25	* Chapter 30 of ''Webcomic/BailinAndLiYun'' has a big one, moreso because of who says it than what is said:

27	* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', "[[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/070721 Everything You Know is Wrong]]":

33	* ''Webcomic/CityOfReality'': "Take me back. Now."
34	* ''Webcomic/ClownCorps'': Mustard manages to knock off [[EnemyMime Echo's]] mask during their fight at the arcade, which itself is a minor WhamShot showing that Echo is mute because her [[MouthStitchedShut mouth has been stitched shut]]. The real kicker, however, is what she says ''after''.
35	-->'''Mustard''': It's her. It's [[DeathByOriginStory Maggie]]. My sister is ''alive''.
36	* ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'': Chardonnay's verbal slips change the entire tenor of the quest -- up to now, it had been the usual journey against an ancient evil resurrected, but from here on in the heroes' journey becomes a question of why the evil ''keeps on'' being resurrected.

53	* ''Webcomic/{{Dissonance}}'': The setting is an entirely ordinary (but fictional) university. The main characters have discovered an unusual, undocumented kind of animal which they have named "Pandora". They've discovered that she has a number of unusual traits; she can stand on two legs, her mane glows in the dark, and she cares for injured rodents, despite resembling a cat. A reporter hears about it:
54	-->'''Ceyla:''' So, Sarah. Your pre-print on the scientific journals stated your discovery of Pandora could reshape the current view of the history of evolution, do you really think she is that important of a discovery?\
55	'''Sarah:''' Yes.\
56	''[{{Beat}}]''\
57	'''Ceyla:''' There is an online movement claiming your videos and your discovery are a hoax, do you believe the scientific community can look past these allegations?\
58	'''Sarah:''' Yes.\
59	'''Ceyla:''' Many fans of Pandora are concerned for her safety in this school, can you reassure our viewers that no harm will come to her in the name of science?\
60	'''Sarah:''' Yes.\
61	'''Ceyla:''' That was "good", but maybe you could elaborate a little more? I feel like I could get a livelier interview out of Pandora. ''[to Pandora]'' What do you think, cutie? Would you like your own interview?\
62	'''Pandora:''' Yes.
63	* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2011-04-15 had one]]: "David Johann, the King of Callan."

66	''[...]''\
67	'''Number Zero:''' That was her name, Number One. Before the world changed.
68	* ''Webcomic/ElectricWonderland'':
69	** The sixth story ends with NJ trying to call the police to arrest Aerynn Arlia. The cop he talks to, Natasha Wing, refuses to believe NJ's report because she never encountered Aerynn in all her years of crimefighting. It sounds like a foolish reason not to take any action, until...
70	--->'''Natasha:''' I've also studied the physics code for [[{{Cyberspace}} the Internet]] and over half the powers you told me are impossible. IM. POSSIBLE.
71	** Later, Trawn and NJ discover that the government's magic-seeking equipment never detects Aerynn's brand of magic. NJ then asked if this meant they can't find anyone who practices the powers as Aerynn, so she answered, "No one has my powers, [[EmbarrassingFirstName Nate]]!" He subsequently demanded to know exactly ''how'' powerful she is. She admitted, "I don't know... [[WillfullyWeak because there are a lot of things I'm afraid to try]]!" This sounds especially surprising after she spent nearly all of the previous comics performing actions possible only through RuleOfFunny.
72	* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'':
73	** An example both hilarious and tragic occurs [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/596/ when Venus reveals why she wants to kill Izzy]].

76	--->'''F.M.:''' It just seemed like the right thing to do. After all... ''[[EvilAllAlong I'm the guy that got your mom hooked on drugs in the first place]]!''
77	** At first, Izzy's conquest of Florida seemed to be little more than her run-of-the-mill hedonistic tendencies. Then, she takes a trip to [[http://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1393 the hospital her mother's been set up in]].
78	--->'''Izzy:''' You know I had to take over a whole fucking state just to feel strong enough to do [[ConverseWithTheUnconscious this]]?
79	* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'': [[http://archives.erfworld.com/Book%201/147 Book 1]]. Parson, his remaining friends, and their last few "uncroaked" zombie troops trapped in the [[VolcanoLair ruins of their own city]], massively outnumbered by the enemy, and will likely be croaked within minutes.

80	-->'''Parson:''' Thinkamancer! Form a link-up with the [[{{Necromancer}} Croakamancer]] and the [[DishingOutDirt Dirtamancer]]. I want you to try to ''uncroak'' the volcano.
81	* ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}'': "The Rats in the School Walls" StoryArc has Erma and her friends following Sidney and Principal Phibes into a settlement of RatMen under the school. While talking to the settlement's leader, the apparently human Sidney says this:
82	-->'''Sidney:''' I know... I just... I don't think it's right, [[HalfHumanHybrid Dad]]!
83	* ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'': Ian's descent into TheMadnessPlace gets a helpful [[https://www.errantstory.com/?p=598 kickstart]] from Riley.
84	-->'''Riley:''' Ian... Ian, something bad happened a little while after you left and... gah... I don't know how to tell you this... I mean, honestly, we had kinda hoped you weren't coming back... and all that stuff about finding a way to heal Evelyn was just an excuse to run away from everything back home... it would have been easier...\
85	'''Ian:''' Riley, calm down... what are you talking about?\
86	'''Riley:''' Well, see, your mom--\
87	'''Ian:''' I could give a fuck about that crazy bitch, what happened to Lyn?!\
88	'''Riley:''' No, that's what I'm trying to tell you, she... she's... ...\
89	''[screams from Riley, Leah and Meji as Ian launches himself like a ballistic missile]''
90	* ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'': [[http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1300 Rikk has just sold his soul to keep his friends safe]]:

93	** After Todd defeats a TerminatorImpersonator with the help of Nick and Ki, he escapes with a truck and reveals his relationship to his rescuers.
94	--->'''Todd:''' ''[thinking]'' [[KidFromTheFuture Thanks, Mom and Dad]].
95	** Near the end of Trent's lawsuit against Fred, Nicole decides to address Trent's claims of libel against Fred. Nicole points out that most of the claims are opinion, and so do not count as libel. That only leaves the claim that Trent attempted murder, at which point one of Trent's past misdeeds comes back to haunt him.
96	--->'''Nicole:''' Admittedly, calling someone an attempted murderer is harsh, but tell me, Mr. Terrell, what ''were'' you doing before you were hired by GPF Software?[[note]]He tried to drop a safe on Dwayne in order to frame Trudy, who had actually dropped safes on several of GPF's competitors.[[/note]]
97	** After Ki tells Nick the story of her prior engagement with Sam and [[AttemptedRape its traumatic ending]], Nick changes the subject. The following line isn't a Wham Line because of the secret discussed, but rather because Nick is aware of it.
98	--->'''Nick:''' So now that that's done and over with, can we talk about our time traveling son from the alternate future?
99	** After the flood, Fooker goes to his ex-girlfriend Sharon to apologize, only to overhear this conversation, which leaves him in a HeroicBSOD.
100	--->'''Sharon:''' Dex and I will be staying at his folks' place for a while.\
101	'''Dexter:''' Yeah, they can still hardly believe it... I've finally got a ''girlfriend''.
102	** While Trudy and Yoshi are discussing Ki, and Trudy is hesitant to go see her. He drops this line, which reveals that Nick will be home fairly soon.
103	--->'''Yoshi:''' Just as well, I guess. She's too wrapped up in her loser boyfriend. He'll be back any minute now...
104	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
105	** "[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040726 What -- Judy!]]"[[note]]Klaus, upon seeing Agatha's "mother" Lilith Clay, recognizes her as one of the famous [[ArtificialHuman constructs]] created by his old friends, the Heterodyne Boys. Since Judy and her husband are protecting Agatha, that obviously means she's a Heterodyne, heir to one of the most powerful families in Europa.[[/note]]
106	** "Oh, and I saw the Baron a bit when I was on Castle Wulfenbach. But I had to run away when everybody found out [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051109 I was a Heterodyne]]."[[note]]Agatha gets dosed with a {{Truth Serum\|s}} (only revealed in the following page) and starts spilling all her secrets to a bunch of extremely dangerous people she just met.[[/note]]

