Line #21 YMMV/PawnStars


1	* HarsherInHindsight: Rick purchased a rare Audemars Piguet Arnold Schwarzenegger watch that was a tie in for ''Film/EndOfDays'' for $32.5 thousand dollars. In the after deal stinger, the seller said he was going to put the money into [=NFTs=] and crypto currency. He's probably regretting that after the crypto market crashed in 2022.
2	* MemeticMutation:
3	** Opponents of the show are fond of summarizing or referencing it as, "Best I can do is <insert absurdly low amount>." For example:
4	---> ''Change for a dollar? 25 cents is the best I can do.''
5	*** A Spanish-language variation of the meme is "Te doy [amount] y me estoy arriesgando." ("I'll give you [amount] and it's a risk for me.")
6	** "Let me call in an expert."
7	** Around August 12th, 2016, the intro to the show started becoming a popular meme, similar to the John Cena meme in which a clip would be cut off with an obscenely loud, "I'M RICK HARRISON."
8	** "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/those-bastards-lied-to-me Those bastards lied to me.]]"
9	** "That's an insult to the Pez community!"
10	** "Mr. Brown and I got along famously."
11	** For Spanish-speaking countries: "[[https://www.lifeder.com/no-se-rick-parece-falso/ No lo sé Rick, parece falso]]".[[labelnote:Explanation]]"I don't know, Rick, it seems fake". An ImageMacro from a conversation between Chumlee and Rick about a particular item (paired with a line that was not actually spoken in that moment) that became memed to infinity, mainly applied to things that seem too good to be true or questionable arguments in a discussion.[[/labelnote]]
12	* RetroactiveRecognition: Two of the experts the shop uses, Rick Dale and Danny "The Count" Koker, have since gotten their own shows, ''Series/AmericanRestoration'' and ''Series/CountingCars'' respectively.
13	* SeasonalRot:
14	** In the 2012 episodes, apparently, having people bring interesting items to the store and having Chumlee do stupid things isn't interesting enough for the audience, so the show gets a tagged-on plot line of Corey wanting to be a partner in the business or he's leaving the store. The scenes with Corey voicing his anger at not being made a partner are overacted and clearly played up for the cameras. If someone had told Corey, "Okay, take that job," Corey would have shat himself.
15	** "Someone stole my lunch," a story line where Rick is mad that someone has been stealing his lunch.
16	** The Old Man's pennies - a tacked-on story about how the Old Man has hidden several buckets of pennies in the store. Corey and Chumlee are playing basketball in the warehouse and just happen to notice a car doesn't look right, so they investigate and find some of the pennies. One significant problem with the episode was that the buckets of pennies were ''heavy''...and found in places such as high shelves where the old man -who is an old man and not in the best physical shape- would have had a great deal of difficulty putting there.
17	** An episodic storyline involving some sort of buffoonery (on the part of either Corey or Chumlee, naturally) seems to be norm de jour for the show in the last few seasons.
18	** Davey Deals in a later season seems to be the show's ultimate expression of Seasonal Rot.
19	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
20	** The theme song sounds a ''lot'' like AC/DC's "Back in Black", doesn't it?
21	** The tune often heard in the trivia sections sound similar to U2's "New Year's Day". Another song sounds similar to either Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" or Rod Stewart's "Hot Legs".
22	** This is actually quite common in the show, especially when dealing with any merchandise or memorabilia related to famous actors, musicians, TV shows or movies, as it would cost a fortune to license out the genuine music. Best heard when they bought the ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' filming script - a clone of the Bond theme is used.
23	* TearJerker: The “A Treasure Remembered” special, aired a few days after the Old Man’s passing. Rick himself has clearly been crying his eyes out and several times gets choked up over the loss of his father.
