    Hardcore Pawn is absurdly fake. Like, it doesn't even remotely try to be real like other fake shows (see: Storage Wars). It's utterly unwatchable.

    I'm sure a lot of the items that go into Pawn Stars are plants, but at least the info the drop on it is pretty interesting.

    Hardcore Pawn is the funniest show on television. It's not fake, that's what Detroit is like all day everyday.

    I've no doubt that Detroit is a shithole but it's painfully obvious that the people on that show are actors, and terrible ones at that.

    It makes me want to empty out my junk drawer and take it to the Pawn Stars and ask some ridiculous amount of money, and they'll be like "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS PENNY IS WORTH?!" and make 8 million dollerz.

    I like how you learn things while watching pawn stars. Hardcore pawn is a blantantly fake show that uses a pawn shop as a stage for conflict. It still is entertaining but I prefer pawn stars by a longshot.

    Just a side question that ive been saving for a perfect opportunity: Does anyone else picture a kid with a speech impediment saying "porn stars" or "hardcore porn" everytime you hear "pawn stars" or "hardcore pawn"?

    Yea Pawn Stars is super fake but at least there are usually pretty interesting things that are discussed. Same with Storage Wars.

    I like Pawn Stars because you can actually learn something about the items, even though the entire cast of that show are fucktards.

    Unless you have a '43 copper penny in there chances are they're worth about 1 cent.

    Good sir, and I pose a counterquestion.
    Did everyone else just google "Porn Stars" and "Hardcore Porn" to see if there's been a porno remake/parody of these TV shows?
    ....just me? Okay.

    Really? I think the head guy is pretty likeable/not a fucktard (not the old man.)

    The pawn stars shop in Vegas was pretty well known as having the most eclectic range of stuff, I know people that used to go there 20 years ago just to look at all the crazy stuff... It would not surprise me is it were close to 100% legit now... Everyone wants to bring stuff in to get on the show

    It's location was surprising. From the show I thought it'd be on the strip, but it's in the ghetto. Weird. I guess it's just camera work to make it look more glamourous.

    Apparently some parts of Pawn Stars are real. Just that the interactions they show already happened and are staged.

    Wicked Bump...

    I happened to catch a Hardcore Pawn marathon recently, and had these real vs fake discussions with my wife. We decided that the scenes with the bouncers are probably real (read: less staged) than those where they aren't around. They can really take some people down.

    Staged or not, I prefer Pawn Stars because of the history of the items that come in, especially old war relics and such. And most of the people that are shown aren't ghetto and starting a fight.
