  • Almost positive that, so called "mic" is really a diabetic insulator.

  • apparently no one has ever heard of boom mics.

  • All reality shows are planned out, anyway where's your proof? I think you failed to make a clear point.

  • It is a real shop, just some situations are fake

  • Reality television is a modified and highly influenced form of reality, at times utilising sensationalism to attract audience viewers and increase advertising revenue profits.

  • Comment removed

  • pretty sure its an ipod nano right there.. or a keyring lol

    but yes.. hardcore pawn is fake.

    considering at one of the earlier eps the gun salesman rips off his micpack.

  • its a ipod dumb ass O.O

  • @v1887v an asspod?

  • Im perfectly aware that this show is exaggerated.. but sometimes I wanna watch a mindless show and not think (after an entire day of thinking at work). So leave me alone lol

  • actually what episode is this?!

  • Fucken cheap ass show for broke ass niggas

  • sorru dude thats an ipod, i was in detroit last year an i bought a necklace from this store when they were filming so trust me this isnt fake

  • What you see on camera is different from what actually goes on. i live in detroit and have been here multiple times, they put mic packs on everyone with a item to pawn or sell, not on people taking out loans etc. I've seen people take the mic packs and break em on the ground when walking out. if you lived in the D this is not even close to the everyday activity that goes on here

  • Nooooo!! Now i can't watch it anymore.

  • Everything on TruTV is fake except for the clips you see on World's Dumbest, Live Clips from World Scariest..., and Forensic Files and The Investigators. My favorite show personally is Forensic Files. It's the ONLY time I even turn it to TruTV.

  • I've seen how they film it. They used a boom not clip on mics....

  • They probably recreate stuff that happens in their store.

  • When i watch this show i can tell its fake but i still like to watch it lol

  • Good point about the mics.

  • i don't get most FAKE shows but a disclaimer annoucing a dramatazation of the events

  • Fake or not though, Ashley annoys the crap out of me. I applaud her brother for having the control to not strangle her to death in the back room.

  • Everybody knows its fake, dumbass....

  • Unlikeother TruTv 'reality shows', I don't think this one is a fake. I think they ask people when they come in 'are you going to make a transaction? Do you want to get mic'd? Most people will say no. Plus, this is the hood. In Detroit. In a recession,.Don't you think there are going to be desperate people who are going to go ballistic when they don't get what they need to pay off one of their bills. If you want to compare, watch Lizard Lick Towing--you'll see what a fake reality show looks like

  • the son is so fake , half the time his acting is soooo bad. they create drama just for ratings. but they are making money so what do they care, yes the show is totally fake, but people like it. its like mad tv in a pawnshop. but seth has to be the worst actor in history. ive seen better acting in high school plays.

  • that's a girl?

  • No offense to anyone who likes it but it's so stupid. There is no way that every costumer that comes into a pawn shop in gonna start a fight when they don't get their way. At least Pawn Stars doesn't go overboard when it comes to people getting mad. On Hardcore Pawn every other person acts like a mad man! There is no fucking way. SO FUCKING FAKE!

  • You can often tell which customers are fake.

  • This show periodically includes FAKE characters to boost ratings.... Not surprisingly, most of the idiots who watch this show are clueless.

  • this show sucks cock compared to pawn stars

  • looks like a cell phone or ipod

  • real store but oh yes very fake and set up. People acting like idiots but sign the release forms, cops are never called, Security handcuffs people but then just tosses them out, They aren't even trying to make it look real any more. They "hire" an ex hockey player and OH GEE! Some one comes in trying to sell the same jersey they wore.

  • i noticed the same thing with the hockey guy. that was stupid to me.

  • @doombuggywa - it's funny that you're calling out one of the most authentic stories on there. darren did actually ask for the job and it had zero to do with production. i work there, i know.

  • I'd rather watch wrestling.

  • @Metallimeister good zing

  • @SLAUGHTER2100 Have you heard of BOOM mics you fucking idiot.

    its fake as fuck though obviously

  • fake or not this show sucks !!! the son whatever his name is such a fag , always complaing ,and crying little a little girl ...

  • sometimes the customers look at the camera and actually talk about what just happened. even when there super mad

  • On tonight's new episode, Les and Seth were screaming at each other behind a closed door. Ashley (bless her heart) had her ear pressed to the door, and, I swear, she was so excited that she was actually humping the doorknob. What a sweet girl!

  • It's definitely not a mic. A lot of people seem to think it could be an mp3 player which is possible, but I work security at a major airport and see a lot of people with insulin pumps and this looks like one.

