Yes, I have no idea.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 13 points 2 weeks ago

Presumably american though

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

They're Pawnstars.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I... uh... don't.

These are the pawnbrokers from Pawn Stars, an American television programme broadcast on the History Channel where they show various antique items and historical artefacts being sold at the pawn shop.

Huh. Alright. I've seen the "best I can do" meme but that's it. OP may be overestimating the show.

Eh I’ve never watched it but I recognized those chins

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I have watched it, but don't recognize those chins

EDIT: You know - I just realized Pawn Stars isn’t Storage Wars, so I haven’t actually watched it…never mind…

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

They’re filed next to each other in my head so that’s excusable

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago

I think the joke is that everyone is now so poor they all go to the pawn shop?

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

That explains why I don't know it. There still exists TV broadcasts and channels and stuff?

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly Star Trek.

Jokes aside, this meme got some real r/USdefaultism vibes.

Best I can do is Duck Dynasty.

Did the Pawn Star folks get all crazy Christian when I wasn’t looking? I read Ricks book on a boring ass shift when I worked at a book store in college and while magnificent prose it was not, he didn’t seem like a bad guy for a pawn shop owner

Not a clue.

Is it Friends?

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmmm. Pawn stars?

[–] Ch0wW@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Correct!

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

In that case, it is very weird, since I have never seen the show and only know it from memes.

[–] maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know, Rick, it looks fake to me.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don't know, Rick... looks fake to me...

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I’ve got a guy….

[–] DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Diners, drive ins and dives through the decades if Guy swallowed.

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Battlestar Galactica, lol

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Whoever they are, they need to eat fewer pizzas.

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Best I can do is "I almost know"

[–] bort@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

was... was OP banned for using an upper case m in the post title?
