Not being funny but more might subscribe if you'd put the air-dates of each show in the description.
It's something which gets requested multiple times each video and every video it's either someone requesting it be added or someone giving the year it was aired that are invariably the most liked comments. Every. Single. Video. Uploaded. If it's so obvious that a simple request is being ignored then, well... speaking of likes- your pinned comment asking for subscribers has literally zero after a month. Seems like people are trying to make a point...
whoever runs this account, could you start putting the year that the show originally showed! it gives a lot of context to the market and products being showed!
Yes I totally agree
Every video has this suggestion. It's so obvious and helps the viewer. Find it so odd they don't just do it. Would love to know the reason they don't!
People have been asking this forever and it's never been done.
A true DD aficionado can tell the year from the line-up.
Can't you tell from the dragons? Hilary must be only a few years ago
The best part was the combat chop.
Best for what?
@@sbaxter4207... the video
I thought he was autistic
@@sbaxter4207 comedy
That was incredible, nice to see a more animated pitch
"What we didn't anticipate ... is that Duncan would start rearranging the pegs" ... Why yes, yes, that is the problem...
That James guy became uninvestable the second he started talking
You ever see a product, and within the first second or so you just KNOW... like you KNOW that it's doomed
This would be a lame toy in a cereal box that you just throw away
That was pretty pointless. Can play naughts and crosses on piece of paper instead of a gadget that is passed around and inevitable parts will be lost in the house!
"would you like a business card"
Theo: Get outta here
Belief in yourself can be a double edged sword... it needs to be tempered by reality
And that double edged sword can be used for...

@@aaronhurst4379 lmfaoooooo xD
The fact that the dragons finished one round with the toy in 20 seconds says it all
It was partially completed beforehand but yeah, it's not something you look at and can't wait to pick up.
Duncan also fiddled with it and broke the game state. It would be like adding a few extra pieces to a game of Connect 4, it's going to make it easier for someone to suddenly win.
I don't see how this would make anybody smarter. When they first showed how the game played i just immediately thought of a 3 dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe.
01:10 that look on Peter’s face is classic 🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Company dissolved in December 2018 with net assets of close to minus 50k
That's not true. Business is now worth 50 million
@@marianmurphy4625 I am only stating what Companies House records show in relation to this company. What is your source of information?
@@RichardHannam My source of information is research done by other people in comments here. Are you sure it's the same company your source is referring to?
@@marianmurphy4625 The records show the same directors. So, yes. Always best to rely on official records rather than individual opinions.
@@RichardHannam oh really. I'm surprised and disappointed
Confidence is good but sometimes too much confidence can make you blind
Lol that call back to the gestures from Peter when he said he was out fell real flat
Well, their Facebook page is pretty depressing. They were begging people to buy them for £25 back in 2015
Totally deluded; he has convinced himself of some fantasy reality where millions buy what is otherwise just an incredibly boring game. He seems to lack self-awareness on a gigantic scale.
Well summarised.
Its important to question not what WE think people think is fun, but what peplle find fun. So many products go in the graveyard due to this. This guy is no different
@@TheMikster95 Up to a point, that's absolutely true. Just looking at the game, the explanation, and how it works - it clearly isn't enjoyable. It's a delusion manufactured by someone overthinking and possibly with some experience on the autism spectrum.
and a whole lot of autism in its place
should've made the game on an app. might have had something then. 😆
The moment he explained the judo chop I was like here comes the painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn LOL
Its better than chess yet that was the fastest checkmate ever lol.
To be fair they are too late in the game .
If they released this in the 80s or 90s then it would be massive but unfortunately the market has gone for those types of games now !
I mean, this was around 5 years just after the den saw a rubics-cube type product like this that got a full house of offers and made millions.
Yeah tbh I really don't know who this was made for I haven't seen anyone over the age of 6 ask for something that isn't a smartphone or some type of gaming console in years, and for anyone that's older I highly doubt they would really care
This was a entry level with the Dragons. There were other games on that cube which they didn't explore. I think the game is great but it could have bern pitched better. Wonder how they got on?
Noughts and crosses without the pen and paper
At a certain point he just started talking... and never stopped. Not a great strategy. Completely doomed their pitch unfortunately
Would you like a business card 😂
The audacity. You've got to admire it.
Poor man’s Connect 4 😖🍻
That’s exactly what I thought 😂
Doesn’t exactly beat chess
Can't find any info on this game, mustve been dead and buried before it begun
What about yourself?
@@TheManInBlueFlames what about me?
What information about yourself have you found?
It made no sense to me 🤔
My man getting good with the upload titles now! 👌
We haven't had any rain for the last few months, and for that reason, I'm drought.
02:35 Problem was , Duncan went first
I agree with Duncan, this game looks silly.