  • This show is Soooo Fakeeee!!!!!!! Several Factors during each episode SHOWS it is fake. And what gets me the Most: Is the CONSTANT FIGHTING AMONG THE TWO YOUNGER MAIN STARS. No Store in American Will Put Up with that much Garbage Between Two Employees In Public (unless they are paid babies)(sorry, babies have a little more respect than I think these two actors do. The Father/Owner has more patience than I ever could with the two main employees. They Would Be Out The Door If They Worked For me.

  • Every time Seth gets his ass chewed out, Ashley has an orgasm. What a loving family!

  • The son is a spoiled fag the girl gets into the custermers life to much. And it is fake.

  • i think it may have been an ipod

  • look some one tell me is this fake or real ?

  • shut up u gay-lord

    offcourse show is fake u dumb anal probe

  • How bout the fact that they always wear the same clothes....

  • I understand what you're saying and I agree. Only crazy, angry people get mic'd.

  • Mp4

  • Its a ipod

  • It really is so fake.. there is no way there are that many people coming in that demanding and they are piss poor actors anyway

  • Ever heard of a boom mic? I would assume they wouldn't put a small microphone on every customer that walks in. That's fucking retarded. A boom mic solves that problem. Did I mention that's standard equipment when filming pretty much anything?

  • learn how to speak correctly you fukn faggot.

  • @1viciousguy sorry he showed you the easter bunny

  • Jews with the last name Gold. lol To bad their ancestors didn't get burned in the holocaust.

  • Pawn Stars is real, Hardcore pawn is fake. Pawn stars waits for something good to walk in the door, they then have the person redo walking in and talking. That's where its scripted. For the most part its real. But hardcore pawn is 100% fake and that's why I don't watch it. TruTV should be FakeTV. The only thing real on TruTV is shows that show real video clips, and cops. That's it. FUCK TRUTV

  • @Dusty696969 totally incorrect. you think a billion people conveniently have awesome items and just happen to be in the area needing to pawn it? please..... fake fake.

  • My dads friend will be on it in may and the producer guy said he would be perfect and told him to act all crazy so it's fake

  • @AGgirly55 How much did they offer to pay him? If you don't mind me asking? I was told producers wait for a crazy looking person to walk in the door and ask them to be in the show. They try to get them to do it just to be on TV, but if they refuse they offer some cash. I hate this show so much for it. Why cant they just film a years worth of real stuff then only do like a 1 1/2 or 2 hour show every year. I would love it then. But its like watching fake ass wrestling.

  • Staged or not, it makes for good TV. I am a big fan, and even though some scenes do look staged or are totally out there, I take it for what it is: Entertainment.

  • I dont think Les and Seth have time to plan shit out,they do run a buisness,there is loads of people in the store all the time.They dont have time to make shit up,sit there and plan shit out with certain people.Ive seen the camera crew have mics on the counter top in episodes and they use boom mics.I dont really care though,i think its entertaining,Detroit is a bad place.

  • lool that girl has been on there before...

  • I kind of liked this show at first, but after a while I realized that that each episode is exactly the same. And Les only acts tough because he's got 300 pound body guards surrounding him at all times.

  • This is stupid...its called consent for being on tv moron

  • I am %100 sure this show is staged.

  • for the record they have to get permission from everyone before they can appear on camera, so maybe they approached her at the door and asked her if she would wear a microphone while they filmed her transaction or something. Plus that's not hardcore proof that the show is fake (not that I'm saying it isn't because i have no idea) but i have seen people act this outrageous before when it comes to thinking they are being ripped off so i'll believe anything!

  • Thanks for clearing up that you are not the producer of this show. I was under the impression that the producer of this show would post a video of his show on YouTube to point out how fake his show is.

  • Comment removed

  • The producers pick and choose the weirdest people And encourage their weird behavior look closely at the credits "reality tv" in my opinion shouldn't have so many writers but the show is entertaining

  • I don't think it is

  • Of course the show is fake!! If it wasnt, there would be an episode that showed Les calling out his kids for the freeloading fucks that they are,, Seth being bitch slapped 20 times for being a ferret looking punk and Ashley going through a box of doughnuts an hour. DUH!!!!! And to top it off, they all act broke and "helping people". OK,, that part of the "story",, where they rip off people in hardships, while making millions,,, is most likely accurate.

  • FUCK YOU CUNT STOP BEING A PUSSY AND TRYING TO LICK EVERYONES DICK. CUZ NOBODYS FALLING FOR IT JEW. SO FUCK YOU.

  • @russiantrams What????

