"shark tank" is done in 25 different languages, in 41 countries. entrepreneurs come in and pip their business -- >> they're tanglepets. >> -- in the hopes of making it rich and getting an investment from those sharks. and the sharks are very successful businesspeople. and they invest their money in these businesses. >> i'll make you an offer. >> i'll make you an offer.
10:03 pm
>> it's an all-or-nothing proposition. >> "shark tank" has made entrepreneurship cool. >> you're really trying to help people start businesses. and you got to remember that, that's the greater cause of what "shark tank" is. >> we are moving to fridays, february 28th. every entrepreneur that walks down that hall has the opportunity to be the greatest of all time. >> sharks, do you like a pizza? >> we get submissions from all over. >> how you doing, "shark tank"? >> we do open casting calls. >> we're smarty kids. >> we get online submissions. >> we sit in the room. and we'll have a discussion. >> and really, the most important thing is, can we clearly see what the product is and what it does? and can we see the personality of the entrepreneurs? >> and now i'm ready to go worldwide! a hh! >> from the very beginning of the process, it's an environment that's very supportive of them. we want them to succeed and that's all the way through until literally, just before the doors open and they walk down.
10:04 pm
>> i love to stand there and say, "five, four, three, two, small doors," and i cue the little doors, and the entrepreneurs start walking. >> when the entrepreneurs are walking through the door the first time, i'm sizing them up. >> i guess i'm looking for the long shot, the underdog, who i really think is deserving to make it big. >> you know, it can be very nerve-racking being in front of the sharks. when people are nervous, we try to help them. >> i don't worry about their feelings. i care about their money. this is the opportunity to be very successful or fail. it's a human drama playing out in front of you. >> we've seen literally anything happen. people have come out with the dog and pony show, literally live animals as part of their presentation. we've seen gymnastics, dancing, screaming, crying. you pretty much have seen the full gamut of emotions. >> a lot of people never believe in you, man. >> not surprisingly, the sharks have a list of the greatest all-time pitch fails. >> ew! >> ugh. >> yuck.
10:05 pm
>> this is the shortest pitch in "shark tank" history. >> it's only the biggest moment of your life and you're choking on a burrito. >> what else could go wrong? >> you're literally spoking. >> let's show him how haven works, clay. when activated, the wedge-based barrier lifts up using simple physics. this makes your entire door ten times stronger to preventing home break-ins. this is your standard deadbolt. >> the guy's supposed to bust through the door to demonstrate how easy it is to break a traditional lock. >> when you lock it, an experienced intruder can get in in about five kicks. >> they're trying to kick it down. they can't. they kick it once, they kick it twice, they kick it three, four, five times. then all of a sudden, he's doing flying leg kicks, and he does a flying leg kick, hits the door. bam, hits the floor. >> hilarious. if you're going to do a demo in front of 3 million people, make sure the [ bleep ] thing works. >> licki brush is a
10:06 pm
tongue-shaped brush you can finally use to lick your cat, just like a mama cat licks her young. >> you're not going to stick that in your mouth, are you? >> yeah. >> oh! >> oh, the licki brush one, yeah. >> we're going to give each you guys a cat and a licki brush so you can test it out. >> oh, no, you're not. >> ridiculous idea. i mean, to me, no offense to the inventors. i don't see the need to lick your cat yourself. >> people use it and they say this is a wonderful bonding experience with their animal. >> robert can never take that back. >> there you go, nicely done. >> not my proudest moment on "shark tank." i hate myself so much right now. >> so we asked the "shark tank" team what the greatest of all-time pitch successes were and they narrowed it down to two. >> potato parcel is a brand-new way of sending anyone you know a custom message written on a
10:07 pm
potato. >> our company is potato parcel and we mail potatoes, and that's it. >> such a simple product. an old potato that you can send through mail. >> i'm going to make you an offer. >> it took everything i had not to try to just steal the deal from kevin, because it was fun, you know? it's just stupid on a stick. and it was just so stupid. that's why it worked. >> potato parcel is a crazy, crazy idea. and it's one of my most successful. people love getting those potatoes with their face on it. it just shows you "shark tank" is such a fantastic platform to launch even crazy ideas. yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay. >> wine & design was my favorite pitch of all time. >> have a paint instructor show them how to paint and have a couple of glasses of wine, talk about their day. it's a genius idea, it really is. >> bring on the wine. >> this is our lovely instructor, heather, who is going to be teaching you portrait painting today. we have a little bit of help with our figure model, richard.
