- Peter Ashley's 'Easy X Chair' was next to enter the den seeking £75,000 in return for a 15% equity stake in his hybrid multi-gym lazy boy manufacturing company, but Duncan sidetracks the pitch with his cardio session.
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 #EasyXChair #Hilarious - Zábava
After reading the title and watching the first minute, I thought Duncan had made a comedian do a pitch and Peter would get very angry about that hilariously silly idea!
Exactly what I thought. They both even sounded like they were acting through the whole pitch.
Same here. Especially when he revealed the design for the office chair. That looked to ridiculous to be true.
At what point was there a prank? And Peter gave a wan smile, but heart attack? Clickbaited again (sigh)
Me too 😂
Taught the same
What a shame Touker wasn't there - his office space in London would've been perfect for this!
Literally
Good one..
How often did he offer that now only to get shut down by another dragon?
I can without of doubt see Touker using this
You mean Central London!
This product would sell millions right now with everyone in quarantine
Yeah right, I have a couple of bikes, a dumbbell set, and a yoga mat but the thing I need in my life is this comedy device? The old boy is very likable so I hope he didn't burn too much money on this thing. It is my favourite DD pitch of all time, he came back a second time to pitch a revamped model btw, didn't get an investment (crazy right?) so you have to love his perseverance. Should I ever visit a house where the host offers me a sweat covered armchair to sit in I'll stroke my chin thinking about the missed investment opportunity... while politely choosing to stand!😁
No it wouldn't, it's ugly.
Not everyone has a large enough living room to walk around the back to use the treadmill part. It's a good idea otherwise.. But I can see it being a 5 minute wonder along with every other treadmill, excecise bike etc left to collect dust. Image just had Sunday dins.... Would you really want to then use that. Hmm. You'd want to fall asleep zzz
@SavageArfad It's an armchair, an ugly armchair, that doubles as an exercise machine.
@@smoothmicra have you seen how much exercise equipment has been selling for over lockdown? Demand has gone through the roof. People would have bought this because everything else has been wiped off the shelves.
Duncan is genuinely a nice guy. Humerous, honest and up for a good laugh too.
He's one of the most dour people on the planet.
He is just for the show, in reality probably not so muchu
@@johnmc3862 yeah
To the three dour morons who replied to this, projecting their own downright negative attitudes onto Duncan-- Look at the genuine mirth on his face; look at the tears of laughter. You can't fake that for TV. You're all just bitter, and want to believe that everyone else is too.
My mum is friends with his wife and can contest he is a genuine nice man
Awww kinda felt sorry for the old geezer. He's a humble man.
@Gareth humble in personality as in he is not arrogant or proud, many millionaires are humble and many more are not
Oh, come on. This is a setup. Not even the old guy could keep from laughing during his pitch.
@Gareth what does humility have to do with wealth?
He was asking for £75,000 for 15% in a company he hadn't even created yet, and wanted to take back the equity in 3 years...
Feel sorry for those who never got an exercise chair.
The guy needed to simply focus heavily on the elderly community.
I was going to say the same thing, opportunity missed
This would be great for a retirement home.....how does he not realize this?
Exactly
Was going to say the same thing.
The dragons should have realised this point not just the guy, so opportunity lost both ways
This could've done great at retirement homes. This is a great idea for older people to stay fit. How could they not see potential in that?
Tate's Mobile Wash & Detail too awkward
That's a niche market. They want to massify the product to sell millions not thousands. I think he addressed to problem in a wrong way, people who dont want to go to the gym beacuse of time or because they fill embarassed about it, and they don't have the money and the space (specially in europe with shuch small homes) to have severall equipments, those are the potential clients.
literally every one would buy this
It looks like a piece of crap 💺
@@sulimanduliman8661 well they would’ve worked out a lot of kinks. And besides in a retirement home there’s always support workers there so they wouldn’t be doing it on their own
the fact that this could save people space by being both a chair and a home gym could be a selling point.
