    Bradford: Junior Woodchuck Rule 413: "Never speak ill of a fellow Woodchuck."
    (he steps out of the shadows to reveal he's wearing a JWC uniform; Huey gasps)
    Bradford: Have a seat, Hubert. Carved it myself from a trunk of oak; Level 3 Carpentry Badge.
    Huey: Enough tricks! What do you want with the Missing Mysteries?
    Bradford: Why, to finish my grandmother's work. (points to a picture of himself as a boy with Isabella Finch)
    Huey: Isabella Finch was your grandma?!
    Bradford: Yes, I was the first Junior Woodchuck.
  - When Huey finds Gandra Dee and Ludwig Von Drake being held in a F.O.W.L. cellblock and discovers Bradford's endgame for finding the Missing Mysteries.
    Huey: What do you mean "evil will"? Bradford is just studying artifacts. It's what any Junior Woodchuck would do.
    Von Drake: (laughs) Bradford wasn't just the first Woodchuck. He was the worst Woodchuck! He hated and couldn't stand adventuring with his granny-mama. He wants to get rid of it entirely, altogether!
    Gandra: Bradford harnessed the Solego Circuit to create a dimensional void. It erases things from reality forever!
    Huey: Do you know what this means? Bradford is collecting artifacts because he wants to rid the world of anything adventurous!
    Gandra: And he's not just getting rid of artifacts.
    (the other cells light up to reveal several of the McDucks' allies from throughout the series)
    Huey: He's gonna erase my family! I gotta warn everyone!
    (he tries to run, only to bump right into Bradford, who overheard the whole thing)

    Scrooge: Give it up! You lost the second you decided to challenge the McDucks! Adventure is in our blood; it binds our family together! And nothing can tear us apart!
    Bradford: Hmph! I've torn you apart once before!
    Scrooge: What are you blabbering about?
    Bradford: How do you think Della found out you built the Spear of Selene?
    (Scrooge is dumbstruck by this revelation, and he furiously charges at Bradford)
  - When Webby mentions that she found the Papyrus of Binding, Huey is confused because it can only reveal itself to a direct descendant of Scrooge. It doesn't take long for him to put the pieces together as to who Webby was cloned from.
    Huey: May and June were made from Webby. Who is Webby made from?
    Von Drake: Why, your old uncle Scrooge McDuck, of course!
    (everyone in the room gasps)
    Von Drake: You fellas all knew that, right? You did? (beat) Oh right, you didn't. I'm gonna give you a moment to adjust everything.
    Webby: Bradford needed Scrooge's descendant. So, he made one.
    Huey: Webby is Scrooge's daughter?
    Webby: Bless me bagpipes...

  - After June helps Ollie and Libby realize that possessing Todd Mortenson unlocked Scratch's memories, this leads to the biggest reveal of all:

  My dear student Twilight: Why didn't you just say so in the first place?
- Throughout "Lesson Zero", Twilight is terrified that Princess Celestia will punish her should she fail to complete a friendship report by the end of the day. Those familiar with the characters know full well that Twilight is highly prone to overreaction, particularly when it comes to both academics and the princess — who is nothing if not kind, understanding, and fun-loving.

- "School Raze - Part 1":
  Cozy Glow: Enjoying yourself in there, Starlight? I'm sorry I had to lock you in, but what else could I do? You were going to ruin all my plans.
- Twice in "The Beginning of the End - Part 1":
  Celestia: So, after much consideration, my sister and I have decided it is time for us... to retire!
  - Followed by:
    Celestia: Everything you've gone through over the years has been a training program.

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: In "Find Her, Keep Her", Rabbit raises an orphaned baby bird that he names Kessie and, despite her growing interest in flying south like other birds, he forbids her from learning how.

Tigger: Oh boy, kiddo! There's nothin' holdin' ya down now!
Rabbit: Don't you think I know?

