Shark Tank C/D

I don't watch TV and then I watch a dozen episodes of Shark Tank.

I always like the impassioned last ditch pleas

"It tested really well amongst folks ages 23-25..."

dragons den is a much better name

My favorite thing on all of television is when Kevin o Leary goes into one of his illuminati billionaire story tangents

Yeah I wondered why they called it Shark Tank here.

I'm so ashamed that I find Mark Cuban so likeable (and frankly, fuckable) on the show and then I remember he's an Ayn Rand-loving libertarian and my crush quickly dissipates

Had no idea this started in Canada!

My parents like it. So it's horrible.

Probably the most addictive thing on television. I cant stop watching even though i want to. O Leary ethered a chick last nite who has some sort of counseling website. It was harsh.

I find myself getting ia at the sharks. They excoriate someone for listening to other offers, then they'll turn around and shit on someone for not listening to other offers.

The best parts, though, are when all the sharks simultaneously blow a gasket and accuse the entrepreneur(s) of "playing dirty" -- no, they're just screwing you like you've spent your careers screwing others, but you can't wrap your head around being outsmarted/outmaneuvered.

Fuck, I really need to stop watching this.

So many of the products are just awful home shopping network shit that it gets boring - because, really, if you have an amazing idea you're probably not taking it on air to sell for a tiny bit of money to these assholes.

i like this show, i can pretend i'm learning about how to start up a business

but yes it is ridiculous and i am not learning anything

I now work in an office that subscribes to monthly delivery of what I call Shark Tank Snacks: lots of weird little popcorns and spiced chickpeas and seeds and such, only some of them good.

This show is a joke.

A friend of mine was INVITED ON to the show to pitch his product which was doing well regionally. Three of the investors made him offers and he eventually decided on Cuban...

And then after the show, the producer team told my friend that Cuban was out and they just wanted to give my friend's product some exposure. Lol.

It's not, dragons live in lairs, lions live in dens, why is the dragon living in the lion's house?

Most of the food they sell in Winners is Shark Tank Snacks.

I assume when watching it that whatever you see on the show is only part of the story. There's no way investors would actually make snap decisions based on so little information, without actually reviewing books, etc.

The only shark tank product where I've seen it on the show and then subsequently in the wild was Table 87 pizza. It's this extremely unappealingly packaged, paltry looking and expensive brick oven pizza (or single pizza slice) that's basically just shrink wrapped in clear plastic and hangs from a hook in the supermarket freezer. IDG who would buy this stuff, if I'm going to spend that much on pizza I'd rather just sit in a restaurant, get it fresh out of the oven and enjoy the experience.