SSSSSS!]]"[[note]]The reaction of a [[EvilDetectingDog revenant-detecting creature]] upon exposure to Gilgamesh Wulfenbach. This is especially important because we, the readers, know that Klaus (the one holding the detector) is already infected, meaning that he is being forced to accuse his own son to keep him contained.[[/note]]
111	** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130617 "Two and a half years."]][[note]]Agatha discovering how long they were gone.[[/note]]

117	* ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'': [[http://girlyyy.com/go/697 Courtesy of Otra]] -- "It was all a lie."
118	* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'': Courtesy of the Demonic Parasite -- "I see a paladin soul, ripe for suffering and holding the second [[SealedEvilInACan Prissan]]. But not the paladin soul I was expecting. Where is the creator of the axe? The one we cursed. Where is [[TheDreaded Kore]]?"
119	* ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'':
120	** First, in "Mattcast":
121	--->'''Roomie:''' [[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/comic/girlfriend-name So you had a girlfriend]], huh? What was her name?\
122	'''Matt:''' Oh, um... Lillian. Lillian Tallis.
123	** Second, in "Sexxx?":

125	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
126	** "It was real. The monster was a golem created by one who must be found. The girl is a good Samaritan [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight who can fly]]. [[BrokenMasquerade What was seen is what was]]."
127	** Before that, the end of Sister II:
128	--->'''Pandora Chaos Raven:''' Very well. You want to make a difference? You want a world you can freely participate in? ''I will give it to you.''
129	** One from magic algea-eater whale-thing:
130	--->''"For one, those [[TransformationTrinket watches]] of yours wouldn't work anywhere else in the world."''
131	** In the appropriately titled "End of an Era":
132	--->'''Sarah:''' I think I want to be "{{just friends}}" with Elliot.
133	** A seemingly background character makes herself relevant, along with a long-forgotten detail:
134	--->'''Charlotte:''' I also figured you two (Ellen and Nanase) were a good choice because I graduated from Moperville South last year and I have a doll with Nanase's face on it.
135	** Diane has a few of these in Family Tree.
136	--->"If you must know, I was born ten minutes before midnight."[[note]]This is relevant because Susan, whose resemblance to Diane has been pointed out, was born ten minutes after midnight, on New Year's Day. Average birth time between twins is seventeen minutes... and Diane is adopted.[[/note]]\
137	"Did... Did they look like that before?"\
138	"Can you fix this with your magic, Nanase?"
139	** At the End of Family Tree:
140	--->'''Jerry:''' So yeah! I saved Susan's long-lost sister and the busty chick who's also part of the debt!
141	** A TearJerker on the second-to-last page of "Identity":

144	--->'''Immortal/ Voltaire:''' I shall begone. Fare thee well, Elliot Dunkel.
145	** In a side story, Pandora's discovery of a side character's progress:
146	--->'''Pandora:''' That's a new spell. So was the spell she used to shrink Catalina. When the hell did she awaken?! I thought her a D-rank talent with an S-rank spell when I marked her, but she's not. Rhoda's one hundred percent S-rank.
147	** "Because the next incident could be the last straw, and that would solve the problem for decades."
148	** "Can you start by explaining why your son [Raven] looks like my [Susan's] dad?"