It's also quite cheap. £500 for a comfy chair and gym equipment is rather good.
And for someone that doesn't have a lot of space, I agree it's useful. I mean I usually go outside for exercise or go to my boxing gym. But sometimes it's just too hot or too icy outside or there's a worldwide epidemic going on and this would be perfect should any of those situations occur.
However it's quite a small market. So I can see why they would be reluctant to invest.
The design is also quite poor.
Well he said about it saving space.
I think that is his selling point
this is actually a crafty device for elderly people.
No one wants to sit on a hot fabric couch after getting hot and sweaty
except the chair has to be in the middle of the room
Cody 'I'm a savage in there' Stephens and Oliver, i agree it isn’t practical at all but ideally this man should have marketed the audience and the product’s use better so that we wouldn’t be doing it in the comments.
so you are an elderly person?
Or for rehab after surgery
This looks like a rather neat idea. I am disabled and would love to have my armchair double as an exercise machine for my physiotherapy needs.
I train elderly clients and reckon that every single one of them would want one of these!
Especially when the elderly is living in a small apartment and doesn't have space for exercise or rehabilitation
What about women after the pregnancy that want to be fit? Living in a small flat, can't leave a child to go to the gym, and often exercise while watching netflix
@Archock Encanto you've come before the dragons today not knowing your figures 😉
osamabinsmokin o
I think the millionaires forget that we don't all live in big fancy homes, not a lot of us have the room for a gym, the chair would be perfect for us who don't have a lot of room.
Or maybe the issue is that it's just not very good.
I love how kind Richard is. And I agree with the other commentators that he should've focused on the elderly community. My grandfather, who uses a walker, hardly leaves the house and just does simple exercises by lifting his legs while sitting on a chair. He also walks back and forth in the small gap between the bed and the wall to catch himself in case he falls (he doesn't use the walker when doing this exercise). Something compact and multipurpose like this that can just sit in his room AND give him stability from a safety perspective would be really useful for him.
3:10 - "ok, calm yourself down" had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂
Sadly, they were laughing *at* him. Not with him.
Yeah Duncan was clearly having a bit of fun and later the guy was being kind of ridiculous answering Deborah about who would buy it, just repeating "people who want to be fit" without specifying which subset or why in a chair other than "two for one". He seems like a great fellow but not a good pitch.
That's because he wasn't laughing.
Litterally
They knew it was a joke from the start. Nobody could keep a straight face.
That's the difference between this show and Shark Tank.
They were a bit harsh on him, at least Richard declined with a more gracious air.
"Calm yourself down..." made me burst out laughing.
From the title I thought Duncan made this all up to play a trick on Peter Jones
Literally my thoughts as well. Wont lie the clickbait titles are getting annoying
Yep, same here
Same here
Me too
Me too. I kept waiting for the reveal that never came :(
This is a brilliant idea!! They were very rude and oblivious. This guy will make a lot of money with the right partner. His patent is also worth a lot of money.
I agree.
Very delusional.
This chair may have actually been a life-saver for my late Grandma if these were on the market. She was slowing losing it and having something like this may have actually been a good thing.
Duncan’s wheeze on this after his little prank really cracked me up. He is such a class fella hahahaha
Hope he is doing well, he sounds like a nice man. I read that he has a vacation house on the canaries so he might be just living the life
He really does 🙂
He passed away 8 months ago from a hit and run
@@StephenCarrIsBald link?
@@StephenCarrIsBald No he was mugged and stabbed to death in london. It made the news quickly.
@@knuckles7410God bless him RIP
Evan Davis looks like Tommy Pickles from Rugrats as an adult
Brilliant call.
I can't look at him now without seeing him say aw Tommy lol
Deborah looks like an adult Angelica.
🤣😂💯
🤣🤣🤣
This is great. My nan is 90 years old and I would absolutely LOVE to buy this for her. I feel really bad for this guy.
hows your nan
I don't know why they're all laughing. I would really like a chair like that
Me too. I've not got a lot of space, so this would be ideal.
