* CanadaEh: Many of the episodes are Canadian-themed, but of particular note is episode 27, on the Great Maple Syrup Heist, a 2012 incident where 13.4 million dollars of syrup was stolen from a warehouse in Quebec. The episode also covers the 2017 theft of a giant commemorative Canadian coin the size of a bike tire made of solid gold and ends with a full symphony rendition of the Canadian national anthem in French in place of the usual outro.

* ObliviousToSarcasm: Jessica has a theory that despite the fact that she is terrible at understanding sarcasm, that she might have picked up a “sarcastic accent” from being around her highly sarcastic family.

* AmericaSavesTheDay:
-->'''Janel''': "We have orange juice and tomato juice... and we also have intercontinental death and destruction. Would you like cookies or pretzels? Or a forever war against terrorism?"

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:The Phantom of Heilbronn. After a whole episode detailing a possible female serial killer connected to dozens of crimes all over Europe and a deep examination of female criminals and how this particular case flies in the face of most known data about them, it turns out that the "Phantom" was a random female worker at a medicals supplies plant whose DNA contaminated the cotton swabs used for testing in all of the Phantom's crimes.]] Jessica is left laughing hysterically while Janel calls this "the greatest true crime reveal ever".

* CargoShip: Jessica and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: This discussion from the episode on the Mystery of Room 1046:
-->"Who needs a child-leash when you can put 'em in a regular old gimp mask and dog collar?"
-->"Hey, it's really hard to find a gimp mask that small."
-->"Yeah, there's a reason that doesn't come in fucking child size. You have a hard time finding cock rings for toddlers for the same reason."

* HilariousInHindsight: The notably inbred Charles II of Spain's [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Royal_Monogram_of_Charles_III%2C_Duke_of_Brabant.svg/2000px-Royal_Monogram_of_Charles_III%2C_Duke_of_Brabant.svg.png royal monogram]] looks a hell of a lot like the modern international bio hazard sign.

* NightmareFuel

''[[https://soundcloud.com/user-41098980/ Fat, French and Fabulous]]'' is an informative [[BlackComedy comedy]] podcast that covers "histories and mysteries", including strange disappearances, petty fueds, and lesser known aspects of famous historical figures and eras. The show also has a healthy helping of grade-A Canadian content, thanks to the fact that both hosts (Jessica Pigeau and Janel Comeau) are Canadian graduate students.

-->'''Janel:''' "What the fuck?"

-->"Oui, c'est vrai! Je suis un ananas!"

-->"Je suis un ananas!"

* NoodleIncident: During the Jonathan Luna episode, Jessica casually mentions recently having visited a sexshop and replys to Janel's shock simply with "I had my reasons". Keep in mind Jessica is asexual.

* BarefootLoon: Jessica frequently walks around completely barefoot, no matter the weather. She reports that she still has all nine toes she was born with.

* LikesOlderWomen: seems to have a thing for much, ''much'' older women, especially Queen Elizabeth Windsor:

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Janel

* BodyHorror: The entire episode on self-surgery.

* GloriousMotherRussia: Ayn Rand, for some reason.
