History WhamEpisode / WebOriginal

* Interlude 26 of ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' reveals that [[spoiler:Scion, the most powerful parahuman in the setting, is actually [[HumanoidAbomination the avatar of an alien entity]]. And after listening to a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Jack Slash, he pulls a FaceHeelTurn and obliterates Great Britain. And concludes that he ''[[EvilFeelsGood likes the feeling]]''.]]

* ''WebVideo/{{lonelygirl15}}'' contains plenty of these, but some of the most surprising examples include [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=99 On The Run]], [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=251 What the F* @k???]], [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=322 5:00PM]], [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=375 My Fatal Mistake]], [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=477 KIDNAPPED!]] and [[http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=498 Bloodlines: Part 4]].

* Season 2, Episode 7 "Tempest" of ''TheLeetWorld''. Leeroy is kicked off the show, the box from Noonian is revealed to be a RedHerring planted by the Producer, and a video message from Leeroy reveals that the Noonian scientists have all been killed, and that the Producer ''has been dead for five years''.

* ''{{KateModern}}'': [[http://www.bebo.com/FlashBox.jsp?FlashBoxId=6329103563&MID=3611618708 Precious Blood]], in which Lauren is abducted, the team discover a top secret Order base, the killer is (at last!) revealed to be Terry, Steve's faith is tested to breaking point, Steve and Charlie kiss, Gavin leaves for Manchester and the Watcher dies.

* Episode Nine of ''ThereWillBeBrawl''. Zelda stabbed Link and left him for dead, Bowser sacrificed himself so Luigi can escape his castle, and Red was killed in an explosion.

* ''[[Creator/ThisIsIt Don't Hug Me I'm Scared]]'':

** Before that, Episode Seven was very whammy as well: Link didn't sanction the raid on Dedede, Red got arrested too, Kirby knows who the butcher is and ESCAPES FROM HIS CELL, Mario took on the whole police force, the other characters are finally aware of Zelda/Sheik's dual identity, and Captain Falcon [[CrowningMomentofAwesome incinerates Isaac and Saki with a Falcon Punch]], BigDamnHeroes fashion. Your jaw was on the floor, admit it.

* While less epic and more personal, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's ending of his ''Film/MyPetMonster'' review made it this. The realization of just how pathetic his life has been hits him like a ton of bricks and sends him into depression. The following episode turns him into an IronWoobie who finally gets his [[EarnYourHappyEnding happy ending]]. [[ThrowTheDogABone Just]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming once]].

* In the ''WhateleyUniverse'' novel "Christmas Elves", at the end of chapter 2, team sweetheart Jade Sinclair (TheChick) is stabbed through the heart while Fey is unable to stop it. Since this is a comic book world, she gets better. But then the cute kid of the team goes psycho and murders dozens of Mooks to rescue herself and Fey. ''And it's hilarious''.
* ''AHDotComTheSeries'': the first season ending episodes "Of Ships and Captains" and "Once More Into the Breech", which suddenly showed the very serious back-story that led, years in the past, to the current largely comedic rambling adventures of the battered old ship and crew -- and then those events return to haunt them...

* AgentsOfCracked's aptly titled ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Plot Twistingest Finale in the History of Final Episodes.]]'' Ready? Okay. *deep breath* Spoilers abound: Michael is the Chief's son. Cracked was created entirely to keep Michael busy and hidden, because if the other Chiefs found out there was a "retarded demi-god" running around, they would kill him. T-Bone was a security robot, but he turned on the Chief and leaked Michael's existence to the others. Broked is staffed entirely by doubles of the Cracked team (the Chief invented cloning), including B-Tone, who has been reprogrammed to kill Dan and Michael. There's a secret code on Cracked.com that reveals the secrets of the universe to anyone who reads every single word on the site [[ProductPlacement and buys certain items of Cracked merchandise.]] Michael has been subconsciously weaving the code into all of his articles. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also,]] as of the [[LastMinuteHookUp last thirty seconds,]] he and Dan are a couple.

** Episode 39: In the last 20 minutes of the Episode, Sovereign Uriel [[spoiler: steps down as the ruler of Emon...and then no less than ''four'' ancient dragons attack, including a massive red dragon who lays claim to the town. Vox Machina narrowly escapes. And as a cherry on top, Gilmore and all the other council members were at the meeting, and it is unknown if any of them survived]]

* TheSpoonyExperiment ([=AT4W=]'s sister series of sorts): Let's Play Final Fantasy X part 3. Black Lantern Spoony is intent on taking the show back and is bringing back the one person that can help him do just that, or to put it more accurately: TIDUS OF ZANARKAND, RISE!.

