i used to watch the try guys when they still worked for buzzfeed as well as unsolved but after the try guys left this is the only show i still watch from buzzfeed
Van Gogh strikes me as the kind of guy that if someone hurt him, he wouldn't tell on them because he wouldn't want to trouble anyone, and that kinda hurts my heart. Especially with 2 kids, like it makes so much sense.
I'm thinking that it is very likely that it was some sort of accident where the boy shot him and Vincent didn't want them to get in trouble. The bullet wound just isn't what happens when people shoot themselves and, though he might have taken his painting supplies, it makes no sense for them to vanish. It is a sad story, but it is also very noble of him to cover up the situation so as not to ruin the kid's life. Definitely a better legacy than having people think you were crazy and shot yourself.
So sad this show is ending -- it truly was a large piece of my life and seeing Shane and Ryan's friendship grow through the seasons and into their journey with Watcher has been such a blessing. Wishing Steve, Shane, and Ryan all the best with everything they do.
@@Kazuma0915 yep! final season of supernatural will be out after they finish true crime :,) The boys have Watcher now, buzzfeed can rot for all I care ^-^
It's wild to me after all this time that fans of this show don't know: 1). That the boys have their own channel Watcher 2). That there's a difference between working for a company and Doing work a company. The boys have left Buzzfeed for real. They made an agreement for 2 more seasons each of Unsolved, 4 seasons altogether. They don't work FOR Buzzfeed anymore, they agreed to do some work for them.
@@HueOfBlueMusic I'm talking about contract work. They haven't returned to Buzzfeed, they agreed to do some seasons of Unsolved for them. It's the difference between hiring a salaried employee and hiring an independent contractor.
An analogy would be if you hired someone for a lawyer. Yes they are working for you and your case, but they are apart of a firm usually, which has its own way of doing things. You are giving them money but you aren’t their boss at the end of the day. This analogy doesn’t fill in every aspect of hired work, just more so for this instance. Independent work can be hard to navigate, at least for me, but I’m trying to get better at job contract knowledge after all this messy business with the pandemic.
I wish they had a Solved mysteries show that is exactly like unsolved with all the different theories and suspects and at the end they can actually say who did it. I know they tried a similar thing, but Ryan&Shane really need to still host
I love the idea of Shane being “a child that wanders” as if he was a cat that sometimes just disappeared for a few days lmao. “Honey, did you put Shane out last night? Haven’t seen him all day”

Donna uhh as far as I know somebody is living there. As of 2019 at least. I grew within 10 minutes of the house but have not been around there for sometime. EDIT: after some light research I found that the house was indeed sold in 2019, for a $400k loss
That was my thought when this was originally aired. A few CCTV would have long ago solved this case or stopped the letters. One or the other. They didn't really want a solution. However I forgot they had DNA. Now is the time for some genetic genealogy.
I want a solved cold case series but Ryan makes Shane be a detective and gives him multiple theories and clues so that he has to guess who the real suspect is Edit (1 year later): how did I predict exactly what their mystery files show was going to be. like what in the world?😂
So...the show. This show. The thing we're watching. Except that "Unsolved" is "Solved". And there is definitely no information on the solved crime in the purblic consciousness. ....Are you suggesting Ryan become a mass murderer? He'd have info only the murderer would know so he'd know how hot on the case Shane is.
the watcher could've been a neighbour, I would pull a straight Tyrion on them and tell each of my neighbours different names of my pet that are not true, whichever name the watcher mentions you'd know.

