Who doesn't go to Montmatre to have a caricature done?! I was there about 6 years ago and couldn't walk 5 yards without being accosted by a Looky Looky Man selling selfie sticks.
"It's the 5% that aren't happy that will kill you." So he's not investing unless there's a 100% customer satisfaction? 95% customer satisfaction is really good. Felt like he was just looking for reasons to opt out. xD
I feel he means the 5 percent not happy will make them redo the whole sketch again and again and again and maybe provide bad feedback because maybe there is extra charges after several redraft. Kind of issue that makes him say 5 percent will drive you mad
I love how kind this guys 'caricatures' are of the Dragons. I mean take a look at Kelly's face. Then take a look at the caricature. Then tell me where he went wrong.
Maybe not in the final cut but don’t forget we only see a small amount of the total presentations. He may have been wittering away for 15 minutes on each question.
He was talking too much, hardly even taking a second to breathe. It's counterintuitive to talk excessively in the den as there are tons of numbers and essential details to focus on.
Oh most definitely. The millionaire dragons were jealous of the penniless actor because all charismatic older people are just jealous of their younger and poorer counterparts.
I thought the drawings looked great. He's only got so much time to talk, why are they moaning about that for? He did a great job explaining the concept.
Not only that this was edited down this orginally 45mins to 1 hour pitch. So for them to tell him his full on in an short 10min with editing. He is so full on.
Liked the idea and his enthusiasm. Sometimes they are just uninterested. Pretty sure that his business will keep going and grow, slowly but surely online. I'll order one for myself, brillant idea
These dragons have no clue about what they're talking. In 2020, personalized art has TAKEN OVER the gift industry. In simply last two years we've seen companies like The Night Sky, Urelas and Cartoonish that have created MULTI-MILLION dollar businesses around personalized art gifts. Heck Etsy's whole $6.8B business revolves around personalized gifts. This guy was way too ahead of his time. If this came out in 2020, this would have rocked the stage.
@@aminboumerdassi2334 Yep. That's why I said this guy was way ahead of his time. However, they had a chance to take a pie of this industry and they blew it. And so did Charlie, he now only focuses on his acting career rather than this, dude missed the train, even tho he was the first one to be standing at the platform.
They saw a guy with his heart open and thought “Let’s teach him to close his heart up and be just like us.” It was probably very gratifying for them to see him suffer. They would do 8 seasons a year if it meant they could tear into people who chose art instead of miserly, cold, competition. They’ll change on their deathbeds if they’re lucky. And by then it will have been too late.
I got an amazing caricature in Malaysia. A guy did it for super cheap at the aquarium. I'm a wheelchair user, and I loved how he drew my husband carrying me instead of the chair (he did chexk first if this was ok as some may prefer the chair being in it). It is still our favourite thing we've ever bought as a couple on a holiday, and our favourite thing on our walls. Thank you random artist in KL. Hope you're doing well!
95% customer satisfaction will kill a business? Guess he hasn't heard of Amazon or Walmart. Not to mention, he weren't even talking about the final product but about the intial draft of the cartoon. LOL
When I was like 6 years old I'd see Dragon's Den on the tv guide, turn it on then be really disappointed when I saw that it wasn't a show about real dragons.
Not sure. This kind of thing is trend driven and the trendsetters are a really fickle bunch. Potentially only a matter of time before he saturates the market and they move on to the next big thing. Great business for Charlie but will it really produce the kind of money that he suggests over the length of time he thinks it will?
I personally think this guy is alright, honestly don’t see what their fuss is about. Can’t knock a man for being enthusiastic about his product or business, at least that shows he’s passionate and wants to succeed. And I don’t think the value he put on his business is unrealistic either.
They complain when not given enough information, moan about people having no commitment or passion, then are utterly rude to this guy who is trying so hard to succeed.
I notice that Peter often wait for everyone else to declare themselves out before he responds. Very smart strategy, because then he gets tocset the terms as he wants.
This is crazy, I was watching an episode of Peaky Blinders (season 5 I think) and I saw a guy in the background in a scene with Churchill, and I thought “that looks like the caricature guy from DD”, and I looked it up and it is him! 😅 fair play
This guy was a gentleman all the way, dragons just couldn't swallow the fact that they couldn't find a mistake on his pitch. Talking about business is one thing, insulting a guy is another thing, Duncan and peter was the only person who didn't attack his personality.
@@RetroVisionist yeah, I wouldn’t invest in the business either... But the dragon was attacking him with baseless logic whereas they could've just said no... There was no need of insult here
Reading through the comments I’m finding that more and more people watch these videos whilst they’re eating, like I do! I avoid watching videos until I’m hungry so I can watch it whilst I eat. This is a really weird phenomenon that lots of people do this!
Caricaturists, more often than not, are sole traders, freelancers taking small commissions or drawing live at parties. The dragons are right, it isn't scalable, the talent pool is microscopic and the skill level of the artists vary wildly, between amazing and *barely able to draw*, don't quit your day job.
His business was more of a service than a product. With a product, you can just manufacture thousands and get them out on the market but with a service, it is more personalised and requires more attention. That was the main reason why the dragon's didn't invest.
Goodness, the dragons were absolutely ghastly to this guy. He had a much better pitch than most people who come on the show, was specific about how he wanted to reach his target market, and had a vibrant, youthful energy about him. Plus his artistry was way better than the average caricaturists on the street. Usually i agree with the dragons, but here they were very rude and impatient.
I think sometimes dragons shoot people down too much, like they dont know how nervous or how many nights the person has been up at night sweating about entering the Den..then you go in there n they just shoot you left right centre
Yeah I totally agree, and I’ve personally met that type of personality in real life. It’s so aggravating. It’s perfectly possible to give constructive criticism and to say ‘no’ without being nasty
I like it, I like his idea. My gf would love it, just doing one with all our memories together with a humorous twist to it. I think it’s a great gift to give to someone.
Having been in this business for over 30 years and dealing with graphic artists and cartoonists of all levels, who says his work or his style is great? Everyone has to love his style absolutely. This is how most artists propose - gun runner approach. It is only scalable if his work is the level that of a Master Artist. The Dragons weren’t rude, they were practical. He’s living in a bubble and doesn’t know the limits of the appeal of his work. I personally know three artist/cartoonists who are miles better. Peter was absolutely sincere and polite in his rejection of the business. They were all spot on.
Bother I wanted to get one for my husband's birthday but their website says they've "put their pens down" - I liked the idea but suspect there would not have been sufficient return business.
Only Duncan could laugh at his own caricature. The rest of em couldn't resist the immediate urge to get back at the guy. Tragic how seriously these people take themselves. Kelly even started talking about how she personally didn't like caricatures - as if that was verification that there couldn't be demand from other people. Charlie was one of the most articulate presenters I've seen on the show - unfortunately his audience was too egotistical.
This maybe slightly different but I got a Chinese artist to draw a beautiful charcoal portrait of my late father and that was framed for $85 AUD, this guy wants £140? That's like $280.😲

