Today we get kick-smarter.
Let's talk about that.
♪(intro music)♪
Good Mythical Morning.
Now, crowdfunding has brought the world a lot of amazing things,
like the Pebble smartwatch, the Oculus Rift,
and a fifty five thousand dollar potato salad.
- What? - But not all ideas can be amazing,
Some Kickstarters and some crowdfunding campaigns
are actually pretty questionable. And we're gonna find out
just how good Link is at spotting a fake one, as we play:
- ♪(synth music)♪ - (Rhett) Nothing's Harder
(Rhett) than spottin' the fake Kickstarter.
♪Nothing could be harder, than to fake a--♪
♪Than to spot a fake kick--♪
- We could have-- - You don't have to make it a jingle.
You know, I feel like we've been overdoing that.
- Yeah. We've been over-jingling. - That's why I didn't do it.
- And now you're doing it. - You can over-jingle.
It's been done by us.
Link, I'm gonna present a Kickstarter to you,
it might be real or fake. You're gonna tell me
if it is real or fake. If you get five of these correct,
you get a special prize, and it's actually the prototype
for a Kickstarter that Mike and Alex are working on.
Are all of these funded?
Or they just were Kickstarter campaigns funded or not?
Some are funded. Some are not.
Okay, hmm. Well that's gonna make this more difficult.
But I'm up for it.
Let's start with this one. Inspirational posters shouldn't just
be for humans. Sometimes your cat need to keep calm,
and carry on too. For fifteen hundred dollars,
this Kickstarter will produce cat-sized, mood-lifting posters
for your feline friends.
Man, a cat in an inspirational poster for humans, is always a good idea.
Even if you don't like cats.
- (laughs) - You better watch.
- (crew laughs) - Better watch out. I'll bite it right off.
It's funny. When you opened your mouth,
I felt coolness come out. Are you chewing gum?
I did earlier.
Like, I literally felt minty coolness, at the end of my finger.
Well, that's normal. My tongue give off that all the time.
I don't know.
Man, right out of the gate, did you make one up?
True.
- (ding sound) - You're right, Link.
- Yes. - Great start. It's called,
- Inspurration Posters for cats. - Gosh, that's a cool title.
There's only two days left, if you want to donate to this one.
Messages include, "Dream your dream." Eugh!
"Paws and be grateful." Paws.
I've got an idea. How about, "Be more like dogs?"
- I told you. - (laughs)
You're really leaning into this hating cats.
Yeah, cat lovers, I'm leaning in.
(crew laughs)
Showers already feel great, but what if they tasted great too?
For just sixty five hundred dollars, this Kickstarter will produce
flavored shower filters, that will make your water
taste like you're bathing in chocolate, bacon,
or a multitude of flavors.
This is so-- Such a good idea.
- (laughs) - If you made this up,
I'm gonna be upset that you put it out into the world
in the context of this game, as opposed to consulting with me,
- and developing a business plan. - Do you think I would do
something like that?
- I think you made this up but I'm-- - I keep all good ideas to myself.
- For my Rhett Inc. business. - I'm angry.
We should have done this, man.
We can still do this, because this is false.
- Wow, Link, you're smart today. - (ding sound)
- (crew laughs) - But that-- Hey!
- What kind of breakfast did you have? - (all laugh)
Come on, man.
Two for two, brother. (laughs)
I love cats, and I'm looking for your vote
- in two years from now. - He's very smart.
This one's fake, but if it were real it would explain why Eddie
always smells like hot dogs.
- (laughs) - Eddie got that hot dog shower.
- I originally had-- - He's back there going like this.
I originally had my cousin, Craig for that one,
- but last minute I changed to Eddie. - 'Cause you looked at him.
I just-- I heard him, and I was, like, I gotta send something
- his way. - Good idea. No more than once a week.
Visible panty line is a real problem, and thongs
are a temporary solution at best. Banish V.P.L. forever,
and embrace Invisible Pantyline. For ten thousand dollars,
this Kickstarter will build and sell invisible panties.
That's one of my favorite words.
I'd like to see those. (makes clicking sound)
Get it?
(crew laughs)
(laughs) I wonder what an invisible panty is.
I have to see it.
That was good, I like-- That was good.
I'm so baffled by this. It just seems so weird,
it has to be false.
- (shouts) Wrong! - (buzzer sound)
- It's real. - What?
And it really, really did not get funded,
it raised one hundred and thirty dollars of the ten thousand dollar goal.
The tagline is--
Take a look at them, Link. That's what they look like.
(Rhett) The tagline is, "Absolutely invisible panties.
(Rhett) "Use them every day. Be sexy and free.
(Rhett) "Even when you're having special women's days."
It just looks like a strategically placed series of band-aids.
Well, what I said is, I think the tagline should be,
"For those who want to scotch tape a napkin to their crotch, but can't."
(all laugh)
But you can.
- That's why this didn't get funded. - Yeah, right.
- I do that all the time, okay? - (crew laughs)
- Who doesn't? - Alright.
Are you tired of online dating?
Does no-one seem to match your interests?
Look no further than Cage Match.
