I think it was "Shark Tank" in the USA. Unforuntatley, the thing that makes this sketch brilliant is the way they lampoon the presenters. You'll not appreciate any of that. (Now, I'm going to watch the video, and find out you just said the same thing!!) The guy with the ears is Evan Davis - look him up!
The thing is, all the dragon impressions are great but the big eared presenter impression is amazing. He has a slightly lazy eye and he does it so well in close up. It's special.
So Dragon’s Den premiered in BBC Television in 2005 and is now up to season 19, it is based on an original Japanese show. Entrepreneurs are invited to pitch a business idea/invention/product to five wealthy business people ‘the dragons’ in the hope of getting one or more of them to invest cash into that business in exchange for a stake in that business. Having presented their pitch the entrepreneur is then interrogated by the dragons who will dig down into the finer details like asking them things such as sales figures, gross and net profits, projected sales, how the business is currently financed, do they already have other investors and so on. after a thorough grilling each dragon will decide whether to invest or not. There are some instances where entrepreneurs have delivered a good pitch, has survived the grilling from the dragons and then TURNED DOWN a dragon’s investment. That takes balls! That’s usually the case if the dragons have asked for a larger % stake in the entrepreneur’s business with which they’re not happy to give away. Shark Tank in the USA is a spin-off of Dragon’s Den first airing in ABC in 2009 😊
Try out the Victorian version of Dragons Den that they did, where inventors try to get investment for a toilet & other modern inventions. Also try the Scousers alphabet that's really good.
Great clip Boomer. If you want a suggestion on a new comedy clip show then check out "Facejacker" one of the Best to come out of the UK in the last 10 years in my opinon. A good starting one would be "Dufrais At The Baseball Game | Facejacker " the (8.47 minute clip" then "Brian Babonde Does Art | Facejacker " I have been going back to this comedy for the last 10 years and nothing has bettered it yet.
We had a golden time of comedians and all the ones you mentioned from that time still make me chuckle :D Vic and Bob around the same time...remember the nightmare ;)
'Off with their heads!' doesn't originate from Alice in Wonderland, but is rather an idiomatic phrase associated with a King or Queen's command to decapitate a presumed enemy of the Crown. It's also associated with republicanism and opposition to the Crown ('turning the tables', so to speak). The earliest recorded use of the term 'Off with his head', in literature, is Shakespeare's Henry VI Part III, 1592: "Off with his head, and set it on York gates; So York* may overlook the town of York." *The Duke of York.
I'm sure everyone's said it already, but never mind: watch some of the British Dragon's Den, and then watch the sketch again. You'll laugh twice as hard! Here's a clip from around 2012 (ish) with the version of the "dragons" (plus one more) shown in Harry and Paul's skit: ua-cam.com/video/lF3z2RdWbaM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dragons%27Den I'm actually not sure which is funnier.
Dragon's Den essentially has been a show in England since 5000 bc. Kings or equivalent would invite engineers to present ideas before the court and were deliberated upon by the Crown. Yeah, Dragon's Den UK precedes the US version by quite a bit 😂
Guys .. Alice in Wonderland was a book by author Lewis Carroll .. and yes films were made -‘ off with their heads’ is an expression far older than the Victorian book
King needs to see older Enfield - Stavros, Loads-a-money and things like the Slobs (“I wanted a brown baby”, the “brown Fiesta”, “winning the lottery”, etc)
Whitehouse was behind Enfields work long before he became known in his own right. Whitehouses first show (i think) was The Fast Show. Only after that did people become aware of the link with Enfield. Loadsamoney was played by Enfield but devised by Whitehouse and possibly Higson.
It’s funny how my reaction was exactly the same to the hip hop halphebet. I literally cried! It was the unexpected juxtaposition of the kids alphabet and MF. Not literally funny, but the absurdity sends you into convulsions!
I want to suggest something different to what you usually watch please look up Victoria wood performing the Ballard of Barry and Freda, it's 30 years old but still cracks me up
To truly appreciate the character parody in these sketches you really need to know the people from the real show. The guy with the ears is Evan Davies. An economics "expert" who presented and narrated the show at that time.