155	'''Antimony:''' ... Father?\
156	'''Coyote:''' The reason I love humans so! The reason Ysengrin '''seethes''' with anger! My secret... is this... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. DO NOT. EXIST!]][[note]]The chapter had, up until that point, seemed a light-hearted interlude with Coyote, before taking a sudden turn into a discussion of key setting metaphysics and speculation of the motivations of major characters and forces (ultimately escalating into Ysengrim inexplicably attacking Annie).[[/note]]\
157	'''Jones:''' And to answer your previous question... I do not know what I am.\
158	'''Headmaster Llanwellyn:''' Andrew Smith, the Court has decided that you shall be the next medium.\
159	'''Coyote:''' Up until now, grumpy old Ysengrin has been our measly medium. But in light of recent events, I have just now decided to retire him from his role! Fire head girl! I want you to be my new medium to the court! An honorary citizen of the forest!\
160	'''Mort:''' I know you can do it Annie! And to help you practice... I want you to take me into the ether.
161	** [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1049 One day, Zimmy.]]
162	** "I am the seed bismuth."[[note]]{{Subverted\|Trope}} -- he's not, as Coyote proves.[[/note]]
163	** From Chapter 51, not so much a spoken line, but a name written on a classroom chalkboard -- ''Mr. Carver''.
164	** From Chapter 53:
165	--->'''Anthony:''' ''[referring to Annie]'' How could she live with the man that killed her mother?[[note]]Up until this point, it has been hinted that Anthony blames Annie for her mother's death. This line says just the opposite: he blames ''[[MyGreatestFailure himself]].''[[/note]]
166	* ''Webcomic/HaruSari'': "Come on, Cygnet, this isn't even your room!"
167	* ''Webcomic/HisFaceAllRed'' opens with one.
168	-->'''Younger Brother:''' This man is not my brother. My brother has a cottage with a hawthorne tree and a lilac bush. And a plump wife with starry eyes. My brother has a fine coat, a vest the color of moss, and a way with people that makes them trust him. This man has all those things. (And my brother's face. His handsome face.) But just last week... I killed my brother.
169	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has quite a few, due in no small part to its status as a {{Long Runner\|s}}:
170	** From Act 2, John believes he's figured out that the purpose of ''Sburb'' is for the players to save the world from the meteors; however, Nannasprite is quick to set the record straight:
171	--->'''Nannasprite:''' Oh no, I'm afraid not!\
172	'''Nannasprite:''' [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Your planet is done for]], dear! [[ForegoneConclusion There is nothing you can do about that]]!
173	** From the Intermission, Spades Slick reveals why Snowman is the only one of the Felt he doesn't plan to kill:
174	--->''Everyone always ceases gunplay when Snowman's around.\
175	If you kill her you destroy the universe.''
176	** From Act 4, this line clues us in to the fact that the flash-forward to Rose and Dave is a little bit more than a TimeSkip:
177	--->'''Dave:''' [[BadFuture cant finish the game]] with [[OurHeroIsDead a dead heir and witch]]
178	** The very last lines of Act 5 Act 1, revealing the ''true'' purpose of ''Sburb'':
179	--->'''Aradia:''' and yet in being denied the ultimate reward\
180	'''Aradia:''' we w0uld be barred fr0m entry\
181	'''Aradia:''' int0 the universe we created
182	** During Act 5 Act 2, as Jade's lab is about to be destroyed, the narrative suddenly shifts to [[TheStoner Gamzee]] watching the scene unfold on his computer, and we get this unexpected bit of narration:
183	--->> Elsewhere...\
184	''While a timer counts down with no particular clock stepping forward to claim it...\
185	The most important character in Homestuck fondly regards the miracle of a new beginning.''
186	** In [S] Kanaya: Return To The Core, Eridan makes his plans known when Feferi begs him to not fight Jack:
187	--->'''Eridan:''' of course im not gonna fight him i stand no chance in hell against that guy\
188	'''Eridan:''' [[LesCollaborateurs im goin to join him]]
189	** Two in quick succession during the conversation when Karkat attempts to contact Gamzee to warn him of Eridan's rampage.
190	--->'''Gamzee:''' honk[[note]]Gamzee's usual typing quirk is to alternate upper-and-lower-case letters; the fact that he has changed this pattern [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness means something is very wrong]][[/note]]\
191	''[...]''\
192	'''Gamzee:''' shut up.\
193	'''Karkat:''' WHAT...\
194	'''Gamzee:''' [[BewareTheSillyOnes I SAID SHUT THE MOTHERFUCK UP, MOTHERFUCKER]].
195	** During Vriska and Terezi's confrontation on the roof, Doc Scratch's narration describes how Vriska's plan to stop Bec Noir will ultimately lead to the deaths of Karkat and Terezi... and then abruptly -- almost casually -- reveals how exactly Terezi is going to stop Vriska from accomplishing that plan:
196	--->''What sort of story would this be, with our Knight and Seer made to stay cadavers? Certainly not one the alpha timeline would allow.\
197	[[KilledOffForReal And not one she'd allow either]].''[[note]]For bonus points, this one is accompanied by the WhamShot of Terezi [[TearJerker stabbing Vriska through the heart]].[[/note]]
198	** During the [=[o]ntermission=], Doc Scratch reveals a piece of information that completely changes the audience's perception of a ''huge'' chunk of troll lore, as well as reveals exactly how long a game Scratch has been playing:
199	--->''Once, in this very universe, you could say, Alternia was home to a peaceful race. Trollkind had never known the corrupting influence in their evolution which led them to perpetual war and violence.\
200	That is to say, [[TheManBehindTheMan they had never known me]].''
201	** But the best one of all from Doc Scratch is his last line in the comic, revealed only after his death, as part of the "[S] Cascade" animation which ends Act 5:
202	--->''[[AllAccordingToPlan S u c k e r s]].''
203	** PlayedForLaughs (mostly) in Act 6 Intermission 3, as John has a stunning realization in the midst of watching ''Film/ConAir'':
204	--->'''John:''' jade?\
205	'''Jade:''' hm?\
206	'''John:''' i think i just realized something.\
207	'''Jade:''' what?\
208	'''John:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness THIS MOVIE FUCKING SUCKS!!!]]
209	** The climax of Act 6 Act 5 has a ''page title'' that manages to act as this:

211	** As John prepares to use the final keyword on Terezi's list -- "[[CallBack FL1P]]" -- the audience gets to see the instruction below it... and the exact nature of the changes Terezi has been having John make to the timeline suddenly becomes crystal clear:
212	--->''[=KNOCK H3R OUT!=] [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong YOU C4N'T L3T M3 K1LL H3R]]''
213	** From the follow-up, ''Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues'', we have this line from the prologue as Rose reveals exactly why she has summoned John to meet with her:
214	--->'''Rose:''' You must travel [[MediumAwareness back into canon]] and [[AbortedArc defeat Lord English]].
215	** Later in the Epilogues, we have this line from partway into the "Meat" route. This one in particular is doubly surprising, not just because of what it says, or because it's said by the narrator, or even the fact that [[BreakingTheFourthWall it is addressed to the reader]], but because the [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience text color]] abruptly changes from the narrator's usual black to [[NarratorAllAlong Dirk Strider]]'s orange.
216	--->''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou But you already knew that, didn't you?]]''
217	** On [[MeaningfulReleaseDate October 25]], 2019, the official Homestuck account on Website/{{Twitter}} posted [[https://twitter.com/homestuck/status/1187760758316253184 this]]:

221	--->'''Grape:''' After all, when I hang out with the guys I don't have to hide my femininity.
222	** The first full human face is revealed in the comic:
223	--->'''Joel:''' I was kidnapped by my own pets once.
224	** The near the end of "Imaginate, Too!":
225	--->'''Grape:''' Isn't it because you have a crush on me?
226	** Tarot reveals a portion of her other-worldly powers:
227	--->'''Tarot:''' ''[to King]'' Sorry, I don't date humans.
228	** Near the end of Christmas 2014:
229	--->'''King:''' Bailey, will you marry me?
230	** During the wedding of "Jungle Fever":
231	--->'''Fido:''' I AM IN LOVE WITH SABRINA D'ANGELO![[note]]Not exactly one for the readers, but mostly in-universe for the cast of the comic.[[/note]]
232	** During the beginning of "Heaven is Not Enough, Part 1":
233	--->'''Bailey:''' TAKE ME INSTEAD!
234	** During the middle of "Heaven is not Enough, Part 1", when Pete has taken Bailey away from King:
235	--->'''Once-King, now Joel:''' I don't believe you, but I don't think there's much else I can do to prepare you, so...\
236	'''Fox:''' ...King?
237	** Near the end of "Heaven is Not Enough, Part 1":
238	--->'''Cerberus: THEN COME. HEAVEN AWAITS.'''
239	** When King has rescued Bailey from her obligation to fight:
240	--->'''Pete:''' '''HEY! IS THIS WHERE ALL THE LOSERS AT?!'''\
241	'''Spirit Dragon:''' Pete, you don't need to talk with the big voice.\
242	'''Pete:''' See? You're '''ALWAYS''' the spoilsport.\
243	'''Spirit Dragon:''' '''I AM NOT!'''

245	--->'''Pete: [[VillainousBreakdown THROW A PUNCH OR I SWEAR I'LL DESTROY IT!]]'''\
246	'''Joel:''' Is that the best you got, chicken dinner?
247	** When Kitsune gives King a choice to either be a human or be a dog:
248	--->'''Joel:''' ''[now permanently King]'' I was... I was right.\
249	'''Bailey:''' You did it, King! It's over!
250	** At the end of Year 7:
251	--->'''Bailey:''' I usually don't go for fried food, but I ''am'' eating for four now!\
252	'''King:''' ''[freezes for a BeatPanel]''\
253	'''Bailey:''' Did I forget to mention that?

256	'''Keene:''' Mr. Milton?!

