History YMMV / UnnaturalHistory

** Jordan Gavaris, who plays Jasper, has actually referred to the relationship between Jasper and Maggie as Jaggie without provocation from any fans.

* ActorShipping: Kevin Schmidt/Jordan Gavaris has gained quite a following on Website/LiveJournal.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In "Maximum Insecurity", Henry and Maggie try to get Mr. Bartlett's attention through an electrified door with no avail. It goes back and forth between Henry and Maggie's side and Mr. Bartlett's side, ''with him listening to music and playing mini golf'' (this was after he said he was staying late for a meeting).

-->'''Jasper''': You people are evil!
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: In "Past, Presidents, and Future" when Henry [[spoiler: breaks [[JerkJock Hunter]]'s nose]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The Offspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" (with the f-bomb barely bleeped out) blares as Henry takes on a Japanese rival at sushi-making.

* MartyStu: Henry borders on this. The premise of the show is that Henry ends up using his acquired skills from studying with numerous different cultures around the world in every episode. He seems to have a skill to use for almost any type of situation, which will ultimately help him get out of it. Oddly enough, his skills don't seem to match up what you'd expect a world traveler to have, such as finding a bathroom in the local language, making sure you have sufficient toiletries, not getting pickpocketed, haggling, etc. The only thing keeping him from completely perfect is because [[TropesAreNotBad sometimes his skills and knowledge works]], [[TropesAreNotGood sometimes they don't]] (they work more often than not.) He's also suppose to be balanced by the offset of lacking any knowledge about American culture and how society functions.
** In "Now You See Me", Henry's sudden popularity is justified by the fact most of the student body wants to go to get one of the Music/{{U2}} tickets he won.

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: On this site's forum, even. Unnatural History being a Live Action show on Creator/CartoonNetwork automatically means it sucks.
** But on some parts of those forums, there are tropers that actually like it after watching it, and only continue complaining that a live-action show is on Creator/CartoonNetwork.

* TooGoodToLast: Alas, it only had a three month run...

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The Speetle is nothing less than terrifying, even if one is a fan of bugs.

** And the red bat fever...[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Ugh...]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: In "Past, Presidents, and Future" when Henry [[spoiler: breaks [[JerkJock Hunter's]] nose]]

* FetishFuel: Henry ends up in heels and stockings (He's pretending to be Maggie's legs... ItMakesSenseInContext), and there's a close up of him peeling them off. In the same episode, he gets chained up twice.
** Jasper being bound and gagged in "Maximum Insecurity."
** The Prank War from "Thor's Slammer" culminating in Henry running around naked save for a towel, and dropping it pretty quickly. Many fangirls are probably dead now on account of a nosebleed.
** For the somnophiliacs, at least someone passes out, is knocked unconscious (in quite creative ways, might I add), chloroformed, etc. in almost every episode.

* BetterThanItSounds: It's a Live Action show on Cartoon Network that doesn't suck.

* OneTrueThreesome: Henry/Jasper/Maggie.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Hesper (Henry/Jasper), Menry or Haggie for Henry/Maggie, Jaggie (Jasper/Maggie), and Hespaggie for Henry/Jasper/Maggie.

** Mike Werb [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=raonkyeayxthdw01dcaheda6&page=5#113 posts on it too!]]

* [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed By Being On The Network]]: It's not a bad show, and if it were on almost any other network, it could be well-received. But because it's airing on '''CartoonNetwork''', no matter how much they promote the show a lot of viewers aren't willing to give it a chance.
** AnimationAgeGhetto, for live-action.

* TooGoodToLast: Alas, it only had a three month run...
* XMeetsY: ''NationalTreasure'' meets ''HarryPotter'', minus the magic.
** ''ScoobyDoo'' meets ''NationalTreasure'' meets ''HarryPotter''?
*** Plus a little ''MartinMystery'' for the inappropriate UST between Henry and Jasper.
** One of the commercials for the show calls it "a cross between ''TheHardyBoys'' and ''IndianaJones'' with ''NationalTreasure'' thrown in for good measure".
