** Teri's death at the very end of Day 1, while Jack sobs while cradling her body, as the show's first silent counter counts down the final three seconds to midnight, firmly establishing the AnyoneCanDie principle that held true for the rest of the run of the series.

* ''Series/TheFlash2014''': Barry running back in time at the very end of season 2 saving his mother, and causing Flashpoint. A moment that had repercussion not just for ''The Flash'' but the rest of ''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}''.

** From Day 2, Kim getting TrappedByMountainLions, a moment that had nothing to do with the overall plot and was so infamous that it coined the term and trope.

** The Eleventh Doctor's [[DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor explosive regeneration sequence]]. After fighting for hundreds of years to get home [[spoiler: to Galifrey]], he's dying of old age, seemingly out of options in the face of the Daleks. And then, [[spoiler: The Time Lords give up their chance to return to the universe]] by giving 11 a new set of 12 regenerations. And with this dramatic reset of his "lives", he gives an epic quip about "Never tell me the rules" and regenerates so explosively it displaces and destroys all the daleks in the area. Easily the most explosive regeneration sequence in Dr. Who's history, solving the 12 regenerations problem, and allowing Matt Smith to go out with a bang at the end of his tenure.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Joyce's death in the "The Body," it has been pointed out constantly that in a show where death is a prominent fixture, that the ordinary and natural passing away of Buffy's Mother, is also the series' most shattering and poignant. The episode is also significant for being the only one with '''no''' soundtrack. Like the show's iconic quips, critics had noted the show's use of its score. As a result, no music. Also: no supernatural shit anywhere, until the final scene. Just a dead body and the people who loved that person reacting to it.

** There's also the famous scene of Buffy pulling out a bazooka in a crowded mall to defeat a demon who boasted that "no weapon ''forged''" could hurt him.
--->'''Buffy:''' That was then. ''(reveals the rocket launcher)''' This is now.

** The explanation of the "D.E.N.N.I.S. System". It's largely well known due to how [[MemeticMutation memetic]] it is. Similarly, Dennis' "the implication" speech has also become incredibly memetic and a noteworthy example of the show's BlackComedy.

Note: the former is Dennis laying out a systematic plan for being an abuser and the latter is him laying out a plan for rape with the threat of death if the victims don't comply. That show didn't fuck around.

* ''Series/{{Arrow}}'': Stephen Amell working out shirtless on a Salmon Ladder. The CW's way of showing how a vigilante keeps up his physique between night, it gave a slice of {{Fanservice}} that everyone remembers, and became a recurring joke that finding Oliver on his Salmon Ladder was the best way for another character to find The Hood training between scenes.

It was even a ThrowItIn, since they only put it on every other episode after they learned that Amell can do a Salmon Ladder. Shirtless. [[FanService With his tattoos...]]