10:08 pm
come on out, richard. >> such a fun idea, you know, of these painting classes. you think of a painting class, you think of, you know, nudes. >> one of our most popular classes is our "bachelorette package." >> oh, my god. >> what? >> tonight, we're actually going to be having a bachelorette party for lori and barbara. >> there was a guy, butt naked, standing in front of me for an hour and a half. >> there was a big debate about whether or not we should do what we ended up doing with wine & design. at the end of the day, we landed on this idea of the "austin powers" movies, where he was naked but they kept hiding the naughty parts with a strategically placed pineapple, or a strategically placed fern or something like that. >> i think wine & design was shocking, memorable and to be talked about. i mean, the guy came out naked.
10:09 pm
barb, i've never seen you speechless. >> first of all, if you parade a good-looking naked guy in front of you, of course you can't think. >> you bring a naked man into the tank and get offers from the two male sharks. >> i know, exactly. >> wine & design is probably now "shark tank's" most successful franchising business. it's my deal. >> boy, did i have fun. the best hour and a half on the "shark tank" set i've ever spent. >> it's everything i ever dreamed about, i swear to god. coming up -- temper temper. >> you're starting to act like damon, like a baby. >> you, go away. >> the biggest shark attacks of all time. >> it's not the love puppy shark tank. it's the shark tank. >> [ bleep ] you. the new iphone 11 runs on straight talk without a contract and a plan that's up to half the cost of big carriers. with the new ultra wide camera your shareable moments are ultra-shareable.

10:17 pm
>> why not? >> and i'm like, "get out of here, kevin." you know, i'm talking, i'm working here in the hallway. you go away. >> no, no. >> they were all slathering and slobbering over doing a deal. >> never has there been a deal made in the hallway. and never has there been a deal made with one of the sharks with a knife in their hand. >> pavlock was one of the greatest moments of "shark tank," because it is so rare that the sharks get shocked. >> it's a slight electric stick louse that's done while doing an undesired bad habit. simply press the lighting bolt on top of it. >> oh. >> ow. ow! turn it back down! >> pavlok was a pitch that started out strong and made great sense, but the more the entrepreneur talked, it was one of those pitches where the more he unraveled. >> what percentage of the time does it not work? >> it doesn't work if you don't want it to work. >> you're such a con artist. >> i'm absolutely not. >> where are your studies? >> i was like, dude, you know,

in the beginning it wasn't easy to, like, start this company. and there was a lot of times that it almost didn't happen. if target didn't take the chance on us, we wouldn't be in all the retailers that we're in today. but what's really dope, is they helped us with the product line, the packaging... they really, like, changed my life. the reason why it's so important for honey pot to do well is so the next black girl that comes up with a great idea, she could have a better opportunity... that means a lot to me. oh, it's beautiful. so you guys are welcome to use the car while i'm at work. i'll text you a key. how do you text a key? it's technology, dear. i got this. better text it to me. it has to be a smart phone, dad. are you saying i gotta dumb phone? no. it's cool. we'll just do it old school. hyundai digital key; now there's a better way to share. hey, press that button there. only on the all-new sonata. where's the car going? technology, dear. that's technology.

10:25 pm
show me an idea that you've actually started to get some traction with and you just need me to pour gasoline on it. because i have gasoline. it's called money. >> as far as greatest all time for kids, i think when you're judging it, you can't help but look at it differently because they are kids. but i think the criteria is still the same. 12-year-old carson with lockerboard was fantastic. >> this is a lockerboard. >> at only 16 inches long, they fit easily inside backpacks and lockers. and they're good for the planet. lockerboards are handmade and reshaped from recycled skateboard decks. >> lockerboard was a great pitch and i loved that he was trying to do something for the environment. he was impressive, too. >> i'll make you an offer. $65,000 for 20%. >> it's a deal. >> when richard bronson bought into that deal, i thought to myself, i don't get it. but he was enthusiastic and i understand they're doing pretty well with that business. so i guess i was wrong.