  • Its simple. The producers stand outside and ask people questions and pick out people that they think will be good on tv. They mic those particular people up and send em in. They do the same thing on Pawn Stars.

  • Yeah in another video they showed the camera crew. They have an audio crew with a boom mic I bet that was an iPod.

  • Looked like an iPod to me.

  • My dad says this is real and pawn stars is fake. Im sorry dad *pumps shotgun*

  • you just didnt see it close enough it was her mp3

  • Meh it's a good show, i prefer Pawn Stars myself but their both good shows with enjoyable formats

  • its a fucking ipod(the guy/girl(hard to tell) dose look like 'ipod' from 'the comebacks'......

  • Horrible fake show. Terrible actors.

  • of course this show is fake has the same story every week, black person comes in wants to pawn sumthin for $500 bucks or w/e amount Les only wants to give $100, argument ensues Les and Seth act like there totally bad-asses with security guards around them person gets kicked out of store.

    the only shows that are real on trutv are like most daring/shocking and wold dumbest shows cops and a few others.

  • @koolboi352 my only question to you is have you ever been in Detroit?

  • @koolboi352 the shit makes black people look ignorant... the show is pretty dumb

  • @bmclaurin1 Black people are ignorant and dumb and ugly and cant speak english. You're either delusional or black.

  • @bmclaurin1 black ppl make black ppl look ignorant

  • I don't care if some of the people are fake. I would still come here just to watch it all go down with a bag of popcorn.

  • It's a real shop and the employees portrayed are certainly the ones that actually work there and own the business. However Tru-TV is pretty notorious for scripting and staging their "reality" shows. Operation Repo is one of the more widely known examples. I'm sure all the drama sales actually happened but they were re-enacted for the cameras and in Tru-TV fashion are way over the top.

  • I just watched this show for the first time and had to come online to see if it is real.. that big chick is a horrible person... ugggg. Show is shit.

  • the show could be better if they had good actors

  • Either way they're assholes and the show annoys the fuck outta me.

  • the show is set up not all is real, i was on the show, i wasnt tring to be on it either, i had a ad on craigslist, some lady called me, asked me if i wanted to be on it, told me when to come and wat time, i walked inside, signed some papers, got wired up, did a interview, talked to seth on camera about selling my item, he low balled the fuck out of me, i said no thanks, did another interview after asking what i thought about the offer.. after i was off camera they asked me if my friends wanted

  • @tonytapilo to be on the show, they were looking for people to bring something ridiculous, get mad and scream

  • you people bitching at slaughter2100 are all little faggots that watch to much tv

    just sayin

  • yea go fuck your self you proved nothing but you being a total ass

  • you know what fuck all of you mother fuckers repo shows, real, and hardcore pawn, real. so fuck all of you who says this is fake!!!!!!

  • its a tv show people.get it TV SHOW

  • Who gives a shit if it's fake. I still get a kick of watching typical nigger behavior on tv . It should also serve as niggerology 101 for the rest of America

  • Everyone knows its fake, but its entertaining, so who cares?

  • The repo show is 100% fake and I know because my friend was on the show

  • if you visit the store theres camera crew everywhere looking for interesting people or fights... they will then hook the people up with a cord. Ok, sure there maybe a few made scenes but thats tv.. . you didn't have to upload this video.. im pretty sure everyone here knows that no tv show is "real"...

  • its true the show is fake n staged all the time. i also noticed those big mics on another episode n since then i knew it was fake. n yea they hardly there at the store my friend went in there n sed he didnt c les or his kids

  • FRRRRR.

  • @Akarazariel u are the dumbass. Come on everyone knows it's a real pawnshop, I've been to it. But u have to admit the show has it's moments when it's staged. Now they might be reenacting something that took place earlier, but people flashing breasts every other show come on. Go in there u will hardly see les or his kids they are always gone but they are always there during the show. The scenes are fake. Ur right

  • @cnuffs Its scripted reality like most of these shows on Tru tv. It's a real shop with real people but the situations that occur on the episodes that we see on tv are fake and made only for entertainment.

  • @cnuffs yes i know this because ive called the store so many times and they are never there lol

  • Now even if this wasn't real u dumbshit, which I actually know it is, everybody whould still watch it, because thats a damn cool show. Oh and by the way, try searching the shop on Google and you'll even be able to find it on google maps!

  • @SLAUGHTER2100 Hey uhh dumbass, evidently you don't know what direction mics, or anything about communities that are poverty stricken. People get crazy like this when they live in a low income area, and basically most drop out due to criticism/other reason. This show is real, the reason that lady had a mic on her is because she was a possible customer they wanted to get good audio on, then she went ape shit.

