jeremy Clarkson was married to her for 6 months and she's spent the rest of her life hounding him for money and affection
Me watching The Big O lady walking up the stairs: Ah, a classic.....
You know it's a bad idea when Theo starts saying "You're not going to take my children's inheritance"
"i was using baby wipes on my sons bits and pieces 25 years ago" lol thanks for the shoutout mom, not embarrassing at all lol
Olive lady was hilarious.....the sort of person that goes to the airport and says at the desk 'do you know who I am?' and the front desk person asks her colleague 'this person has forgotten her name....lets help her'.
it was Jeremy Clarksons ex-wife!
@@lachmack8967
Was it really?
@@fourlamb1 yes
Jesus, if he didn’t want to put the cash into it or brand it himself then he must’ve had real faith in her ability or was him not fronting the cash up part of the reason to split or was it just her sparkling personality? 😂
@@gc7820 They split long before this happened. She left him after 6 months of marriage for his best friend. Then she claimed she was having an affair with him for many years while he was remarried. Anyway, this show happened post divorce.

The arrogant Olive selling hair flicker is always worth a second watch 😂
Yeah, it's always entertaining to watch an unpleasant pitcher go down in flames. Apart from the woman's obvious offensiveness, that hair-flicking tic is so off-putting!
She is Jeremy clarkson ex-wife
only trouble is everytime i watch her i get more and more infuriated.
@Hugomad2 buy she said her name is alex hall.
James Caan actually gave the virtual puppet guy a good idea...he should have given up trying to make more and instead used the one he already had for children's parties. Start up a business where he entertains kids with his virtual puppet. That would have been a really fun and unique experience for children back then. And he would have made the money he already put in back and then some.
Exactly!
There are many applications for it, but the thing is they should have known them
Exactly what I thought.
That idea died in the 90s with Gacy, I‘m afraid
It's so funny that the cartoon filter stayed apart of the pitch 🤣 catching his expressions in the background made my viewing experience so much better 😆. The only thing that could've topped that off is if they walked out, forgot it was on and the cartoon started having a tantrum and started cussing the dragons out 😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh man that would have been absolutely HILARIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao that would've been hilarious
😂😂😂
😂
A part not apart
It felt like the goblin was in court fighting for his very existence. Unfortunately for him, I believe, he only exists in the remnants of these Dragon's Den episodes. So long, Shrack!
I love Deborah for how even though she was extremely frustrated at the perfumist, she took care to say that she still thought he was competent in his subject and an honest man. She can be quite tough but never in a way like she's trying to cause a whole scene or needlessly hurt someone
Sadly, Scents of Time folded 5 years later.
_"The company suspended its internet sales in January 2012 and closed down at the end of April 2012, after donating all remaining stock to charitable organizations. It cited a weak worldwide economy and marketing competition from celebrity-endorsed fragrances._
Well you can say the scent is from the "Titanic or Cleopatra", but how can the customer know that for sure? Or care?

Wish the Kitchen Nightmares admin ran the Dragons Den channel.
Yes omg the titles would be epic!!😂
That puppet suit could have been a useful way of getting motion capture in areas outside the studios. Almost two decade's later we have gear like the Rokoko Smartsuit Pro II that lets you perform full body capture with no external sensor for $2700 right now. They sold the idea poorly and it was too expensive outside AA or AAA studios of the time.
They generally don't like investing in tech where there is no patent for the technology because the big players would have done it already. In any case, there must be developing in tech now that seems so far ahead of its time.
I was a producer in the games industry for 13 years. Video game companies, one of the largest markets for mocap, wouldn't want this. It doesn't have enough sensors for smooth, full facial movement (only the bare minimum for mobility and rudimentary lip sync), plus you can get a very good quality mocap suit that'll get you state of the art articulation for half of what they're asking.
Furthermore, they have to provide the virtual puppet, not you. No development studio would ever buy this system.
@@WobblesandBean yeah this was pre suits bruh.
@@WobblesandBean this was aired 07 but even then they had nocap suits so they would always go with that option
The virtual puppets is ahead of its own time but its more work to put in there to make any invrstor viable.
Big O woman turned up like she didnt want to be there, im sure no-one forced her, yet turns up in a stinker like the dragons are inconveniencing her, crazy
Yes. You can see why her and Jeremy Clarkson were once attracted to each other
@@oliprj8676 oh wow, i thought she looked familiar! cheers 4 the headsup
They don’t call him Theo the fetus for nothing. Always talking about his kids

