"Jeremy: I want you to call our offices in the Far East, I want every available man sent to work, have them send you every document they can get. I want Cliff Barnes to have all he needs for a full investigation. Dave: We're changing sides? We're getting into bed with Cliff Barnes? Jeremy: I want Ewing Oil involved in a scandal so big that their charter will be revoked. I want to see the end of Ewing Oil so that I can pick up the pieces, and if J.R. Ewing goes to jail, so much the better."

 * "New Beginnings":

"Bobby: (in shower) Good morning!"
 * "It's Kristin, calling from California. She just gave birth to a baby boy. You have another son."
 * And, of course, the series' most infamous Wham Line was one of the most innocuous two-word phrases in the English language:

 * "Both Sides Now", Amber: "So this is the story you made up about who you are. It's a nice one."
 * "Body and Soul", Wilson:
 * "Everybody Dies" (series finale), House:.
 * Many episodes featured the Wham! Line "you're dying" or something to that effect. Sometimes they really were dying, but it was usually the penultimate diagnosis and was followed by a Wham Moment in which House had an epiphany and came up with the correct diagnosis. Cue happy, or, at worst, Bittersweet Ending.
 * D. Gibbons is a bad man.

 * Farscape: Noranti whispers in Crichton's ear : "Aeryn...is...with child." Naturally this is followed seconds later by Moya being swallowed into a wormhole, and then John is unable to contact Aeryn for "some time" (long enough for him to grow an impressive beard, at least).
 * "I condemn you, John Crichton...to live! So that your lust for unfulfilled revenge...will consume you."
 * Made even worse in that this was in the middle of a procedure that temporarily removed the speech center of John's brain, during which Scorpious presumably killed the doctor, the one person on the planet (if not the galaxy) who could have repaired the damage.
 * Crichton attempts to return to Moya from Einstein's realm via wormhole fails, taking him to (1980s) Earth instead. "Whoops."

"Tara: I am you know. Willow: What's that? Tara: Yours."

"Cordelia: That...you have to get. Oh, and you're welcome. Angel: (picks up phone) Hello? Yes, I know, she’s..."

 * "I say yes." (Shaz, 3x02)
 * This bit of dialogue from the finale, though most viewers had caught on already:

"Cat: Jade's dad is only coming to the play on the first night, right? Tori: Yeah. Cat: So then why don't we just do it the way Jade wrote it for that one night? Tori: 'Cause, Mrs. Li is gonna be there and she wants it done her way. Cat: But what if she's not there? Andre: I think Cat just said something pretty smart."

Edmund: Yes, I hope their cafes are well stocked; everyone seems determined to eat out the moment they arrive. George: No, really, this is brave, splendid and noble! ...Sir? Edmund: Yes, Lieutenant? George: I'm scared, sir."
 * There are two in the final episode of Blackadder:
 * While they're discussing Darling's arrival in their dugout. To this point in the episode, George has happily awaited the order to advance, going so far as to turn down an offer to leave with General Melchett before the battle.

"Darling: I say, listen - our guns have stopped. George: You don't think... Baldrick: ...perhaps...the war's over? Perhaps it's peace. Darling: Thank God. We lived through it."
 * Just before they go over the top.

"Dr. Cox: Aren't you going to take some pictures? JD: Pictures of what? Dr. Cox: You know. Crying babies covered in chocolate. People singing happy birthday to my son who've never even met him before. You know, the whole routine. JD:"
 * In fact, by this time in the war, the guns would still have been firing since the "Creeping Barrage" was standard practice - the artillery gradually entended the aiming point at roughly the same speed as the advancing infantry.
 * What, you expected anything in an attack organised by General Melchett to go right?!
 * A number of Burn Notice episodes, including:

 * Additionally, his line towards Decade in the finale regarding his mission:
 * Played for laughs in Whose Line Is It Anyway? - in the game called (oddly enough) Whose Line, Colin and Ryan are given slips of paper with pre-written lines to incorporate into the scene, and since the writing is usually done before the show starts, the Wham! Line aspect of taking the scene in a different direction is unavoidable...but Colin and Ryan don't even miss a beat.
 * An outright Lampshade Hanging occurs in Scenes from a Hat when the suggestion "Worst lines in a Soap Opera leading into commercials" is pulled out.
 * Torchwood: Children of Earth, when the 456 reveal their interest in human children:

"Gretchen: "Oh my god... it's me.""
 * Happens about Once a Season in Survivor, usually coinciding with a Shocking Elimination. Examples are:
 * Borneo: "The Merger" - this line at Tribal Council is considered by a few long-time fans as the line that changed the entire course of the series itself:

"Nick:"
 * The Australian Outback: "Trial By Fire'':

"Sean: "This is the order, how it's gonna go?""
 * Marquesas: "Jury's Out" - With Boston Rob eliminated from the game, it looks like nothing can stop John Caroll and the Rotu 4 from cruising all the way to the end of the game. The next immunity challenge is the coconut chop challenge, and the Rotu 4 gang up and eliminate their main target, Sean Rector, first. It looks like Sean is doomed at the next tribal council. The Rotu 4 then proceed to eliminate Vecepia ... then Kathy ... then Neleh. Sean then observes aloud:

"Sandra: "And in my head, and mumbling under my breath, I was like 'I swear on my two kids that I'm gonna screw you [Jon] and Burton.'""
 * With that, Kathy, Neleh and Paschal realize that Rotu is showing their planned order of voting, and that they are at the bottom of the former Rotu hierarchy. They proceed to join forces with Sean and Vecepia, blindside the arrogant John at the next Tribal Council, and wipe out the rest of the Rotu 4 at the next 3 votes.
 * Pearl Islands: "Mutiny" - Jonny Fairplay appears to have the game in hand - he and Burton are one tribal council away from the final four for both of them. To make sure that they're both a lock for the endgame, he approaches Sandra to make sure that she's going to vote along with him. She appears to agree, but just so Jon is sure that Sandra's going along with his plans, he makes her swear on her two kids, which she does. Satisfied, he walks away, and we cut to a Sandra confessional...

"Jeff Probst: (revealing the third vote for Parvati) Parvati, does not count. We're still at two votes Russell. (reveals next vote) Parvati, does not count."
 * What follows is Jon and Burton's game completely collapsing on itself.
 * Heroes vs. Villains: "Banana Etiquette" - The majority alliance is planning to take out Russell or Parvati at the tribal council that night, and decide to split their votes between the two, while Parvati, Russell, and Danielle vote for Tyson. At the tribal council, Russell plays the hidden immunity idol for Parvati, and...:

"Jeff Probst: (pulls out the sixth vote) Steve (Steve goes Oh Crap, Julie Face Palms, Matt nods smugly) That's five votes Grant, one vote Steve. (reveals next vote) Matt."
 * Redemption Island: "This Game Respects Big Moves" - The minority alliance is planning to weaken Rob and his majority alliance by convincing Matt (who had returned from the titular island after being blindsided) to go along with them and taking out Grant. Rob gets wind of this and immediately starts taking countermeasures by talking Matt back onto his side, secretly planning to have his alliance cut him loose immediately. The minority alliance anticipates the majority outvoting them, so at the tribal council, the immunity idol is played on Mike, the most obvious target. All of the votes from the minority come up Grant, and then...

"Coach: “I’m gonna tell you right now, our tribe isn’t budging ... and I feel like you guys are trying to play us.”"
 * South Pacific: "Double Agent" - Ozzy's bold gambit to get himself voted to Redemption Island in order to take out Christine, betting that they were about to merge and his play would bring his tribe into the merge even with the other tribe, actually works when he defeats Christine in the challenge and they do in fact merge, bringing him back into the game. The second part of his plan involves Ozzy acting at the Redemption Island challenge like Cochran betrayed the whole tribe by playing the immunity idol. This would allow Cochran to infiltrate the other tribe as a double agent. Later, Cochran is playing up being on the outs with his tribe to Coach to try to get more information. It seems to be going well, until:
