The Buzzfeed Unsolved series has two focuses on true crime and supernatural, and while both can certainly be terrifying, they're both also hilarious due to the two hosts Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara.
Shane Madej tends to serve up deadpan and outrageous humor as he continually taunts any possible ghouls or demons dwelling at haunted locations or teasing his co-host Ryan. Let's revisit some of the funniest quotes from Shane from the series so far, get ready to laugh Buckaroos!
"We're here for the cult stuff! We saw the ad on Craigslist!"
In the Goatman episode, Ryan and Shane begin to search the surrounding forest of Goatman's bridge where legend has it, there has been cult activity and sacrifices.
As they venture into the dark forest, Shane immediately starts yelling to any cult members in the forest that he's ready to join in and, hilariously, he saw their ad on Craigslist.
"Ryan, every room you're in is a panic room."
As usual, Ryan loses his mind with terror and Shane hits him with a deadpan response when Ryan asks if there's a panic room for them to hide in.
The interaction sums up both of their demeanors on the show pretty well. Ryan is immediately terrified at any notion of a ghoul or demon. While Shane is completely unphased and feels the need to poke fun at his friend.
"We better stock up on some knowledge here, otherwise, we're going to get murdered by ghosts."
In one of the first episodes that see Shane and Ryan travel to supernaturally haunted locations, Shane throws out this line. Shane saying this line is a bit out of character, but when he says it, of course, it's dripping with sarcasm.
Because as usual Ryan is genuinely terrified to visit the haunted locations, and Shane is nonchalant about having to visit the terrifying places.
"Stop Serial killing."
It's simple, short, sweet, and hopefully effective in stopping all serial killers. He says it in an exasperated way as they discuss the O.J. Simpson case and how a serial killer claimed he had killed them. Shane's not impressed and tells all serial killers to stop doing this, and actually, should just stop serial killing altogether.
It quickly became a meme with people connecting the quote with a crime statistics graph that shows crime plummeting after Shane says this once. Just stop serial killing, people!
"Goatman! I'm dancing on your bridge, it's my bridge now!"
Shane stole a bridge from a demonic Goatman and danced on it. He threatens to take the bridge for him and Ryan if Goatman doesn't show up to fight him for it. Shane's a bit unhinged in this episode as he immediately starts screaming at the demon and dancing on its bridge.
He never settles down as he continues to cuss out the demon and eventually claims that he now owns the bridge after not seeing any sign of the Goatman.
"Hello, is this 911? The Devil is here, send God!"
Shane and Ryan are discussing the Sam and Marilyn Sheppard case when both are confused as to what a witness was doing awake and alert enough at 4:00 a.m. to be able to see someone running from the Sheppard's house.
Ryan says that when he hears a bump in the night he's not running to the window to see what it is, and Shane launches into a bit about what Ryan does when he hears noises at night, which is when he says this line while imitating Ryan.
"Rock and roll, Buckaroo!"
Shane lying on a pentagram, asking a ghoul or demon to kill him, and screaming rock and roll, Buckaroo sums up his typical demeanor on the show. In one of the first episodes that sees the boys traveling, they've been warned not to directly interact with ghouls or demons.
Shane immediately disregards this advice when Ryan tells him about the basement of the haunted house that previously had a pentagram drawn on the floor. Shane can't resist taunting the demons and ghouls by lying down on the spot and screaming this iconic line.
"Friends murder each other all the time."
Shane throws out this quote nonchalantly at the end of the Australian Shark Arm Murder episode and Ryan gets wide-eyed and hilariously uncomfortable at the notion.
Shane says it like it's normal and says that friends murdering each other is just the way of the world. Ryan gets up from the table and leaves the room as Shane crosses his arms and does his tough, whispering Australian accent character.
"I did meet some of the most insufferable people. But, they also met me."
Shane says this line in the Black Dahlia Revisited episode when Ryan brings up he took an improv class. They're discussing Elizabeth Short moving to Los Angeles in hopes of stardom and Ryan brings up that Shane did the same move from to L.A. with the same hopes.
This is Shane's summary of taking an improv class right when he arrived because he wanted to meet people, but it's probably safe to say he didn't make too many connections there.
"Hey there demons, it's me, ya boy."
Of course, this quote comes in at number one. It's one of the most iconic quotes of the series and deserves its spot at the top. There's endless merchandise available with this quote on it and any fan of the show has been caught saying it more than once.
Arguably the funniest and most quotable line from the series shows Shane's approach to ghost and demon hunting very early on.
