* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has several of these.
** From [[Recap/RWBYV1E15TheStray The Stray]], after Weiss goes on a rant against the [[FantasticTerrorists White]] [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Fang]], a [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]] rights group:
--->'''Blake:''' Well, maybe [[HideYourOtherness we]] were just tired of being pushed around!
** In [[Recap/RWBYV4E4Family Family]], after [[BigGood Ozpin]] has been dead for several episodes, an unassuming [[FarmBoy farm boy]] and the viewers both get a [[ResurrectiveImmortality surprise]].
--->'''Ozpin (in Oscar's head):''' Hello! I'm Professor Ozpin.
** In [[Recap/RWBYV5E12VaultOfTheSpringMaiden Vault of the Spring Maiden]], after Cinder kills Vernal to get the Spring Maiden's power:
--->'''Cinder:''' Where's the power?!\\
'''Raven:''' You won't find it. Because [[RedHerring Vernal]] isn't the Spring Maiden... (Removes her mask, revealing [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]]) I AM!
** The final lines of [[Recap/RWBYV6E3TheLostFable The Lost Fable]] are a massive wham.
--->'''Ozma:''' How do I destroy [[BigBad Salem?]]\\
'''[[OurGeniesAreDifferent Jinn:]]''' You can't.
** Grimm are mindless beasts. So in [[Recap/RWBYV8E2Refuge Refuge]], when Ren demands that The Hound give Oscar back, he isn't expecting an answer. But he gets one.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' Season 6's ''Reconstruction'' is the storyline that transforms the show from a lighthearted, plot-light comedy, bringing together random events, one-off jokes and RunningGags to invent a [[CerebusSyndrome serious, heavy storyline]] and overarching metaplot that is fully revealed by [[KnightOfCerebus Agent Washington]] in Chapter 16. [[spoiler:It also transforms the story role and true nature of one character, something they and audience learn from Agent Washington together.]]

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' Season 6's ''Reconstruction'' ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles The Blood Gulch Chronicles]]'':
*** After cornering the final copy of Wyoming, Tucker explains to Church and Tex that he plans to infect his alien son Junior, who is worshipped as a messiah by the Sangheili, with O'Malley to end the Great War. This
is the moment when the show changes direction into a proper storyline instead of just being a series about wacky hijinks.
---->'''Church:''' Now
that transforms we have you, all we need to do is stop O'Malley. And Tex is more than happy to do that.\\
'''Wyoming:''' Oh, on
the show from a lighthearted, plot-light comedy, bringing together random events, one-off jokes and RunningGags to invent a [[CerebusSyndrome serious, heavy storyline]] and overarching metaplot contrary, my friend, now that she knows our plan, not only will Tex not stop us; our dear Tex is fully revealed by [[KnightOfCerebus Agent Washington]] in Chapter 16. [[spoiler:It also transforms going to join us.\\
'''Church:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, yeah. I'm sure she'd be happy to help O'Malley.]] Isn't that right, Tex? Tex?\\
'''Tex:''' [[FaceHeelTurn He's right. This is Freelancer Tex, broadcasting on an open channel.]]
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection The Recollection]]'':
*** The end of "Chapter 16" has a major one. After revealing to Church
the story role history of Project Freelancer, and true nature of one character, something they and audience learn from Agent how it created the AI fragments by psychologically torturing the Project's AI Alpha, Washington together.]]tells Church where the Alpha is.
---->'''Washington:''' [[TomatoInTheMirror You're one of them. You're an AI. You… are the Alpha.]]
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheProjectFreelancerSaga The Project Freelancer Saga]]'':
*** At the very end of Season 9, Carolina, who thus far had only appeared in flashbacks, shown nothing but UndyingLoyalty to the Director, and was presumed dead for most of the series, reveals herself to be the one behind the Reds and Blues' rescue of Church. This kicks off an entirely new direction for the show, involving the Reds and Blues effectively cleaning up the Freelancers' mess.
---->'''Carolina:''' You're going to do what I should have done years ago. You're going to help me kill the Director.
*** "May I suggest Flowers?" "You mean Agent Florida?" The line that completely changed who [[PosthumousCharacter Butch]] [[NiceGuy Flowers]] was and what his purpose in Blood Gulch was.
** [[Machinima/RedVsBlueSeason14 Season 14]]:
*** The prequel episodes have a ''major'' CerebusRetcon, where they take a random joke from the early days of the show and retcon it into a massively important plot point:
---->"The world will never forget [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul Private Jimmy]]."

Most of these are misuse; they're either the natural conclusion of a plot, or the reveal that the scene is building towards. A number of them are also able to be figured out in advance (like O'Malley being confirmed gone, so he has to be in another character's head; or the Epsilon reveal, which comes after several instances of a whispering voice taunting Wash in the same scene; or Church realising there will be copies because of previous loops; the identity of the Alpha was set up and predictable, so it's just The Reveal; and so on.)


