- Jonathan Astor is pitching his off-beat advertising agency, Ambient Allstars, he needs £100,000 and in return, he's offering a 15% equity share but what will the Dragons think of Jonathan himself..?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.
#DragonsDen #Confrontation - Zábava
This guy could talk his way out of a lottery win.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
@@ethericboy Not too bright, are you?
😂😂
@Alex May
Jenny: And for that reason, I'm out....
"I didnt plan to be run over by a bus ..."
-Dragons in disgust at his lack of planning
I don't understand what he means. Can you please explain.
@@ya00007 in other words he doesn't plan on failing
1 dragon was wondering if it was a schoolbus
I didn't plan to be run over by a bus.
Rather than have the idea to advertise on buses...
@@ya00007 A company should plan for all contingencies, including the very obvious one that the CEO or main owner/driver of the business leaves (for whatever reason). In one sense, just making the assumption the CEO would stay there belies the principle that companies are more than a 'person' - they are a combination of systems, workflows, decision makers, customers and finances. An exist strategy needs to be always be considered.
Definitely more fun to watch the ones that are confrontational
110%
He sounds like Morse code
@@romancatholicword528 bruh 💀💀💀💀
@@romancatholicword528oh my days that's too accurate😂
Oh yes
This dude is hilarious, he is rejecting investments/investors that haven't been offered.
😂😂
😂 His interaction with Theo was like being fired, escorted out the building and dumped on the pavement, only to stand in the street shouting that you quit.
@@Heathen.Deity. lmao!
lol that is so true
Love it when he starts talking trash right back at them lmao
Yeah, the Dragons used to be real scum. I think the BBC made them tone it down a bit, otherwise the show would've been axed.
The dragons are a bunch of rude dickheads ! Rightly so he hit them right back ! Good on you Jonathan - you fired them ! 🤣
Well that’s how not to get an investment..plus all he did was stutter
The dragons did the right thing by grilling him…he was just rude and unprofessional…wouldn’t surprise me if he was completely redundant
@@caitlinlindsay8418 yes but put yourself in his position. If you watch carefully they actually started being rude to him first i.e. Theo Pathetic. So they deserved everything he dished. Failure in the den does not necessarily mean failure in his business. Hope he succeeded and comes back richer than these snobby retards.
What he is lacking is seaweed and a flow signal on his advertising. Then his proposal would have been a success.
Lame
@@diggintheblueswithaparrot1329 your sister appreciates it
Don’t forget the saw horse
@@joemufc2 🤣🤣🤣 those guys were straight up ridiculous lol
Only if he didn’t forget to put the egg in 😂
He was spiky and confrontational but there was a little bit of me thinking "go on, son, stick it to them"!
And that’s why he didn’t get an investment…he should’ve shown them some respect
@@caitlinlindsay8418 Investing is a two way street. He needs them as much as they need him. He's been one of the only people to call out the dragons for being disrespectful, so I say power to him.
@@rje613 no.
@@rje613 Absolutely agree- and the "success" of many of the Dragons over the years isn't exactly stratospheric. Having money doesn't entitle you to belittle someone's dreams. I liked Jonathan Astor.
@@caitlinlindsay8418 He wouldn't have gotten an investment regardless. Look at his business model. He is a one-man advertising company where all the profits go to his salary. How would the investment from dragons change anything?
All this and he says he "didn't mean" to come across as confrontational when interviewed afterwards. Well, imagine if he did. Now *THAT* would be a pitch for the ages
😂
He didnt, he is obviously on the autistic spectrum. And they even critisized his dress style ...