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: The episode, rightfully named "Big Reveal", has two;
- Played with in the beginning of the episode, in that the line in question is genuinely huge and changes the story in a big way, but it's casually revealed while K.O. and Carol are eating breakfast.
  K.O.: (calmly eating oatmeal) So...who's my dad?
  Carol:(calmly drinking coffee) Laserblast.
  (K.O. does a Spit Take)
- However, played completely straight with the bigger reveal later in the episode when K.O. goes up against Professor Venomous wearing Laserblast's helmet:
  K.O. This helmet belonged to my daddy, the great hero Laserblast! I take it you've heard of him?
  Venomous: Heard of him? (Evil Laugh) Boy, take a good look: I am him.
Over the Garden Wall:
Wirt: You're not trying to help me. You just have some weird obsession with keeping this lantern lit. It's almost like your soul is in this lantern.
The Owl House:
- In "Agony of a Witch", we finally find out who cursed Eda:
  Lilith: You always thought you were better than me! That I could never beat you at anything!
  Eda: I am better than you.
  Lilith: THEN WHY WERE YOU SO EASY TO CURSE?!
- In the following episode, Lilith tells the whole story as to why she cursed her sister. The two were to duel each other for a spot in the Emperor's Coven, and Lilith tried to cheat by placing a curse that she thought would merely cancel Eda's powers for one day. But on the day of the duel, her efforts turned out to be for naught when Eda decided to forfeit.
  Young Eda: No... I refuse to battle my sister!
- "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" has two unrelated ones in quick succession:
  - Just before Gwendolyn leaves with Lilith, she reveals to Luz that another human came to the Boiling Isles in the past, and he left something in the library that might provide a clue as to how she can get home.
  - Immediately afterwards, Luz muses that the summer camp she was supposed to be at is probably over by now and that her mother must be so worried about her. We then cut to the Human World, where we see Camila crying, but it's at a nature documentary. Then we see a hand passing her tissues and hear someone say "Here, Mama"... in Luz’s voice.
- In " Yesterday's Lie", Camila is terrified that her daughter is stuck in a demon realm, but is at least happy to see how mature Luz is becoming. At least until the latter says that choosing to stay in the Demon Realm is the best decision she has ever made, making Camila sadly question how terrible a parent she must be if Luz happily ran away from her to begin with.
  Camila: You chose to stay there?
- In "Reaching Out", Luz spends most of the episode acting weird and trying to keep herself distracted, and it's only near the end that she admits the reason why to Amity.
  Luz: Today's the anniversary of my Dad passing away.
- In "Hollow Mind", when Luz finds out just who Emperor Belos really is, what he's really planning with the "Day of Unity", and the part she unknowingly played in his rise to power.
  Belos: Yes, this has gone on longer that I'd have liked, but... no one ever said being a witch hunter was easy.
  Luz: Witch... hunter? So all this time, people have been mindlessly helping a witch hunter?! How could they be tricked so easily?
  Belos: I wouldn't be so judgmental if I were you.
  (he conjures up a memory depicting Luz helping Philip Wittebane during her trip to the past)
  Luz: (realization dawns) No... No, no, no... (in disbelief, with tears in her eyes) No, no, no! You're Belos! You're just Belos! (falls to her knees)
  Belos: Please, do me a kindness and call me by my real name.
  Luz: I... can't...
  Luz in the memory: You're Philip Wittebane, aren't you?... I can't believe I taught Philip something new... I'll go talk to Philip... Philip, why did you bring us here?...
- In the same episode, Hunter learns an Awful Truth, first hinted at in one of Belos' memories showing a conversation between him and the Collector around the time Hunter brought back the Portal Key.
  The Collector: I'm starting to think you make those things just to destroy them.
- And then there's Belos' response when Hunter asks what happened to the previous Golden Guards:
  Belos: What a shame. Out of all the Grimwalkers, you look the most like him.
- In "Edge of the World", it seems like Luz, King, and Hooty have discoved that King comes from a race of Titan Trappers, right up until their leader starts describing to Luz and Hooty what living Titans are like, and it sounds uncannily similar to King.
  Bill: But if you think Belos is evil... you've never seen a live Titan. The children out there haven't either! Don't know a thing about their ravenous appetites, or their terrible cries! Even their babies act like little monarchs. The last living Titan... I saw it once, before it disappeared. Its hateful roar blew out my eardrums. How did it go...? 'Weh'!
- In "Clouds on the Horizon", Amity and Alador try to tell Odalia the truth about Belos' plan and the part their family's company is playing in it, but it turns out that she knows exactly what she's doing.
  Alador: Odalia, the Emperor is planning to wipe out everyone with a draining spell, and our Abomitons are helping him do it!
  (Odalia doesn't react, as if he said something obvious)
  Alador: (with realization) You already knew?
  Odalia: What he does with our products is none of our business. What is my business is keeping our family head of the rest. You're welcome, everyone!
  (Alador growls angrily as his face turns tomato-red)
  Odalia: Ugh, there you go, making that face. This is why I don't tell you things. With the Emperor's favor, we'll live like royalty in the New World, crowns and everything.
  Alador: This is too much, even for you!
- Belos gets one in ''King's Tide", confirming both that the Grimwalkers are clones of his deceased brother and who Flapjack's original owner was in one word:
  Belos: Caleb?!
- "Thanks to Them":
  - While Luz and her friends are at the Halloween festival, Camila stumbles upon Luz's old video diaries, including her most recent one where the expresses her guilt over how much she messed things up in the Demon Realm and makes a choice for when her friends find a way home.
    Luz: Mama says I have to learn from my mistakes. So... I know what I have to do now. On Halloween, after the hayride, I'm telling everyone I'm staying in the human realm... permanently.
  - After the fight with Belos and a new portal to the Demon Realm is opened, Luz tells her friends the truth about her mistakes and gets ready to announce her decision, only for Camila to make a decision of her own.
    Amity: Why did you keep all that a secret?
    Luz: I was scared. I thought you'd all hate me for it. Which is why I've made a decision. I think... it'd be in everyone's best interest if I...
    Camila: ...took your mama to the Demon Realm!

