* HauntedHouse: They have visited many. "Three Horrifying Cases of Ghosts and Demons" has the Winchester Mystery House (mansion variety), the Sallie House (suburban version), and a [[UpToEleven haunted island]].

** The Strangest Disappearances in The Bermuda Triangle

** The Hidden Secrets of Area 51

** Almost definitely intentional, given the GenreSavvy nature of the show. Shane always rebutts Ryan’s claims of the supernatural by offering possible real-life explanations and/or making fun of them. He also dismisses the more outlandish theories, such as aliens being responsible for the disappearance of the lost Roanoke colonists or the existence of an “Underwater Area 51” in the Bermuda Triangle.

* [[CIAEvilFBIGood CIA Evil]]: Many of Ryan's theories include possible CIA coverups and other forms of foul play.

** They briefly swap roles in the Bigfoot episode, with Shane being a fan of the theory, and Ryan admitting that he's "not the biggest believer in Bigfoot". Shane scoffs that it's only because Bigfoot is flesh and blood, too scientific and solid for spooky Ryan.
* AgentScully:
** Ryan is a true believer, always left shaking his head at Shane's defiant antics and trying in vain to make him see the supernatural side.

** The Suspicious Death Of Harry Houdini

** The Mysterious Death of George Reeves
** The Puzzling Disappearance of Agatha Christie

* HiddenInPlainSight: Agatha Christie wrote a letter to her brother saying she was in Yorkshire but the police, not believing it, seemed to start by checking everywhere ''but'' Yorkshire.

* CannotTellALie: The Plupples from the Hot Daga are biologically incapable of tell them, or else they would explode.

* RapidFireNo: Shane's immediate reaction to the theory that the Ax Man could've been a supernatural entity due to the contents of a letter sent to the police that is attributed to them.

* IronicNickname: Discussed in the "Bugsy Siegel" in relation to Matthew Pandza, whose nickname was "Moose", and the boys joke that he could've been a small guy with a high pitched voice.

* OrphanedSeries: [[LeftHanging Despite the ending of Season 5 of the Hot Daga indicating that Maizey's journey to save]] [[spoiler:her wife, Dan, Rebecca, [[KidFromTheFuture Future Brandon]] is not over yet, and their friends from Pam]], Shane ultimately chooses to end the series.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Ryan's reaction to the Hot Daga at times, especially during the Jamison Q&A in response to Shane using poorly stitched together voice clips of Ryan for one of his characters.

* AdultFear: Some of the True Crime stories qualify as NightmareFuel because of this.
** Hinterkaifeck farm: An entire family was slaughtered while they slept, possibly by someone who was secretly living in the attic for months. On top of that, the heads of the bodies were all lost and never found.
** Black Dahlia: Elizabeth Short, a young woman, was brutally murdered and dismembered and her killer has never been found.
** The Sodder Children: On Christmas, the Sodder family house was destroyed by a fire, but five of the nine children did not escape. That would be scary enough, but evidence later came to light that those five children almost certainly didn't die in the fire, but were abducted, with the fire being intentionally set as a cover.
** [=JonBenét=] Ramsey was kidnapped during Christmas from her house and her father found her dead body in their basement.
** The Watcher talked about the Broaddus children several times in their letters, somehow finding out intimate details about them, and implied that they intended to hurt or kidnap them.
** Louis Le Prince dedicated his life to build something the world had never seen before - only to disappear just when he was about to debut it. No one has yet to find out what happened to him and decades later, someone got all the credit and hardly anyone recognizes that Louis invented it.

* AndStarring: Played on a more light headed level during the Hot Daga, as the character Dr. Goondis is "voiced" by Ryan via stitched up 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]].