@@thedunyadoneya2628 Easy there sport...I admire anyone with the bollocks to start a business, I wuz just pointing out that there's no profit margin. He looks like a very intelligent chap, he will definitely succeed in one of his endeavours, it's just a matter of time. Now I'm off to drink whiskey and fart. Cheerio!
As an artist I can say that few people ever like their own caricature, especially women, because it's a piss-take of sorts, that's why these dragons were not entirely impressed even after the artist was clearly told to be very kind. These particular ones are the kind of thing a bunch of people chip in for as a gift on a special occasion but I personally would never consider it an investable business. Good on him for giving it a go though.
I can't remember if London has changed more than I can remember since this aired, but you certainly can't find a line of freewilling ready carcaturist ready to give you a live portrait down bloody Bayswater road.
They were being SO mean to him! I respect him for not showing even the slightest bit of irritation towards them. Also, I do think there is a market for this product - however it wouldn't be the average middle class person but rich people. Rich people will pay for anything that even slightly amuses them - this would make a great gift for someone. I support you Charlie Anderson.
I think they're £50 or so too expensive but apart from that I really like the idea. They are created rather quickly, it's fun, it's unique and interesting and I would probs buy one
I prefer these 10-15 minute clips to watching the full show, as there's no "COMING UP on tonight's show" and "Remember what we already saw 10 minutes ago" segments.
Complaining that a caricature doesn't look like you is a moot point. They're literally caricatures, they're only meant to resemble you not look exactly like you.
The real hero here, is the person making the thumbnail for dragons den on RUclips.
Laughed so hard at that! 😂
The thumbnail guy always makes one of them look like they are on crack
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Agreed, so true :)
Peter looked like he was fuming
Kelly talking like going to France is outside our doorstep
Who doesn't go to Montmatre to have a caricature done?!