Though I agree with the dragons that the design doesn't look too great.
EK7 but it’s awkward really fiddling around with all those gizmos, it needs to be more convenient. I feel like loads of people buy these things but never use them
It's true when they say that some people will buy anything. 🤦♂️
Are you 90?
Yes I was almost furious at them for laughing. I want to buy this so much! Been searching for years for this product. Living in a small apartment, being a fitness fanatic, and a bit asocial, so I dislike gyms. I so desperately want to turn my bed/chair into a good excersize machine. So the extra item doesn’t bulk up my small flat.
Now thanks to the dragons I can not buy it.
Honestly, I think this was actually a really good idea. Could absolutely have been refined and would have needed a lot more money to do that but I do think something similar could take off in the future
1:25 That face is priceless.
Maybe just me but i thought it was quite a good idea, being housebound & bad mobility this would be great for me, it could look nicer but that good be fixed I'm sure.
He should have mentioned that people with small homes want things like that because they won't take up valuable room.
I could see this selling in decent numbers through catalogue and TV shopping channels.
Honestly I'd love to have an armchair that also functioned as a mini-gym. With work, family, more work and so on there's barely any time left for going to the gym most days. Nor do I have room for a full size gym machine at home.
This chair might not be as versatile or professional as a proper home gym machine, but I'd love to have one.
Yeah i think with some refinement it could be pretty decent, if the price was right I'd look into buying one. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week but i would use that on my off days or weekends with my daughter
@@davidwilliams9386 Exactly!
So you could swet on it?!?! The concept is ridiculous! Also it does a lot, but so poorly.... The whole purpose of exercising is to get your ass out of a sofa!
@@Zoopie911 idk man i tend to be seated in the gym
I agree. I think sometimes the dragons are too wealthy and out of touch with normal people and because of that they see through ideas that would be beneficial for many.
At first i thought it was a joke but when he show them how it works now i actually think it's a brilliant idea
It's indeed a brilliant invention
They were just so rude with him 😒
This was my favourite one so far I think, Duncan is hilarious, had me in stitches 😂😂😂
I mean, it's quite a neat idea tbh. Maybe make it a bit more robust and so on. But for a start, not bad really. I've seen a LOT worse designs and and ideas on this :P
Workout equipments are full of bacteria and bodily fluids. You don't wanna use this is a normal chair.
Klaudia haha yea I mean come on lol you sweat on regular chairs too
Totally agree wt u
If he Just have Said it was a minimum viable product that could be reshaped into more pleasant aesthetics. Maybe It would have went better.
I would love this guy to make his millions in the face of the Dragons.
Honestly the chair is pretty useful and creative. Imagine I buy it, put it in the living room or a nice place and someone comes to my place, just think of it as a normal chair. Then I can surprise them with all of the functions of this chair.
things I like about Peter’s pitch or his product :
He is a nice, humble and creative man.
Price is good
Chair is useful.
Hopefully he can find someone to market this product.
Good luck.
I think Peter missed a golden branding opportunity with this thing. Should’ve called it the Fit Git 😅
I love how he just looks at Duncan after stating all his facts for some kind of affirmation 😂
I think it's brilliant and he was dead on about the target market.
I remember my grandma buying all these exercise machines off the television and they took up so much space, and she ended up spending most of her time in her living room recliner. This would have been perfect for her.
Oh how I love Duncan & Peter Jones! Duncan laughing to tears gets me every time!
"You remind me of Q" -- Peter Jones classic!!
I love this chair. Ide really like to have one. Its easier to do your work-out in your home than going to a gym, and you can do it while you watch tv or play video games or whatever. Im surprised the dragons are son negative about the idea
I tend to agree. It would have worked in homes for the elderly, places like that.
