5 Kickstarters You Won't Believe Exist

Today we are smarter. Let's talk about that. ♪(intro music)♪ Good morning mythical. Now, crowdfunding has brought the world many amazing things, like the Pebble smartwatch, the Oculus Rift, and a fifty-five thousand dollar potato salad. - That? - But not all ideas can be surprising. Some Kickstarters and some crowdfunding campaigns are quite questionable. And we'll find out how good Link is at spotting a fake one, as we play: - ♪(synth music)♪ - (Rhett) Nothing is harder (Rhett) than spotting the fake Kickstarter. ♪Nothing could be more difficult than faking a--♪ ♪Than detecting a fake kick--♪ - We could have... - You don't have to turn it into a jingle.

You know, I feel like we've been overdoing it. - Yes. We've been jingling too much. - That's why I didn't do it. - And now you're doing it. - You can make too much jingle. We have done it. Link, I will present you a Kickstarter, it can be real or fake. You're going to tell me if it's real or fake. If you match five of these, you'll get a special prize, and it's actually the Kickstarter prototype that Mike and Alex are working on. Are all of these funded? Or were Kickstarter campaigns just funded or not? Some are funded.

Some are not. Okay, mmm. Well, that will make this more difficult. But I'm willing to do it. Let's start with this one. Inspirational posters shouldn't just be for humans. Sometimes your cat needs to stay calm and move on too. For fifteen hundred dollars, this Kickstarter will produce cat-sized posters that will lift the spirits for your feline friends. A man, a cat in a human inspirational poster is always a good idea. Even if you don't like cats. - (laughs) - You better watch. - (crew laughs) - You better be careful. I'll bite it off. It is funny.

When you opened your mouth, I felt a coolness coming out. Are you chewing gum? I did it before. I literally felt a minty coolness on my fingertip. Well, that's normal. My tongue emits that all the time. I don't know. Man, right off the bat, did you invent one? TRUE. - (ding sound) - You're right, Link. - Yes. - Great start. It's called Inspirational Posters for Cats. - God, that's a great title. Only two days left, if you want to donate for this one. Messages include: "Dream your dream." Phew! "Pats and thanks." Paws. I have an idea.

How about "Be more like dogs"? - I told you. - (laughs) You're really leaning towards hating cats. Yes, cat lovers, I'm leaning in. (Team 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, which will make your water taste like you're bathing in chocolate, bacon, or a multitude of flavors. This is so... What a good idea. - (laughs) - If you made this up, I'll be mad that you put it out into the world in the context of this game, instead of consulting me and developing a business plan. - Do you think you would do something like that? - I think you invented this but I... - I keep all the good ideas to myself. - For my business Rhett Inc. - I'm angry.

We should have done this, man. We can still do this, because it is false. - Wow, Link, you're smart today. - (ding sound) - (crew laughs) - But that... Hey! - What kind of breakfast did you have? - (everyone laughs) Come on, man. Two for two, brother. (laughs) I love cats and I'm looking for your vote, two years from now. - He is very intelligent. This is false, but if it were real it would explain why Eddie always smells like hot dogs. - (laughs) - Eddie took a hot dog shower. - I originally had-- - He's back there going like this.

I originally had my cousin Craig for that, but at the last minute I switched to Eddie. - Because you looked at it. I just... heard it and thought I had to send him something. - Good idea. No more than once a week. The visible panty line is a real problem and thongs are, at best, a temporary solution. 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 a clicking sound) Do you understand? (crew laughs) (laughs) I wonder what an invisible panty is.

I have to see it. That was good, I like... That was good. I am so baffled by this. It seems so strange it has to be fake. - (screams) Bad! - (ring sound) - It's real. - That? And it really, really didn't get funded, it raised a hundred and thirty dollars of the ten thousand dollar goal. The slogan is: Check them out, Link. This is what they look like. (Rhett) The slogan is: "Absolutely invisible panties." (Rhett) "Wear them every day. Be sexy and free. (Rhett) "Even when you have special women's days." It just seems like a series of strategically placed Band-Aids.

Well, what I said is that I think the slogan should be : "For those who want to tape a napkin to their crotch, but can't." (everyone laughs) But you can - That's why this wasn't funded - Yeah right - I do that all the time, okay? - (crew laughs) - Who doesn't? - Okay. Tired of online dating? No one seems to match your interests? Look no further than Cage Match, the coin from across the pond. , in the UK. This site will find you a soul mate, based on your opinion of Nicholas Cage movies - Well, like we've-- - Match people, based on what you think - about Cage movies.

