Worst Shark Tank EVER
 

Disclaimer: I LOVE Shark Tank. LOVE IT. Total addiction. But I just saw the biggest piece of Internet bullshit I have ever seen. We, as Adult webmasters, who wonder what the heck "mainstream" really is all about, this episode of Shark Tank proves exactly what it is:

BULLSHIT.

Guy comes in, does a little dance, and is seeking 10K for 25% of his "company" (meaning he thinks it's worth 40K). What's his "company"? I Want To Draw A Cat For You. People write in to his website, describe the kind of cat they want drawn, and this fucktard sits down at his kitchen table every night and scratches out a stick figure cat drawing. He sells them for $9.99 and has sold about a thousand of them over a year's time.

So guess what happens? Mark Cuban offers him 25K - or 2.5 times what the shmuck is seeking - for 33% of his "company". Dude accepts (duh) and he and Cuban do a little cat dance together.

The cat drawing dude made a couple hundred a week doing this bullshit and now he has a business worthy of being on Shark Tank? Look for The Porn Nerd on there soon, pitching the sharks on his wild-ass outsourced 'profit margins' and the 'scaleability' of his growing Internet media network.

Someone please shoot me. :helpme

:ak47::ak47::ak47::ak47::ak47::ak47::ak47::ak47:

Jelly cause you can't draw teh kitteh?

Guess he can still scale it, low skill and just fraudulently claim all the drawings are his.

I remember that. If you do a search for him you will see that in addition to roughly 10,000 orders for cat drawings he and Mark have launched 7 new businesses all that started witht he cat drawing. Not too shabby.

yeah i saw that one. shit blew my mind. I honestly think the producers put the occasional random shit in front of them for publicity. In Mark Cubans case 40k is like me throwing a nickel into fountain. If the wish comes true... fuck yeah. If not... oh well I have millions of nickels.

Wow. What a country is all I can say. Now I REALLY want someone to shoot me. LOL

Here I just drew this:

Pay me.

it seems half the time they invest in the business just because they feel sorry for the entrepreneur...

I will buy a drawing* of your penis for ~$3.50


*hand drawn on paper

Similar to American Idol with their ridiculous auditions, the producers of Shark Tank throw in crazy stuff to mix things up and keep the show interesting. It's TV.

It has blown up - Shark Tank Success Stories: IWantToDrawACatForYou.com

Cuban is smart. Products that are on that show blow up. He did 9k with zero press. I'm sure Cuban will make money on his investment

Smoke some of the good stuff and do a Siamese kitty for us.

fucking cats

Can you make more money drawing dogs?

People love shit like that. Custom cat pictures from a (now) popular fun and goofy person. The guy who did TheOnion is a multi millionaire now from shitty drawings of cats/animal/people.
Love his story, lost his job, had nothing, now he built a brand out of fun and silliness.
Plus getting on Shark Tank means it will be in front of millions of people who, i bet 2% of them will buy a cat picture and 5% will post about it on social media.

I just watched the shark tank with the original patent holders of guitar hero. The sharks kicked them out and I was like... wtf. Sometimes they are just arrogant and really, really stingy.

i could draw the cats poo?

I guess Shark Tank is the US version of Dragon's Den?

fuck cats

Never seen a bad Shark Tank episode ...

Entire bad episode? No. Terrible segment? Yes. LOL

Drawing cats = success = The Porn Nerd = crying.

Oh the humanity! Or, the catmanity!!

PS: I want to marry and spank (not in that order) Lori Grenier. LOL

I'm someone who doesn't know to make money , so I see it almost as science fiction.

I don't watch TV so I have no idea what's happening here ;P

oh...I've read: Worst Star Trek EVER

anybody said fart tank?

The dude done an AMA recently on reddit, quite interesting. IamA terrible artist who has sold 18,794 pieces of original art. AMA! : IAmA

Why would a guy come in for 10k but be offered 25k???
The extra 15k is for the additional 8%?

Sounds like Dragons Den but that shit would never happen.

hehehe lol! :thumbsup :1orglaugh

That didn't make sense to me either. Guy valued his company at 40k but Cuban values the company at 75k and over pays.

Actually, the drawings aren't bad.

This is what I am saying (and what drove me to create this thread). If Cuban is THAT easily entertained then I've got some porn to sell him.

Hey Mark - $200,000 for 2% of my company. You in?

:GFYBand

i tried to buy from some people on there pure assholes.

Meow meow meow

OK now JEFF FOXWORTHY is a Guest Shark on tonight's show.

WTF MAN SERIOUSLY????? JEFF FOXWORTHY???

Shoot me, roll me in pig fat and grill my stunned ass. PLEASE.

OK Foxworthy is quite good, and he is definitely a smart fellow.

Man, I am dumber than Jeff Foxworthy. LOL

I am not sure how stocks works in US, but in some countries there are few thresholds, for example 10%, 30%. That means that you can have MUCH more "power' (for example in requesting documents or other stuff) if you hold 11% instead of 9% or if you hold 31% instead of 29%.
maybe that was the case here - 33% gives you more of something else on top of those extra 8%.

Jeff Foxworthy has built an empire on his "redneck" routine. He has helped several others build empires as well. He is no fool.

Sometimes you don't need to make a deal on shark tank all you need is exposure..I did see this pitch ehh it is what it is.

Haven't seen this episode but Shark Tank is one of my favorite shows. Must be more to the deal!

Agreed. The story I heard is Foxworthy wanted a career in standup comedy but he was working for IBM. He's a coder by trade, or something tech. Anyway he saved his pennies and gave himself X number of years to make it (like 5). I think Ray Romano did something similar.

Foxworthy has also done great stuff with kids (charities, books, tv shows). Much respect for him. Just a bit of a shock to see him on Shark Tank, that's all. :)

Thanks for the link!

Crazy that the guy got a chance like that, had six figures rolling in, and decided he should just screw Mark Cuban because it was a lot of work.

It's happened before on Dragon's Den too.

Has it? Didn't know.

Most certainly has ... look up a product called Magnamole (I think) ....

How did he screw Cuban? I'm assuming not in a good way. LOL

Or maybe simply the guy was ready to give up only 25% and did not need extra cash that much, so MC had to sweeten the deal by offering more per share in order to get 33% instead of 25%.

Just a thought without seeing the episode. Maybe they could elaborate on things like that.

do you remember those stone pets from years ago.

You must be watching the repeats on CNBC. Those are some old episodes that you are talking about with Jeff Foxworthy and the I Want To Draw A Cat For You guy. I love Shark Tank too. I'm assuming you are watching the new eps on ABC as well?

Dragons Den UK is airing episodes of their twelfth season right now as is the Canadian version of Dragons Den in their ninth season. I catch those online through my VPN on the BBC and CBC web sites. They even started up a Shark Tank Australia edition a few weeks ago that is also pretty entertaining. I'm not sure if the Irish version of Dragons Den is coming back for a seventh season however.

Jeff Foxworthy was a regular on Shark Tank years ago.