10:26 pm
>> "shark tank" was crazy. i was about 11 years old, with, like, all the cameras, like, surrounding me and stuff. i was a little freaked out. but my mom was way more freaked out than me. she was, like, faking the smile and she does this thing a lot where she, like, she says what i'm supposed to say, like, with her mouth like this but she, like, lip syncs me basically. she's like -- my company has grown over 300% after appearing on "shark tank"" and my company is valued at $325,000. so yeah, we're doing pretty good. and i'm proud to announce that i am now partners with wham-o, a huge toy company. i'm so stoked to be partners with them. "shark tank" has taught me to seize the moment. >> i love you. >> i love you, too mom. and believe in yourself. >> tripp with le glue is another great example of a great
10:27 pm
kid-preneur on the show. >> hello sharks, i'm tripp phillips and this is my sister allie. i have the solution to stop those messy breakups. i'm not talking about your love life. >> he was so confident. >> he was kind of sassy. i remember he had a bit of an accent. >> i'm talking about this. >> no! >> that's why i invented le glue. the world's first non-permanent adhesive that just dissolves in water. >> tripp -- he was, i think, 12 years old and he talked like a 40-year-old. i wanted to hire him as an accountant or attorney. >> to use le glue, just apply a little bit to each brick. let it sit. so the next time this happens, you just pick it right on up. and keep on playing. >> so many "shark tank" products are a solution to a problem. and this was a problem he had -- his legos kept breaking. so, he came up with a solution. >> i remember pitching myself to this kid. so i'm going to offer you
10:28 pm
$80,000 for 25%. i had just left 3m, the largest adhesive company in the world, probably -- a week before that pitch. i knew i could take it right over there and it's between kevin and myself. >> i'll give you the $80,000 but you're going to have to come with me to pitch it to the ceo. you're going to have to put on a black suit and tie just like me. >> well, i have hair, so -- >> and this young man -- >> mr. o'leary, we'd like to do business. >> does the deal with kevin. >> congratulations. you did really well. >> kevin! great kid, bad judge of character. >> the kid had chutzpah. there was no question. >> right after "shark tank," it skyrocketed. it's helped us a lot. sales are doing very well. i can pay for college. i say car, my mom says college. currently with kevin and his team, we're in the process of making deals. hopefully we can get a deal with a certain big brick company. fingers crossed.
10:29 pm
>> hands down, my greatest of all time baby shark pitch is cassidy from baby tune. >> aloha, sharks! i'm cassidy crowley. >> and i'm lori crowley, cassidy's mom. >> and we're from honolulu, hawaii. >> which she did by herself. her mother barely spoke. >> when i was 7 years old, my baby sister emily would always play with her spoon, and my mom would get worried that she would stab or hurt her throat. so i invented the baby toon, a combination of a baby spoon and a teether, all in one. >> my whole physical being was, like, overwhelmed. >> what a great idea. i have 2-year-olds at home. i mean, i could see the application right away. i should have probably invested in that. >> and to top it off, she answered every question that got lobbed her way. i felt like she was a 40-year-old woman who had gone through decades of experience of manufacturing and she knew things that my fellow sharks didn't even know. >> so you could change what?
10:30 pm
>> change the durometer so that the -- >> what's a durometer? >> durometer is how you measure the firmness of silicone. for example, if you have something that's a higher durometer -- >> who are you lady? >> exactly. >> she just stood her ground with all these sharks and just blew them out of the water. so, my vote is cassidy. >> i'm giving you $50,000 for 50%. >> you have a deal. >> congratulations. >> come up here and sit in the shark chair. >> how does it feel? >> yay, cassidy. >> the main thing that i was thinking abo when i was starting my company was all really just the experience of learning how it is to run your own company. >> we did think, what if she goes on "shark tank" and does fail? so we were like here, back up plan, we're going to get her a puppy. >> we've been working on trying to get a licensing deal and because lori is such an amazing partner, she was actually able to make that happen.
10:31 pm
i'm very proud and excited to say that we have closed a licensing deal with munchkin. >> we just closed a licensing deal for her that's a sweetheart deal and i think will take care of her and her family for quite some time. >> there are kids on "shark tank" still too young to have their driver's licenses, but they have licensing deals. >> i think it sends a great message to kids that it's great to be an entrepreneur. >> and sometimes that little package, that child, is the reason we love something, because we love them. >> and then hopefully those kids will remember me one day and they'll give me a job. next -- >> i'm known as the daddy of the scrub daddy. >> can you guess the greatest "shark tank" money makers of all time? >> cha-ching! >> shocking. ♪ sifting through a hundred cards, ♪ ♪ you try to find the words say it with a taco pun, ♪
