Shark Den, just use it as a catch phrase "so it's sharks den" every time before someone is thrown into a tank full of sharks

Which one would you rather poo poo in? I'd say Dragon's Den because the poo poo will just mix all in the shark tank and then you'll be swimming in ur ownn poo poo

Shark Tank's name and production do a lot more to emphasize that they want us to admire them for being cut throat assholes.

Dragons den is better because it taps into some exotic orient vibe wrt usage of the dragon implication. It's very important people with money are shrouded with mystery.

Never heard a dragon expert say some poo poo like, "Well, actually, dragons aren't nearly as aggressive and dangerous as people believe. We are a much bigger threat to them than they are to us. There are very few fatalities caused by dragons in any given year, while our actions continue to deplete their numbers."

Only reason you can't go to your local fish and chip shop and get a big old bit of deep fried dragon is cause people already snacked on them all to extinction back in the middle ages.

Sharks survived for a reason. :colbert:

I would never eat a reptile. They seem like they'd be gross. Except for that one species of turtle that was so delicious that it got eaten to extinction within decades, I'd try that.

I'd eat a human before I ate any species of lizard.

They go into the dragon's den to get some of its treasure.

Shark tank makes no sense. sharks don't even have treasure.

Mostly every country weirdly has their own name for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons%27_Den#Versions

My favorite so far going down the list:

Always found it interesting watching the US shark tank with the knowledge that Mark Cuban is like 10-100x wealthier than every other shark on the show (all the others are in the same 'arena' wealthwise), adds good context to how they interact with each other

i actually didn't know that. knew he was the most famous cos he's involved in an nfl team or something?

having watched some of both shows i find the culture differences quite interesting. shark tank is edited to be all about sob stories and becoming rich via the american dream. people valuing their businesses at millions and millions of dollars.

dragons den is more boring overall probably imo, but a bit more realistic. there isn't as much focus on the entrepreneurs life stories. and a lot of the time it's like a guy invented some gizmo in a shed and is asking for £20k for like 30% so he can make more to sell lol.

My favourite bit of Dragon's Den is whenever they say "This business sounds great, and all your numbers are excellent. Just get a bank loan, the fact you are even asking me for investment is incredibly suspicious".

OK dragons, here's my idea: a tank to hold your sharks, that fits perfectly into your den!

The camera scans the faces of each of the panel's billionaires. First Lori, then Barbara; then over to Robert. Suddenly, Mark Cuban's face lights up; he smiles! He leans back and closes his eyes, clearly enjoying what's happening.

It looks like another contestant has arrived to earn the approval of the people on the panel. Welcome to another episode of...

i think dragon's den is a better name for a show aired in the UK and shark tank would work better most other places
