History Main / WhamShot

* ''WebVideo/HalfLifeButTheAIIsSelfAware'': The science team arrives on Xen in Act 4, and Gordon looks around on the floating island they arrived on to see Benrey's become [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever HUGE]] and floating in the air, revealing his [[EldritchAbomination true identity.]]

* There are several in ''LetsPlay/{{Dream}}'s'' videos.
** In the 2 Hunters video, Dream is falling off the edge of the End and into the void. George then kills Sapnap. And then we see a few Ender Pearls drop right into Dream's hotbar.

* ''VisualNovel/FamicomDetectiveClub: The Missing Heir'' has a two-in-one example. When the Ayashiro Family's tomb is finally opened with Genshin's permission, Akira Ayashiro is found to have been stuffed inside, with Kiku's corpse nowhere to be found. Examining this causes the protagonist to finally remember how he fell off Unakami Cliff and lost his memory in the first place: Akira attacked and threw him off the cliff.

** Among others, in the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', during the SMP war, Wilbur defies Dream's ultimatum and declares that he'd rather die than betray his own cause, being unfazed by a block of TNT. As Dream detonates the block of TNT, the L'Manburgians then see [[StuffBlowingUp hundreds of blocks of TNT under the cracked surface of L'Manburg]], a few of them primed to explode from the initial blast.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdUiCJnRptk This]] KPop music video ends with one. At first, it seems that [[LoveTriangle a man is jealous of his best friend for marrying a girl he liked]] (to add insult to injury, the groom made him his best man) and at the end angrily tears up a photo of them together. Then comes the wham shot...where he pushes the pictures of the groom and ''himself'' together--[[StraightGay he was in love with]] ''the groom''. [[IncompatibleOrientation It was the bride he was jealous of]].

* ''Roleplay/DarkWorldRolePlay'' (''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''): A few, but the first and most striking is from when [[spoiler: Bolt]] scares off You Are An Idiot by inserting a [[ConnectedAllAlong Blue]] [[TransformationTrinket Tooth]] and "actively threatening the hit man". What makes this trope apply is that the moment was accompanied by an actual illustration!

** Chapter 10: [[spoiler:The Plain Doll is seen in the Hunter's Dream cleaning Cyril's grave, after an unknown amount of time has passed since the battle between Cyril and Gehrman.]]
** Chapter 16: [[spoiler:Sierra's consciousness ends up in the Hunter's Dream.]]

** In part 48, when Sans wants to prevent Frisk from running straight to Toriel after they ended up [[spoiler:causing Undyne and Mettaton to amalgamate]], it seems as if there will be another fight against him. But then when it gets to Papyrus's turn, the battle interface switches over to Frisk, and continues to do so for his turns as he tries to talk them out of it.

* ''Fanfic/MarvelFalls'': [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 4, it's revealed that Lil' Gideon has Maximus the Mad as his prisoner. And had also learned from him that Kamala's powers came from Terrigen Crystals.]]

** Chapter 8: Typical [[AntiHero Kyril]] approaching a heavily injured man and interrogating him of course... wait, [[spoiler:why does Kyril have tendrils out of his hand?]]
** Chapter 14: [[spoiler:Luu-Luu, under Shamuhaza's mercy]].

* ''WebAnimation/ReturnToKrocodileIsle'': At the end of the song, the climatic showdown between K. Rool and Donkey Kong [[ClimacticVolcanoBackdrop in a volcano]] cuts away to [[spoiler:K. Rool having set fire to his cellar, laughing maniacally among his burning dummies of DK and the Kremling Krew. This shot completely recontextualizes everything that came before it as merely an ImagineSpot.]]

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'':
** ''WebVideo/SCPOverlord'':
*** The first shot of the people hovering above the trees.
*** The very last shot before the credits.

* At the end of his Christmas 2013 episode, WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd finds a good ComicBook/SpiderMan game... that has [[BigBad LJN]]'s logo on it.

* There are several in ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' videos.

--->'''Henry''': I just wanted my family back. To know that they're all right. To see my daughter again. To hold my wife. [[http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/603095.html#608073 I'd kill for that.]]

--->"Nan, you've done so much for us. Ever since we've been here. You've done more than any of us. It's not fair of me to treat you like this, after everything. Because I asked you to pick between us, you already had to make [[SadisticChoice one hard decision]]. You shouldn't have to make another. [[http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/636485.html#645915 So I'm making the choice for you.]]"

---> "Nan, I won't let you leave. [[DeathSeeker Not until you have taken my life.]] I hope that one day you will under-- my convictions. But believe me wh-- that it must be you. I pray to God-- will be able to do what must be-- and I can only beg your forgiveness."
* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'': Like with the original series, the purple 'Immortal Object' popup (which usually indicates scenery and other things players aren't supposed to destroy) is this, twice. First, the popup appears over Yui when she easily defeats a powerful monster, and the second time it appears over Heathcliff when Kirito attacks him after connecting his [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to Kayaba's.

* WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows is all set to watch the movie that One-Hit Wonderland subject "St. Elmo's Fire" originates from...then he sees [[Creator/{{Joel Schumacher}} who the director is]].