261	* This [[https://www.tumblr.com/tooquirkytolose/669432619102011392/how-lucky-i-am webcomic and poem]] titled "How Lucky I Am" centers around an overworked and abused maid in the Edwardian Era. After unionizing her coworkers and making the best of her situation both fail, she finds another way [[TakeAThirdOption to]] [[TheDogBitesBack change]] [[EatTheRich things]]:
262	--->'''Maid:''' Tonight they’ll feast on sweetmeats and wine/On comfort and easy life/Tonight I’ll feast on justice dealt…/With the help of a simple knife.\
263
264	* ''Webcomic/IWantToBeACuteAnimeGirl'': When Delilah asks her friends a theoretical question about how they'd react if she came out as trans,[[note]]She's not trans herself, but has another friend who is[[/note]] they say they'd be supportive, but then Gina casually acts like it's normal for girls to want to be guys, drastically shifting the tone of the conversation as the rest of the group processes the fact that they might have a friend who's ''actually'' trans but unaware of the fact.
265	* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'':
266	** Kell, feeling guilty for driving Kevin to reach out to his estranged parents again, sets off on an ill-advised venture to the Rabbit Warren, where any predators who intrude are sentenced to death. Luckily, however, she saved a rabbit on the way in, and [[LaserGuidedKarma said rabbit returns, passes her off as his daughter, and helps her escape]]. Once they're out of the hole and reunited with Kevin, he greets the rabbit with the following line.
267	--->'''Kevin:''' Thanks, Dad.
268	** While talking with his mother, Kevin learns a tidbit about his past that he'd never heard about before.
269	--->'''Dorothy:''' Is that another request for an {{arranged marriage}} with Coney?\
270	'''Kevin:''' Yes, Mom... an archaic, backward tradition!\
271	'''Dorothy:''' I know, it's too bad the one I set up for you in infancy didn't work out.
272	** After the intruder identifies himself as a political operative for Kevin's Rabbit Council opponent.
273	--->'''Kevin:''' But I'm not up for re-election for years!\
274	'''Intruder:''' Check that. You're facing a recall.
275	** When Rudy [[TemptingFate asks who would be unlucky enough to have to give Vin Vulpen a tail transplant]] (something that can only be done between blood relatives), Lindesfarne holds a ruler at his tail and says "Four inches should do it." The ensuing conversation reveals that he's Vin's half-brother since they have the same father but different mothers. Rudy fervently denies it, until Kell steps in and reveals that she suspected that her husband had been unfaithful.
276	--->'''Rudy:''' Dad was a good person! He was in love with Mom! He'd never cheat on her! It's a lie! It's a slur! It's--\
277	'''Kell:''' It's something I hope neither you nor [[BastardBastard Vin]] inherited from him.
278	** "Kell... you... you ''won''. '''You're''' the new CEO of Herd Thinners!"
279	** After it's revealed that the evidence connecting Kevin's father and Angelique to killing Sid was done to them by the other in the hopes of FramingTheGuiltyParty, this exchange happens.
280	--->'''Papa Kindle:''' But if neither of us is the killer, then who is?\
281	'''Danielle:''' I'd say there's a 100% chance it's me, Daddy
282	** One of the earliest Wham Lines that is now approaching ItWasHisSled territory:
283	--->'''Nigel:''' When do you think they'll catch on that we birds run the world?
284	** The most recent one:
285	--->'''Fenton:''' ''[as Lindesfarne throws up in the bathroom]'' Wait... [[MorningSickness she was the designated driver]]...
286	* ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix'':
287	** "...I didn't know you were still affected by that."
288	** Earlier, from Alex's story (after 8-year-old Alex explains to an equally young Jamie how two men have sex): "I... I think I've done that."
289	** And from Charlie's story, after a GangOfBullies attacks her and her friend Tom for being transgender, we get this from said bullies' leader, about Tom...
290	--->'''Natalie Geln:''' [[MoralEventHorizon Rape her while she's unconscious]].
291	* ''Webcomic/KidRadd'':
292	** Sheena saves Radd's life after he takes a bit of corrupted code, then reveals that she isn't letting him off the hook for his illegal actions.
293	--->'''Sheena:''' Besides, if you'd died, how could I arrest you?
294	** After Sheena and Radd barely escape from the destroyed Kid Radd 2, they have to fight off a large number of Moderator ships. After their hard-fought victory, Sheena reveals that they only destroyed a fraction of the Moderators' forces.
295	--->'''Sheena:''' The Mods have already won. [[YouAreTooLate By now]], Reset has fallen.
296	** Radd races ahead to Chimera Point, hoping to stop Crystal before she fuses with several sprites and becomes all-powerful. Radd faces down the sprite fusion, only to learn that it's not who he thinks it is.
297	--->''"No no no, Crystal has left the building... YOU'RE TALKING TO THE SEER."''
298	* ''Webcomic/KiwiBlitz'': She's talking to Cho, who has just accused her of being a spy for ALTER.
299	-->'''Celeste:''' ...I never did like you much.
300	* ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'':
301	** [[http://lfgcomic.com/page/422 "He's not dead."]]
302	** And, on a related note, [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/474 "Ow?"]]
303	** [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/533 "I'm slowly turning human."]]
304	* ''Webcomic/TheMeek'': "The Emperor must die." Especially as the character saying those words ([[spoiler:the Emperor's eldest daughter, Rana]]), had apparently spent the entire chapter seemingly dismissing complaints about the Emperor and either tacitly approving of or not caring about the Emperor's actions. As the author said in the strip's discussion "If you want, go back and reread [the chapter], some of the scenes might have a different weight now."
305	* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'': "If I sleep with you, will you go away?"
306	* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'': [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20100513.html Courtesy of Yuki]] (NSFW) -- "Promise we'll be like this forever... Garii."
307	* During the goodnight scene in ''Webcomic/ModestMedusa'' -- More so for [[ParentalSubstitute Charles]] than the audience, since he never met [[CuteMonsterGirl Modest]]'s family:
308	-->'''Charles:''' What are you afraid of?\
309	'''Modest:''' Vampires. And pirates. And [[WouldHurtAChild my dad]].
310	* ''Webcomic/MissGuillotine'': Courtesy of Kayla -- "No! The revelation! The revelation was no doubt YOUR voice, Callie!"
311	* ''Webcomic/MonsterPulse'':
312	-->'''Dr. Lulenski:''' I DON'T WANT TO SEE![[note]]Right before she delivers a MercyKill to her ghost-infected coworker.[[/note]]
313	** Able freaks out during the above scene, and chapter 8 reveals why...
314	--->'''Able:''' ''[after killing a finger-based monster, causing the hand of the girl to whom it belongs to bleed]'' That's what happens when a monster dies. The body acts like it really did lose the part.\
315	'''Julie:''' You... have you killed a monster before?\
316	'''Able:''' ...
317	-->'''Rjinder:''' I didn't tell her about you... isn't that what you wanted?[[note]]Rjinder is speaking to his monster here, against his earlier claim to Dr. Lulenski that "she" is a mindless tool with no intelligence. [[SarcasmMode One that could not possibly have a will that may involve killing him or torturing him into compliance]].[[/note]]\
318	'''Violet:''' There is no need to explain what is already known.[[note]]Violet reveals that she knows what Able did, despite him never telling her and was actually about to confess.[[/note]]
319	* ''[[http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com Mortifer]]'':
320	** "That's... Well, that's impossible... There was only one demon with that name, and he died off hundreds of years ago."
321	** "The new leader of the black market, Vlademyre Hynner."
322	** "We have a demon of our own."
323	** "That's when I started to realize something. This entire business had to be crushed, and all its people have to pay for what they've done."
324	** "Yes, he worked at Sintec, but your research lacked greatly. Sintec doubles as a mercenary company, the idea of the "exterminator" company was simply a cover for the real thing. Joey had taken over the presidency after the unfortunate accident of the former president."
325	* ''Webcomic/{{Namesake}}'':
326	-->'''Anlise:''' You stupid child. You're the one who needs memories repaired. [[Literature/LandOfOz Ozma]] is gone! Our princess is dead, and it's all your fault!\
327	'''Fred:''' You can change things! You are a [[RealityWarper writer]], Elaine!\
328	'''Warrick:''' Selva. I know you can hear me.\
329	'''Renge:''' That is most definitely NOT a Dorothy.
330	* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'':
331	** A lengthy time-travel arc is turned on its head with a single innocuous line. Everything Dave tries fails in some way, and he comes to the conclusion that YouCantFightFate. Then he says that he needs a cigarette, and is asked "Since when do you smoke?" The sudden realization that he no longer feels a craving for a cigarette -- that, in fact, he feels like he's never smoked before -- gives him the confidence to try to prevent [[BadFuture what he knows is coming]].
332	** "How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
333	** And in its final month, courtesy of a young time-traveler: "And I think, in the end, you and Mom can find some kind of happiness." The character being spoken to didn't even realize the bomb that had just been dropped until a few seconds later -- you can almost ''hear'' the RecordNeedleScratch.
334	* ''Webcomic/NotAVillain'':
335	-->'''Bandit:''' I could never like somebody who killed her own mother.\
336	'''Danni:''' I'm useless in Reality. A "costly liability", as they put it. They want to replace me with several imported Outsiders. My parents have practically killed themselves to keep that decision at bay. I've been trying to make money, make friends, make anything that'll show I have worth. But it's been pointless. The Game was my last option. They'd have given me more time for that. Ha. I just have the end of Reality's day now. And I'm going to spend it dancing.
337	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has quite a few:
338	** From #498:[[note]]Roy had been expecting someone to resurrect him immediately after the battle of Azure City.[[/note]]
339	--->'''Horace:''' How long do you think you've been here? In the afterlife?\
340	'''Roy:''' I dunno, 12 hours? Maybe 14? Why?\
341	'''Horace:''' Roy... you've been dead for three and a half months.