For twenty thousand pounds,
that's currency across the pond, in the UK.
This site will find you a soul mate, based on your opinion
of Nicholas Cage movies.
- Well, as we've-- - Match people up, based on what you think
- about Cage movies. - As we've established in a previous episode,
there are all types of dating sites cloying for your membership.
(mocking) Cloying.
That's why I'm going to say that this is totes true.
- Woah, Link, you're back! - (ding sound)
It is very real, but, sad to say,
- it did not get funded. - Oh!
In spite of the fact that the creator said that if you gave one thousand pounds
or more, he would actually come to your house,
and bring his copy of 'Con Air' on DVD.
- That was literally part of it. - (laughs)
I wish I had known about this, I would have made it a reality.
Wow!
Not really.
It's a decent movie.
Really? 'Con Air'?
Decent.
He had a good run, that Cage man did.
- Long hair. - (crew laughs)
Then he got left behind.
- Does you ferret get cold feet? - Don't have a ferret.
Look no further than these hand-woven ferret gloves.
For four thousand dollars, this Kickstarter will produce
the perfect insulated cold weather gloves to make walking your ferret
that much more enjoyable.
- I've seen ferrets in the snow before. - (crew laughs)
Yeah.
And they always look happy.
(makes flapping noises)
Fake.
You don't think they need gloves, huh?
They (makes flapping noise) through the snow, man.
They're so happy about it.
- Dang it, Link, you're right, again. - (ding sound)
- Yes. - You're on a roll.
Not dang it!
Well, I want you to win, did I not make that clear?
- I want you to win. - Un-dang it.
This one's fake, but if it were real,
there would be a significant chance of it being funded,
because ferret owners have already demonstrated that they are capable
of making at least one questionable decision.
- (laughs) Getting a ferret. - (laughs)
Google ferrets in the snow. You're welcome.
Relationships are tough--
You only got to get one more, and you got three chances.
Relationships are tough, especially when you catch your girlfriend
in the shower with your brother.
For just nine thousand dollars, you can help Steve Nowicki
work through his anger issues by purchasing a billboard
in the center of town that reads: "(makes beep sound) you, Deborah".
- (laughs) What town? - (crew laughs)
This one could be real, but it is real.
Oh, you should have gone with your instinct, 'cause it's fake, Link.
- (buzzer sound) - Oh, man.
Her name was actually Beborah.
- No, that's not-- - (laughs)
You can't--
- No, we don't-- - Okay, good.
- We don't play that game around here. - Okay, okay.
It was just completely fake.
Beborah, though, that's-- If I had a daughter,
that would have been her name.
- Google Beborah in the snow. - (Rhett and crew laugh)
Alright, I can still win this. Got two chances.
To nap, or not to nap, that is the question for the cast
of this all-Pug production of Hamlet. Yes, you heard that right.
For five thousand dollars, Shakespeare's whiniest tragedy
will be transformed into a grand pug-formance.
Notice I said pug in the middle of performance.
You don't like cats; I don't like pugs.
- Like... - They have trouble breathing, right?
Yeah, they (makes oinking sounds)
Yeah, 'cause of the breeding. The breeding leads to the bad breathing.
They shouldn't have done that, and they shouldn't keep doing it to dogs.
Yeah the shouldn't. Well, it's too late now.
They'd have to kill them all. Don't want to do that.
Just let them breathe themselves out.
I hope this is false, man.
And if it's true, I hope it's not funded.
But I'm going with false.
- It's actually real, Link. - (buzzer sound)
- (yells) I'm falling apart. - It started as a joke,
the creator, Kevin Broccoli had to do it once it got funded,
and now he's planning on an all-Rob Lowe production of Les Misérables
called Les Misé-Rob Lowe.
(both laugh)
Is that Spanish?
Oh, gosh, Link.
Hey, one last chance to prove me right.
- To win. - It comes down to this.
- (makes dramatic music sounds) - Why save your bacon grease for cooking
when you could turn it into an island? For twenty seven thousand dollars,
that dream can be a reality.
This Kickstarter will build the world's first island of fat.
There's bacon grease sitting on my oven top right now.
If I kept it for long enough, I could build an island,
and not give this guy a dime.
This is the type of stuff that dreams are made of,
I'm going with (shouts) true.
Make my dreams come true, Rhett.
Are you sure?
Yes.
- You're right, Link! - (ding sound)
- (laughs) - You win. Congratulations.
It is-- This is real.
It's called Fatberg, and it is a fat island
off the coast of Amsterdam. Don't ask me why it's happening,
and I don't think it will happen.
But they wanted it to happen. But what is happening,
- is you actually win, - ♪(fanfare music)♪
- the Fanny pop. - (all laugh)
This is an amazing invention that Mike and Alex are working on,
- and hoping to get funded. - Thank you.
It's a fanny pack that's also popcorn.
(Alex) It's just a prototype.
- It's electrical? - (Alex) Yeah.
Alex just clarified, this is just a prototype.
- (all laugh) - Thanks for letting us know.
Alright, we'll test this out in Good Mythical More.