Not how life works, buddy
I feel like with his stutter- he’s had to deal with bullying a lot, and has developed that need to defend himself even if it costs him socially/financially. And given how prissy the dragons can be i loved it😂
yeah kneejerk defensive reaction does him no favors when dealing with confident, relaxed people who know they hold the cards
@@DrTune its self sabotage no doubt. But they were never gonna invest. N they are prissy, save for Duncan. So i stand by my sentiment. It was good stuff👌😂
@@DrTune only thing that would have made it better is if Peter was wearing pearls and literally clutched them
That could very well be the case. Although, i think the stutter only occurs when someone disagrees with him, and his anger/temper is getting the best of him. Either case, this is BUSINESS.... no matter what your condition, you gotta take the criticism. ESPECIALLY when you're asking for money from investors. This pitcher could've done a better job taking advice from the dragons, VS just counter back with his own "logic". Money talks, and the type of salary he was making while running his business speaks for it self.
@@fpshooterful oh im not defending him. Just offering a potential cause to that beauty if an interaction 😂 his pitch was trash, and you gotta kiss ass sometimes, checking ego n all that. Still loved that he tried to hit back at the prissy dragons
This guy must be the only bloke in history to go in the den and not care if he come out with a investment or not 😂
Not if the dragons are going to insult you. That price for me would be too high.
He got free advertising for his business , 10 minutes on TV worth ??? . More than half of the people on here do the same thing IMO .
@@self-preservationsociety7057 How was that "advertising for his business"?
Are you one of those weird people who think "any press is good press" is really a thing? Because I can assure you it's not. At all!
@@joline2730it’s dragons den… not kitten den. Wouldn’t make good tv if they were all nice and polite
'I'm happy to rule you out' after Theo declares out is like getting dumped and responding with 'no, it's over'
Yeah, sounded like a couple's breakup. "I'm leaving you!" - "No, I am leaving you!" - and so on :-)
Plenty of people don’t wear suits and Peter wouldn’t say anything.
Yeah, but the dude is dressed like a douchebag. Untucked dress shirt with All Stars? Come on... That's terrible. Should have tucked the shirt in, put on a suit and a pair of brogues to look somewhat respectable, despite the jeans.
He stopped doing it in later episodes, especially the ones where he looks like he's been on a three day bender.
@@texyrexy yeah he looks so rough in some of them it’s hilarious given how particular about appearance he is/was
That shirt is smart and handsome, especially nowadays.
In the older episodes, which this clearly is, Peter was very strict about how people dressed when they came into the Den. In more recent episodes, he has softened his stance considerably.
It will be extremely difficult to work with a person like Jonathan. Regardless of what he says, he is very much on the defensive.
Totally agree
Yes, he comes across as a total jerk
He wouldn't be able to retain any employees.
Far too full of himself he’s a classic bullshitter Salesman
And the firm ended in 2007. He got 6 years out of it so good luck to him on that one and moved on and then on again
@@Paul-fq9pj Yes, full of himself. One has to be wary of those people.
He’s somehow mastered the art of saying different sentences at the same time in one breath
"I was the first person to put an advertisement underneath the bog roll holder in a dodgy pub in Dundee" - Jonathan the niche advert bloke.
😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😃
Shed rule.
Doug Richard has all the charm of a dead fly in your window sill. I feel like he could weaponize his voice, speech pattern and demeanor to cause clinical depression in his victims.
With the proviso of you having the patent for that, I would offer you all the money but I’d want 40% of the business.
LOL A dead fly that's so true somehow
Lol
On*
😂😂😂
My guy tried to dump Theo the fetus whilst he was saying he was out 😂
Dude i saw the subtitles the other day and noticed his name spelt like that i was dead haha
That’s soo funny when he goes attacking them one by one hahahahahahahah
Ahahah ikr
Love old Dragons Den, some of the most savage moments were from those days lol
True, they became much more docile in later seasons :-)
yes .. and wonderful selection of Dragons..
If by "savage" you mean rude.
they would eat the Sharks for LUNCH! no, BREAKFAST!
He is up there with the Pro-Gainz guy as the most confrontational character ever. Came in looking for a fight and got one
No, the Pro-Gainz guy is WAY more. This guy is humble.
Nah Fiona the seaweed lady was even worse again. Just watch that pitch.
Dude did you ever see pro gains guys Instagram? I assumed he had somehow 'made it' after Google search showed he had been in local newspapers claiming to turn down offers for £900million for his business. Obviously lying to dumb journalists and ended up bankrupt and homeless sleeping in his car.
