''Unraveled: Absurdly Comprehensive Game Lore'' is a comedic video essay series on Polygon, hosted by Brian David Gilbert, where he digs into (and sometimes fabricates) the lore behind some of the most beloved video game franchises, while also [[MeaningfulName slowly going insane]].
Episodes of the series:
* "Solving the Zelda Timeline in 15 Minutes" (''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'')

* "Understanding Kingdom Hearts (and every other story)" (''Franchise/KingdomHearts'')

!!Unraveled provides examples of:
* AnIcePerson: In the Mega Man episode, BDG notes that many of the most useful Robot Masters have an ice theme.

* {{Cult}}: The Sonic episode ends with BDG forming a cult around the Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Unraveled" refers both to BDG picking apart the lore of the games at the seams, and the lore picking him apart at the seams.
* FanonDiscontinuity: In the Sonic episode, BDG proclaims literally every Sonic game non-canon because none of them follow the story of the [[Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible original outline written for the series]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: BDG says that [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Bounce Man]] was built not just to be crashed into walls over and over, but to also feel the pain of being crashed into walls over and over.
* GoKartingWithBowser: According to BDG, Bowser's military must follow the Geneva Conventions, because Nintendo wouldn't create a war criminal and then allow him to ride in a go-kart with a baby.
* KudzuPlot: The Kingdom Hearts episode is BDG's attempt to use classical literary analysis methods (Particularly the {{Monomyth}}) to un-complicate the infamously complicated plot of the Kingdom Hearts games. He fails.
* {{Nepotism}}:
** Bowser Jr. is only the Secretary of Transportation because he's Bowser's son.

* PhysicalGod: BDG's cult around the Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible proclaims that either Sonic the Hedgehog is a god or could kill God.
* SanitySlippage: BDG usually starts the episode very calm and collected (excluding the Castlevania episode, because the episode we see was the third version recorded, the first two being multiple hours long) before slowly going insane by the end.
* StringTheory: The episodes analysing the Zelda timeline and the Kingdom Hearts plot devolve into a mess of string on a massive corkboard connecting games and/or plot points semi-coherently.
* SuicideBySea: The Castlevania episode ends with BDG walking into the ocean.
* TakeThat: BDG says he wanted Bowser's military to emulate a somewhat bloated, overly antagonistic, and massively overfunded one. [[BlatantLies But he couldn't find a real life example of that]], so he based it on the United States Military.

!!Unraveled provides examples of:
* AnIcePerson: In the Mega Man episode, BDG notes that many of the most useful Robot Masters have an ice theme.
* TheCameo: Creator/PatrickGill occasionally can be seen or heard as one of the show's producers.
* ChekovsGun: At the start of the Bowser's Military episode, BDG says that he read the entire Geneva Conventions to learn about they're definitions of armed conflict before learning that what he was looking for had been summarized in a much shorter paper and he wasted his time. [[spoiler:Until the end of the episode, where he realizes Mario is a war criminal and applies the Conventions to him.]]
* {{Cult}}: The Sonic episode ends with BDG forming a cult around the Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Unraveled" refers both to BDG picking apart the lore of the games at the seams, and the lore picking him apart at the seams.
* FanonDiscontinuity: In the Sonic episode, BDG proclaims literally every Sonic game non-canon because none of them follow the story of the [[Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible original outline written for the series]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: BDG says that [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Bounce Man]] was built not just to be crashed into walls over and over, but to also feel the pain of being crashed into walls over and over.
* GoKartingWithBowser: According to BDG, Bowser's military must follow the Geneva Conventions, because Nintendo wouldn't create a war criminal and then allow him to ride in a go-kart with a baby.
* KudzuPlot: The Kingdom Hearts episode is BDG's attempt to use classical literary analysis methods (Particularly the {{Monomyth}}) to un-complicate the infamously complicated plot of the Kingdom Hearts games. He fails.
* {{Nepotism}}:
** Bowser Jr. is only the Secretary of Transportation because he's Bowser's son.
** Petey Piranha is a Lieutenant General because his father took a bullet for Bowser in Vietnam
* NoOSHACompliance: The Smash Bros. episode comepletely revolves around analysing every Smash Bros. stage for OSHA violations, which all tallied up amount to [[spoiler: 17 million dollars]] in fines.
* PhonyVeteran: Morton Koopa Jr. has written books about serving but never actually was active duty, for which BDG proclaims him a valor stealing bastard.
* PhysicalGod: BDG's cult around the Script/SonicTheHedgehogBible proclaims that either Sonic the Hedgehog is a god or could kill God.
* SanitySlippage: BDG usually starts the episode very calm and collected (excluding the Castlevania episode, because the episode we see was the third version recorded, the first two being multiple hours long) before slowly going insane by the end.
* StringTheory: The episodes analysing the Zelda timeline and the Kingdom Hearts plot devolve into a mess of string on a massive corkboard connecting games and/or plot points semi-coherently.
* SuicideBySea: The Castlevania episode ends with BDG walking into the ocean.
* TakeThat: BDG says he wanted Bowser's military to emulate a somewhat bloated, overly antagonistic, and massively overfunded one. [[BlatantLies But he couldn't find a real life example of that]], so he based it on the United States Military.
* TakingTheBullet: Petey Piranha's father took a bullet for Bowser in the Korean War.