*** The first season finale, which introduces the BigBad for ''The Blood Gulch Chronicles'':
----> '''[[NotHimself Caboose]]:''' [[ThatManIsDead I told you, my name isn't Caboose...]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis My... name... is...]] [[AIIsACrapshoot O'Malley]].
*** Sarge's call for reinforcements leads to the reveal that Blue Team’s MissionControl, Vic, serves as this for the Red Team as well, revealing that someone is RunningBothSides:
----> '''[[MissionControlIsOffItsMeds Vic]]''': Oh, hey there Sarge, long time no see! Sorry about that, I, uh... Anyway, what can we do for you here at [[RunningBothSides Red Command]] today?
*** In "Same Old, Same Old", Tucker kills Wyoming after realizing Wyoming has an armor enhancement that allows him to set up time loops until he wins and that he remembers the loops thanks to his alien sword. As Tucker explains this to Church, Church suddenly remembers something about his own experience with time travel.
----> '''Church:''' Wait, wait, how many times did we loop?\\
'''Tucker:''' Who knows? Doesn't matter now. The cocksuckers dead.\\
'''Church:''' No, no, it does matter. [[CallBack Don't you remember when we came here to begin with? I got stuck in a loop,]] and every time I came back, I left a bunch of- ''([[WhamShot The two run into several copies of Wyoming waiting for them]])'' [[OhCrap ...copies.]]



*** After the Reds and Blues invade Freelancer Command to reclaim the Alpha AI and expose Project Freelancer's misdeeds, Wash reveals he has a different game plan after seemingly recovering the AI.
----> '''Church:''' Is that the Alpha?\\
'''Washington:''' No. This is Epsilon. This is ''my'' AI.
*** In the next episode, Wash reveals just where the Alpa is in a line that changesthe entire series up to that point.
----> '''Wash:''' Church, [[DoingInTheWizard there's no such thing as ghosts]]. [[TomatoInTheMirror You're one of them. You're an AI. You...are the Alpha]].



*** As Simmons, Donut, and Lopez attempt to fend off the Meta, Wash arrives.
----> '''Agent Washington:''' Stand down, Meta! [[FaceHeelTurn I'll take it from here.]]
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheProjectFreelancerSaga The Project Freelancer Saga]]'':



*** After Church searches inside CT's data tag:
----> '''Church:''' [[HesBack I just remembered]] ''[[HesBack everything.]]''
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy The Chorus Trilogy]]'':
*** When Tucker, Grif, Simmons, and Caboose finally manage to find Sarge, Wash, Lopez, and Donut after they are captured by the Feds, we get this:
----> '''Simmons:''' We came to rescue you!\\
'''Donut:''' But... ''we'' were supposed to save you!
*** When Locus holds the Reds and Blues at gunpoint, Felix arrives to rescue them:
----> '''Felix:''' Tucker! Grenade!\\
''(Tucker tosses a grenade he had been hiding to Felix, which he catches)''\\
'''Felix:''' [[EvilAllAlong That! Was! Close!]] ''(smugly)'' [[EvilAllAlong Nice throw, Tucker.]]
*** As the Reds and Blues prepare to make their LastStand aboard the ''Staff of Charon'':
----> '''Tucker:''' See you on the other side, Church.\\
''(Time stops)''\\
'''Church:''' ''(sighs)'' [[HeroicSacrifice Not this]] [[TheHeroDies time, buddy.]]



*** In "Call", Locus, Felix, and Siris try to blackmail notorious mob boss Ruben Lozano after capturing his son, only for Lozano to say one thing that makes it clear that they've made a big mistake.
---> '''Ruben Lozano:''' You think I give a shit about my son?



*** Grif secluded himself in a cave, not wanting to go on another adventure. Dylan gives him a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech, and Grif replies with this:
----> '''Grif:''' '''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU DON'T KNOW ME, LADY!]] I HATE [[VitriolicBestBuds SIMMONS]]! I HATE [[DrillSergeantNasty SARGE!]] I HATE''' '''''EVERYBODY!''''' '''[[ShutUpKirk PRINT THAT IN YOUR FUCKING PAPER!]]'''
*** And in case it wasn’t immediately clear what he was going to do, he announces this when he walks up to the Blood Gulch Crew.
----> '''Grif:''' I was thinking... I quit.



*** As Washington tries to figure out where he's time travelled to, we get this:
----> '''Command:''' Recovery One, this is Command, requesting a sit-rep.



** ''Zero'':
*** "We need to save [[TheBusCameBack Lavernius Tucker!]]"