27:00 the silence after that creepy joke was so cold and rigid you could lean your bike against it.

That Big O lady needs Rory out hunting for olives for her.
Olives, the seaweed of Spain.
You know you’ve watched too many of these when you understood these references
the Fellas dude should've also came up with a machine to sell them for 50p at night clubs
Much better idea
This guy threw himself into the fire, but he's also his own worst enemy.
@@canadajointops cos of the sweaty plums?
n...t wipes for men lol horrific idea
@@petertownley7296 Tell that to Dude Wipes.. Huge company.. lol. and got funding in Shark Tank I believe
The Big O should be called Angry Olives
Certainly not Spanish Olives 😂
I laughed when Deborah screamed 'oh, just give me one!' 😂
Scents of time was a really cool idea.
I would have bought it
“Goblin mode” is Oxford’s phrase of the year. I see why.
Great pick up there man I see you
The "Fellas" guy should have honed in on the fact that the wipes are individually wrapped....so when a guy goes out, he takes a couple of condoms, and a couple of "Fellas". He's then totally ready!
Yeah, I felt this was the key use case for them, but he was dancing around this, too shy to say "They are for having a reasonably clean dick before a drunken one-night-stand" when one of the dragon said he doesn't know what they're for.
@@drsnova7313 Yep. Been a couple of times when Fellas would have been appreciated lol
Exactly this! I feel like it was a good concept, but he pitched it wrong. He pushed the appeal of individual wipes to people who don't need individual wipes like truck drivers who can benefit from a pack (which he should also want to sell). Individual wipes to fit in your wallet for those unexpected encounters (or mishaps) would be a great selling point, and giving them a more appealing scent than a baby wipe is where you have the edge in the market.
I think the virtual character is a fun idea. But like many things that get proposed on this show, there is a difference between a fun small business idea, and what the Dragons think is worth investing thousands of pounds in.
very true. and the technology at the time was just too expensive. Online now lots of people use virtual characters for pretty much anything but its also because its pretty cheap to do. You can get a webcam and pay an artist anywhere from 30 up to a few hundred for some nice art (depending on the quality you want and movement).
plus VR totally replaced whatever get-up the guy he had on too. I wonder what the guy thinks of things like VR chat- where anyone at all can buy a decent headset for under a grand and have a model made of pretty much anything. Most VR headsets come with arm movement now too
He should have gone to Japan.
Vocaloid is absolutely huge, even back then. If he could license the technology to Vocaloid alone, he’d be rich.
@@Nocturnalux the problem with that is that vocaloid might have been big enough to do something like that without his help. so, yes they COULD have possibly paid him a lot. But i'm still skeptical that they would have.
I also have zero idea how the rigging works or if they own other models, but there's also the possibility that his equipment doesn't have a full body version, maybe it would have worked but at least most Vocaloid things i've seen have MIku's full body in it. what's the use in buying equipment that you'll have to spend a good chunk of money altering and changing if you can just use what already works.
the dude just suffered from a good idea done badly, i don't think there was a lot that could save it, not even Miku.
@@GwyndolinOwOdon't even need an vr at this point, you can do this with your smartphone face cam with ai now.
They shouldn't have sold it at 20 thousand pounds. They should have sold it at cost and then made their money through developing different characters. Or renting out some redeveloped characters.
Dude should try to get his “revived perfumes” in Ren fairs, cons, and such.
sadly his company went defunct in 2012
Wet wipes dude was gonna cry 😂
In my opinion the perfume guy actual made a good presentation. Pretty clear, direct and to the point. And all of the dragons had there nose in the air from the beginning. Believe he was treated a bit harshly and was scoffed at. I liked the idea and would be interested to see what they fragrances were like. Very cool.
In the end he secured two dragons and his investment which was good. Some of these people who think more scientifically it mathematically can struggle a little more with communicating - definitely not all, that's not a reflection of all science/maths boffins - but he got there in the end. I agree they he was onto something. I think it's fascinating to imagine the fragrance that Cleopatra wore or other historically significant fragrances. Hope he made it work.
I agree. Also side note. Dealt with Spanish suppliers before too and never had a good. Not saying all are that way but just my experience. Vietnam was way better
I think it worked out well because he wasn’t thinking big enough and the dragons weren’t quite listening actively to the dude cause he wasn’t charismatic lol
their*
@themug406 no I think ill levae it just like that. What are you an English teacher. This is the enternet dude not the classroom.
Ouch that puppet response was brutal
I felt a bit sorry for the guy; I hope he's doing ok for himself even if he is still selling puppets on the streets. But I have to agree with the Dragons that the motion-capture product was just a mildly amusing novelty with little business potential.
When Duncan told him to keep selling puppets in the street, that was the most brutal part in my opinion, but the idea was pretty bad so someone had to say it
That woman who slagged off the Spanish has to be the most horrible person I’ve ever seen on the Den 😂
She is Jeremy clarkson ex-wife
Really the Spanish aren't much
@@Hugomad2 I thought you were kidding but she actually is haha what

