If startups put their voluntarily donated money where their mouth is, it might sound like this. Most Kickstarter projects are bullshit and we're here to help you spot them. They might throw out buzzwords like vertical integration and....vertical integration. There's always that one weird looking guy and no one seems to really know what they're talking about. But they want your money! GIVE IT TO US.

This video is a joke/parody! We think Kickstarter is great. I have used it for my own projects and donated to many successful projects that I was proud to be a part of. That said, there are lots of lame projects that never get completed, or are a huge letdown to the backers and it's okay to laugh about it.

[@TheKeyofAwesome]

Seems legit- take my money!

[@aliafarah6582]

Lol

[@omgchomp]

Barely Political thanks for the shout out guys! I'm a big fan

[@bigedude]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@yoimosan]

"I'm ugly as hell! Why am i back on screen?" AHAHA

[@ByGm3]

Vertical Integration!

[@JasonAnton]

That last vertical integration part had me laughing. Very funny.

[@stevenmautone]

This is hilarious! I know so many Kickstarters that this would have been perfect for!!!!!!!! #verticalintegration

[@NothingNearly]

Wow! It's been a long time since I've seen one of your videos. Glad to see you are doing so great. Congrats for landing on Kotaku as well!

[@omgchomp]

thank you so much!

[@LazeBlaz3]

Now, do "A Bullsit Product: The Movie" on Kickstarter, for even more irony!

[@AprilEfff]

I'm gonna just be that friend that cheers you on but would never buy your bullshit product! Sorry bout it... (Now I'm gonna get hate if ppl don't watch the video)

[@MarzJonp]

1:05 - 1:10, 2:02 - 2:06 - I lost it here. This guy is my favorite! Hilarious non sequitur. ^w^

[@eliasthompson]

Excuse me as I use this as a template to launch my own Kickstarter.

[@omgchomp]

60% of the time it works every time.

[@AustinLegendz]

Vertical Integration?! OHMEHGURD SEEMS LEGIT.

[@BootyBot]

there are some badass motherfucking ideas on kickstatter (Occulus rift, project eternity) but this is still hilarious.

[@ApacheSavage0904]

Oh man im donating!!!! Cant wait til your product releases! Vertical Integration too! A must have!!

[@user-zh5sv3op3n]

The fact that you guys sounded so serious made me lol ;D

[@Immajeanyus]

I just need to donate 10k. I just. I gotta.

[@SilvermaniaShow]

GOOD

[@omgchomp]

THANK

[@BookProX]

Fact: If your business is 100% BS, you can sell it as manure and still make money from it. You just need the right mindset marketing team set in place. :)

[@Kashmir731]

Total Biscuit would love this

[@evilwillhunting]

“When it comes time to deliver, you’ll get nothing but lame excuses as the delays pile up over the years. Well blame our distributor! Well talk about manufacturing issues that probably aren’t true! All because we blew half the funding on new cars and houses before we realized we woefully underestimated how much this would actually cost and are realizing we are in way over our heads! Well communicate less and less and eventually take down our website and hope you’ve accepted that you’re getting nothing!”

[@TheWavingGuy]

There seems to be a problem, there is no link to the actual Kickstarter page for me to donate. Have you already reached your goal? I would really love to contribute to this and it seems that you are really dedicated and that this will be an AMAZING product. If anybody knows the link to the page, tell me ASAP.

[@LordVltor]

...and with a better recital than many italian films! :D

[@fabricegosnet9569]

I seriously can't stop laughing..... bravo from France ;-)

[@omgchomp]

+Fabrice GOSNET hahaha thank you so much for watching! we have a sequel to this video coming out this week :D

[@Jesskellya]

Well my concern is you didn't talk about shipping. Total bogus video. So do you, or do you not ship your bullshit to Canada? Will there be an obscenely up-charge that amounts to twice the products worth to ship to Canada? If not, I won't take your bullshit.

[@T0rche]

loll love the ugly guy at 1:05 XD ... it's funny cuz he's kind of like the socially acceptable form of "ugly"...... the kind of "ugly" we all want to hang out with like Zach Galifianakis lol... (we say he's ugly but he's just funny looking)

[@JimmyisaGeek]

If funding is unsuccessful will there be an IndieGoGo campaign?

[@omgchomp]

yes. always.

[@eloisejknapp]

YES. This is perfect and so freaking true. Well done! =)

[@NarutoUzumaki2142]

Really, now. That was funny, thank you for the laughter in the morning. :)

[@omgchomp]

you're welcome :)

[@mojojojo787]

This looks exactly like the #kickstarter campaign for #tile

[@SylversVolpe]

At the end of the day it comes down to backers themselves. If you do your homework and research properly (something you should always do when money is involved) then you have a slight chance of backing a failing or deceitful project. There are some amazing projects out there that have either already paid off or are in the works with a lot to show for, it'd be such a waste of you miss out on all of them because you're too afraid to take a chance. Still, it's your money so.. whatever floats your boat.