342	** [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0572.html 572]]:
343	--->'''The Oracle:''' Belkar shall draw his last breath -- ever -- before the end of the year.[[note]]In-universe year, that is.[[/note]]
344	** 628:
345	--->'''Black Dragon:''' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0628.html ...Now I will kill your children.]][[note]]This is the black dragon mother's plan for revenge after V disintegrated her only son. This is particularly shocking to the audience because V was known to be married but hadn't even hinted at having children.[[/note]]
346	** The current page image comes from strip 672. The Wham is not what Blackwing (V's familiar) is saying, but that Blackwing is speaking to V at all, and resulted in the two characters developing an actual relationship.
347	** Strip #758 is somewhat unique in that several people deliver the Wham.[[note]]This reveals that one of the prisoners is Haley's father and that Elan's father Tarquin was behind his imprisonment.[[/note]]
348	--->'''Tarquin:''' We've gone through dozens of different names by now...The Dutchy of Terror, the Barren Baronies...\
349	'''First Prisoner:''' The Quietus Federation...\
350	'''Second Prisoner:''' The Unprincipled Principalities...\
351	'''Tarquin:''' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0131.html ...Tyranaria...]]\
352	'''First prisoner:''' Speaking of names, we haven't properly introduced ourselves. I'm Geoff, and this is my brother-in-law, [[LongLostRelative Ian]].\
353	'''Second Prisoner:''' They used to call me "Red", but three years of malnutrition will do a number on your hair color.
354	** "What? No! We could have narrowed it down further the next day if ''you'' hadn't killed her out of spite!"[[note]]Up to this point, everyone assumed that [[EvilCounterpart the Linear Guild]] were responsible for the death of Tarquin's ninth wife, Tarquin included. This line from Nale reveals that they thought ''[[NotMeThisTime he]]'' did it.[[/note]]
355	** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0830.html #830]]:
356	--->'''Redcloak:''' You're right, of course. About me. I ''have'' let you have your way, time and again, because stopping you would have disrupted the delicate balance between Xykon and myself. But now... right now... not stopping you will upset that balance even more. [[OutGambitted Seize her]].[[note]]Redcloak outwits Tsukiko and has her killed right when she thinks she's won.[[/note]]
357	** #870: "Perhaps I ''should'' make more children."[[note]]Malack reveals that he's really a vampire. The reveal is driven home by the line being white text on a black background, as is the case with undead characters' speech bubbles.[[/note]]
358	** #876: "What sort of man would help someone he just met develop a means to shield a group of people from himself? At least, without sneaking in a back door, just in case?"[[note]]Malack (again) reveals that he built a back door into the Mass Death Ward spell he helped Durkon develop, allowing him to bypass it at will.[[/note]]
359	** #895: "I'm going to destroy it."[[note]]Roy plans to destroy the Gate, instead of risking Xykon taking it.[[/note]]
360	** #896: "Now."[[note]]One of the Three Fiends calls in their possession of V's soul.[[/note]]
361	** #930: "General Tarquin! {{We meet again}}!"[[note]]Julio Scoundrél showing up in the nick of time, and in the process revealing he's met Tarquin before.[[/note]]
362	** #936: "I'm not a twin anymore. [[BigBadWannabe And you're not the]] ''[[BigBadWannabe real]]'' [[BigBadWannabe villain.]] [[IronicEcho Don't worry. You'll live]]."[[note]]''Elan'', of all people, as he refuses to help Tarquin and watches him fall off the ship.[[/note]]
363	** #946: "It all goes smoothly. I have convinced the dwarf's allies to accept me as the dwarf himself -- despite having slipped up on his ridiculous accent a few times."[[note]]The revelation that Vampire Durkon is not Durkon at all, but the High Priest of Hel possessing Durkon's body.[[/note]]
364	** #981: "The other reason is that I'm about to kill you again because you're a sadistic unrepentant murderer who's a danger to, like, ''everyone''."[[note]]Haley prepares to drop Golem!Crystal into a lava pit.[[/note]]
365	** #997: "The statement upon which we shall convey our patron's Yea or Nay is as follows: Whether or not, at the conclusion of this binding referendum, the gods of the three pantheons should immediately thereupon destroy the world."[[note]]The High Priestess of Odin's opening words at the Godsmoot, a meeting of every god's high priests and priestesses. In layman's terms: the purpose of the Godsmoot is for the gods to vote on whether or not to destroy the world.[[/note]]
366	** ''Recap/TheOrderOfTheStickStartOfDarkness'' has quite a few of these. For example: "Huh. First you blast your brother, then you lie to me about it, now this. Did they have a big sale down at the Testicle Store or something?"[[note]]Xykon, who was always assumed to be powerful but stupid, reveals that he knew all along about Redcloak's brother Right-Eye plotting against him, and resolved it by manipulating Redcloak into killing his own brother for Xykon's sake.[[/note]]
367	** #1139: "We put that world's gravestone over there."[[note]]Thor reveals that, contrary to the belief of the characters and audience up to that point, the world of Order of the Stick is ''not'' the second world that the gods created. Or the third. [[TimeAbyss Or the billionth...]][[/note]]
368	** #1141: "There's a new color in the crayon box."[[note]]Thor has explained that creations from the combined efforts of gods of different aura colors are stronger, and this is why even the combined efforts of the [[Myth/NorseMythology Northern]] (yellow), [[EasternZodiac Southern]] (blue), and [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Western]] (red) gods have never been able to do more than delay the Snarl's escape from any given world, because the Snarl was accidentally created by all of them plus the now-deceased [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Eastern]] gods (green). But Thor reveals that something has changed this in the current world, the rise of a new god that's unconnected to any existing pantheon and thus has his own color (purple). That god's identity? ''[[Characters/TheOrderOfTheStickDivineBeings The Dark One]]''.[[/note]]
369	** #1209: "I think I say... ...Implosion."[[note]]Redcloak ends his negotiations with Durkon by trying to kill him.[[/note]]
370	* ''Webcomic/OutThere'' gives us [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20090124.html this]] (a little spoileriffic). After Miriam and Clayton have been bantering, and the former has made it perfectly clear that that's not going to happen, and the latter has been accepting of that: "Anyway, don't you think any of '''these''' losers wouldn't '''flock''' to see you [work as a stripper]? Hell, I'm sure '''I''' would." The kiss afterward serves the same general purpose.
371	* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'':
372	** [[http://www.paranatural.net/index.php?id=142 "I'd laugh... but I didn't end up with the sense of humor."]]
373	** [[http://www.paranatural.net/index.php?id=303 "You just trapped us all inside Mayview."]]
374	** And then there's the revelation of [[https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-280 What exactly Dave is]]:
375	--->'''Hijack:''' What's going on!? I can't get in! But my power... [[PuppeteerParasite I can control anyone]]! People, animals--\
376	'''Dave:''' Wow! Anyone? Any living thing? Any ''[[ExactWords living]]'' thing? Hoho, well... '''[[GameFace there's your problem]].'''
377	* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'':
378	** Early on...
379	--->'''Sara:''' [[SlapSlapKiss Will you just! Kiss her! Already?]]
380	** Which much later led to...
381	--->'''Penny:''' You wanna... pretend a little more for a minute?
382	* ''Webcomic/{{Prequel}}'': Courtesy of Gaius -- "Who told you about my nightmares?"
383	* ''Webcomic/PrincessPi'':
384	** Two in the same conversation, which kick off the long-awaited explanation of how Pi became the LastOfHerKind:
385	--->'''[[AlphaBitch Sam]]:''' What do you even have to cry about? You're rich! I only get a $75000 allowance! You don't even take advantage of it! You wear the same earrings ALL THE TIME! That's so LAME!\
386	'''Princess Pi:''' They're stuck to my face.\
387	'''Sam:''' What? Huh?\
388	'''Princess Pi:''' The day I found out I was indestructible was the day I got my ears pierced. It took them three hours to manage to make a hole big enough, and once these were in, I couldn't remove them. That was when I was five. It was my mother, Queen Isosceles, who took me there.\
389	''[she points at a nearby statue]''\
390	'''Princess Pi:''' That statue over there? That's her... But now she's dead! My mother was killed in the war!
391	** In a later comic, Princess Pi tries to order a Shamrock Shake from a drive-thru without a car, proclaiming that as princess of the land and the last Egyptian on Earth, the workers at the restaurant should overlook her forgetting to bring a vehicle. After she still gets denied the shake, this conversation occurs:
392	--->'''Bottle Blonde:''' Besides, what you said wasn't entirely true!\
393	'''Princess Pi:''' You KNOW I'm not lying! You've been to my pyramid!\
394	'''Bottle Blonde:''' I meant about the last Egyptian thing! You HAVE a living relative!
395	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
396	** "Marten, do you like me?" As Faye herself put it, "like interrupting an intricate waltz with a sledgehammer to the knee."
397	** Also, much later, "...Well. I guess that's it, then," turning a pretty standard Dora/Marten arc into a WhamEpisode.
398	** Between Angus and Faye, after Angus reveals he's gotten the part that will cause him to move long-distance to pursue an acting career: "Can't you just be happy for me?" "I... I thought I could."
399	** From Dora: "Go home, Faye. You're fired."
400	* ''Webcomic/RiceBoy'': Not so much [[ArcWords the line itself]] as who's saying it and who they're saying it to:
401	-->'''Rice Boy:''' You have traveled long and far -- you have reached the iron tower -- you have changed form... thrice.
402	* ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'': Larisa succinctly explaining [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl her cavalier attitude towards her nude selfie being sent to all of North America]] and causing a colossal scandal in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/10/0717-dropping-the-bomb this comic]].
403	-->'''Larisa:''' [[YourDaysAreNumbered I'll be blind in ten years and dead in twenty]]. [[LikeYouWereDying I don't give a damn if some puritans have a problem with my naked body]].