Found his Instagram and he had 90k followers, assumed he had spent money on followers as all noobs do, his latest post was like a week old of some dinner he ordered at a restaurant and it had 4 likes. Lol. He must have bought all 90k followers which would cost a fair bit.
He obviously had 'entrapaneur' in his bio 🤣
He was a real interesting rabbit hole, obviously couldn't make a profit in business to save his life, and ended up trying to become an influencer (which is actually really hard) and failed at that too 🤣
I dont know, some simp queens on instagram earn MILLIONS through adverts and sponsorships.
@@TheManInBlueFlames what does that have to do with anything?
Operated the business until 2007 when he relocated to Denmark and took a job as a Planner at Omnicom. Attitude issues aside, it's an extremely tough business to make work and even if you do, exits are rare and at modest multiples.
Bruh
And that’s exactly what the dragons told him and his arrogance and ideological addiction blinded him to the truth.
Denmark can keep him...🤞🏼
This is what it looks like when you roll a natural 1 on persuasion.
...and 1 on charisma.
Hahahahahhhahaah
Underrated comment there
lol
Presenting with a stutter - no problem...
Trying to deliver sick burns with a stutter, now that's an unforced error!
Nothing wrong with a stutter. Your comment tells us nothing about him but reveals a lot about your own character that a wiser man would have kept hidden.
Picking up on a speech impediment is always always a great way to insult someone, the guy was terrible but stutters/stammers can’t be helped at the best of times
@@dark2k10 I don't think he has a speech impediment. He spoke clearly when he gave his pitch. I think he's nervous which is why he looks foolish trying to dish insults. People are calling him out on his bs and now he's stammering
@@helenaville5939 that's kinda why I said "no problem" at the beginning. His stutter isnt and shouldnt be a barrier to presenting.... but he wants to talk trash with that stutter and that just leaves him wide open
@@dark2k10 correct but being glib, trying to poke fun or deliver one liners can be helped. He chose to do that hence why I said it's an unforced error. Not "hes evil" not "his stutter makes him unworthy" just that he did something by choice that he didnt have to and unless you're confident at the best of times that's not going to go well. We wasnt confident and had a stutter to boot hence why I say it's an unforced error, maybe he should have been more conscious of how he sounded
I can’t stop watching these!!! 600th pitch in 6 days 😂😂
Same here bro🎃
You need a job or a life
Same here bro
@@jamesd5767 looooool
Careful you'll go outside and realise that it's 2023
I think, Peter Jones’ comment about his attire was basically to put the guy into his place ridiculously and outrightly. Peter knows how ridiculous it is to reject a pitch based on someone’s attire but in this case he reminded me of an exchange (not verbatim) between Mark Hamill and Ford:
Hamill: My hair do not look great. Do you think people will notice them?
Ford: Son, if people are noticing your hair, this movie is already in trouble.
tbh if ye gonna try and get investors, dressing nice can go a long way.
Put some effort in for £100k, that was the message.
No.
Telling Theo he wishes him the best of luck of luck for the future one of the greatest moments I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂
Nice to see Dufrais from Phone Jacker doing well
🤣🤣🤣😄
Well, I thought this guy was f**king hilarious. He should have his own sitcom.
I respect your opinion and understand you know far more than I do, but I'm always right... pretty much sums this up.
I’m super not sure why everyone is cheering him on in the comments. He was rude as all hell.
YES of course the dragons can be disgusting and rude on occasion, but this time he was rude to the woman right from the start, and same with Theo. He kept saying he disagreed with Theo over a literal fact. There was NO reason for him to fight him over that. He really seemed to have small man syndrome. I can’t imagine being friends with or working with someone like that.
Granted, it was very entertaining to watch haha. I just don’t get why he’s being cheered on so much as an “honest and good guy” when really he would be unbearable in real life, and he was absolutely rude completely unprovoked in this case.