We established in a previous episode, there are all kinds of attractive dating sites for your membership (mocking) Gooey. That's why I'm going to say that this is totally true. - Wow, Link, you're back! - (ding sound) It's very real, but unfortunately, - it didn't receive funding. - Oh! Even though the creator said that if you gave him a thousand pounds or more, he would come to your house and bring you 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 happen.

Wow! Not precisely. It's a decent movie. Actually? 'Air-conditioning'? Decent. He had a good career, that man Cage did. - Long hair. - (crew laughs) Then they left him behind. - Does your ferret get scared? - Don't have a ferret. Look no further than these hand-knitted ferret gloves. For four thousand dollars, this Kickstarter will produce the perfect insulated gloves for cold weather to make walking your ferret that much more enjoyable. - I've seen ferrets in the snow before. - (crew laughs) Yes. And they always look happy. (makes flapping noises) False. You don't think they need gloves, huh?

They (make flapping noise) through the snow, man. They are very happy about that. - Damn, Link, you're right, again. - (ding sound) - Yeah. - You're on a roll. Damn! Well, I want you to win, didn't I make that clear? - I want you to win. - Damn. This one is fake, but if it were real, there would be a good chance it would be funded, because ferret owners have already proven that they are capable of making at least one questionable decision. - (laughs) Get a ferret. - (laughs) Google ferrets in the snow. You are welcome.

Relationships are difficult. You just have to get one more and three chances. Relationships are hard, especially when you catch your girlfriend in the shower with your brother. For just nine thousand dollars, you can help Steve Nowicki overcome his anger problems by purchasing a sign downtown that says, "(beep sounds) you, Deborah." - (laughs) What town? - (team laughs) This one could be real, but it is real. Oh, you should have followed your instinct, because it's false, Link. - (ring sound) - Oh, man. Actually, her name was Beborah. - No, that's not... - (laughs) You can't... - No, we don't... - Okay, fine. - We don't play that game here. - Well well.

It was completely false. Beborah, however, that is... If I had a daughter, that would have been her name. - Google Beborah in the snow. - (Rhett and the team laugh) Alright, I can still win this. I had two opportunities. To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question for the cast of this all-Pug production of Hamlet. Yes, you heard right. For five thousand dollars, Shakespeare's most plaintive tragedy will be transformed into a great pug performance. Notice I said pug in the middle of the performance. You do not like cats; I don't like pugs. - Like... - You guys have trouble breathing, right?

Yes, they (makes growling sounds) Yes, because of playback. Breeding leads to bad breath. They shouldn't have done that and they shouldn't keep doing it with the dogs. Yes, it shouldn't. Well, it's too late now. They would have to kill them all. I do not want to do that. Just let them exhale. I hope this is fake, man. And if it's true, I hope it's not funded. But I'm going with false. - It's actually real, Link. - (ringing sound) - (screams) I'm falling apart. -It started as a joke, the creator, Kevin Broccoli, had to do it once he got funding, and now he's planning an all-Rob Lowe production of Les Misérables called Les Misé-Rob Lowe. (both laugh) Is that Spanish?

Oh my god, Link. Hey, one last chance to prove me right. - Gain. - It all comes down to this. - (dramatic music plays) - Why save bacon grease for cooking when you could turn it into an island? For twenty-seven thousand dollars, that dream can come true. This Kickstarter will build the world's first fat island. There's bacon grease on top of my oven right now. If I kept it up long enough, I could build an island and not give this guy a dime. This is the kind of stuff dreams are made of, I'm going with (screams) truth.

Make my dreams come true, Rhett. Are you sure? Yes. - You're right, Link! - (ding sound) - (laughs) - You win. Congratulations. It's... This is real. It's called Fatberg and it's 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's happening is that you really win, - ♪(fanfare music)♪ - the Fanny pop. - (everyone laughs) This is an amazing invention that Mike and Alex are working on, - and they hope to get funding. - Thank you. It's a fanny pack that's also popcorn. (Alex) It's just a prototype. - Is it electric? - (Alex) Yes.

Alex just clarified that this is just a prototype. - (everyone laughs) - Thanks for letting us know. Alright, we'll try this on Good Mythical More. Thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing. Do you know what time it is. -Hello, I'm Ron. - And I'm Kelly (both of us) And we're from Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania And we just got engaged. (both) It's time to spin the Wheel of Mythology.
