Often an entry will lead the reader in a certain direction by deliberately not revealing all of the object's qualities; the WhamLine will then drastically change the tone of the piece. Particularly good ones are for SCP-1025, SCP-804, SCP-089, and SCP-093's associated entries.

** "Church, there's no such thing as ghosts. You're one of them. You're an AI. You...are the Alpha."
** "Sincerely yours, the former director of Project Freelancer, Doctor Leonard Church."
** "Buenos Dias, [[ClusterFBomb cockbites]]. Guess whose back?" It's Tex.
** Washington drops this bombshell in ''Reconstruction'': "You ''actually'' think you're ''real'' soldiers?! You guys are '''nothing'''!"
