* AndStarring: Played on a more light headed level during the Hot Daga, as the character Dr. Goondis is "voiced" by Ryan via voice recordings and Shane would always credit him, [[spoiler:at least until Goondis hatches from his egg and Shane takes over and actually voices him]].

* WhoKilledJFK: Kennedy's assassination gets its own video with Ryan mentioning some of the more popular theories surrounding it.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Ryan accuses Shane of making up the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518 Dancing Plague if 1518]] when he uses it to defend the mass hysteria theory in the "Bizarre Toxic Death of Gloria Ramirez" episode.

* DrivenToSuicide: A few of the theories from True Crime that involves death mention suicide as a potential reason, although the way the person in question died makes this questionable at best.

* EvilIsCool: {{Discussed}} in a few episodes, especially the ones about D.B. Cooper and the Gardner Museum Heist. In the former, Ryan and Shane both admit to finding Cooper's calm demeanor and method of committing the crime kind of cool, and are a little disappointed when they realize he was probably kind of an idiot. In the latter, Shane's outright rooting for the thieves, and is ''delighted'' by how awesome and movie-like the heist was. Ryan also admits to liking the thieves, and notes that in heist movies, most audiences are inclined to root for the criminals.

** The Hot Dog Saga / [[{{Portmanteau}} Hot Daga]]. Shane insists on keeping the story alive, and expect him to continue with the tale at the end of every Post-Mortem episode.

* BerserkButton: The [[OverlyLongGag Hot]] [[FanNickname Doga]] and Shane's ArbitrarySkepticism for Ryan. Outlandishly supernatural theories for Shane.

[=BuzzFeed Unsolved=] was a WebVideo live-action/documentary series created by Website/BuzzFeed that discussed unsolved mysteries, covering both True Crime and Supernatural cases. It was produced and hosted by Ryan Bergara and co-hosted by Shane Madej, with whom Ryan maintains a very... [[VitriolicBestBuds intense]] friendship. Each serves as the resident believer and skeptic respectively.

Unsolved updates on Fridays, with post-episode Q&A sessions (known as Postmortems) being posted the following Wednesday. The True Crime segment has run for 5 seasons, with the 5th season premiering on March 21, 2019. The series began on one of Buzzfeed's subsidiary [=YouTube=] channels; Buzzfeed Blue, but from the 5th season of the Supernatural segment onwards, the show switched to a new Unsolved-only Buzzfeed channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKijjvu6bN1c-ZHVwR7-5WA Buzzfeed Unsolved Network]].

There's also a sports segment. So that's cool.

** On the flipside, even Shane will occasionally admit to finding an area or story genuinely creepy, even if he doesn't believe in ghosts. He also tries "not to be an asshole sometimes" to believers, especially if they seem distraught by what they may or may not have encountered.

* SlainInTheirSleep: How the Axeman of New Orlean's operated. He would wait for the victims to go to bed before attempting to murder them with an axe. Attempting because as Shane and Ryan do point out, for someone murdering people in their sleep, he's not actually all that successful. He managed to actually kill his victims in less than 50% of his attacks.

* The Horrors of Villisca Ax Murder House

* BermudaTriangle: Covered in one episode.

* CryptidEpisode: Bigfoot and Mothman.

* GutFeeling / ThisIsGonnaSuck: Ryan's typical reaction to approaching a haunted location, especially at night.

* VitriolicBestBuds / LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Shane and Ryan. Their bickering is the trademark of the show, arguably even more so than the ''Series/UnsolvedMysteries'' aspect.

* AssholeVictim: Ken Rex [=McElroy=]. This man spent so much of his life terrorizing the inhabitants of his own town and had escaped the law so many times that no one felt sorry for him when he was killed in an act of vigilante justice or felt any desire for the mystery of who killed him to be solved. Shane, Ryan, and most of the viewers reacted with a sense of cheering on whoever pulled the trigger, feeling that [=McElroy=] deserved it.

* BecomingTheMask / BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: PlayedForLaughs in the Waverly Hills Hospital episode when Shane realizes with horror that he is a ghost hunter.