OK but theory for the Watcher case: it was someone who already knew the family and just chose their new move as an opportunity to hurt them, possibly someone jealous that they could afford such an expensive house. The neighbourhood planning committee denied their petition to demolish the house not because they were in on it but because they were also bitter towards the Broaddus family for having drawn so much attention to the community, and possibly for the family accusing neighbours they thought were responsible for the letters. Knowing such intimate details like the kids' nicknames really just makes me think it's a relative who's secretly bitter.
There is a trend that I noticed with southern states back in those days. Every Texan had a gun, every Florida resident had a machete, and every Louisiana resident had an axe! Ya see the pattern? I rest my case.
I did get stabbed in an abandoned building once and didnt even realize it untill i left and was a few minutes away from the building, i didnt even feel or notice it untill i felt the blood dripping. Coulda died lmao
@@donttouchmycrowbar3452 damn a few weeks ago I was skating and I bombed a very sketchy hill and at the bottom I fell and I ripped my chin open and it ripped through 2 layers of muscle and u could see my jaw and I got up started laughing and I didnt even like feel it and I felt totally fine and I kept skating while my jaw was open and it was fun ahaha adrenaline is crazy
@@cyclops9750 Been doing parkour for a bit, grabbed the edge of something that had broken glass on it, cut my hand up pretty bad, didnt notice until i wiped the sweat off my face, i left that building looking like i just killed someone lmao
For the watcher episode, it bugs me so much that they didn’t get cameras. It was 2017, they spent tons of money on renovations, why not spend another few hundred on cameras?
@@widjadija From what I've heard from other people covering this case, they did get footage of someone at the mailbox, but couldn't tell from the footage who it was, and every other letter supposedly came from the mailman. In the video, however, Ryan said that there were cameras on the inside, so I'm not sure how accurate the camera footage was. Sorry.
@@abbigaledean4599 "Maria's therapist said" Let us pretend we're eight. Who "said" the information? You can get out crayons to draw lines if it makes you more confident. (And/or the reporting is bad and shouldn't be trusted, and if we can't trust that they accurately reported that piece of information why should we assume that anything else is true?)
i cried with the Van Gogh story. gosh. with the theory that the kids might accidentally shot him and he still covered for them so they won't get into trouble and that costs him his life, that's just bittersweet. so sad.
I cried too; I listen to these while sewing and went from vibing, stitching up a shoulder seam to bawling like a baby 😭😭 to go through such a life of emotional mental turmoil and then to pass the way he did, whether by accident or on purpose; that poor man
Yeah that is so me lmao. My parents used to ask me to pick up the mail whenever I got back from school ( not anymore tho cuz no schools ) and I would literally just take the stack, check for bills and just throw the rest into this ever growing pile of unopened letters and maybe coupons.
The fact that season 5 premiered more than 2 years ago and when they released the marathon just 9 months ago, it has already garnered more than 6 million episode... Speaks for itself
Ryan: When I've moved into apartments & new places I get welcoming gifts & cookies from the neighbours as away of saying welcome. ' Shane: I've never gotten cookies, But I did have someone leave POOP outside my Door once. 'Ryan: Yeh that sounds about Right 😂😀😂
The best lines from the whole video to me are: "I'm gonna provide for this family with some of that sticky, STICKY GREENT STUFF" And "Gonna turn Iceland into GREENLAND, Baby!"
Christine: That’s not my son! J.J. Jones: Yes, he is! To the psych ward with you! Boy: Yeah, I’m not the boy. My name’s actually Arthur. J.J. Jones: *Surprised pikachu face*
Yaretzy's Universe im aware, ive been following since they launched the channel. while im grateful for watcher and enjoy the content significantly more than the content on this channel, new content on watcher is not exactly the same as new buzzfeed unsolved episodes !
The theory that the couple wrote the letters to get out of buying the house makes no sense. When they finally found a family to move in, they wrote a clause in the agreement that if another letter arrived the agreement would be off. As it happens, another letter arrived. If they wanted to get out of owning the house, why would they send another letter to the new tenants?
I'm sorry but the idea that Van Gogh was a misunderstood victim who covered for his murderers because he knew it was an accident and didn't want to cost them their lives too just 😭
The Gordon Stewart Northcott murders could be it's own episode entirely. The podcast "Serial Killers" by Parcast did a two part series on him, where the nephew told his story in vivid detail. I have zero doubt that Gordon Stewart killed Walter Collins. He may have even been killed by the nephew, under the direction of Gordon and his psychotic mother. I 100% recommend listening to it.
Shane and Ryan start a new business named after the Watcher and immediately the world plunges into chaos due to "something as simple as a mild illness that never seems to go away but makes you fell sick day after day after day after day after day."
As someone who has been in solitary... putting someone there for hundreds of days is absolute torture. I'm not saying I'd kill myself, but I think the chances of someone doing it go up exponentially... thats sad...
I don’t know why, but when Ryan and Shane say “Let’s do it!” in sync at 0:39, I get really happy! I’ve watched this so many times, but it never fails to make me happy - it’s so clear that no matter what shenanigans they get up to on this show, they’re genuinely close friends, and I think that’s really neat! (note: this has nothing to do with the “Shyan” ship. stop shipping real people together.)