405	** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-11-14 "Captain Tagon was killed in action this morning."]]
406	** When discussing time travel, Kevyn deliberately creates a paradox to prove changing the past is possible. Petey confesses he was genuinely frightened for the first time. Kevyn is not impressed.[[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-04-03 "You call that a confession? Here's a real confession: So was I."]]
407	--->'''Kevyn:''' But hey, now we know it works, right?
408	** After discovering that there are intelligent dark matter entities hiding in Andromeda, and they tricked one of the elder races of the Milky Way into creating a massive bomb out of the galactic core: "So... next up on the to-do list: Declare war on the Andromeda Galaxy."
409	** Petey has been playing God using the incredible energy output of the Milky Way core generator, only to have suddenly scaled back significantly, and his friends ask him why. [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-11-27 "The Pa'anuri fired up a core generator of their own. It's about thirty-five times bigger than mine."]]
410	--->'''Kevyn:''' Wow. I'm glad that's not my problem.\
411	'''Petey:''' ''Yet''.
412	** When Kevyn discovers that the code that has been turning their clients into murderous zombies is coming from his own AI Tagii, he takes her offline and asks the roboticist why Tagii planted the code. [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-09-06 "Tagii didn't plant the code. She jammed it."]]
413	--->'''Kevyn:''' ...do I want to know what's going on down there right now?\
414	'''Ventura:''' Probably not. You're already having a pretty bad day.
415	** After a dark matter creature crawls out of the ancient artifact Oisri, Petey gets his hands on it and fills in some gaps. [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-12-30 "To my analysis, Oisri is not a vessel for imprisoning a dark-matter creature. It is a machine for creating one."]]
416	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'':
417	** A guessing game ends.
418	--->'''Ethan:''' Well lookie there, [[ClosetKey we have a winner]].
419	** The beginning of a disturbing relationship.
420	--->'''Mike:''' So you plan to [[OutOfCharacterMoment keep me inebriated to make me the perfect boyfriend]]? I hate to say. It's been done. And it didn't end well.\
421	'''Amber:''' No, I want [[{{Jerkass}} you]] to [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys date me sober]].
422	** World peace at the ultimate price.
423	--->'''Roz:''' [[NoodleIncident Not since]]-- no, look, hey, LEAVE, okay before--\
424	'''Robin:''' Before what? Before I get the stink of worldwide hero all over the place?\
425	'''Roz:''' No, before...\
426	'''[[WomanScorned Leslie]]:''' Before '''I''' find you.
427	** At the end of a fairly typical {{Filler}} week, we see Mike and Amber at Comic-Con:
428	--->'''Amber:''' Since when are ''you'' helpful?\
429	'''Mike:''' Since being "helpful" means sending people to go wait in four-hour lines for stuff that's likely to sell out just as they reach the booth.\
430	'''Amber:''' Wow. I'm marrying the devil.\
431	'''Mike:''' Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s making this way too easy for me.\
432	''[the comic appears to be over, but then suddenly, one extra panel at the very bottom...]''\
433	'''Mike:''' [[DelayedReaction Wait, what?]]
434	** After the proposal...
435	--->'''Leslie:''' Bull. Are you telling me your vomitfest was just for show?\
436	'''Amber:''' S'no big deal. [[SurprisePregnancy Just been feeling extra nauseous this week]].\
437	'''Leslie:''' Um.\
438	'''Amber:''' What?
439	** The end of the speech in which the (AlternateUniverse) Head Alien explains the universe Leslie sent herself to, and why the portal she came through closed after her:
440	--->''"Imagine a universe in which nothing important ''ever'' changes. The easiest solutions fix every problem. StatusQuoIsGod. The world is just a laugh factory. Every conversation ends on a joke. A living nightmare, yes? And one which, due to the rules of the game, [[ClosedCircle prevents anyone from leaving]]. That would be resolution. Escape. You're stuck here, same as me. You. Me. [[DiabolusExMachina And an intact Drama Tag]]."''
441	** When an alternate universe Pamela is revealed to have more to her.
442	--->''"As I suspected. You're here for my tag. Well, you can't have it. [[MamaBear Nothing's separating me from my daughter]]."''
443	** The realization that a brash customer may be more than meets the eye:
444	--->'''Human UC:''' "I ''am'' Ultra Car!"
445	** Followed by:
446	--->'''Ethan:''' ...I'm turning in my two week's notice.
447	* ''Webcomic/{{Sire}}'': Courtesy of Paul -- "Anna, help me!" This is the first indication that anyone other than Susan or Anna could see the spirit form of the sister who is not controlling the body. It comes as enough of a shock to Susan to cause her to kill Paul for keeping the secret in the first place.
448	* ''Webcomic/SisterClaire'': Courtesy of Gabrielle -- "It's not a baby, Claire. I'm so sorry, it was never a baby."
449	* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'':
450	** The message from Dr. Collodi to his daughter:
451	--->''"Whatever you do, don't trust Project Skin Horse."''
452	** The first appearance of a familiar character:
453	--->''"Arthur. Arthur [[{{Webcomic/Narbonic}} Narbon]]."''
454	** Nick confronts Violet Bee about being a robot. Violet says she should have remembered his vision:
455	--->''"[[http://skin-horse.com/comic/lot-of-factors/ After all, Nick]], I'm the one who [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/mesh-gloves-better/ took off your spectacles]]."''
456	** Sweetheart thanks Ira for sorting the file archive that survived destruction... only to get a major OutOfCharacterAlert:
457	--->'''Sweetheart:''' At least we've still got Nick's backups.\
458	'''Ira:''' ''[as he leaves the room]'' I should have taken him from the start.\
459	'''Sweetheart:''' Hey! Aren't you shocked I'm a talking dog?[[note]]Almost every scene with Sweetheart and Ira prior to this one involves Ira exclaiming "AHH! A TALKING DOG!", supposedly because his short-term memory has been destroyed.[[/note]]
460	* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'':
461	** In Chapter 12, Anemone makes her first appearance in the comic proper, cryptically questioning Tessa about the shadowy creature that the audience recognizes as [[NoNameGiven "her"]]. Tessa is understandably confused and asks if this is a monster Anemone has seen somewhere before. Anemone responds:
462	--->''"...Yes. [[ParanoiaFuel Outside your window, on most nights]]."''
463	** As a follow-up to the above, at the very end of Chapter 12, Tessa hesitantly opens her blinds... and sees the words ''"'''I'LL BE HERE WHENEVER YOU'RE READY'''"'' scrawled across her window, indicating that the shadow is after her for something far worse than just revenge.
464	** Towards the end of Chapter 14, Undine and her fellow Training Club member Cassidy head out to their school's running track for a friendly sparring match. Everything appears to be going well, at first -- Cassidy shows off her SelfDuplication powers, impressing Undine, and agrees to answer her questions about how they work after their practice. Then, without warning, she draws her blade and drops the act:
465	--->''"...Then how about this? If you win, I'll answer whatever you wanna know. ''[...]'' So then if I win... you tell me [[DarkSecret what you've been hiding from us]]."''
466	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
467	** Torg confronts Sasha and holds her at gunpoint, accusing her of having sold Aylee out to Hereti-Corp. Torg's best friend Riff bursts in and demands that Torg let Sasha (Riff's girlfriend) go, insisting that he has the wrong person.
468	--->'''Riff:''' Torg, it was me.
469	** "It was about that time Aylee announced she was dying."
470	** When Torg finds out someone can play with fire with appropriate background colors. Note: in the forum, if you curse, the computer turns the curse word into the word "poop".
471	--->''"Holy Poop!"''
472	** "But you can be at peace, for we are your people, Aylee. You are finally home."
473	** In [=4U=] City Red:
474	--->'''Riff:''' How long have I been here?\
475	'''Rammer:''' About seven years.
476	** In a secret base, Sasha admits that she was actually TheMole all along.
477	--->'''Sasha:''' You were right about me the whole time.
478	* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'':

