!!''This week on [=BuzzFeed=] Unsolved we discuss the following tropes:

*AgentMulder / AgentScully: Ryan and Shane, respectively. Inverted in the Bigfoot episode.
*BreatherEpisode: The Missing Family episode, a case with no deaths, located right between The Boy in the Box and JonBenét Ramsey.
*DarkerAndEdgier: The [=JonBenét=] Ramsey episode. Not the case itself per se, as you can see Shane and Ryan [[BlackComedy merrily joking away]] in other episodes with missing/dead children, but here-possibly due to the relative recency of the case and how well-known it is-they're more toned down. Notably, Ryan says that, for this particular episode, they're legally not allowed to say who they think did it.
-->'''Shane:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness I know everybody wanted to hear about this case, but I don't wanna anymore. I'm done.]]
