I'm surprised that none of the Dragon's echoed my first concern upon seeing the product; if you have kids, then is it a good idea to put a ball with a friendly face in a toilet bowl? What do kids do with a ball? They play with it. I can easily imagine an infant reaching into the toilet bowl to retrieve the fun looking bacteria ball and then playing with it, potentially even putting it in their mouth (or at the very least, putting the ball back in the bowl and then touching their mouths without washing their hands first). It seems like a potential health and saftey risk to me.
Yeah, I don't get it. Obvious health risk of kids grabbing it and potentially choking on it, or at least making a mess. Maybe the worst product I've ever heard of from a thoroughly decent, well-intentioned inventor.
I trained as a primary school teacher for a couple of years 20 years ago now. We were told to put ping pong balls in the bog with hexagons drawn on them so they looked like footballs, then told them to aim for the footballs. Worked like a treat.
I agree with Peter - this guy is super likeable and competent, I just wish he had a better product. I keep thinking about a kid taking a crap on that little ball and touching it because it looks friendly, which would be a huge deterrent to me if I was a parent.
This reminds me of an episode of "Better Call Saul" where the guy made a toilet that said "Ooo, you're such a big boy" and other dumb stuff. Blood hilarious. I must go back and watch that again
6:55 very subtle "Dad joke" from Theo, but all kidding aside there is something unsettling about a little blue emoji face leering up with a frozen expression of unbridled joy... from the bog
Try sitting down when you pee. Then you don't need to aim. That is how I was toilet trained 50 years ago. When water hits water, it splashes and tiny urine droplets go everywhere. If you insist on standing to pee, get a urinal installed.
I'm a 38 year old man and I still sit down to pee. I don't see the need to stand up to do so. As you say; it's a lot less messy if you sit down. The expectation that a man ought to stand to pee always seemed to be some kind of macho nonsense to me.
Also much neater to just pee in the bathroom sink, it's the perfect urinal height for some blokes. You save water too, cuz as you wash your hands you're effectively 'flushing' the sink. 😉
When Peter stood up, I half expected him to whip it out and give it a test run lol entrepreneur: "right on then would any of you like to give it a go??"

this is the most cursed product I've seen pitched so far in my viewing of Dragon's Den and the worst part is I know its probably not most cursed pitch recorded to date
LMAO @ 'why have they only reordered 1000?' I'd be like: 1) byatch, you previously invested in this show in businesses that never had any sales to their name, at least I've made an effort and secured some trial deals and some sales! 2) I am only representing my company in these negotiations, I've no authority to act as a decision maker for boots, am I?
If anyone doesn’t know what I’m on about watch “Better Call Saul” on Netflix. “Breaking Bad” spin off that defied all expectations. In some respects it surpasses the original series in my opinion. A bit like “Frasier” did with “Cheers”. Jesus I seem to have wondered into an “unrelated rabbit hole here...!” 🤣
Your saying that an infant boy will stand and pee in the bowl and have fun peeing on the toy, but last time i checked they normally sit to pee till about the age of 12 Generally cant believe how far this man already went with all his sales, its impressive how he actually got superdrugs and boots to buy this
Duncan finally finished his training last week and the question made him roll his eyes as he flashed back through decades of mental trauma endured in learning the correct techniques required without the use of flotation aids.
I think they were a bit harsh on the product as I think it's a pretty good idea. He was asking for far to much money though for a business with one product. Also, I think that the bar and club market would be interesting to explore with this. Trying to encourage drunk people to actually aim in the toilet 😂
Duncan with one of the most on-point eyerolls in human history
The thumbnail of his eye roll was totally the reason I clicked on this vid 🤣
fo real, y lie! LoL
I dont get why he does it, can u tell me?
The eye rolling is on point for real.
@@RsAirmax I think he thought the guy meant if any of the dragons were learning to go to toilet but he meant are they training kids.
Duncan rolled his eyes so hard I think the earth reversed its poles damn xD

Exactly. I do not understand how a kid would look at that ball then proceed to use the toilet properly rather than eating it 🤣
I know, its so gross!
Your kids shouldn't really be left unsupervised around the bathroom anyways, it's just too dangerous.
I agree with your namesake.
Very gross indeed. How do you get the ball out? Sticking your hands in the toilet. I'm vomiting in my mouth just thinking about it
The amount he sold is insane considering the product

kid grows up dumpin' on a blue smiley, sees a yellow one on hers/his smartphone and says "you know what?..." well the rest is history

What straight aim guy ! 🤣🤣🤣 really presents well 😇
the next product he developed was a clown ball that has a proximity sensor and if a poop touches it, it does say "Hi o Georgie!"
🤣🤣
5:54 wow Deborah looks so beautiful in this shot!
When James asked him what would he offer, if he’d have said 50% he would have got it. Greed lost him the investment.
I reckon he'd have even gone for 40%. At the very least it would have proven that he saw a similar valuation to James's proposal
I thought James would have said 50% in the counter offer. In the end... he was asking for way too much money for his product lol
He actually dodged a bullet not getting investment by James Caan, believe it
Almost all the child orientated pitches in the Den have been solving a problem that I never knew existed.
So do you just flush this thing down the toilet when your kid is done or do you fish it out? I don't get it?
It floats.
The way he shutdown Debra was amazing. But the product was just a bit too unusual

He slayed those figures !
That eye roll of a thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
Can we just have 0:43 as its own reaction video?
Bit creepy the little face bobbing around the toilet all wide eyed mouth open asking to be pissed on.
he was so lovely
Nice pitch

What happens when a kid poops are you supposed to fish out a contaminated ball or do you flush it and it just doesnt flush?
No idea. Would imagine it to be flushable so it would be a repeat business
it wont flush it floats
What happens to the ball when you flush????
At the end, none of the dragons "made it rain" for the entre-peepee-neur
Thats gotta be the best thumbnail so far lol
Eesh, I felt that eye roll. Damn!
He could have asked for half as equity stake and the other half as a line of credit or loan.
What r u supposed to do with it when no.2s happen? Pick it out of the bowl with your fingers?
Ouch...made a error right at the end ..if had suggested 50/50 instead of 30/70 could of agreed first then begged question of a buyback if targets met
Help them to engage with going to the toilet?
I think the urge to piss is motivation enough to want to piss.

hahaha yea

Why is this even worthwhile? Why do they not talk about patents ?
The world needs more plastic . ?We all managed without this . God help us crazy

'golden' opportunity 😅
a ping pong ball with Deborahs face on it should work also
Ha!

OMG no! Something you put in the toilet and have to fish back out? No thanks...
To many adverts don't bother
With that product 'ur in' deep trouble with the dragons. Okay I'm done...
Haha nice one!

Does it go away when you flush? That would be a serious problem, environmentally.

That's not what I come to dragon's den for.
Amazing presentation and fantastic character
He looked a little flushed.
What if you have pets that like to search for and fetch a damn ball?!
A pretty decent lad. Only problem was he asked for too much money. Maybe @ £100k he would have gotten a deal.
60k was good
That wasnt the only problem w
But... What if you accidentally flush it?
That's what I was wondering
It doesn't flush
Not terribly bright...
@@iz723 Explain. Is it just too big to fit down the pipes? Because I don't know how small UK pipes are but that would go down my pipes easy.
Was it really that incredible of a pitch? I mean, it certainly wasn't bad but I didn't feel he blew them out of the water...
we only see about 10% of the entire pitch
He should have offered 25%for £100 000 to Khan, priced way to high for where the business was at that time. Amateur move on the pitcher's part.

"and if not you, what about your children?"
There are two ways to interpret that, one of which is really insulting
