The 'I'm Rick Harrison and This Is My Pawn Shop' meme originates from the opening monologue of the History Channel’s hit reality show 'Pawn Stars,' which first aired in 2009. Rick Harrison’s iconic introduction became an internet sensation around 2016, primarily as a viral copypasta that users would post in comment sections to surprise unsuspecting readers. The monologue captures the essence of the show—negotiating for items with a 'story and a price'—and has since evolved into a versatile template for highlighting unpredictable situations, lowball offers, or simply celebrating the nostalgic absurdity of late-2000s cable television.