I enjoy how the inventor describes the game at 1:04 🤪🤪🤪 Those hand motions!
Magnetic buttons would've made the product look slick and attractive and perhaps even an investment!
Few people predicted the massive global success of the Rubik's Cube. This idea looks terrible - but maybe it's a case of them failing to convey what it is properly? There surely must be more to it? If not, then yes, this invention is absolutely abysmal.
Surely anyone that held and played with a Rubik's Cube would have immediately realised it was intriguing and potentially addictive. That's not the feeling you get with this game.
@@Jehannum2000 Yes, you're right. That's what I was saying, maybe there's more to it and they just didn't convey that properly. Or, yes indeed, it really is just poor.
The difference between this game and the Rubik’s cube is that I would look at the Rubik’s cube and think I can solve it whereas this I looked at and just thought wtaf do you do with that
The way Peter said he was out was a reenactment of James Caan’s outings because he was talking to James
5:15 I'd say Theo looks more constipated :3
Dragons missed out on this, the two entrepreneurs got the Zimbabwean football team too endorse this, they're making so much ZWL.
lol
And they're making trillions off that deal. Bet the dragons regret this one
This is some next level hopium these guys had lol
The post edit colour correct looks so much better than the current format. Find the recent seasons very saturated
"Would you like a business card?" LOL
Watched the video and straightaway googled the name "Culicka". And google suggests "Showing results for click games". Well it turned out to be a disaster!
So not the best thing since playing cards and chess?
@@RockyDave Haha lol
Seems very boring and confusing.
True
9 minutes in and I’ve seen no packaging nd don’t remember the name lol
Would you like my business card! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. Greatest invention since playing cards? Lol, I doubt they sold the 5,000 they had
"poker players will play it"
poker player here, i'd rather lose my entire bankroll
I don't have any Friends. I also don't need someone else to play Chess with, A.I has existed since Deep Blue.
Was this just hand-held connect 4?
The only way you could make that game sell today, would be to turn it into a drinking game. But I'm still not sure it would be investable even then.
it's better to just invest in the booze then
The general concept of the game isn't that bad but the dragons finished within less than 30 seconds and there are way better games out there
No, the concept is awful
Hillary left 2012 & saddly died this year. She was lovely.
Peter is like: ...
Business is now worth 50 mil! My boys smashed it!!
But does this include Brian's figures?
@@adamhawkins5697 yes
Liar .
50 mil in what currency?
🤡
Hi, I'm Jenny
I love your product and can see it has a market. Unfortunately, I have an incredible pain with some swelling on my toe and for that reason, I'm gout
He was a right nerd with the curly hair
Duncan was wrong to say that, the inventor was right there, everyone else was much nicer
Any idea where to get one
Try looking In a bin :)
Anyone how this business went?
Company dissolved 2018.
Started at the bottom and went downwards.
It seems it's just multiple tic-tac-toe matches at the same time.
trying to search for this game... no website at all.. rule nr. 1 make sure GOOGLE can find you...
I'd love to see a call of duty pitch 😍
Someone has just spoken the truth!!
'Asperger's, say's What'?
it's basically six 3x3 boards of a single tictactoe game. 2player tictactoe ends in a draw, 3+ player one is guaranteed to never have a winner, horrible game.
Anyone inspired by this product? Game over.
Me.
I have met an roleplayed with James (who is in this video)
Subtitles "Hi Peppa" 🤣🤣🤣
More Hillary episodes!
Whilst they’re at it; what’s happening on the 5th of September 2024? 🫡
You can't even find this game on Google.
ITs just a Noughts and Crosses multiplayer in 3D
The game is like Connect 4 but more players - it's genius. Am I missing something?? LoL
Duncan never did like games!
I’d probably take debora home after a few around this time
Oh how macho of you
Just bought this on eBay for £7.50 incl postage hahaha
I bet Red Tie guy smashes Tinder
At 10:48 did bubblehead 1 called the dragons "cognitive dissidents".....?
No. he said ‘cognitive dissonance’ and was referring to himself
good game - i would have invested
THOSE MIMES WERE TOTOALLY UNNECESSARY.
The most fun thing you could do with this is peg it at your sibling's face
one iv never seen before
It seems a fun game.... for a bit. Very delusional on how big its going to becomr
This is highschool level stuff not a real product
WHATS DOES HILARY LOOK LIKE... SOMETHING OUT OF DALLAS
Peter Jones combat out
_Theopetus_
They might have got one of them, probably Duncan, with a better pitch. Less trying to be clever. Is a poor product tho, looks boring. Like a 3d version of xo
Ethereum 👍
is this still alive?
Totally delusional this guy
I’m colour blind…….😩
Might want to use a word other than gaming. Wrong term, whoever produces content for this channel.
Theo the fetus
Yeah, just type random comments I guess. Clever.