Homme, I totally disagree - I believe the dragons were extremely rude ... and provoking
I agree, I thought he was rude, snippy, thought he knew it all and deeply unprofessional. He should have wound his neck in and tried to take their advice.
He can go sit on a cactus. 😊
Actually her question about him being run over by a bus is pretty rude. Yes it is a hypothetical, but she is essentially saying that, should she invest in him, all she would care about when she hears about his death is what happens to her investment.
*stammering with anger after being mildly criticized* “It goes right through me”
People who repeatedly claim to be emotionless and calm generally all have anger management issues, this presenter included
It’s called a stutter
He'd had the stutter for the beginning
This guy could have had a fantastic business/idea, but he has such a grating personality that there’s no way anyone would want to work with him.
Duh
Think about it... This dude just walked into a room full of rich investors and basically asked them to fund for him a work office, staff and salary. Not a business, just literally one dude trying to find a job at an advertising firm and asking rich people to create it for him.
Rachael: Go under a bus.
Entrepreneur: I'm not planning to.
Narrator: The dragons are not impressed that he has talked back to her.
Are you able to explain in a measured and concise manner, the reasons you found to simply quote from the clip?. Easy to be clever and say "No", harder and cleverer yet to respond maturely to the question.
@@HIOP0 Yes, I can.
@@gamewithadam7235 Ah well, just shows, an intellectual such as you is not to be messed with...
@@HIOP0 why are you being an ass to GameWithAdam?
@@Jamie-2004 They're not being an ass. He misquoted the people in the video to make it seem as if the exchange was different. That's dishonest.
4:48 ...actually I think the guy is taking waaaaaaaaay more than coffee!! :O
DDDD
Love that he gave back as good as they tried to give it to him. About time!
what? He came in looking for a partner and cash, and he got neither. You know exactly what you are facing when you are chosen for the DEN. He obviously has low self confidence and a bad attitude as a result.
@@JazzyMarineVet excellent.
Yeah, the Dragons used to be arrogant and immature egomaniacs. Now they're just egomaniacs.
@@JazzyMarineVet exactly. Im assuming the stutter lead to bullying. Developed a me against the world mentality and ends up sabotaging himself. But they were never going to invest anyway, and the dragons are notoriously prissy. Good tv right?😂
Rachel is right about the bus thing, in IT we call it "the bus factor"
The Dragons have invested in plenty of ideas that revolve around one person.
@@anubusx good ideas, unlike this one lol
There is a way to eliminate the danger associated with ''the bus factor''.
... we fit a flow signal.
@@tedcrilly46 'You're going through a strange town. There's young Suzie driving a bus, look out!'
@@anubusx Were there products behind the person though. This is a one-guy service operation. He gets hit by a bus, it's over. I don't think buses look for signs of whom they can hit.
Remembering the days when Peter used to care about every man having to wear a suit for an investment. Thank goodness he moved on from this silly idea.
It's a good way to see how the times have changed in general as a lot of corporate/office jobs used to require people to wear suits or at the least a shirt/tie. There's a lot of companies these days which have a casual/smart casual dress code as long as they're not customer facing.
tbf the guy is wearing jeans and trainers with a dumb looking belt buckle XD would you go to a job interview dressed like that?
Creative professions are a grey area when it comes to dressing and conduct. You are meant to be professional in them but still show some individual flair.
Since when is a level of professionalism a bad thing? The idea is to prove you are trustworthy and seeming to be reputable. I have tattoos on my arms but when I go for an interview, I understand I have to present myself in a professional manner
@@Andrew-1828 I feel its just sometimes people cant. I have dental issues. yes i tried address it, however due my other health issues I cant go through cheap treatment available in my country. when I was looking for a job i was only rejected, and I was looking for lowest classification job, literally be cashier at fast food or fast fashion. I gave up. I gave up on my life tbh. everyone cares about outside and thats why there are no place for people like me.
