Sh*t Entrepreneurs Say (grasshopper.com)

The original "Shit xyz says" are funny because you know people who actually say those things - i.e. my girlfriend has done 90% of the things in shit girls say.

In this you have basically the comic book guy from the Simpsons saying a bunch of buzz words and phrases that wanna-be entrepreneurs might say.

Title should be something like "Shit bad entrepreneurs say"


Web entrepreneurs are a small fraction of entrepreneurs. The Hacker News community seems to miss that point.

I would call it "Sh!t web entrepreneurs say" instead of "Sh!t bad entrepreneurs say."

I expect many web entrepreneurs say or at least believe most of the things in that video. I doubt many non-web entrepreneurs even know what they mean -- not to say they don't have their problems... just not those in the video.


I think that is actually the point?


I think the funnier ones are the truest. This one is more caricature than anything.


I feel vaguely manipulated by this because it is really just a viral video for the site hosting it. :-\


I liked Shit Silicon Valley Says more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR8zFANeBGQ


"Netflix for youtube" could totally get into YC under the "Kill Hollywood" category!


I just love it! One of my friend is doing exactly the same all time! gonna share it :)


When I hear people say this stuff in real life, it makes me worry for them, because wanting to "make it big" is usually not the main driver of success.


Add this for an idea: "Like Apple but 5 years ahead."


Allan Branch is poised to become the next big comedic superstar! His personality really makes this video work. Funny stuff!


It's true that, given enough eyeballs on the freemium content, his Comedic MVP is poised to go viral and kill Facebook.



The last bit about something being posted and tweeted automatically kind of made me nauseous.


I hate the way idiots refer to you as 'my team' or worse, 'your team'.