Whys that? She is divorced from Jeremy Clarkson so yes she must have been no saint but thats her private life
@@rickysmyth i can see why he divorced her.
@@AynOtori He divorced her because she left him for one of his friends six months into the marriage.

There should be some kind of warning similar that that of swearing where you can skip watching any video that contains Theo saying the words "my children's inheritance"
Hahaha I know what a smug horror he is
I’ll have his kids inheritance because I could do with a few million !
I am cracking up that they made the guy go behind the screen 😂😂😂
The way Duncan mocked Deborah in the most petty way at 51:03 had me in stitches. 🤣🤣
It's rubbish funny duncan
Lmao I didn't even notice

I guess to a guy who sells puppets for a living, he probably thinks “who WOULDNT want a puppet!”
Wef in davos would def buy puppets and the puppet master
@@grandexporter 100%
@@grandexporterconsider it a two-for-one deal 😂
I love the gent with the perfumery. It’s a niche market, but I’m totally into collecting vintage or antique perfumes and colognes.
That lady with the Olives seem to have all the things the Dragons look for, a unique product with patents in place, but she completely turned them off with her attitude and not answering direct questions.
Ik lol talk about self-sabotage 😂
Instead of selling the puppet product, they should rent it. Just use the one they have and either do events themselves and/or rent it out for events. And have more characters for free. That way, they don't have to spend 10k everytime they make it.
I thought this perfume idea was absolutely brilliant! And i do think he made a C+ performance, so fairly good actually.
The fellas wipes were explained terribly. It’s a perfect product to have one or two in your pocket bc you can’t take around the pack of baby wipes in a suit
This made me instantly think of dude wipes.
Same thing but they're for the U.S market, importable too
He should have presented an idea of additional products under this brand. Male cosmetic products are huge now
That perfume idea was GENIUS.
How? Getting patents on the fragrances?
I genuinely want a bespoke perfume!
Edit: Aaaaaand they went defunct in 2012. Damn.
I too think it was genius, the problem was it would've taken a HUGE marketing push from an established brand. He should've patented 10 major fragrances, then taken them to the big brands for them to sell.
@@WobblesandBean Went on the archived website. Really bizarre: For those who want to know how their fragrances smell, they give a list of other commercially available products to try.
Imagine Some new fast food joint going "Our new burger sort of tastes like a Whopper, so if you happen to be near a Burger King, try that one".
The Big O lady is in every compilation

