I know, you thought those crazy kids with their Party Poche, or whatever it was called, was the worst Shark Tank pitch.

Well, here are 10 of the worst:

    I'm constantly amazed by how many bad ideas make it all the way to the Shark Tank!

    Seems like in almost every show, there's at least one boring, un-original, un-tested idea for a product/service that hasn't made any money, and doesn't seem like it has any potential at all. And then they'll want a million dollar loan for a 5% stake in the company.

    Who screens these applicants? lol

    There are tons of good product/service ideas out there, so you would think that every single idea that makes it all the way to the shark tank would be an exceptionally good one.

    Actually, the more I think about it... maybe they put 1 or 2 bad ideas on each show on purpose, just for the added "drama" of the sharks lacing into them, lol.

    "Your idea is horrible... and for that reason... I'M OUT!!"

        I forbid you to go on. Don't ever think about it again. Go on to something else.

        or

        I forbid you to invest in this travesty.

    A squirrel zapper that gives only a static shock?

    This is a bad idea.

    Now put 10 000 volts on it and we're talking.

    I love this show, but there are a lot of ridiculous people. I hate when people over estimate their worth so drastically.

    My favorite was the generator that creates gold as the byproduct. the guy was clearly nuts and only had drawings to back his claims. he could have atleast brought out some sort of empirical data or a miniature model.