Theo: I'm out
Jonathan: No, you
I love this guy for giving as good as he got from Theo Prothesis at 4:45
Theo The Fetus
The Oaf Or Fetus
The Oath Of Pee Fist
The Oak A Tree Piss
That's really disrespectful, totally inappropriate, and not a way to win a business partner
@@TraXXXtar don't forget about Theopa Fetus
They should give this guy his own talk show, interviewing politicians. It would be hilarious.
@@radiance65 I'm pretty sure that these days he's working as Joe Biden's speech therapist
Perfect timing for my pizza
Doug Richards: If there are no girls with serious risk of time in jail....Im sorry....you know what Im going to say....Im out
😂😂😂😂
BAAAA HA HA HA HA! Yeeeaaaahhh....he's a terrible person
@mike Sutton wtf what's the context?
@@shariqahmad3088 just google his name
Hahahah
he did not endure a confrontation ---he was the confrontation. Everyone else endured it.
the stencil+power wash ad idea is brilliant.
For a man that is in the marketing business, he sure doesn't know how to sell himself.
The dragons were right to talk about his bad pitching skill, clothing, speaking - because thats half of what an advertising agency does.
Can only Imagine what Mr Wonderful would do to this guy if he was there..
You're DEAD to me, now get the F out!
He would have said, “ you are cockroach 🪳 in this industry!”
Probably won't hear him over the obnoxious sound effects
Might offer him a deal. Very different on Shark Tank and Mr Wonderful & Cuban will eat up Peter Jones when he is a guest judge.
Idk, maybe offer him a "shout-out" for $3k?
Guy seems like he doesnt want the investment. He just wants the fight
It's awful how Peter would judge people on their appearance rather than their business. There was a time where he wore a pink tie
He's not judging them on their appearance directly, he's judging how important _they_ think he is and the effort they've put in to make a good impression.
Nothing wrong with wearing a pink tie.
He has a point and he is consistent. It's fine to dress in jeans and a shirt if you are meeting your mates down the pub. If you are wanting an investment from people, not so much. There's a time and a place for how you dress. Would you wear a t-shirt and sweat pants to a funeral or wedding? There was one time he asked a couple why they were wearing runners and sweatpants and they said it was because they wanted to show that they are not afraid to get stuck in and do the hard work needed to run a business. It was the only time he accepted such attire.
when truck driver can come in suit, so can this or any other loser!
Peter Jones clearly said if the dress code is not there then i look at other things such as the pitch and the business...
But this douchebag came with nothing apart from a fight and he got it
Peter should host a fashion show.
Peter should get lost ! I hate him 🙄🙄
that jumpscare at the beginning tho xD
Jonathan definitely drives in the middle lane of an empty motorway.
... so what?
@@MrLTiger so, it says something about his personality.
@@apbosh1 and he drives as slow as possible with his advertising on the back of his car 🤣🤣🤣
@@MrLTiger you in Jonathan's league lol
@@MrLTiger I'm with ya.
I always loved this clip, you can tell by his nervous speech that even he know when he needs to shut up, but his verbal diarrhea just wont let him.
Verbal diarrhea, lmao. That's the perfect term for it.
Brave Jonathan, to teach back the basic manners to the dragoons. High time some one taught these dragons, they are not doing charity here, they are conducting business, so they should treat the entrepreneurs with respect....thanks Jonathan.
7:39 Little did they know it was all about Pizza Jones!
Doug Richard's voice reminds me of the actor John Malkovich 🧐
That look on Peter’s face right before he shreds him to pieces. All time great moment.
THIS IS ENTERTAINING ! WE NEED MORE GORE please! :D
Dragons don’t like it when someone speaks back to them the way they often speak to the person pitching…good on you mate 👍
I think it would be interesting to see a mashup of people entering up the stairs and either shaking hands or walking away, I feel like you can tell a lot about some of these people by the way they run/walk up the stairs
Commenting on his clothes was utterly patronising, discriminatory and discusting. That's the reason I never really watched that show.
lighten up
And his antagonism wasn't? Lol
4:10 Man! Cut down on the _coffee!_
Omg the lip shaking st the start did my head in
Banger
Good for him for standing up for himself !