  • fuck those fake ass bitches on this pathetic show.. these fuckers les the shit bag, his gay son, and his fat ass, retarded daughter can suck my balls1

  • that looks like an Ipod not a mic

  • That's a woman?!

  • I think the conflict is real but the producers do everything they can to encourage it.

  • dude...who cares....have you ever watched a wrestling match...it's entertainment....I dont care how it got in front of my eyes...its there and I chose to watch it...30 times...I get it!

  • my response to the title of the video: no duh. reality tv is unreal.

  • It's a MP3 player have you ever heard of Overhead Mic's? They are on a long pole above there head.. So really Define "Fake"

  • Its a MP3 Player DICK!

  • thx for the post...but I think you need to define "fake"..yes it is a reality TV show and they are all staged to some extent. More than likely people are selected as they enter the shop and asked if they wanna be on the show, then they probably sign something. They probably discuss with the producers what their intent is and how they might react if they don't get what they want..then they let the good times roll!! I'm just guessing, but that seems to be the most obvious way of looking at it.

  • Fuckin snitch

  • Obviously there is some kind of a screening process by the producers of the show just outside the doors and people who have a potentially controversial problem get micd or maybe a customer may have an peculiar peronality and the producers have a hunch it may yield good footage. That's not the same as FAKE .However , the mic does give incentive to a customer to exaggerate his or her reaction to an outcome that they may not agree with. Not the same as being FaKE or scripted.

  • THIS GOES OUT TO WHOEVER THINKS ANY OF THESE REALITY SHOWS ARE REAL.

    THINK ABOUT IT. DO YOU REALIZE HOW BORING THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WERE'NT STAGED. NOT ONLY THIS SHOW BUT ALL REALITY SHOWS. WAKE UP PEOPLE. YOU ARE SO EASY TO FOOL AND CONTROL.

  • The reason I hate TruTV is because they cant make one show without adding the lamest fights ever to every fucking scene. Its like TV for fucking idiots.

  • Comment removed

  • Real or not, I'd like to fuck Ashley in the mouth!

  • All the "reality" shows on Tru TV are fake, Operation Repo, Southern Fried Stings, Operation Repo **Extremely fake, Repossesors can not continue if people start retaliating, the must leave if things get out of hand**.

    Idk why it's even called Tru TV. It should be called "Some Shows Are Tru-TV

  • They put the mic pack on random people

  • Fairly sure it is real. I wouldn't trust black people with my stuff, even if it was broken.

  • @TheJoshVideo Wow, You just proved your a racist. You think all black people act what you see on television? Do us a favor go join the KKK or the Neo Nazi Skin Heads then burn in the ninth circle of hell. Because DOUCHEBAGS WHITE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ONLY ADDS TO THE HATE.

  • @Gekkou25 Come one why did you even respond to that. He wrote that to piss people off. You get mad he wins.

  • @HesterDW Your right he's nothing but trash.

  • WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT YOU MEAN NO DISRESPECT? WHO GIVES A SHIT? WHAT ARE THEY GONNA COME GET YOU FOR SAYING THEIR FAKE?? This is the state & mentality of the people of our once great nation,........ the damn reality TV isn't even real anymore & people would rather watch this fake garbage then a great show with good acting/storyline,..... I just don't understand it,.... but it's really dumbing down America,... Oh & I in no way mean any disrespect cuz I support what you do ;-)

  • Hardcore Pawn = FAKE

    Pawn Stars = REAL

  • you dumb fucks the shows not fake. how do i know this? because i live in detroit and have been to american jewelery and loan before. theres a millions cameras and BUILT IN MICROPHONES. thats why you can hear everyone so clear. you waisted your time with this video jackass

  • @Brandynmccartney2 The word is wasted, not waisted you dumb fuck!

  • @Brandynmccartney2 the shop is a real business but the show is staged. most shows on tru tv are staged.

  • @Brandynmccartney2 Your dumb. You don't know Greg Inscoe. He was the guy who dressed up in a shark suit. He lives in Cincinnati and so do I. He went down there because he got asked to and he did that stunt. Also he was a guest speaker for one of my classes. And he told us that. So #Dumbass

  • @Brandynmccartney2 Nah, the store is real an all , but all the "drama "  is staged . They are fake as hell , just like that repo show... So its now all about Fake reality TV ?

  • @Brandynmccartney2 Actually they use boom mics, mic packs, and 3 camera men. You can fill out a casting form on the tru TV webpage if your interested in being on the show. Some of it is staged, kinda like jerry springer but they do show real transactions as well. The millions of cameras are security cameras, and no they do not have built in microphones scattered around. You don't believe everything on TV is real now do you?

