Look - by the time he gets it cleaned up, makes a nice display, finds a place to put it, pays his employees and overhead, and sits on it for likely several years, he'll be lucky to make anything!

He's smug, and it's an unearned smugness. He's living an easy life given to him by all the hard work from his Dad and Grandfather, yet he acts as if he is above it all.

So let's recap what happened tonight on Pawn Staged.
- The most miserable old man in the world thinks nothing of sending Chum AND Corey to another city for food.
- They decide to be naughty and take the old man's truck. The old man must leave the keys in the ignition.
- The beautiful truck which was just completely overhauled breaks down. Of course it does.
- Chum and Corey begin walking, because evidently the vehicle which was carrying the film crew also broke down.
Is that about it?

The changing POV shots were also egregiously phony.
I was shocked that Corey was not a doosh tonight. No smirking or eye-rolling. He was actually fairly polite to the guy with the Castro car.

Show jumped the shark long ago.
The shame is I really used to enjoy it before the completely sold out.

Did you guys see the blond on American Pickers? Wow I would like to do awful things to her.
If all of the stories her dad was telling were real too, his life is more interesting than Forrest Gump.

Now we'll go ahead and craft an entire episode around one of the most unlikeable sleazeballs ever seen on television.
CHECK PLEASE!

People still watch this? How many times do you need to see Rick wheezing, the Old Man squinting, and Corey struggling to breath through his neck fat?

Corey lost a ton of weight (due, of course, to lap band surgery -- not good old discipline), but I still tune in to see that awesome roundhouse handshake of his.

Craig sure takes an awful lot of glee in deconstructing the customer's artifact.
Why did they keep saying "the big game", and only "the big game" instead of the Super Bowl? (And they said it over and over and over again).

Corey said "Super Bowl" a few times when he was looking at the KC/GB game program.

So inside that coffin was totally the sleep drool of the guy who brought in it, right?

Greasy 'Davey Deals' goes to McDonald's...
"May I help you, sir?"
"Yeah, gimme a Big Mac and large fries."
"That'll be $6.59."
"Ehhhhhh.... I'm thinking a buck and a half."

His fake in-credulousness is also pretty good. He tried so hard to be shocked that his Fonzie picture was missing.belljr said:

I wonder exactly how that trademark thing works. They clearly were very careful to not say "Super Bowl" in that scene in the office. Then Corey says it several times when looking at the program from the first title game. Could it be as simple as not being allowed to refer to it by name in context of the upcoming game, but it's okay if you're talking about a past Super Bowl? Weird.

Well, it was filmed weeks ago, and they kept mentioning the Chargers... maybe it wasn't the Super Bowl they were referring to? Maybe that's their "out" to claim that the whole thing wasn't scripted...

Rick mentioned the Chargers as his favorite team when his useless son questioned his passion for football.
ETA: and then Rick could not name Ryan Mathews.

Was in Vegas last Friday and stopped by the pawn shop, the second time I've been there. First time didn't see any of the main guys but there were some cool items that had been on the show. This time actually saw Chumlee come out behind the counter, talk to people and allow for pics.

No Rebecca, but this slime gets an appearance in two out of three episodes.
C'mon, Rick!

Plenty of roundhouse handshakes from Corey tonight. Even to the blonde chick.

Corey: "I'll go up to four hundred and I'm not paying any more, though.... I'M REALLY NOT!"
Blondie: "Six hundred and you have a deal."
Corey: "I'll pay you five."
The guy stands his ground like no other.

Odds that Corey knew anything about Bob Hayes before he found out the jersey was coming in to the shop?

The dude with the VW bus looked about ready to slug Rick's expert. He was really pissed at the low estimate.

Smells like chicken
no way someone pays 1 million for a hendrix guitar, seems silly even at auction

Even if it sells for a million, after commission he's taking home $650K. Lot of risk to take that it goes up to that high.
A few years ago the NFL was getting their panties in a wad over businesses using the words Super Bowl referencing an event they were having. If I had to guess, you can use the words to describe an item related to game (Super Bowl tickets or game jersey) but not your own event. here's a link that might explain it better.

It's always amusing to me when the customers get pissed at the appraisal of the expert, like the miserable old guy with the gun last night. "Well I disagree strongly with that estimate!!!"
Oh, you disagree, do you? Go sell it somewhere else.

Exactly. Or, "I get you think it's worth more. My problem is the only guy I know who would buy something like this from me is the guy who just walked out the door saying it's only worth a few hundred bucks. If my buyer says it's worth $500, I can't buy it from you for $3000 to sell it to him."It's always amusing to me when the customers get pissed at the appraisal of the expert, like the miserable old guy with the gun last night.

Show is much weaker when Corey and Chum are doing the deal -- I find that I am more entertained when Rick or the Old Man are the main point men on the sale.\
Corey is OK but not my favorite -- but watching Chum do a deal is tortuous and unwatchable (makes the show seem even more scripted than it already is, which is saying alot)

I don't watch much anymore, but the Old Man always seemed like he was definitely a con artist in another life. He makes the other lowball offers look terrific.Show is much weaker when Corey and Chum are doing the deal -- I find that I am more entertained when Rick or the Old Man are the main point men on the sale.\