Presentation matters, it's also nice to be friendly to your investor's, all the best to the entrepreneur , all the best
Doug reminds me of John Malkovich who's one of my favorite actors.
He stand his grand treat people how you wanted to be treated good on you.
I was waiting for him to tell the Dragons that they're out.
I knew Peter would point out his clothes. Peter criticised the guy with trikes for the same reason.
Peter was super anal about dress code in those days. I think the producers told him to stop doing that because he definitely doesn’t do it in future seasons lol
He stood up to them all tbf and gave a bit back a lot of ppls arses would of fallen out or just bottled ot and walked out,the guys got a backbone ill give him that
I think this dude was more so nervous of the dragons and his response and demeanor reflect that, he shoulda just listened to them and just say “understandable thanks for your time”
This is put in merely to spice things up, and it works
one of the most cringe-inducing episodes I've watched, and I've watched quite a few!
Evolutions Solutions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They act and live above people socially and they imply they are smarter. Yet we witness them begging others for their ideas. that's cringe.
What about Rory
@@user-yp3oj5se1i not really
Mannn that dude who introduces the show has masssssssive ears. Jimuna ears
Amazing pitch
Wow and this guy is in marketing!! He would alienate every client that walked in the door. Tool!
Doug Richard “ if it’s not about underage girls it’s not about me “
Sooo many adverts on this channel's videos that i might as well watch it on commercial tv!!!
What a fun and engaging bloke.
And now he can have big respect for himself as he asks his customers if they want fries with that.
LMAO brilliant
Ok, yes his pitch was pretty poor and generally his business was wishy washy. But he had his vision and perspective. The dragons here are of course more experienced, but some here just straight up took the opportunity to be arrogant pricks instead of taking the high road. Really shows that whilst this guy may have been indeed confrontational, the likes of Theo, Duncan and Peter didn't exactly show themselves to be mature in their exchanges either.
No they didn't. Face it, if THIS guy came to you asking for your money, you wouldn't give him one red cent, either.
This guy doesn't know the power of being humble and respected.
I feel confident in saying this gentleman spends alot of time alone.
6:00 Duncan is hilarious lmao
Rejecting a dragon after they declare themselves out is arrogant and petty, even if you end up not liking a person and feel like you won't be a good fit to one another just thank them for their time and don't lash out...
Edit: it's like a line from a sitcom "you can't break up with me, because I'm breaking up with you!"
You're fired!!!
No, I quit!!!!
Looking on subtitles do you have to include the ums and ahs on them.
07:00 Peter Jones goes in balls deep on the jeans and black shirt guy.
They clearly don’t understand such innovation and genius. 👀
All those people who did plan on getting hit by a bus must be kicking themselves now 🤷♂️
6:38 lol Doug's face... 😬
he was not confrontational - he was responding to a rude comment and I respect him for that. peter's comment about his clothes is a typical arrogance from this ass - i really liked him and wish him well.
To be fair though no one should ever go to an important business meeting dressed like that. Imagine being dressed like that for a job interview??? It’s unprofessional.
@@hommefataltaemin Incorrect.
Peter Jones gets home after a long day in the den, to find one of his neighbours working on his car. The nighbour is wearing an old t shirt and oil stained jeans. The neighbour lifts his head from the car engine and cheerfully says "Hi Peter!", and Peter says "Why aren't you wearing a suit?"
You're so funny not
The neighbor was actually wearing what is often referred to as a 'Boilersuit'
Peter also has a Big Head .. and it suits him
Pretty sure Peter wore a suit ever since he was 5. Got teased in school and this is his weird way of getting revenge.
@@helenharris8941 I was laughing when I was reading your comment on Peter. it's very FUNNY. how did you make up?
Had to check my playback speed for this one...
LMAO
Back in the day when Peter Jones got angry about people not wearing suits. Now, he never says a word at people wearing t-shirts and trainers.
You can tell exactly the way he's feeling by the way he stammers and doesn't put a breath in; it feels like every word he puts in is an enormous effort to sound like a normal human being for both the dragons and the cameras.
