| The Undateables / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: One of the more serious matchmaking shows on television, which is a rarity in this genre, given that most normally have some competition or comedy element - here, this is no-holds-barred and very serious. | |

| The Undateables / int_1c4e3202 | comment |
The Spook: Zig-zagged: sometimes we know a lot about the participant, other times their background is a complete mystery, but this is justified due to privacy reasons. | |

Speech-Centric Work | |
| The Undateables / int_24cf8a0e | comment |
Speech-Centric Work: For a documentary, there is a lot of speech on this show; it's often people sitting in a room talking to one another. | |

Relationship Revolving Door | |
| The Undateables / int_33d5c59d | comment |
Relationship Revolving Door: For participants who return, this trope is in play often because their relationship doesn't work out. | |

Disabled Love Interest | |
| The Undateables / int_6339e2bd | comment |
Disabled Love Interest: Very often the matchmaking agencies try and find someone equally compatible who is often disabled, although it's not always worked out. | |

British Brevity: Nearly every episode was very short in episode count, and there were no filler episodes. | |

Minimalist Cast | |
| The Undateables / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: The only people ever shown on screen are the participant, their parents, a dating expert and the participants' date. Only three people are shown each episode. Other background people do occur, but their faces are blurred out. | |

Status Quo Is God: In some cases, matchmaking did not work out and the individual in question returns to being single not long after. | |

Attractiveness Isolation | |
| The Undateables / int_ad0413db | comment |
Attractiveness Isolation: In some episodes, this was a very present trope; one woman had Asperger's Syndrome but complained that few people wanted to talk to her, despite her being attractive. | |
