In Videos: Stavenhagen's Food Pawn Shop with Steve Buscemi and Will Ferrell

20081204-foodpawnshop.jpg

Times are tough with our current economy. Need cash more than you need satiation? Bring a sandwich, taco, or other foodstuff to Stavenhagen's Food Pawn Shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where they'll buy your food for cold, hard cash. Of course, you can also buy food. It may be secondhand, but it's not skanky; it's exotic. Especially the bugs.

But don't bring gum—the shop's proprietor, Steve Buscemi, says it's not food. Watch the video after the jump.

Hi-sterical. I think I have a bowl of tuna noodle casserole to pawn...

god i love steve buscemi. i ate across from him at perch in park slope once. big up!

That is goddamned hilarious.

Why would someone bring in rocks?

Kinda strange...what is this from?

Where does it say anything about Park Slope?

@liwinegirl - It's an old short film from SNL, circa 2000. Before Andy Samberg and the other Lonely Island guys started doing their "Digital Shorts," Adam McKay made a few short films to run in place of skits or a musician's encore at the end of the night.

I love this piece. GUM IS NOT A FOOD.

@DanielJ: I googled it and came up with this, although I don't know if it's actually real.
