* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UaFwGcHQ7Y George and Betty]], a fairly old PIF from the 1990s, seems to be about a happy elderly couple enjoying a nice night with each other, before the man in the couple decides to take out an electric blanket for them to both sleep under. Everything seems fine and dandy until the narrator comes in, stating "At George and Betty's night at romance, things got a bit..." - cue a shot of their bed, now ''burnt-out'' due to the electric blanket malfunctioning, presumably killing them both while they were sleeping, alongside the narrator stating [[IncrediblyLamePun "...too hot to handle!"]].

** Among others, in the ''LetsPlay/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.

* The final commercial in the Advertising/LongLongMan series of ads for Sakeru Gummy has the lead characters, Tooru and Chi-chan, getting married, when the enigmatic Long Long Man, who's been Tooru's romantic rival and the target of Chi's lust, shows up. The Long Long Man then delivers a LoveConfession while walking towards Chi... and the camera zooms in as [[MovingRightThrough he steps past her]] and towards Tooru. This recontextualizes the entire ad campaign by revealing that the Long Long Man was gay all along, and this whole time he was going after Tooru and not Chi.

Her word choice triggers a traumatic flashback for him -- and thanks to the Butterfly Brooch's power of Transmission, Marinette witnesses it too, seeing Emilie using the Peacock Pin. While she only recognizes her as 'another Mayura' rather than Emilie Agreste, the memory has ''enormous'' implications regarding how she fell comatose in the first place.

* ''Webcomic/InvertedFate'':
** In part 39, "Captain Cryptic" (whom the audience knows is Chara) decides to take on more of an active role in helping Frisk through the CORE. In doing so, their dialogue boxes now have their face in them, and stay that way.
** In part 45, the SOUL mode from Mad Mew Mew is shown to have made Chara visible while temporarily separating them from Frisk, who looks at them in shock over the fact that they're a human.
** 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.
** At the end of part 50, the transition screen into the Toriel fight sees the green human SOUL appear in Toriel's spot.
** In part 53, Mettaton leads Frisk and Papyrus to the conspicuous covered object sitting in the corner of the house. He pulls off the blue sheet, revealing a golden statue of Chara; the one that was missing from the fountain at the MTT Resort.
** Towards the end of part 61, after Flowey absorbs the [=SOULs=] of the remaining monsters, he breaks the barrier. After the credits, a new intro plays that shows him leaving for the surface, and Chara's hand is seen coming out of the ground, revealing that [[BackFromTheDead he brought them back to life]].

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* Given the visual storytelling that goes into pro-wrestling, a lot of the biggest and most game-changing moments come in the form of these. Some of the biggest examples include:
** Wrestling/HulkHogan looking like he's coming in to save Wrestling/RandySavage from The Outsiders, [[FaceHeelTurn only to drop the leg on Savage]] [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder and celebrate with Hall and Nash]] marks a major turn in the landscape of pro wrestling.
** [[Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob Shawn Michaels locking Bret Hart in the Sharpshooter and the bell ringing despite Bret not tapping]] kickstarts the Attitude Era.
** Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin [[FaceHeelTurn shaking hands]] with longtime enemy Mr. [=McMahon=] ends the Attitude Era.
** Wrestling/EricBischoff nonchalantly appearing backstage on Raw to become the General Manager after having been president of WCW shows that anybody can appear even if they nearly drove Vince out of business (doubles as a Wham Shot for the guys backstage too as almost nobody was informed ahead of time Bischoff would even be in the building).
** Similarly Wrestling/LexLuger appearing on the very first ''Nitro'' despite seemingly being under WWE contract at the time helps put the Monday Night Wars into full gear and shocked everyone in the building as nobody was expecting him either.
** At the 2016 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'', the words [[Wrestling/AJStyles I Am Phenomenal]] appearing on the titantron signal the long-awaited debut of possibly the biggest star to never fully work for WWE.
