Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know?

So, I've never been to a pawn shop before. I'm curious what's there, but TV makes them seem shady and odd. What should I know before I visit? I'm sort of expecting a cross between an antique and a thrift store, that sort of vibe.

I'm in the USA and don't intend to pawn anything.

I see what you did there. I'm wondering if others don't get it, or just don't like the joke.
