* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'':
** PlayedForLaughs: In the game called (oddly enough) ''Whose Line'', Colin and Ryan are given slips of paper with pre-written lines to incorporate into the scene, and since the writing is usually done before the show starts, the WhamLine aspect of taking the scene in a different direction is unavoidable... but Colin and Ryan ''don't even miss a beat''.

* ''Wie is de Mol'', the Dutch version of what U.S./U.K. viewers might know better as ''Series/TheMole'', traditionally starts its seasons with its contestants scattered across a city and having to all meet at a specific location.

-->'''Ruben:''' Did you say Kiev?\\
'''Jan:''' Yes.\\
'''Ruben:''' We are not in Kiev, friend! We are in Almaty, Kazakhstan!\\

-->'''Sara''': Yeah, well, this time is different.
-->'''Warrick''': Yeah, why's that?
-->'''Sara''': Holly Gribbs died on the operating table twenty minutes ago.
** "Living Doll", in a line that casts the previous two seasons in an entirely new light:
-->'''Grissom''': [''about Sara''] I took away the only person she ever loved, so [[RelationshipReveal she's going to do the same thing to me.]]
** On a smaller scale, there's this bit from "And Then There Were None." The team are pursuing Darin Hanson, a casino robber suspected of [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness murdering his two accomplices]], when they discover the one of the casino's pit bosses was in on the heist. They get more than they bargained for when interrogating him.

--> '''Dave:''' We're changing sides? We're getting into bed with Cliff Barnes?