[@tk9397]

Frankly this is actually first time I was thinking to actually DONATE..... Ahhhhh who am I kidding noone gets me money except tesco :D

[@hug0905]

Man, this Kickstarter makes me want to buy this product, so I donated all of my familie's money. Ur welcome.

[@omgchomp]

hug0905 thank you!!

[@hug0905]

***** my fav part of the project is the vertical intergration..............

[@BlondeEskimo]

you should actually make this a kickstarter and see how it goes

[@voveve]

Where can we fund this?

[@lordcoyote2000]

This is so funny! You're delivery was spot on!

[@omgchomp]

thank you so much!

[@B3astdog]

HERE TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!

[@RandomRants]

Eh... When banks routinely screw everyone, KickStarter and IndieGoGo (among others) emerged as modern, free market solutions to a real problem; the lack of venture capital for individuals with ideas. Don't get me wrong. I get the joke. There are a lot of bad kickstarters. However, I feel like it's an excellent way to democratize innovation. #anarchy

[@RandomRants]

***** That's interesting feedback. Makes me think a kickstarter type site with percentage based returns, as opposed to little "prizes" for investors, might benefit everyone. ©2014 facereplacer Someone give me money to make this idea happen.

[@Woodshadow]

***** I'm not sure what kickstarter products you have been looking at or investing in but the only ones I have ever invested in are ones where my investment is a preorder for the product.

[@TheFrattak]

this is simply amazing and crazy at the same time

[@a.evansrn107]

Lol! I am preparing for my launch and this was so funny! Thank you...

[@MforMovesets]

My favorite reward für 1000$ I´ve seen yet was having dinner with the devs. Oh wow.

[@psalmsofplanets0722]

I was watching a blog about moths in cherios and the chick was cute so i went to creep on the channel. Then I saw this on the front page and laughed my ass off because it's completely true and actuate to probably at least 50%, if not more, of the successful kickstarters.

[@Zuflux]

My thoughts on the Gamestick. Haha, great.

[@numberpi5473]

I'm throwing money at the screen! Why does my Bullshit Product not come out of my DVD drive?

[@cr9pr3]

except those cases where the product is not bullshit at all, but just something for a consumer niche. Or done by an indie-team. That does not imply that these things are inherently "bullshit", does it? Some of those things are not meant to be mainstream, but focus on the interest of a certain niche like a lot of those arduino compatible electronic projects that originated there. There is bullshit, but there are also honest and passionate people trying to bring their ideas to life. I can't say I like the generalisation in this video.

[@Farlandir]

Well . . . You almost sold me, but I want to hear more about vertical integration. And more Handsome Dave! :} Great video!

[@happy_camper]

This is hilarious and sadly accurate. (ALSO EVERYTHING YOU DO/ARE INVOLVED IN IS GOLDEN ***** )

[@pawedziedzic3250]

What's the difference between selling product and getting money from it and getting money before making the product?

[@MforMovesets]

Wow it's also an honest YCH video.

[@rjvepr]

"Useless Can" is a fresh example)))

[@keithmpire]

The ugly guy made me laugh. I think you're okay, buddy!

[@omgchomp]

he's a good sport.

[@user-eg4xi6vo9z]

Cool! How can I pledge and have one? I've been looking for vertical integration for years.

[@shoopdahoop2221]

I have teh best kickstarter idea EVAR: Since Cloud Computing and Android gaming seem to be the hip and cool things these days... why don't we make an Android console that STREAMS YOUR ANDROID GAMES... FROM THE CLOUD!

[@jjho8]

This is brilliant and to true!

[@omgchomp]

+Justin Ho thanks for watching! :D

[@rockhoward224]

Brilliant

[@tigerija]

Best ever!

[@thatistheplan]

XD

[@lunseisleidee]

But you're not ugly at all, drunk guy! You look cute. VERTICAL INTEGRATION.

[@jayshartzer844]

A sound argument. I will take 10 of your finest, my good sir and madame.

[@magusheart]

What about 100,000 doge coins? What does that unlock?

[@SempiternalScientist]

OH MY GOSH, TECHIE HIPSTER IS SO PHIL FISH. This is going to be Kingdom: Deliverance in 5 years time XD

[@MrSmiles51]

Did I miss something? Where is the link to send the money?

[@lanceseidman]

Take my god damn money!

[@lil----lil]

Where is your donate link? I mean it.

[@FerdinandJosephFernandez]

Man, even their performance is better than mine

[@TheONOTech]

VERTICAL INTEGRATION

[@dualscreengrant]

Malo Mart! Buy it now if you're smart!

