These are the pawnbrokers from Pawn Stars, an American television programme broadcast on the History Channel where they show various antique items and historical artefacts being sold at the pawn shop.

Huh. Alright. I've seen the "best I can do" meme but that's it. OP may be overestimating the show.

Eh I’ve never watched it but I recognized those chins

I have watched it, but don't recognize those chins

EDIT: You know - I just realized Pawn Stars isn’t Storage Wars, so I haven’t actually watched it…never mind…

They’re filed next to each other in my head so that’s excusable

I think the joke is that everyone is now so poor they all go to the pawn shop?

That explains why I don't know it. There still exists TV broadcasts and channels and stuff?