* No one believed that Eli from ''WebOriginal/DeagleNation'' was actually going to go to Israel or that Operation Tupacalypse was going to happen. Then Eli uploaded a video of him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHq6-XY4wd4 walking around Tell Aviv]].

** Episode 24, The Feast: Percy goes into greater detail about his backstory, the group has dinner with the Briarwoods, and Vax is caught trying to [[spoiler: sneak into the Briarwoods' bedroom.]] And so begins what could only be called a Wham ''Arc'', as evidenced by the fact that ''every episode'' in it so far qualifies for this trope.

* ''Series/{{Noob}}''
** Episode 7 (out of 18) from Season 3 ; [[spoiler:it turns out that Fantöm's avatar has been illegally enhanced for several years and get erased along with all its accomplishments]]. The damage eventually gets mostly repaired, but it takes the rest of the season.
** Up to three quarters of Season 4 episodes can qualify, making it a Wham Season. It started with the Season 3 issue partially resolved and the status quo seemingly coming back, but ended with [[spoiler:Arthéon's mind snapping, Omega Zell in Justice and apparently there to stay, Gaea in the Coalition and Noob guild disbanded. Each of these situations required two or three consecutive status quo changes]].

** Another episode plays it for laughs when, after Angry Joe shows up and reveals that the next review will be of ManOfSteel, the Critic lampshades that now they don't have a cliffhanger, only for Mr. Zebub to run in:

* From [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinny]]'s streams of ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'':
** Episode 28 sees an attempt to add an [[VideoGmae/TheBindingOfIsaac Isaac]] Mii to the game go horribly awry, as [[spoiler:he crashes the game - and since Vinny didn't save, ''everything he did that day was lost.'' It was explained away as a dimensional split, and Isaac was swiftly characterized as a RealityWarper (shaping the overarching story in a more [[CosmicHorrorStory cosmic horror]] bent).]]

It was explained away as a dimensional split, and Isaac was swiftly characterized as a RealityWarper (shaping the overarching story in a more [[CosmicHorrroStory cosmic horror]] bent).]]

** WebVideo/MarbleHornets: Entry #26 [[spoiler: Alex is alive and still stalked by The Operator]], Entry #49 [[spoiler: Alex kills a man and leaves his body for The Operator]], and Entry #61 [[spoiler: We witness how Tim becomes his masked persona]].

** The Jahn trio spend most of the series as slightly unnerving but ultimately harmless aliens whose gimmick was their complete lack of individuality. In episode 47, [[spoiler:the third Jahn (the newly-appointed Captain), upon being complimented for his photographic skills, comments [[{{Foreshadowing}} "I could rule the world with this kind of talent!"]] Naturally, Vinny assumes that they now aim to TakeOverTheWorld.]] This takes a much darker turn in the next episode[[labelnote:*]]which, mind, was on AprilFoolsDay[[/labelnote]], where [[spoiler:the Jahns begin their invasion by [[KillAndReplace mysteriously deleting three islanders and replacing them with their own kind.]] However, the fact that [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Lolly]] (the only girl removed) was replaced by a ''female'' Jehn implies that ''[[AssimilationPlot they're being transformed into Jahns.]]'']] Not only that, but [[spoiler:''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Vinny himself]]'' seems to be affected by their mind control]]!

* ''TheSecretLifeOfDolls''' "Paradise Lost". Edward Tallen makes good on his claims that he's dangerous, and kills Ellowyne Two.

** Episode 7 (out of 18) from Season 3 ; [[spoiler:it turns out that Fantöm's avatar has been illegally enhanced for several years and get arased along with all its accomplishments]]. The damage eventually gets mostly repaired, but it takes the rest of the season.

* The Season 6 finale of ''RedPandaAdventures'', ''There Will Be Rain Tonight''. [[spoiler:Most of the Red Panda's agents are missing behind Nazi lines, most of the Home Team is killed, and the Red Panda and Doc Rocket's plane explodes in flight.]]

* Episode 5 of TOME. The first season finale could count as this as well. [[spoiler: These episodes firmly acknowledge that The Forbidden Power, which had previously been a valuable asset to Alpha, is a VERY big bad.]]