Harry and Paul old fashion public information films are fantastic. "Woman know your limits." you will wet yourself, let the queen watch it she will laugh to at its absurdity.
Haahaa, watch the real world show to appreciate them destroying the real world Dragons and the host (Evan Davis). I saw an interview with Harry and apparently Evan won’t talk to him.😂
Most episodes of the real Dragons Den is really just as funny imo. So much more entertaining than the us spin off Shark Tank...Ur right about Paul n Harry but I do remember them having a little falling out once upon time when Paul left him to do 'the fast show' after doing 'Harry Enfield n Chums' etc saying they were stealing ideas n copying each others comedy sketches n Paul not getting enough credit for his input on Harrys shows etc if I remember correctly tho they're defo all good with each other now.
I pretty much did the same when I first saw this sketch. 😆 Harry is better with Paul certainly. Paul can make Harry's material come to life and take the ideas up a notch. I would put Charlie Higson up there too from a creativity aspect. Although I think Harry and Charlie clash over writing material. For the public though it's all dynamite. 👌
King boomer Us Muppets need you to watch one episode of dragons den not recorded x then rewatch one of these I can't wait to see your reaction when you have seen the dragons properly etc they nailed this so hard it's perfection 😂 The UK is home to dragons den Japan had something similar before us but a totally different dynamic etc Shark tank etc are just different takes on dragons den and or the Japanese one
All the people here are really funny caricatures of real people on Dragon's Den the show and they nail all of them.
Yes. I concur.
Dragons Den (UK) started in January 2005. The USA version first aired in 2009. The shows were based on the Japanese show The Tigers of Money in 2001.
Tigers of money WTF 🤑🤣 No wonder they changed the name
Ah, so. 🤓
My version is called "Investment Hippos"
@@ChaseOakley-rw2lx Mine is called "financial wisdom badgers"
You need to watch the original dragons den to get the layers of the impressions too, it will make it 10 x more hilarious! 😂👍👌
You know, you get the comedy straightaway, and simply laugh. That's great. I have seen other reactions where they start questioning what it's about.
Harry & Paul are legends 💜 -x-
So are Hale and Pace.. on the buses, etc
The guy with the ears is Evan Davis who is the narrator and presenter. Do an image search you will see the likeness.
I think it was "Shark Tank" in the USA.

Evan Davis
Evan Davies is also a BBC journalist and radio 4 news presenter and looks pretty well like that. Lovely bloke
Kathy Burke is great. You should take a look at her acceptance speech when she won best comedy actress at the British comedy awards. It's funny.
Deborah Meaden is spot on! lol
The 'I saw you coming' sketches from modern Harry and Paul are great. A bit more savage than their other stuff but great satire.
Gimme Gimme Gimme is a shout luv, Kathy Burke in another of her great comedy roles.
Nah, it's fkin shite, c'mon love

Harry elevates anyone he works with.
This has become one of my favourite channels very quickly!! Would love to see some Come Fly with Me and Little Britain clip reactions.
Dragons Den is the British version of Shark Tank..or maybe the other way round. The bloke with the big ears is Evan Davis the show host.
The Kitten Stomper is my favourite Harry and Pauls Dragons den skit!
same!!!!
The hip hop one got me too lmao 😂
You need to start watching The Fast show if you love Harry and Paul. You need to watch full episodes. Its hilarious.
Rising Chromatic pattern ......Nice !
These are incredible, but their Dragon's Den with the 'Cat Stomper' is the funniest one they ever did. Watch it, if you haven't already.
Try out the Victorian version of Dragons Den that they did, where inventors try to get investment for a toilet & other modern inventions. Also try the Scousers alphabet that's really good.
man, if you knew these real life characters, you`d know even more just how genius these dragon den skits are.
Dragons Den has been going for 17 years, it has been remade around the world sometimes with a different name. It was inspired by a Japanese program.