Knowing now that Van Gogh might have been murdered made me tear up coz he must be a very kind man to put up with these bullies and eventually killed by them... breaks my heart
My parents we're murdered by their neighbor he got away with it to. What's sad is before he killed them he shot my dad through the stomach a couple months prior to them going missing. You would think that would be enough to lock him up but he's still free living his life. I miss them so much every day. Justice for Susan and Jerry McFalls
@@Copeharder99 I just try to live day by day. It never gets any easier. They were my best friends and I miss them both so much. Thanks for the kind words.
The last thing I want after vomiting is for my body to think it still should vomit despite not having anything to vomit. Once went to the urgent care because pain was making me vomit, I couldn’t keep swallowed stuff down so they gave me a devolving anti nausea tablet, threw that up because of the taste. After that they just threw up their hand and said to just go to the emergency room. Probably also had something to do with not making it to the toilet in time while waiting, didn’t feel bad so bad that we ended up having to pay when they couldn’t do much. Luckily I’ve never vomited birds or rats. The arm I found laying around down town went down well too.
The watcher got his info off of their social media accounts. It’s comical. He had absolutely no information that couldn’t be had from most people’s Facebook accounts.
@@gracewsho Have you seen what people post on social media? And there’s ALL KINDS of apps/websites that post houses for sale and will give a virtual tour of the place. Nicknames, hobbies, bedrooms, etc. None of this is terribly difficult to glean from the internet.
i used to get annoyed by the commentaries but i live for them now! it's like the kind of food that grows on you and becomes your favorite. "All Hail The Watcher!~~" lols
i'm literally obsessed with these episodes. you guys also started the "are you scared" series and I think that a lot of people would enjoying having more of those please!
the are you scared series is actually on shane and ryan and their buzzfeed coworker steven's channel called watcher. the are you scared series isnt buzzfeed content
their boardroom discussion impressions were super satisfying and on-point ''I know youve got him like threatening the house, what if he goes after us? yeah- the kids'' ''write it down'' ''his father was a watcher... and so was his father before him ! ''
I remember watching this show with my older brother when I was like 6 and I loved it so much. I remember when we would click endlessly through many episodes of this amazing series and bond over it. Its so nostalgic for me and I love it. I remember after me and my brother's binge watching sessions, when my brother started watching other stuff, I would go over to my own laptop and watch the season marathons. I remember one particular afternoon when I watched s5 and s6 till around 11 pm, which at the time, was really late for me. I really like that a youngin like me, back then, could enjoy a show describing these gruesome murders and crimes lol. In conclusion, this show is my childhood. Thanks.
Never noticed Ryan's flamingo mug during the Bugsy episode before. It's that attention to detail that buzzfeed will miss when Ryan and Shane step away.
@@thephantommarauder7748 I have, but saying "note to self: don't get put in gitmo" is off-topic and irrelevant. Sweden and Iceland are two different places, so they have nothing to do with one another. I don't know why a simple "note to self" is so terribly wrong or whatever
@@iangalt6899 Quite right. The OP's disdain for the Icelandic police (at least in this case) is completely justified, and MT's attempted clap-backs are completely off-base. Indeed, given MT's Arabic-language name, he may be trying to shoehorn issues he prefers into the wrong conversation, just for attention.
you should always remember what dr. isaac asimov said about puns. the good doctor considered the pun the highest form of humor. and he knew words, he had written a book on every subject in the dewey decimal system, save one.
The Reykjavik case is so weird to me cause I remember hearing about "The Geirfinnur case" throughout most of my life but actually getting into the details I feel so embarrassed that my sweet little homeland messed up this big. Also, last names in Iceland work different so two people having the same last name literally just means the two people had fathers with the same name.
As far as last names go, it’s the same here in the us, too. Just cause two people have the same last name doesn’t make them related. So I wouldn’t say it works differently, at least not from my standpoint 😊 I think Ryan said "no relation" just to clarify for the viewers
@@Violetfire343 True! That of course goes for everywhere in the world! But in Iceland they do construct last names in a different way then US, and Denmark, where I am from. Explained: If I'm a boy in Iceland (let's say my name is: Jack ), and my grandfather is called Dean, and my father: John. My father would be John Deanson, and I would be Jack Johnsson. Same for women/girls: I, myself, am called Marie let's pretend my mother's name is Susanne. So my name would be Marie Susannesdatter (datter=daughter) my daughter's would be Siri Mariesdatter. However, we don't construct last names like that anymore, in DK! It is, of course, how a lot of last names were made! But we don't use that tradition of last names neither in DK or US. In one family we normally have one last name, which both father, mother, daughters and sons are called. That's not how it works in Iceland. So.. Trust the person who are talking about their own country ;)
@@AshtonishingJelly very true. It’s that way everywhere. It’s not that I wasn’t “trusting a person talking about their own country”, I was simply stating things from my standpoint. But also because Ryan and Shane are from the us as well, and that might be why he said what he did. No disrespect meant to anybody.
plus was it true solitary confinement or were there no other prisoners? If they only do a crime once a year, they can't have too many cell mates, right?

