History YMMV / WeirdOrWhat

* {{Narm}}:
** One segment involves two women (one of which has the name "Starfire") who claim that a woman materialized out of thin air in the ladies room they were in, and they are adamant that bathroom was too small for them to have not seen someone who was already in there. They put forth the idea that the woman was a ''time traveler'' who had come back in time and appeared in the bathroom. Also, the other woman was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Strieber Anne Strieber]] and her husband [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitley_Strieber Whitley Strieber]] was also present. Even for the show's usual silliness, this story is a bit ''too'' ridiculous compared to the usual.

* NarmCharm: The show is best enjoyed when viewed as an AffectionateParody of the SpeculativeDocumentary genre, which seems to have been an InvokedTrope.
** As a whole the show seems to intentionally be poorly edited, with flashes of light and blur effects applied to shots of zooms and pans of the experts as they are introduced, sound effects that are quite clearly added in post, and cheap costumes and blatantly fake animals treated like the real thing. This is amplified by the presence of William Shatner, who [[AdamWesting Adam Wests]] like mad and makes bad jokes and puns all the time.
** Some specific episodes and stories are ''clearly'' meant to be enjoyed ironically, since they are clearly absurd and the show treats them with tongue-in-cheek seriousness.
*** "Parallel Worlds" covers a woman who claims that a shadow she saw in the woods was a physical being and experts suggest it's a visitor from another dimension; [[https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Basiago Andrew Basiago]]'s claim that his father invented teleportation and he was personally involved in an experiment that teleported him across the country[[note]]This is not even the most ludicrous thing Basiago has claimed, just what the episode mentions[[/note]]; and {{Crystal Skull}}s, during which an expert claims that they have the power to exist in multiple dimensions at once and could be the key to interdimensional travel. The "expert" also directly says that humans need to open their minds to the paranormal happening around them and stop trying to explain them, and the world would be a happier place if we accepted things like this.
*** "Aliens Walk Among Us" covers a strange creature killed by a Mexican rancher, a woman who claims she was created as a government experiment using alien DNA to impregnate her mother, and a serviceman Charles James Hall who served at Nellis Air Force Base (near Area 51) and claims that not only is the government knowingly allowing aliens to live on the Earth and he personally interacted with them, but also claims they've been here since ancient times and that they like to go into Las Vegas and visit the casinos. This is accompanied by footage of an actor in an alien costume sitting at a blackjack table smoking and dressed like a card shark.
* SoBadItsGood: If the show ''isn't'' trying to invoke NarmCharm, then it still qualifies for this trope on account of how much cheese oozes from every shot.

** One segment has a woman suggest that hospitals would make logical places to run an undercover meth lab, since it's an environment with strange smells and chemicals, and so a meth lab could operate within a hospital and discretely move materials around without notice. [[Series/BreakingBad She didn't offer any opinion on hiding a meth lab inside a laundromat]].

** They cover the story of Shayna Richardson, a skydiver whose parachute didn't deploy and she landed in a parking lot from a freefall, and she not only survived and made a full recovery (after a lot of surgeries, of course), but she didn't know she was ''pregnant'' at the time and the baby also survived and with no complications. One of the persons interviewed for a theory on how Shayna could have survived such a fall suggests that an ''angel'' saved her and slowed her descent to a survivable state. The show usually doesn't propose paranormal explanations for real, documented incidents like this, which makes this segment stand out more for letting such an explanation slip in.

* NarmCharm: The show is best enjoyed when viewed as an AffectionateParody of the SpeculativeDocumentary genre, which seems to have been an InvokedTrope. The editing and filming techniques and the bizarreness of some of the "experts" they interview for fantastical explanations make it very silly, and this is amplified by the presence of William Shatner, who [[AdamWesting Adam Wests]] like mad and makes bad jokes and puns all the time. It results in a show that doesn't take itself too seriously and has a whimsical slant to its coverage of legitimately interesting subjects, making it rather fun to watch.

** Like pretty much every show that talked about the 2012 conspiracy theories, those segments become ironically funny now that the year has come and gone and the world didn't end.

* NarmCharm: The show's editing techniques, the presence of Shatner and the segments where he [[AdamWesting Adam Wests]] like mad, and some of the stories they cover. The show can be cheesy and silly, and the makers seem to be somewhat aware of it and going for this trope. Shatner also enjoys the occasional bout of LampshadeHanging on how silly some of the stories are, such as during a show on aliens "why is it every time something strange happens, we always blame the aliens?"