Please please do Harry & Paul “quare” and “benefits family”
Great clip Boomer. If you want a suggestion on a new comedy clip show then check out "Facejacker" one of the Best to come out of the UK in the last 10 years in my opinon.

Armstrong & Miller
Mitchell & Webb
Reeves & Mortimer
The Two Ronnies
Morecambe & Wise
To name but a few comedic genius sketch duos.
Paul Whitehouse used to be a plasterer. I don't know if that's how he met Harry, but they used to drink in the same pub with Charlie Higson.
My fave Harry & Paul characters were "The Old Gits"!
Second that
Nnnnneeah...bugger off!
Nyeerrr you old bugger 🤣🤣🤣
Please do some more Harry Enfield/Harry & Paul! :D
Agreed
lol there's quite a few Dragons Den spoofs by these guys, they're awesome
We had a golden time of comedians and all the ones you mentioned from that time still make me chuckle :D Vic and Bob around the same time...remember the nightmare ;)
That wer proper funny the hip hop bit. Paul Whitehouse has been labelled the world's best actor

I'm actually not sure which is funnier.
And here's the presenter in action for ear clarification:

Here's a classic British DD fuckup for you: ua-cam.com/video/EQsRF5PGyyk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dragons%27Den
It's comedy gold all on its own.
Long ago you asked what "and chums means" a chum is a friend - Harry and Chums is him, Paul and Cathy.
Hey king boomer , I recommend reacting to Freddie Starr and his Vincent routine , its comedy gold , unique and hilarious !!!
Dragons den started first in the uk in 2005 and in 2009 the usa started their franchise of the show and called it shark tank.
Dragon's Den essentially has been a show in England since 5000 bc.
Kings or equivalent would invite engineers to present ideas before the court and were deliberated upon by the Crown. Yeah, Dragon's Den UK precedes the US version by quite a bit 😂
Pure brilliant stuff with intelligent Harry Enfield and faking Dragons Den and laugher though and though 🤣👍
I approve of your seagull impersonation. 😍😍😍🤣
I am with you on this. it was fun all along, but THEN - Hip Hop Halphabet totally threw me off the edge
Guys .. Alice in Wonderland was a book by author Lewis Carroll .. and yes films were made -‘ off with their heads’ is an expression far older than the Victorian book
Try these two trying to impress. ‘The Dragons’ (U.K. version of ‘Shark Tank’). With their: ‘Kitten Stomper”
There's something about english comedy and duos right? Harry and Paul, Mitchell and Webb, Armstrong and Miller, Fry and Laurie.....
You might want to wipe your desk down . The DEA might be watching
Can you imagine a sitcom staring David Mitchel and Harry Enfield?
Oh wait, there is such a show. Upstart Crow. 👍
So funny and so on the money. The guy who presents Evan does have big ears but his eyes are even weirder, they look in opposite directions.
King needs to see older Enfield - Stavros, Loads-a-money and things like the Slobs (“I wanted a brown baby”, the “brown Fiesta”, “winning the lottery”, etc)
Whitehouse was behind Enfields work long before he became known in his own right. Whitehouses first show (i think) was The Fast Show. Only after that did people become aware of the link with Enfield. Loadsamoney was played by Enfield but devised by Whitehouse and possibly Higson.
Nonsense. Whitehouse was in the Harry Enfield television programme and Harry Enfield and chums long before The Fast Show.
You're both kinda right
@@AndrewHalliwell probably, my point is that people didnt realise the importance of Whitehouse with regard to Enfield
Check out the others including the Kitten Stomper... And the Children in Need/Red Nose Day Specials featuring the real Dragons & Alan Sugar. 👍
It’s funny how my reaction was exactly the same to the hip hop halphebet. I literally cried! It was the unexpected juxtaposition of the kids alphabet and MF. Not literally funny, but the absurdity sends you into convulsions!

Ha ha, Dragon’s Den was even in Canada before the US got Shark Tank. That’s where a couple of the Sharks came from.
You need to watch the Harry and Paul Dragon's Den Kitten Stomper sketch
You should take a look at Tony Hancock, The blood donor sketch . Is old but bloody brilliant !!