@El-ahrairah people that have been in an accident, broken bones sent home to recover for what ever. its never short and that all ages!
top banana they go to physical therapy for that they’re not gonna be using some dumb chair with shitty weightlifting mechanisms
if it was affordable and good looking to an extent that people would have no problems having it in their homes - which both are fully possible - Im sure many people would like to have this product, at least many enough that this would make a good profit.. Its all in one, space-saving, "incentivizing" (meaning that it has a low threshold to take out and use, contrary to going to the gym, costing lots of money every month, which may be a "support-membership (paying for a service you don't use)), can be used while doing other stuff (TV, work etc) etc etc.
Its not the "weight lifting"-mechaninc that are the selling point. What really gets you in good shape and keeps you healthy is cardio, and this thing had both cycling and running as an option.
I love this product!
This is a product for people that want to think they're doing something to get fit but are really doing nothing
I broke my hip surfing and this would of been really useful when I was in recovery..
Darryl Kemp would have*
Seeing Duncan in tears having a wry laugh at the ridiculousness of the product and the situation, and being "cheered" on by the laughter of the other dragons is really what makes this clip gold. Two old gits indeed!
This would DEFINITELY sell in America.
“Dragons always looking for a money making invention!”... such as reposting old content under click bait titles.. ☝️😏...
Cypher791 so much truth in this it’s crazy i thought it was gonna be jonesy boy
Was this reposted tho?
Cypher791 this isn’t a reposted video, this is an original upload from the Dragon’s Den archives.
Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey no it’s not hun.
@@harley7836 yh I thought so
This channel needs to cool it with the clickbait titles latley.. I haven't even watched this but I doubt there's going to be a prank!
I know! It's not like they need to clickbait anyway, the fans will watch it regardless
There is not prank shown. It runs like a normal epeisode
Good for you. I fell for it.
@@andrewvelonis5940 the only reason I know is because I fell for it too. geez no need to try and hurt my little delicate snowflake feelings
Clickbait alert ! ! ! Keep walking on by. Nothing to see here.
This episode was classic way Duncan laughing 🤣
Duncan is such a mad lad and this episode has confirmed it
No way! I was searching for this the other day! This is my all time fav moment in the den, so funny!!!
I'd 100% buy it for my mom once she has difficulty moving around.
Coronavirus got the dragon's shook wishing they invested for quarantine
I was just thinking this. I wonder if Peter has made a killing on this during the pandemic?
The title was click bait coz Duncan didn't do a prank....
''Duncan nearly gives Peter a heart attack'' 🤔 aka Jenny just called and said she would like to make an offer 😂
Danny Allan she’s not in the video stop begging for likes
@@fbo4545 well, in a world full of negative people, it's good to count on you to be fun and happy my friend. Have a lovely day
@@fbo4545 I'll leave you with this completely original thought I just came up with. The concept of your response was in the right place, but the execution was lousier than those 90s James Bond movies.
J Hock Completely unnecessary statement
@@andrewp146 Yes, that's why I made it.
I would buy this chair, I have very limited space in my house, this would be ideal.
Narrator: "England...is currently ruled by a monarch."
Narrator: "The sky...is blue."
Never seen Duncan have so much fun, this was a good one!
9 minutes in and I'm still waiting for the "prank".
I thought based on the title that this was a fake investment that Duncan set up and Peter Jones almost had a heart attack.
Arcklez that’s what I was also thinking 🤔🙈
There wasn't one. Clickbait
He pretended to slip/run on the treadmill... The entrepreneur's name was Peter too.
🤣🤣
This would sell like crazy in Japan tho
I've seen this several times now and it still makes me fkn laugh, hilarious. So lovely seeing them all cracking up like this. Their laughing is infectious
Perfect for stay at home moms like me who doesn't have time to go to the gym! I can't believe they are laughing at the idea. It was brilliant!
I love Duncan's reactions to such 'crazy' inventions 🤣 it's almost literally saying 'no one would ever need it, no one would ever use it, but it's still kinda genious' 😂
seen this one so many times, one of the best ever pitches on DD
I think this guy is one of my favourites on dragon's den, he's great lol. Seems like a nice guy.
