(Nods to Dave for the thread title!)

My kids love this and I know several grown ups that love it too. Why?!

Its a bunch of red necks arguing with another bunch of rednecks over a storage container full of crap! My main issues are....

a)it is more set up than American Wrestling
b) I refuse to believe that they all just happen to know the value of everything they get in a bin, just off the top of their heads
c) I dont believe that anyone would spend $42,000 on something they cant see
d) Mr BRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAA, either learn to do the auction voice properly or give it up. This BRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAA business makes you sound like a total dick.

SilveryMoon · 15/09/2013 18:29

Agree op. I saw it for the first time today and that noise at the start of each word is really annoying.

crushedintherush · 15/09/2013 18:29

Totally agreed with knobs on !! Grin Grin I hate it too.

I have to leave the room when it's on. Grrrr....

Dawndonnaagain · 15/09/2013 18:32

I am with you. My teens love it and I too have to leave the room. The Brrrrrrrrr chap makes me want to do violent things to him!

Bogeyface · 15/09/2013 18:32

are we talking about the annoying guy that bids for them or the auctioneer?

cause the annoying guy that bids definitely says YUUUUUUUPPP

they even had t shirts printed with it on to take the piss out of him in one episode

Bogeyface · 15/09/2013 18:35

The bidding guy does say YUUUUUP, not is the auctioneer that gets on my nerves the most!

"Yuuuuuup" is Dave from Storage Wars - infinitely better than Storage Hunters as you get to know the characters and it all becomes somewhat soap opera-esque and competitive. S. Hunters is just a poor relation imo!

It is a very sad fact that I know this fact.

FlapJackFlossie · 15/09/2013 18:39

My son has caught on to Dave......and says YUUUUUUUUUUP a lot !

ImNotABarbieGirl · 15/09/2013 18:41

Storage hunters is a cheap imitation of storage wars... sooooooo much better. Especially now dave has been cut.

DoJo · 15/09/2013 19:07

They are all poor man's versions of Auction Hunters - weirdly addictive and incredibly annoying though it still is...!

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa · 15/09/2013 19:12

Money

BaronessTeapot · 15/09/2013 19:13

Storage hunters, storage wars, pawn stars. Do I love 'em all?

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuup!

lastnightiwenttomanderleyagain · 15/09/2013 19:14

I HATE this programme. It actually makes my blood boil yet highly educated poncy DH LOVES it. It's actors pretending to bid pretend money on sheds full of shite, oh, but wait,surprise! There's a million dollars worth of crap under that tarp'.

Feeling the rage now....had to restrain from writing that post in all caps and bold!

ophelia275 · 15/09/2013 19:15

"Money!"

BaronessTeapot · 15/09/2013 19:17

I know it's crap, I know!

I know that it is just unbelievable that they take the antique shotgun to a dealer who just happens to have the exact amount of money in his back pocket IN CASH for whatever it is worth.

I know.

But I still like it Blush

Bogeyface · 15/09/2013 19:19

Which one am I on about then?

The one with the BRRRAAAA Auctioneer and that couple where the woman says "YEP" when she bids and they are both the smuggest buggers ever. Whichever one that is, THATS the one I hate.

DD has just said it was Storage Hunters, as "Storage Wars" is rubbish!

Peachyjustpeachy · 15/09/2013 19:20

the trick to tape it then fast forward through the annoying bits!

BaronessTeapot · 15/09/2013 19:21

He is a rubbish auctioneer. I always think he's just going......

biddy,biddy,biddy,biddy,biddy,25
biddy,biddy,biddy,biddy,biddy,50

and so on.

Bogeyface · 15/09/2013 19:24

Oooh turns out the the auctioneer is Sean Kelly and he is stand up comedian!
