Chad: If you wanna find out just over to our social me—oh who am I kidding, it's Hawkeye. You know it's Hawkeye. If it weren't Hawkeye, that would just be ridiculous.

Yami: ATLANTIS! It makes perfect sense!
Kaiba: Wait, didn't we know about Atlantis this whole time? Isn't that why you guys wanted to check out the museum in the first place? How is this new information in any way?
Yami: Kaiba, sometimes I just like to blow off steam by reacting to obvious statements that everyone already knew about as though they were massive plot twists. Why don't you give it a whirl?
Kaiba: Ok, I guess it could be fun. Hang on... that insignia on the carvings... it's the same insignia used by the secret Illuminati style organization that bought out my company!
Yami: I thought Dartz was the one who did that...
Kaiba: And now I'm going to reveal who is in charge of that organization!
Yami: I mean it's obviously going to be Dartz.
Kaiba: Oh no! Yugi! The man in charge of the organization that has taken over my company...IT'S DARTZ! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT A TWIST THIS IS!
(Beat)
Kaiba: Too much?
Yami: Way too much.

"[The Engineer] has clearly been taken over by the intelligence behind those robots - AKA Brainiac. Look, I get that they were trying to go for a big reveal, but that's Brainiac’s symbol! By this point in The DCU, New 52 or not, the three circles connected like that are Brainiac's symbol! It’s like sticking a bat-logo on everything and then being shocked that Batman is behind it!"

Lex Luthor: Hello, my dear.
Lois Lane: Aha! I knew it! Through my journalistic skills, I figured out it was you, thus completing my essential role to this film.
Lex: Oh, you figured out that Lex Luthor was the bad guy, huh? Real brainscratcher there. Nobody else would've figured that one out. [Lois's smile starts to fade] You really solidified yourself as a necessity there. You know what I was doing while you were figuring out that incredible info? Figured out who Superman was, figured out who Batman was, and I planned two kidnappings to take place on the night that he was planning to finish him off. [He looks behind him and the Bat Signal comes on] See? See? There you go. And you know what the best part is? I did all of that off-screen! So even I don't know how I did all this impossible shit!
Lois: Um...
[Lex puts on a very familiar jacket.]
Lex: Phew, is it chilly up here or is that just the cold uselessness of your character?

"I remember being confused by Lysandre in X/Y because I didn't realize him being a villain was supposed to be a secret. Like I legit didn't understand the game wanted me to think he wasn't the leader of Team Flare."

"For the years and years leading up to Security Breach, the developers would egg fans on by saying "Who is this Vanny character?" It's Vanessa. "She's stalking the Pizzaplex, who could it be?" It could be Vanessa, because it is. "Who knows who this madman could be?" We could, if you told us it was Vanessa, because it is."
"It's pot! ...IT'S POT! The missing ingredient is pot! Spoilers, the secret ingredient is going to be pot! In this movie that revolves entirely around pot, in which two characters literally are pot, yes! The science project will be rescued with pot! Sorry for giving that away, it's gonna be mind-blowing when you found out."
— Todd in the Shadows in his review of Mac and Devin go to High School.
."And... the Arkham Knight. A young-sounding man in a red suit, who clearly has a long past with Bruce Wayne. And if you can't guess who that is before the game tells you, welcome to your first Batman story!"
