I made it through about 10 minutes of this show. Terrible.

Then again, I'm really not a fan of Kevin Smith.

God, they are such dicks to Minh or whatever his name is. It's pretty clear from his facial expressions that he's sick as Hell of them fucking with him but can't do anything about it. I dunno, I would fire that one dude, myself.

Yeah Kevin Smith is useless on the show. It's pretty obv that while it's not scripted, they are told to be dicks to that Ming guy. And beardy is being a dick on TV because they need that Comic Shop Cunt kind of personality too. Every guy on the show is a scripted stereotype.

The customers are good though. They're exactly what you'd expect from people trying to sell their shit. I was telliing my mom that this is what people think. They hold on to all of this useless shit expecting it will be worth a ton of money but it's not.

So yeah Pawnstars with Comic Shop employees.

Pawnstars is White Trash Antiques Roadshow.
However, Liefeld is an enigma wrapped in a pouch-filled, muscular, footless conundrum.

The best part was the other guys making fun of Ming, they gave that guy a ton of shit :lol: I'll continue to watch mainly because there is nothing else on after TWD goes off on Sunday nights anyway, it's good for background noise while playing on the computer.


Yeah that was the best part.

I enjoyed it but there's a reason I don't tend to watch reality shows.

Naw, I've heard some of their podcasts from before the show and they've always treated him like crap. :D

There's kidding around and then there's just being a dick and practically everyone there is dick to Ming and it's not even funny. I did like how that old man gave the guy that looks like the illegitimate brother of Alan Moore a hard time over being a dick to Ming in the first episode. It's not that I'm a fan of Ming. The only Ming I'm a fan of is Ming the Merciless but that's aside from the point. I just don't like to see one person get ganged up on like that and if I were Ming I wouldn't put up with the shit.

Exactly.

He was such a prick for smashing those plates off the other table, then even after that old guy made him pay for them he still bullied some of the money back after he left.