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): In "Speed Demon", the girls accidentally travel 50 years into the future and find that Townsville had been taken over by HIM.

- Tammy's speech at her wedding reception in the season 2 finale:
  Tammy: But then I think, y'know, in a lot of ways I'm not a high school senior from the planet Earth. In a lot of ways what I really am is a deep cover agent for the Galactic Federation and you guys are a group of wanted criminals and this entire building is, in a certain sense, surrounded.
- In "The Ricklantis Mix-up", after Candidate Morty is informed by the Shadow Council of Ricks that he's going to be more of a Puppet King than an actual President:
  Candidate Morty: Does [Garment District Rick] really speak for everyone here?
  (Various Ricks agree)
  Candidate Morty: (turns away from the Ricks; looks at them from his hand mirror) Well, I think it's important to be clear. Raise your hand if he speaks for you. (all Ricks but two do so; Candidate Morty snaps his fingers; the Guard Ricks gun them down)
  - Not a spoken line, but a song. "For the Damaged Coda" begins playing once the newly-elected President Morty has the shadow cabal of Ricks killed, revealing just who we're really dealing with.
- In “Solaricks”, this dialogue between Rick and Morty, which confirms that the series' main Morty originates from the same Earth as Rick Prime, the one who killed Main Rick's family.

Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends:
- In "Conspiracy", after Nick Logan finally finds his father Walter Logan and is forced to go on the run due to the apparent corruption of the Alliance, we suddenly get a curveball thrown at us that completely shatters our conceptions of a character we'd previously known as nothing more than a stick-in-the-mud Bad Boss:
  Lt. Crowe: Right now, I have something vital to show you: a human skeleton. The flesh had been absorbed from the bones by an unknown lifeform, but this is who it was originally.
  Walter: It's Rinaker!
  Lt. Crowe: Bingo. And he's been dead since 1946.
- ...and in the following episode, "Confrontation", the truth is spelled out about who "Rinaker" really is:
  General Rinaker: Ex-agent Logan... Impressive as always. I suppose you want some answers.
  Nick Logan: No, actually I think I've got it all figured out. You were corrupting the Alliance, you turned the alien races against each other, you killed the real Rinaker in 1946 and replicated his body! All this means you could only be one thing... Shadoen.
Rugrats: The episode "The Family Tree" has a sub-plot where Didi and Stu go on a cruise, but Didi appears to be sick for a majority of it. At the end of the episode, she reveals the reason for that, and it's not seasickness:

The Secret Show:
- In "Destination Sun", Victor and Anita have gone down to the center of the Sun in order to get it working again. However, it seems like every attempt they make ends in failure, until Doctor Doctor calls them on Anita's phone:
  Victor: We've tried everything, and nothing will light the Sun!
  Doctor Doctor: Did you try... this? [presses button that's offscreen, which lights the Sun]
  Victor: How did she do that?
  Doctor Doctor: [laughs evilly, then holds up a remote control that looks like the one Victor supposedly broke, starting this situation in the first place] Ta-da!
  Victor and Anita: What?!
- "Imposting the Impostors" has a Wham Line that occurs halfway through when Victor and Anita have been captured by the Impostors. While in their cell, they encounter Professor Professor, much to their confusion since they’d interacted with him earlier on the surface.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
- "Carnage of Krell":
  Rex: Tell me who gave you the orders to attack us.
  Waxer: It– it was General Krell. He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor. But... it was... you...
- "The Wrong Jedi": Ahsoka has been proven innocent in the nick of time. The Jedi Council are apologizing for putting her through Hell and are offering her a position as a Knight. Anakin offers her braid, symbolically welcoming her back to the Jedi Order. And...
  Ahsoka: I'm sorry, Master, but I'm not coming back.
- "The Bad Batch": After breaking into the Separatists' computer centre to find out how they have a stolen Republic strategy algorithm, Rex and Tech find out that the algorithm is actually being broadcast from another planet entirely, and then Tech finds a signal that seems to be someone's voice.

- Up until the ending of "Plan 99", the audience was led to believe that in terms of the existence of female Jango Fett clones, Omega was a one-off. The final exchange of the episode proves otherwise.
  Emerie Karr: Ironic. You trust the Kaminoan, but not me.

Static Shock:
- "Jimmy":
  - After Virgil and Richie decide to leave Jimmy's house after he offers to show them his father's gun:

  - When Virgil finally sees what Jimmy has been typing on his laptop:
    Virgil: The Battle Journal?
    Jimmy (in the Journal): All I wanted was to be left alone and they wouldn’t even do that. They had to hurt me. Humiliate me. Well, it ends tonight. I'm putting a stop to them. Once and for all.
- "Kidnapped":
  - When Static goes to see his father who has been captured, he reveals that he knows the truth that the hero has been hiding from him:

Steven Universe:
- "Ocean Gem":
  Amethyst: All those monsters we fight used to be just like us!
- "On the Run":
  - This:
    Steven: I'm sure Garnet and Pearl are worried sick about us. Wondering when we're coming home.
    Amethyst: That's not my home.
    Steven: But– Oh, that's right, you're from Homeworld!
    Amethyst: That's not my home, either!
  - Amethyst reveals her self-loathing for being made in the Kindergarten, a breeding ground for "bad" Gems.
    Amethyst: And we shut this place down so the earth would be safe from parasites like ME!
- "Sworn to the Sword":
  Pearl: [to Steven] Why won't you just let me do this for you, Rose!?
- "Chille Tid":
  Lapis Lazuli: No! I'm not Lapis anymore. We're Malachite now.
- "Steven's Birthday":
  Greg: Seems like just yesterday you were a baby and now you're turning fourteen years old!
- "Message Received" had quite a few, this being the episode that marks the debut of Big Bad Yellow Diamond and Peridot's Heel–Face Turn, which had been built up for quite a few months:
  ~~~~
  Peridot: Then I won't do it [destroy Earth]! I can tell you with certainty that there are things on this planet worth protecting!
  Yellow Diamond: What do you know about the Earth?!
  Peridot: Apparently more than you, you CLOD!
  ~~~~
  Steven: [to Peridot] You're a Crystal Gem!
- "Monster Reunion": Revealing the exact nature of the Corruption.
  Pearl: Guess it'll take more than a kiss to heal damage from the Diamonds.
- "Alone at Sea":
  Steven: But it's not like that anymore. You don't have to be with Jasper.
  Lapis Lazuli: That's not it. I... I miss her.
- "Bismuth": A few, considering this is one of the most reveal-heavy episodes yet:
  Bismuth: That's exactly what [Rose] said.
  ~~~~
  Bismuth: You didn't even tell them. You bubbled me away and didn't even tell your friends. My friends!
- "Beta" contains a surprising reveal about Jasper. The fact that Peridot mentions it so casually adds to the wham.
  Peridot: Sure, you're both from Earth, but your Kindergartens are radically different!
- "Earthlings" contains the revelation of Jasper's superior — thought to be Yellow Diamond — and the confirmation of a long-standing fan theory:
  Jasper: I've been fighting from the second I broke free from the Earth's crust because of what you did to my colony! Because of what you did to my planet! Because of what you did to my Diamond!
  Steven: Y-Yellow Diamond?
  Jasper: My Diamond! Your Diamond! Pink Diamond!
- "Back to the Moon":
  Eyeball: I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems — Rose Quartz — shatter Pink Diamond!
- "Room for Ruby":
  Steven: Navy! I think something went wrong with the ship!
  Navy: The only thing wrong is that you're still holding on! [giggles insanely]
- "The Trial": The Defense Zircon comes to an interesting conclusion when she realizes that the story of how Pink Diamond was shattered doesn't make logical sense.
  Defense Zircon: No, whoever did this was already close to Pink Diamond. Someone her guards would allow to get near her, someone she would listen to when asked to stop her palanquin, and step outside, and someone with the authority to cover it up afterwards! Someone with supreme authority! [Beat] Someone... like one of you! [points to Yellow and Blue Diamond]
- "A Single Pale Rose" gives the single biggest one in the series with the revelation that Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond were one and the same the whole time, and that Pink Diamond's supposed death was a complicated hoax pulled off by Pink and Pearl to make the Earth their home:
  Pearl: I can't believe I'm doing this...
  Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond: ...I can't exactly shatter myself.
- "The Question" has by far the most heartwarming wham line in the entire series.
  Ruby: Sapphire... Will you marry me?!
- "Reunited" has a couple:
  ~~~~
  Steven: I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. Wait a second. You don't think...?!
  Garnet: Blue Diamond!
  ~~~~
  Blue Diamond: [Garnet hopes] to defeat me by... clinging to my feet?
  Garnet: (smirks) I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right.
  (Cue Lapis Lazuli dropping the Barn on Blue Diamond)
- The one infamous line in "Change Your Mind", on par with the one from "A Single Pale Rose", is a literal Wham Line. The force alone of how the character says it causes a quake, and forms a crater in the floor AND cracks in the walls of the setting, plus it rather forcefully puts to rest the question of Steven's true identity:
  White Diamond: What is this? Where is Pink?
  Pink Steven: [monotone] She's gone.
  White Diamond: What did you say?! Answer me!!!
  Pink Steven: [suddenly screaming] SHE'S GOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!
Superman: The Animated Series:

  Edmund: I... I won't fight you. (removes his mask) You... are my son.
- In "Race to the Spire", the mysterious fairy-like girl who's been manipulating Cassandra finally introduces herself to Rapunzel and reveals she's actually an old enemy out for revenge.
  Enchanted Girl: Frankly, I'm surprised hadn't guessed who I am, seeing as how we've already met... in a way. You see, over the centuries, I've taken the form of whatever suits my needs. A warlock, a demon... even a blizzard.
  Rapunzel: You're... Zhan Tiri?
Teen Titans (2003):
- The Story Arc of the first season was trying to stop the mysterious villain Slade from destroying the city, but once Robin finally gets to confront Slade and take away the trigger to his Doomsday Device, Slade reveals that the whole "destroying the city" thing was just a ruse on his part.
  Slade: Trigger? There is no trigger, because there is no detonator.

- After Leo tells her that her true father is Splinter, Karai began to have doubts about the Shredder's motives. It isn't until meeting with Splinter that she discovers that it was all true, causing her to turn her back on the Foot Clan.
  Karai: I have no honor... but that's about to change.
From Thunder Cats 2011: Pumyra has, up to this point, been an ally of Lion-O and one of the good guys. During this scene, Lion-O asks her to throw him a magic stone. She instead hands it to Mumm-Ra. It drastically changes everything.
