* RealSongThemeTune: "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. A rather... ''interesting'' choice for a reality show that has been accused many times of being staged.

* FranchiseKiller: The infamous sixth season {{Retool}} of the show in 2011, which ended with an infamous GainaxEnding, functionally did this to the entire franchise spawned by ''Laguna Beach''. All of the shows spun off from the series crashed and burned -- ''The City'', which was into its second season at the time of ''Hills'''s series finale, was not renewed at the end of that season, while an apparent {{spinoff}} involving fellow cast member Audrina Patridge wasn't picked up by the network, necessitating that Creator/VH1 step in to broadcast it. While ''The Hills'' did receive a {{Revival}} in the form of 2019's ''The Hills: New Beginnings'', the show generally steers clear of the events of the sixth season, while the GainaxEnding of the original show was [[CanonDiscontinuity outright removed]] for reruns.

* DeletedScene: On the tenth anniversary of the series finale's original airing, an alternate ending was released that would have showed Brody going back to see Lauren at her apartment after he speaks with Kristin for the last time. This was changed in the final cut to a GainaxEnding that suggested that some[=/=]all of the show was faked.

* FollowUpFailure: Both ''The City'' (which was ''The Hills'' transplanted to New York with a new set of backstabbing characters and relationship woes for Lauren's friend Whitney) and ''Audrina'' (which followed Lauren's other friend, Audrina Patridge) were underwhelming shows that were cancelled at the end of their second and first season, respectively. Both were canned by Creator/{{MTV}} (''Audrina'' wasn't even picked up after the first season finished shooting - VH1 aired it) because the network was moving away from the reality show surge it had focused on for most of the 2000's.

* EditedForSyndication: In the United Kingdom.
* ExecutiveMeddling: One of the reasons why Lauren Conrad allegedly left the show was because Creator/{{MTV}} wanted to push her feud with Heidi, even though she wanted to put all of that behind her.