[@genericyoutubechannel24801]

What happened to the hot kid that used to be in all of kyle's videos? these new people are the absolute worst

[@lizzies.4018]

Kickstarter doesn't bother me nearly as much the scams on GoFundMe. Nice production value in this video though!

[@omgchomp]

thanks so much for watching!! :D

[@responsabilitachecambiano]

Vertical Integration, obviously, as I didn't think about it before!?

[@visagu5801]

but... will there be vertical integration?

[@Ekifox]

I would donate for sure

[@smorgasbord26]

"Hey remember old videogames? Werent they the best. Big evil publishers dont make em like that anymore. Thats why we want your kickstarter money to make something that you think is your childhood! Coming errr ...soon Nostalgia The Game

[@HaouCloudAC]

Spot-on xD

[@Heter0z]

Omg I'm dead of lather

[@tylerttinsley]

lets crap on people trying to do things. thats way better then trying to do anything ourselves.

[@omgchomp]

well, I did make a video. so.

[@JoshuaACNewman]

Sick burn.

[@tylerttinsley]

***** You did! it's a pretty good video. while I appreciate the parody, it panders to the kind of online haters that make the world a bad place for creativity. i mean look at the you tube comments for this thing. you found the one thing you tube comments can be positive about and thats negativity. Given you are skilled at creating. Putting support for this ignorant hate out there feels like your stabbing other creators in the back. eh whatever it's a funny video.

[@omgchomp]

Tyler Tinsley If anything I hope it would encourage people to make better kickstarters about products that actually matter. I honestly don't think that what I made is cynical/negative, it certainly wasn't created out of those feelings in me, nor do I think it is ignorant or hateful. I absolutely support other creators and as I noted in the description, I think kickstarter is great and I have backed a lot of really great projects that I was happy to be a part of. But there are bad ones. And bad stuff deserves to be made fun of. I don't think pointing out a negative aspect of kickstarter means I have a completely negative outlook on kickstarter.

[@JoshuaACNewman]

The thing is, the stuff you're talking about in this video are Kickstarter *successes*, in that either no one backs the bullshit, or they make a Hail Mary backing and figure that if it comes out, then hooray. Anyone backing on the premise that they have a 100% chance of getting the thing they want when they want it, isn't very familiar with Kickstarter. I don't think the money-fool separation market is what makes any project fly.

[@deviousPants]

And don't forget vertical integration!

[@lucamatteobarbieri2493]

Shut up and take my money!

[@LiamDDimeStone1]

This is the kinda bullshit I need, I pledge £100!

[@eian]

This video is hilarious. xD

[@Rodgerinho]

Hahaha, ah, that's a shame, kickstarter is actually really good and the products certainly aren't all bullshit. But I have heard of some that bombed and let people down, even Hank and Jed's "Doraleous and Associates" was ridiculously deceitful in meeting the deadlines they set, a year past the date, openly advertising a month's roadtrip to Vegas spending the money, and other creative projects taking precedence in that time. But by and large Kickstarter is a safe, good place to buy something unique

[@Simon.fletcher.li1]

SOOOO GOOD!

[@SigilArts]

Legitimately worried.

[@omgchomp]

about?

[@dudddeeeee]

Where is the kickstarter page link

[@thancreed]

What about vertical integration?

[@lunk2k]

hilariously true for most products

[@r0nnieM]

Ugly guy has a cute smile ...

[@WKmugen]

Vertical intergration.

[@cleshayedm]

True true, made me laugh.

[@kickstartereffect7362]

Is Kickstarter the next big thing or just 'bullshit'? Any Kickstarter backers or creators watching this? It's funny, but true? Help me find out what role kickstarter plays in my crowdfunding research at www.thekickstartereffect.com

[@sniperpupper616]

this gives me The Onion vibes LMAO

[@pirrofra]

La Gentaglia ha preso il controllo dei commenti! ALL HAIL BILLY

[@rlw5116]

Check is in the mail...maybe.

[@MrSimpsy87]

La Gentaglia è anche quì ;)

[@omgchomp]

what does this mean?

[@tomdonovan30]

Guys! You forgot to add your Kickstarter page link! How can I throw misguided money at your feet?

[@viktormaslennikov03]

Owesome!

[@roidroid]

Don't normally approve of this kindof snarky bullshit. But this was low impact, tasteful and not particularly negative. Surprisingly good video, i expected to turn it off but instead it gave me a smile :) From a kickstarter fan, who just got burned by the Oculus Rift Facebook buyout thing, but still thinks crowdsourcing is wonderful. Thx for the video guys

[@gomboo4mayor965]

I liked the part where they said Vertical Integration.

[@giorginho1994]

so where can i donate?

[@ReignShadow71]

SOMEONE SAID THE THING

[@bluexco]

You guys probably should have made the ugly guy ugly.

[@giorgiomanieri]

I will pay for it