  • real tv needs to change the name of their channel to something like, try and make you think it's real tv.

  • No doubt, this show is fake as hell. Nobody who comes in the shop knows how a pawn shop works. They all demand retail price or more for their crap or they are gonna kill everyone and burn down the store. Give me a break.... If I was black, I would be pissed off.

  • wait... that was a girl? O.o

  • I'm glad you did this video SLAUGHTER2100. THE SHOW IS TOTALLY FAKE! THEY CAST PEOPLE ON SITE & THEY HIRE ACTORS.

  • my reality shows are deadliest catch,gold rush,pawn stars,storage wars on a&e,survivor when it on,moonshiners,and a few more.

  • actually 99 percent of reallity tv isnt fake.maybe twisted to make it seem better but not fake.

    that said,every show i see on "TRU"tv is fake!repomen and all of them.

  • that was a ipod O.o

  • No duh it's fake is REALITY TV 99% of shit like this is fake they need drama and stuff to make it intresting for ratings..i see it all the tv..like in that one show IRT where there was a ongoing "rock slide" you can clearly see people on top dropping the rocks. haha what a load of crap.

  • @ChrisBenoit4evar same is said about fiction and nonfiction, people often get them mixed up. lol

  • ipod

  • Of course it's fake, don't think you're a fucking detective for figuring it out...How fun would it be watching regular people sell diamonds to a store without any drama? God dammit you people are dumbfucks.

  • They put a MIC on every person of interest that comes in the store, if someone looks or sounds particularly ignorant or they have a good story they get one and they get to see the owners. Every other schmuck sees the 9-5ers. Not to the mention that they tell you most of the footage is a re-enactment of things they say have happened in the past. So I guess good job on being anal retentive?

  • @kn0wr3zz your a moron.. google it it says its a Reenactment.. meaning it happened before.. but on the show those are paid actors

  • @macasdude And thats what I said you stupid fucking twat. Learn to read and stop bugging me.BTW you can't use Google as a reference unless youre 12.

  • @kn0wr3zz "They put a MIC on every person of interest that comes in the store" MORON ITS ALL FAKE IDIOT, they dont put a mic on the real customers, use your brain you fukin moron. only the paid actors have a mic, retard

  • @macasdude I weep for the future. You are denser than bag full of hammers. I'm sure glad I could stir up your obviously IQ deficient brain long enough to almost make a complete sentence. The only thing that is fake here is your ability to research. Tell me, whats it like in those 'special' classes you take? Do they let you play with scissors yet?

  • @kn0wr3zz lol did i make you cry? haha your so pist right now i thought it was funny to see you reply to comments people made, so i figured since you have no life and sit on the computer all day i would make u look stupid till my music finished dloading, Mission complete! don't go and take your life because i made you so mad.. your pimples will go away one day and you can leave the house and maybe get you a boyfriend.. and he can give you nice things that your dad and mom never gave you :)

  • @macasdude The biggest problem here is that you think you've won something. You believe you have made some kind of point or articulated some sort of meaning across the internet. What that tells me is that you a socially defunct person. And those very insults you used against me actually apply directly to you. You had a Mission when you got on the interwebz today to insult me?! Then that means I win! And your just a pathetic scrub who I use for entertainment. Thanks for the laughs kid!

  • @kn0wr3zz Damn bro, you mad?

  • everything on tru tv is fake ha ha

  • I'm sure anyone that talks to the main cast is mic'ed. That doesn't mean it's fake or planned. I lived in the ghetto and there are a lot of people that are truly that pathetic and uneducated.

  • I worked as a pawnbroker and that is exactly how people react, you meet the rudest people there. You have to work on a pawnshop to see how it reallly is to work in one.

  • @adiluvsTH i really must say you are one of the very few people out there that has worked for or as a pawnbroker...i presently work for a pawnbroker...ive just really learn to deal with peoples god like mentality...

  • duuhh every show is fake and scripted. even reality shows cause my teacher was gonna be on one and then they gave him a script and he told them, "if this is a reality show how come i have a script" then the people told him, "everything is scripted"

  • i dont think they put mic packs on everyone that comes through the door. im a huge fan of this show

  • and the naked people?

  • That show is so damn fake. It's gay as hell.

    But fat fuck Ashley does need to be punched in the mouth for real.

  • @jessie74 yo momma is gonna die you asscunt

  • @jessie74 its real, LES TOLD ME SO