482	* ''Webcomic/TheSpaceBetween'': "Come inside. People might think you're an actual hobo."
483	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'':
484	** During the early part of the story, the Silent World being ridden with PlagueZombie monsters and them having some kind of counterpart in the dreamscape were plentiful justifications for Onni's RefusalOfTheCall and worry about his younger relatives going on an expedition in the Silent World. In Chapter 7, he drops the following while asking Lalli to restrict his movement in the dreamscape:
485	--->'''Onni:''' It's looking for us again.
486	** The Trolls' BlackSpeech can only be heard by mages. At some point, a speech bubble containing Troll-speak appears in a panel focusing on Tuuri, a non-mage who got a Troll bite a few in-universe days previously but had a chance of not being infected. Zombification is basically a rare complication of an otherwise deadly disease, which has plenty of established symptoms that the reader can look out for. Hearing Troll-speak is ''not'' on the list, in addition to not being a good sign for Tuuri.
487	** Magic overuse has apparently kicked Lalli's soul out of his body and dreamscape safe area. Lalli's soul somehow crash-lands near Emil's own safe area while the latter is asleep and Lalli decides to stay there until he can recover and figure out how to fix the situation. Emil wakes up after the event, with no idea how to get himself and Lalli's unconscious body back to the rest of the crew, from whom they are currently separated:
488	--->'''Voice in Emil's head:''' Just start walking. Stupid![[note]]This speech pattern fits Lalli much more than it fits Emil.[[/note]]
489	* ''Webcomic/{{Starfighter}}'': "Gentlemen, this is a time-sensitive matter. Therefore I shall be brief. We are losing this war."
490	* ''Webcomic/{{Starslip}}'':
491	** The line that arguably started the MythArc:
492	--->'''Albatroxi Leader:''' Mr. Vanderbeam, I don't understand... our people ''had'' no truce. We've been at war ''for two years''.
493	** And shortly afterwards:
494	--->'''King Jovox:''' My Jovia died on an attempt on her life, intended to stop our research. It was a shuttle explosion, after an art gala aboard the ''Fuseli''.
495	* ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters'':
496	** "Jeff, I'd like to play my Hidden Immunity Idol". Over 80 times in 17 seasons, all various shapes, and it's still intriguing.
497	** Season 3:
498	--->'''Hope:''' Did she cry?\
499	'''Baxter:''' Huh? Who?\
500	'''Hope:''' Bessie Bell. When you stabbed her in the back.
501	** Season 9:
502	--->'''Cherman:''' You see, there is one other tool I have. It's a mini voice recorder that Brenton and Madison accidentally made removable from my body. And I gave it to Barbie.
503	*** Also worthy of mention:
504	---->'''Bonnie:''' Oh my God... fucking over that [[CountryMatters c***]] over like that. Fucking incredible.
505	** Season 12:
506	--->'''Jeff:''' The Canredons idol... played on Bowser... is void.
507	** Season 13, followed by a large MotiveRant:
508	--->'''[[TheHost Jeff Probst]]:''' Alleio, what happened with the food anyway, care to elaborate?\
509	'''Alleio:''' There was a dead bat someone found the previous day, someone grabbed the machete, hacked it up, and put the remnants of the body into our rice container.\
510	'''[[OnlySaneMan Jim]]:''' [[INeverSaidItWasPoison Wait... how did you know that the bat was dead beforehand?]]\
511	'''[[KnightTemplar Alleio]]:''' ...[[AccidentalPublicConfession Because I'm the one that butchered it and put it in the rice]].
512	*** Also:
513	---->'''Orwell:''' I don't think there's one girl in the game that I can trust!\
514	'''[[SweetPollyOliver Sasha]]:''' You can trust me.
515	** Season 15:
516	--->'''Shaega:''' I found the culprit. I know who's behind everything!\
517	'''Zach:''' Who is it?\
518	''[Shaega suddenly attacks Zach]''\
519	'''Shaega:''' TAKE A WILD GUESS!
520	** Season 18:
521	--->'''Kasai:''' There were '''no''' fake idols in play tonight.
522	*** And then, in the Final Tribal Council:
523	---->'''Shin:''' It was all fake.
524	* ''Webcomic/TigerTiger'':
525	** Chapter Three ends with the one-two punch of Honeyfoot revealing that he's figured out Ludo is impersonating her brother and how he was able to realize it.
526	--->'''Honeyfoot:''' I knew who you were right away when I saw you up close! Because we are - I mean, your father, is, our father, so I'm... I'm your brother!
527	** In Chapter Four, Ludovica is overcome with curiosity upon discovering her brother's diary and decides to give it "just a teensy look." She opens it to a random part in the middle and within two pages realizes she's reading Remy's declaration of his love to Jamis.
528	---> '''Remy:''' Oh my gods!! I'll pull the plug on this ship, and sink us straight to the maws of beasts down below! The worst has happened! I have fallen in love - with Jamis Arlesi!
529	* ''Webcomic/TimesLikeThis'':
530	** It isn't revealed -- to the reader ''or'' in-universe -- that Maggie is actually a time-transplant from 14th-century {{Oireland}} [[http://www.timeslikethis.com/index.php?id=223 until a discussion takes place]] on how to mend her relationship with Rodney that Cassie accidentally (and indirectly) scuttles.
531	--->'''Cassie:''' Fortunately we didn't end up in a relationship, but Rodney and Maggie aren't together anymore. They never even fell in love in the first place!\
532	'''Bethany:''' And about Maggie... Do we tell her about this?\
533	'''Cassie:''' The more I think about it, the more I believe that's a bad idea. If we tell her that she and Rodney were meant to be together... even if they were supposed to be together... she'd think we were setting her up, effectively making Rodney very unappealing to her. And that would ''really'' fuck things up.\
534	'''Bethany:''' But we got HER from another time. All the "alternate timeline" stuff might make sense to her!\
535	'''Cassie:''' I say we just try to fix this back in '91 and hope everything plays out the original way.\
536	'''Matt:''' Uhhh, wait... What was that about Maggie being from ''another time???''
537	** Cassie's father [[http://www.timeslikethis.com/index.php?id=495 breaks up a fight between her and her mother]] over Cassie's sexual behavior with "...all that rage and stress isn't doing your mother any good, what with her cancer and all!" Before that, nobody but the dad knew of his wife's ailment, and they ''had'' agreed to wait until after Cassie's birthday to break the bad news. Oopsie.
538	** Cassie and Chad are discussing their awkward social lives while teenagers. Then Chad asks when Cassie finally lost her virginity. Her response: [[http://www.timeslikethis.com/index.php?id=297 "Thirteen."]] (A BreakTheCutie flashback then ensues.)