Brexit anyone?
Depends where you live. If you live in Folkestone then you can be in Paris faster than you can be in Birmingham.
Paris to London - 2h30 on Eurostar. Paris is closer to London than Bordeaux, Brest, Toulouse or Marseille.
He made some of them look better in their caricatures than they do in person. He was alot kinder to them than they were to him.
Did you even see Duncan? 🤭😂
"It's the 5% that aren't happy that will kill you."

Bare in mind what happens there and what we see aren’t a true reflection of each other. The video is edited down to fit within airtime.

It's possible they cut out a lot of him being longwinded

He looks like a very intelligent chap, he will definitely succeed in one of his endeavours, it's just a matter of time. Now I'm off to drink whiskey and fart. Cheerio!
@@End_Domestic_Violence the comment was to the OP, and a sarky reply to him using "execute". Nvm, we can't all be blessed with my quick wit.
As an artist I can say that few people ever like their own caricature, especially women, because it's a piss-take of sorts, that's why these dragons were not entirely impressed even after the artist was clearly told to be very kind. These particular ones are the kind of thing a bunch of people chip in for as a gift on a special occasion but I personally would never consider it an investable business. Good on him for giving it a go though.
Barbara: I am just here for the free caricature and for that reason, I'm out
I think Charlie's been taking his name a bit too seriously (allegedly).
This guy was very talented 👏
Kelly is so right about mont martre, they draw you in 5 minutes or less and its more of an event. You do need to be there of course..
The ladies were checking him out
I can't remember if London has changed more than I can remember since this aired, but you certainly can't find a line of freewilling ready carcaturist ready to give you a live portrait down bloody Bayswater road.
They were being SO mean to him! I respect him for not showing even the slightest bit of irritation towards them. Also, I do think there is a market for this product - however it wouldn't be the average middle class person but rich people. Rich people will pay for anything that even slightly amuses them - this would make a great gift for someone. I support you Charlie Anderson.
Loved him in Downton Abbey as the AH son.
I hate the ads that come on before the clip, I sing when they play so I can't hear them 😡
I think they're £50 or so too expensive but apart from that I really like the idea. They are created rather quickly, it's fun, it's unique and interesting and I would probs buy one
I've just checked him out in Downtown Abbey. Brilliant!

5:43 Deborah desperately looking for a word other than "bullshit"
This guy is good looking and charismatic.
Long face and long nose
I'm assuming he talked more then what was aired. He seemed well presented in his pitch and response to questions
This guy tried to do a caricature of Jenny but had to bin it because he kept colouring out of the lines.
Jenny is not in this episode
@@oliprj8676 yeah, we know. she's out
He drew Jenny's caricature but then it left and went out.
@@williamgeorgefraser zzzzzzz
@@frozenwintershitty zzzzzzz
He's too smart for the dragon to devour based on the way he talks XD
Best pitch I've ever heard 👌🏾
I prefer these 10-15 minute clips to watching the full show, as there's no "COMING UP on tonight's show" and "Remember what we already saw 10 minutes ago" segments.
Complaining that a caricature doesn't look like you is a moot point. They're literally caricatures, they're only meant to resemble you not look exactly like you.
They're supposed to exaggerate a look that's already there, not make smaller a nose or look wildly different like Peter's.