The missing page is better
the slobs With Kathy Burke is worth a watch
To truly appreciate the character parody in these sketches you really need to know the people from the real show.
The guy with the ears is Evan Davies. An economics "expert" who presented and narrated the show at that time.
You need to check out the football match sketch. "Association Football - Harry Enfield - Mr Cholmondley-Warner". Hilarious.
Harry and Paul old fashion public information films are fantastic. "Woman know your limits." you will wet yourself, let the queen watch it she will laugh to at its absurdity.
Harry and Paul - I Can't Believe It's Not Custard 1 and 2
Haahaa, watch the real world show to appreciate them destroying the real world Dragons and the host (Evan Davis). I saw an interview with Harry and apparently Evan won’t talk to him.😂
Please look up Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke sketch on the old ladies with the plumber. You will love that one.
This has to be the longest you have died laughing at any video you have done.
I met Kathy Burke.. great lady
Spot on 100% accurate 👌 🤣🤣🤣 great reaction beardy boy general .......
thr best one from these for me was the "kitten stomper"
Im sure someone will recommend it but there was a comic relief of this with the actual dragons which was pretty good
Brilliant clip. I hadn't seen this one.
You might have seen it but kathy burkes oasis impression is brilliant..
Watch the 'kitten stomper'
The big eared presenter is the funniest part, his name is Evan Davis. Google him and you'll see how great it is.
6:00 Evan Davis...or Dobbie, one of those.
I think you need to record your own version of the Hip Hop Halphabet
Cant wait for another Friday night dinner
When's the next friday night dinner going to be out?
You've got to find the kitty stomper one of these
Paul (and others) do The Fast Show.
It’s the best.
"yo, -Walter White- Harry Enfield, M----- F-----!" - Jesse Pinkman (probably maybe once said that, or maybe not)
Dragon's Den is like Shark Tank .
Look for the "Kitten Stomper" Dragons Den skit
Most episodes of the real Dragons Den is really just as funny imo. So much more entertaining than the us spin off Shark Tank...Ur right about Paul n Harry but I do remember them having a little falling out once upon time when Paul left him to do 'the fast show' after doing 'Harry Enfield n Chums' etc saying they were stealing ideas n copying each others comedy sketches n Paul not getting enough credit for his input on Harrys shows etc if I remember correctly tho they're defo all good with each other now.
George Santos is taking notes!
Lee and Lance were great
Check out Kathy Burke in TV series, Gimme Gimme Gimme
The hip hop altherbet was hilarious
Thats Alphabet to those who can spell!
@@annother3350 haha yeah it wouldn’t auto correct, I’m a gen X
Hahahaha the intro 🤣🤣🤣😭
You will love this bud.
UK comedy 😂❤😂
Hi, you should try episode 1 from the best bits of Bottom, series two!
King boomer your next reaction should be.
Lee Nelson's well good show hes a funny guy
Yes as most programs the UK puts out is adopted by others..sometimes not as good.
You really need to do the kitten stomper please?
I pretty much did the same when I first saw this sketch. 😆
Harry is better with Paul certainly. Paul can make Harry's material come to life and take the ideas up a notch. I would put Charlie Higson up there too from a creativity aspect. Although I think Harry and Charlie clash over writing material. For the public though it's all dynamite. 👌
Most of Harrys "material" was written by Paul.
Which Civil War, English or American, because there’s some great facial hair in the ECW!!
Theo's nose 😂
Read the Alice books K. They're proper good.
King boomer
Us Muppets need you to watch one episode of dragons den not recorded x
then rewatch one of these
I can't wait to see your reaction when you have seen the dragons properly etc they nailed this so hard it's perfection 😂
The UK is home to dragons den Japan had something similar before us but a totally different dynamic etc
Shark tank etc are just different takes on dragons den and or the Japanese one
i would like to see you react to some queen songs or queen live aid
Kitty stomper! :)
Absolutely our british comedies are the best 👌
Your reaction has made my day……..sorry my year, hysterical lol…..😂😂😂