I love love love the perfume idea. It seems like he unfortunately entered the den too early but I hope he was able to get it off the ground because I’d love to buy a bottle!!
Business failed 5 years later, and never made a significant amount of money sadly.
The “Bizzy Bits” thing is a neat idea, but for any construction toy to be successful it has to either be compatible with LEGO or have a massive collection of unique parts. The reason LEGO and LEGO compatible products sell so well is because they have that universal system, and startups with their own unique idea just can’t compete with that variety.
Man I feel awful for the guy that sold his house.
It's a shame really, I looked up on Amazon and Manscaped is selling individually wrapped ball wipes.
Virtual puppets came 15 years before metaverse. Wow.
And those iphone avatars
Yes, but they only became popular when they were free for everyone to use, not when they cost 28k.
Fellas did not leave with nothing.
He left with some wisdom. 😁
I doubt he absorbed their advice
@@MIS315 Company folded in 2015.
@@AH-te5gs Did it though? I did a google and it said they turned over $25 million this year, I thought that sounded off the mark though
Theo & Peter went on that perfume journey for fun to be honest, they knew it was doomed.
Richard Farleigh could have played James Bond.
Whilst that virtual puppet idea would have become redundant within a few years of this pitch due to AI being able to do the same thing, I'm sure the novelty could have made a little money. But they needed a hiring model rather than a sales model. I think many businesses would have been open to spending 1500 for a one day hire. They would need to have a decent number of characters programmed that gives the businesses options to choose from. Most businesses don't have a character mascot of their own and wouldn't need a custom made one.
I think that was their point too. They wanted to charge 20.000 + 8.000 for it to get some profit. Dragons said, that is just not fisable.
very good point
T
Great observation - they just needed a hiring business model, rather than buying, to be plausible.
While working for the company then the contract means they own it all, but not copyright so can be copied by anyone (from orig) but he cant do it due to contract.
Duncan: "When I buy a perfume for my lady I buy one I like."
Not one his lady likes then?
The green character talking along all through the pitch was funny
Duncan said Bizzy Bitz was just bits of plastic, well the same could be said about Lego and they're hugely successful -_-
The Fellas guy had no idea how to pitch that. I felt bad for him. It's not a bad idea and is a legit market segment.
That first one reminded me of that one episode of Black Mirror.
Came here for this comment. I agree!
Lol yup. "Waldo". That's the EXACT contraption that guy used in the episode 🤣
The Big O lady was married to Jeremy Clarkson. All businesses she set up have all been dissolved
We needed a flow light to guide us through this mess

Ill listen to you Derrick
I would like to see the year each clip was released. Gives it more perspective.
7:14 the sad face on the puppet haha
Glad someone else noticed 😂
The most important part of a pitch is know your numbers ( sales , customer count and average sales)
Peter is a giant! @25:00 how he just towers over the other two guys lol
Peter is 6’ 7”!! 😱
Honestly I could see the perfume one being really popular among history buffs.. I kind of what to see if I could get one 😅
Fellas dissolved in 2015 if anyone's interested