Peter: Capital
Tej: Vitamins
Deborah: Patent
Duncan: Health
Jenny: Out
Touker: Office Space
Theo: Children’s Inheritance
🤣👏🏼
😂😂
duncan's laughing so hard he's crying
I think this would sell to older people as they mainly don't really like going gym and could do some light exercise at home. Good idea 👍
I love these kinds of inventors. Really impressive to see their drive and conviction.
I’ve never laughed so much thank you 🙏
“Bowels and chairs” are never a good combination from my experience of being a hospital doctor 👨🏼⚕️ 😉😂👍
this kind of looks like something in hospitals and retirement homes.
He's such a sweet guy.
He hasn't even completed his speech and these dragons have the most condescending smiles on them. Absolute shame.
Duncan was easily the best Dragon he was always up for a laugh 😂
Felt sorry for him hope he makes it. I’d buy one to both support him and just in case there is another quarantine
I remember seeing this on the tv, the early days of dragons den. I find the way the dragons are laughing and mocking him very disrespectful. It's actually a really good idea, its very practical, resourceful, inventive, creative. lots of people want to keep fit but don't like the idea of going to a fitness centre, or can't physically get there, and they don't have many people in fitness centres over forty despite what Duncan claims, it would also save a lot of money on gym membership, not to mention space. hope he did make money on an invention, if not this then something else.
This Should Have Been targeted at the elderly and Healthcare providers
What a nice guy. Wish him the best of luck in the future with anything that he does.
Theo the fetus
The classic
🤣
Fab joke
We know.
Is a couple of RodneyPlonkers innit
Excellent opening statement, Evan. I had no clue what the show was about up until now.
laughter is wonderfully contagious and made for such a positivity filled beginning. 😁
The first 4 and a half minutes of this is the funniest Dragons Den moment I've ever seen!
I actually thought it was a good idea... just needed a redesign. I'm sure it would sell really well, especially to older and housebound people. And hey, even to young people who don't like gyms and haven't the space for bulky exercise machines.
This is a great product. I think I will love to have a Gym at home without giving it extra space.
elderly homes would buy out his entire stock. It’s a great device.
Honestly, I would buy it. It would also be good for people in long term physical therapy.
So where was the “prank”?
Yeah really bad tittle
Clickbait ;
Duncan Pranked Peter, Peter Ashley
This is good of the old people or people who have a injury and getting back in to normal
Duncan Bannatyne's demonstration had me in tears, so funny!
Miss Duncan in the show for his spirit and light-heartedness
I don't know how good the business is but one thing I know, I'd love to own one. Maybe I'd take an office chair rather than the arm chair.
“Ok, if you don’t like that, here’s a toaster I invented that will simultaneously toast bread and scratch your gentleman’s area”.
This is by far the best invention Ive ever seen on anything ever.
Did any one else think this was actually a joke/prank and was waiting for duncan to reveal it was a prank to peter?
I thought that too!
Duncan is in pretty good shape but I always find it odd he runs a gym and fitness empire because he seems far more at home in a pub than a gym
Duncan just shaking his head is what i live for
good tear drops.. good ep .. so far so 'Q'... thanks for the upload.. very exciting..
I think it's quite a great concept for the older market. He just didn't get the target market right. The one chair with multiple light exercise functions would be perfect for home physiotherapy and the elderly who don't want to go to a gym.
My late father had a stroke and this would have been perfect for him at home outside of his normal physiotherapy hours in either the hospital or a rehab centre. He would have been able to sit in front of the telly with the exercise bike going or do some light muscle exercises.
The only thing is that it needs tweaking to be more streamlined and less clunky for the setup.
The Bowflex still makes money, and made a lot in its first decade, this is a cheaper to produce more mobile easier home fitness option.
I'm curious where he is now.
I like the concept. I would love a weight bench that doubles as a nice looking furniture
“Calm yourself down.” The absolute King of sass.
Why on earth were they laughing right from the start?
Because of how ridiculous they think his invention is
Seriously?