So...the show. This show. The thing we're watching. Except that "Unsolved" is "Solved". And there is definitely no information on the solved crime in the purblic consciousness.
....Are you suggesting Ryan become a mass murderer? He'd have info only the murderer would know so he'd know how hot on the case Shane is.
@@mnschoen exactly😌😂
You’re in luck. Their new channel has exactly that in their Mystery Files show.
oh boy do I have something for you
Honestly, with the Iceland one…there’s a beach in Iceland that just sweeps you out-you’re gone gone. I’d bet something like that happened
I'm sure all the Iceland natives forgot about that.
the watcher could've been a neighbour, I would pull a straight Tyrion on them and tell each of my neighbours different names of my pet that are not true, whichever name the watcher mentions you'd know.
Oh that's smart, gotta say you have more then one pet incase they talk to each other
Wow good idea.
That's brilliant!

OK but theory for the Watcher case: it was someone who already knew the family and just chose their new move as an opportunity to hurt them, possibly someone jealous that they could afford such an expensive house. The neighbourhood planning committee denied their petition to demolish the house not because they were in on it but because they were also bitter towards the Broaddus family for having drawn so much attention to the community, and possibly for the family accusing neighbours they thought were responsible for the letters. Knowing such intimate details like the kids' nicknames really just makes me think it's a relative who's secretly bitter.
More likely that the family got in over its head with the expensive house and faked the whole thing.
They made a LOT of money off this story.
We need a rich person to buy the house and bulldoze it . Whoever comes out screaming from down the road losing their mind is your watcher 😂
Rich people bought the house. You need a big corporation who DGAF about history and who can write off a million bucks in lost equity.

For the watcher episode, it bugs me so much that they didn’t get cameras. It was 2017, they spent tons of money on renovations, why not spend another few hundred on cameras?
They did.
@@NekoAllenLover they didn’t get any footage?
@@widjadija From what I've heard from other people covering this case, they did get footage of someone at the mailbox, but couldn't tell from the footage who it was, and every other letter supposedly came from the mailman. In the video, however, Ryan said that there were cameras on the inside, so I'm not sure how accurate the camera footage was. Sorry.
@@widjadija like the letters could have been delivered by the mailman or something
Maybe I am mistaken, but I think this was solved and it was a woman who had wanted the home but each time it came on the market she was outbid.

"Maria's therapist said she was suffering from PTSD"

It's possible that information came in testimony from Maria, after the therapist diagnosed her.

Let us pretend we're eight. Who "said" the information?

i cried with the Van Gogh story. gosh. with the theory that the kids might accidentally shot him and he still covered for them so they won't get into trouble and that costs him his life, that's just bittersweet. so sad.

Yeah that is so me lmao. My parents used to ask me to pick up the mail whenever I got back from school ( not anymore tho cuz no schools ) and I would literally just take the stack, check for bills and just throw the rest into this ever growing pile of unopened letters and maybe coupons.
The watcher would be so frustrated with me because I don't even open the mailbox 😭
The Van Gogh episode is my favorite because I genuinely feel they solved it.
The fact that season 5 premiered more than 2 years ago and when they released the marathon just 9 months ago, it has already garnered more than 6 million episode... Speaks for itself