On the virtual puppet bit, I’m surprised they never mentioned anything about the video game companies
The bizzy bits couple have been doing way too much acid 😂😂😂
Theo the Fetus is always thinking of his children's inheritance
The price point of virtual puppet was a little crazy, but with the way V-tubing has picked up traction recently, I can't help but feel like it may have been a missed opportunity.
they would have killed for it
This pitch was made when TH-cam was just entering the mainstream and its most-viewed video was The Evolution of Dance (two years before Charlie Bit My Finger overtook it). Livestreaming was a few years from even beginning to bubble, and V-tubers were almost a decade away. There's no way anyone could have broadcast that puppet thing live. Also not sure they'd want to be strapped up to that thing whilst streaming for hours everyday.
was this aired in 2007? @@ericforsyth
They didn't seem to have an issue with the concept, the problem was that the proposal had the concept but no business plan. Seriously, no market research, no detailed plan for who's going to buy it, no concept of how to run a business, just straight up "here's this gimmick, it might make money". He should've spent more time on his own, marketing it to people, trying to devise use cases, got some sales and use cases before going onto the den.
How many V Tubers can afford 28k on a puppet? The dragons said they liked it but the market was too small and the price was too high (and, indeed, this technology only became popular among streamers once it became available to everyone for free, which again would have killed this business)
I only watch this for the dumb entrepreneurs, the poor products, the demoralizing roasts from the dragons, and the sadness of the exits
Additional fun in identifying potential serial killers. You know who you are.
Fun Fact - The BIG O Lady is Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gears ex wife

The virtual puppet is genuine muppet. What a ridiculous idea 😂😂
Are you saying mocap is a terrible idea !!!
@HughSmith yes I am. I brilliant idea doesn't have hundreds of other companies doing the same principle but in a better, easier way. Why do you think the guy that owns majority didn't turn up....cos he new the response lol
@@arakkaramoon586 when this show aired the mocap was being done very badly at the cost of $100ks. it's a dumb idea NOW but back then it was worth a look. The dragons don't invest in anything that they don't understand ( good general advice) but they did not need to humiliate the guy
Once they have to take a deep breath and try to remember a pitch Duncan’s face is always the same, he smirks and then blows out his cheeks 😂 he may aswell not be here 😂
To be fair he also was the one to directly confront the olive woman about her racism lol. I feel like you're very much reducing the entirety of his contribution to a few moments.

The Puppet thing would sell in Japan. Tweak it some, and even with the bulky suit, if they could get it licensed to anime specific events and even better, to Vocaloid-like types, it’d be a huge hit.
These days I’m sure it can be done without the suit but if they had taken it to Japan at the time, I can see it becoming huge.
Goi look elswhere on TH-cam - search for Shinjuku 3D advertising board.....that puppet thing is pathetic
@@paulfranklin8636 Again, this was a long time ago. It wouldn’t sell now but back then? It might very well have.
I was also thinking to market that one to theaters and film schools and stuff. Like the genie from Aladdin. The performer was great, but it was weird just being a normal guy caked in blue makeup. Or the Wizard of Oz, he was clearly animated, voiced, and made to work on stage by all different people. No chemistry at all. I think he was the director's first CGI pancake.
David used all the money he made selling puppets to build that exo skeleton.
So you buy the puppet for £20k to use at a party or reception, but then you'd need to employ someone to operate it surely?
The same person you employ could have simply been an actual receptionist or child's entertainer and thus making the puppet redundant no?
In my opinion, it wouldn't be redundant. For kids the novelty is speaking to and interacting with a cartoon. At the time when this was filmed we had children's party entertainers but this cartoon technology was unheard of and kids would've loved it. In fact, I think even today it would be quite profitable, but even more so back then.
I'm certain the right market would've been zoos and museums for children's educational tours.
Dragons Den producers: We need a narrator to tell the audience what is happening during each pitch.
Me: 5:56
imagine if the Goblin guy asked to come out they were like "no stay there", "can I turn the voice off?" "no keep it on"
Alex's sighs through the start of her pitch kill me every time. 😂
The Fellas wipes guy Colin was years too early but spot on. Dude Wipes are wipes marketed for men and were recently valued at over $300 million
The puppets could have been used in Westminster to make a better impression than the real chaps.
the puppeteer: nobody else can make this set up.
samsung, google, apple, microsoft, sony: hold our beers.
They did a great work and product
And technical
'Busy Bits' I saw a video in the 90s called that. It wasn't about fake lego.
