Why he might be annoying:

    He got his nickname from his resemblance to Chumley the Walrus in the cartoon ‘Tennessee Tuxedo.’
    He was hired at the pawn shop largely because he was the childhood friend of the son of one of the owners.
    On the show, he is the butt of endless jokes about his intelligence, or lack thereof.
    When a customer brought in a photo by Ansel Adams, he replied, ‘Like, from the Addams Family?’
    The ‘Pawn Stars’ webpage admits that he is the epitome of an ‘accidental celebrity.’
    He is heavily tattooed.
    He owns more than 200 pairs of shoes.
    He was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, marijuana and an illegal firearm (March 9, 2016).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the breakout character of ‘Pawn Stars.’
    He formed his own company to sell novelty items, such as t-shirts of his own design.
    His merchandise significantly outsells that of the other ‘Pawn Stars’ stars.
    He lost 75 pounds in a year by exercising six days a week and improving his diet (2013).
    When his girlfriend, Vegas casino chef Tanya Hyjazi, wanted a boob job, he paid for it. (‘That’s a good birthday present, right?’)