540	* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'':
541	** Stockyard revealing the true purpose of Sette's mission:
542	--->'''Stockyard:''' 'Course [I know what Duane is]! A fancy new plod got away from its master, eh? And your Da earning a ''queen's ransom'' getting it back where it goes.
543	** The first arc's villain is revealed this way:
544	--->'''Cutter:''' I've little use for ''names'' but perhaps when your rotting tongue is finished screaming it can manage ''"[[BigBad Delicieu]]".'' How do you do.
545	** "Who reanimated Duane?" is a longstanding question throughout the first arc. In chapter 11 it's revealed in a single line:
546	--->'''Bastion:''' ''I'' brought [Duane] back! [I] beat death!
547	** In chapter 16, we finally learn the meaning of the word Duane uses to refer to himself:
548	--->'''Lemuel:''' ''Galit.'' Th-that's the word for what you are! ''Galit.'' '''''"Damned One!"'''''
549	* Episode 111 of ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' reminds readers of [[BewareTheNiceOnes Jake's vicious side]] after he's spent most of his screentime acting affably both to his own friends and to Ben's group:
550	-->'''Jake:''' Oh, right. Now I remember what I wanted to tell you. You see, I really want Ben Park to take me seriously. So, you know that really tall friend of yours? I just beat him up. That's what I came here to tell you.
551	* From the ''Webcomic/XkcdTime'' animation:
552	-->'''Beanie People Leader:''' The sea will fill not in years but in DAYS.
553	* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': A major one for the CrossoverCosmology nature of the setting.
554	-->'''Viv:''' I could have sat in paradise... [[Myth/HinduMythology Vishnu travels to Earth]], he's a king--! [[{{UsefulNotes/Buddhism}} Buddha abandons luxury]], he's enlightened. [[Literature/TheBible Jesus leaves Heaven]], he's a ''Messiah''. '''I''' leave [[Literature/TheBible the Garden]], I'm a sucker.
