History WhamEpisode / WebOriginal

* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has several.
** The events of arc 8 [[spoiler:particularly Leviathan's devastation of Brockton Bay,]] completely rewrite the status quo for the next fourteen or so arcs.
** 22.6 ends with [[spoiler: Taylor joining the Wards, leaving Brockton Bay and the Undersiders behind.]]
** Interlude 26 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]]''.]]

** According to WordOfGod, Chapter VII is going to be an even larger WhamEpisode.

** As of the relaunch, an even bigger one is [[spoiler:THE FATHER.wmv, which turns ''everything we know about the story'' upside-down. BEN was trying keep Jadusable from awakening The Father, the real evil. When Jadusable starts digging too deep, BEN drops his creepy act and ''begs'' him not to continue. It doesn't work.]]

* The Season 6 finale of ''Podcast/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.]]

* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'':
** In Episode 19, [[spoiler: we finally get to see Desert Bluffs... in all its horrifying, viscera-covered glory.]]
** Episode 25, a year after the first, details [[spoiler:the invasion by the ancient civilisation below the bowling alley, Carlos' near death at their hands, and [[OfficialCouple Carlos and Cecil]] [[RelationshipUpgrade finally getting together]].]]
** And then in Episode 32, [[spoiler:Old Woman Josie's angel friends disappear, the Man in the Tan Jacket is given several possible names... and [[MegaCorp [=StrexCorp=]]] moves into Night Vale, buying the radio station.]]
** In Episode 33, Cecil discovers a set of cassette tapes he made from when he was fifteen and shares them with the audience. Teenager!Cecil rambles about his family, the state of the town and his internship at Night Vale Community Radio. [[spoiler:Except Adult!Cecil doesn't remember making the tapes. Nor does he remember anything about interning at NVCR, whatever it was that was following him at the time, or even ''having a brother''.]] This episode also includes the first reference to Cecil's last name, something the fandom had previously assumed he shared with his voice actor.
** Episode 36, ''Missing'', revolves around [[spoiler:[[LittleMissBadass Tamika Flynn's]] sudden disappearance and [=StrexCorp=]'s attempt to hunt her down and capture her. Cecil may or may not have severed all ties with Strex after they threatened to shut down his show and is hiding on the roof of the Night Vale Community Radio Station, urging his listeners to revolt]]. Since this is likely the lead in to the live episode airing sometime in December, this is sort of a given.

* The season one finale of ''Podcast/{{Tanis}}'', "The Map" becomes this as soon as Nic and his companions reach the forest and the dialogue is an almost word-for-word match for [[spoiler:the first ApocalypticLog entry in episode 5]].

** And then there's the series finale. HolyShitQuotient doesn't even BEGIN to describe it.

** "Silent Hill:Dead/Alive #'s 5 and 6": The Magic Gun is actually an ultra powerful weapon created in a nightmarish ritual using th e soul of an innocent girl.

And then to top it off we see Lord Vyce in full view for the first time and learn he's brought in a specialist... Linksano.