Yaretzy's Universe im aware, ive been following since they launched the channel. while im grateful for watcher and enjoy the content significantly more than the content on this channel, new content on watcher is not exactly the same as new buzzfeed unsolved episodes !
That's the problem, we've watched them all .
The theory that the couple wrote the letters to get out of buying the house makes no sense. When they finally found a family to move in, they wrote a clause in the agreement that if another letter arrived the agreement would be off. As it happens, another letter arrived. If they wanted to get out of owning the house, why would they send another letter to the new tenants?
old mate shooting himself and then getting back in his boat and running from the cops is the most australian thing i’ve seen today

I'm sorry but the idea that Van Gogh was a misunderstood victim who covered for his murderers because he knew it was an accident and didn't want to cost them their lives too just 😭
The Gordon Stewart Northcott murders could be it's own episode entirely. The podcast "Serial Killers" by Parcast did a two part series on him, where the nephew told his story in vivid detail. I have zero doubt that Gordon Stewart killed Walter Collins. He may have even been killed by the nephew, under the direction of Gordon and his psychotic mother. I 100% recommend listening to it.
Shane Ryan are the only people that can turn a mysterious murder story into a comedy show

"last thing I want after vomiting is to be killed"

Yessss kill me now
😂😂😂 this caught me just right
The last thing I want after vomiting is for my body to think it still should vomit despite not having anything to vomit.
Once went to the urgent care because pain was making me vomit, I couldn’t keep swallowed stuff down so they gave me a devolving anti nausea tablet, threw that up because of the taste. After that they just threw up their hand and said to just go to the emergency room. Probably also had something to do with not making it to the toilet in time while waiting, didn’t feel bad so bad that we ended up having to pay when they couldn’t do much. Luckily I’ve never vomited birds or rats. The arm I found laying around down town went down well too.

i'm literally obsessed with these episodes. you guys also started the "are you scared" series and I think that a lot of people would enjoying having more of those please!
the are you scared series is actually on shane and ryan and their buzzfeed coworker steven's channel called watcher. the are you scared series isnt buzzfeed content

their boardroom discussion impressions were super satisfying and on-point
''I know youve got him like threatening the house, what if he goes after us? yeah- the kids'' ''write it down''
''his father was a watcher... and so was his father before him ! ''
I remember watching this show with my older brother when I was like 6 and I loved it so much. I remember when we would click endlessly through many episodes of this amazing series and bond over it. Its so nostalgic for me and I love it. I remember after me and my brother's binge watching sessions, when my brother started watching other stuff, I would go over to my own laptop and watch the season marathons. I remember one particular afternoon when I watched s5 and s6 till around 11 pm, which at the time, was really late for me. I really like that a youngin like me, back then, could enjoy a show describing these gruesome murders and crimes lol. In conclusion, this show is my childhood. Thanks.
I hope Shane and Ryan are able to keep up unsolved and all of their other adventures in some form on their new channel. These guys just make me smile!

The Reykjavik case is so weird to me cause I remember hearing about "The Geirfinnur case" throughout most of my life but actually getting into the details I feel so embarrassed that my sweet little homeland messed up this big.
Also, last names in Iceland work different so two people having the same last name literally just means the two people had fathers with the same name.
As far as last names go, it’s the same here in the us, too. Just cause two people have the same last name doesn’t make them related. So I wouldn’t say it works differently, at least not from my standpoint 😊 I think Ryan said "no relation" just to clarify for the viewers
@@Violetfire343 True! That of course goes for everywhere in the world! But in Iceland they do construct last names in a different way then US, and Denmark, where I am from. Explained: If I'm a boy in Iceland (let's say my name is: Jack ), and my grandfather is called Dean, and my father: John.
My father would be John Deanson, and I would be Jack Johnsson.
Same for women/girls: I, myself, am called Marie let's pretend my mother's name is Susanne. So my name would be Marie Susannesdatter (datter=daughter) my daughter's would be Siri Mariesdatter. However, we don't construct last names like that anymore, in DK! It is, of course, how a lot of last names were made! But we don't use that tradition of last names neither in DK or US. In one family we normally have one last name, which both father, mother, daughters and sons are called. That's not how it works in Iceland.
So.. Trust the person who are talking about their own country ;)
@@AshtonishingJelly very true. It’s that way everywhere. It’s not that I wasn’t “trusting a person talking about their own country”, I was simply stating things from my standpoint. But also because Ryan and Shane are from the us as well, and that might be why he said what he did. No disrespect meant to anybody.
