{{quote|''"I think it can be pretty interesting how a single line in [[Homestuck|a story]], even one that's seven words, can dramatically alter the perception of [[Darkest Hour|everything that just happened]]."''
|'''[[Andrew Hussie]]''', via his former [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures154147870025488514 Formspring]}}
Just as a [[Wham! Episode]] is an episode that radically alters the [[Story Arc]], a '''Wham! Line''' is a line of dialogue that radically alters a scene. A scene is set up, plays out as expected, a line totally at odds with the established tone of the scene is uttered, and that line changes the course of the scene dramatically from then on out. The result shocks the audience out of their current mindset, and engages them fresh in the work.
