Few people enjoy having twists in a story they're interested in ruined for them. So naturally, it serves as a good way to cause someone grief.
When a person feels like the somebody is very immersed to that book or movie, or wants to upset somebody, be it as a form of revenge or sheerly for their own amusement, they'll spoil a moment from a work that they know their target wants to experience for themselves. This is often done as a form of petty revenge when they feel as though they've been wronged. In the worst-case scenario, the character will give spoilers out loud to everyone in the theater.
This prank spans back to the era of movie ushers where an Unsatisfiable Customer kept demanding to be seated somewhere else, and once they were finally content with their seat, the usher whispered the movie's big twist in the customer's ear before leaving.
A slightly more benign version of this is to give fake spoilers for equal troll factor.
Subtrope of Spoiler.

The Simpsons:
In "The Bob Next Door", Sideshow Bob has Bart once again held captive in his latest plan to murder him. After explaining his plan to kill him on top the Five Corners landmark, Bob quotes the biggest spoiler that takes placenote Snape killing Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, unaware that Bart hasn't reached that far into the series.
In "Beware My Cheating Bart", Homer becomes entertained by a Lost-parody show he watched on the treadmill and keeps blowing an airhorn at anyone who tries to spoil it. When Marge can't stand Homer's addiction to the show anymore, she begrudgingly spoils the ending to several episodes of it, upsetting Homer.
In "Bart The Bad Guy", Bart secretly watches online the upcoming sequel to an Avengers: Infinity War-parody movie before it airs. Since everyone in Springfield is looking forward to watching it, Bart takes advantage of his knowledge of what happens next to blackmail people to give him everything he wants, threatening to spoil the movie if they don't.

Jessie: In "Trouble with Tessie", Luke and Ravi recorded an MMA fight that they want to view in the screening room, and have painstakingly avoided spoilers all day. Emma wanted to watch a show of her own with Bertram in there but were forced by the two boys to interrupt their viewing so they can view the match. She retaliated by looking up online the outcome of the match and read it aloud to them before they could watch it. Ravi does a Big "NO!" and Luke tried to pounce on her, but Bertram held him back.

Weaponized in Naruto. After the Time Skip, Naruto and Sakura have a sparring match with their teacher Kakashi, where the victory condition is managing to steal a pair of bells off his belt. At first, Kakashi is winning thanks to his Sharingan, which lets him perfectly read their movements. However, Naruto gets the idea of exploiting Kakashi's weakness: his love of the Make-Out series of books. Due to training under Jiraiya, the author of these novels, he knows the plot of the still-unreleased Make-Out Tactics, so he distracts Kakashi by threatening to spoil the book's ending. Unfortunately for Kakashi, covering his ears isn't enough, since his Sharingan's perfect vision also means he can still read his lips, forcing him to close his eyes to avoid having the book spoiled, which allows Naruto and Sakura to grab the bells and win the fight.

Wondermark: In "321: The Failure of an Entrepreneur", a man walks up to a line of Harry Potter fans, apparently lined up to purchase Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and threatens to tell them all how the book ends unless each person pays him a dollar. His attempted blackmail fails because everyone else has already read the book. They aren't lined up to purchase Deathly Hallows; they're lined up to see a rock that J.K. Rowling touched, because they're that desperate for new Harry Potter content.

Community: In "Analysis of Cork-Based Networking", Abed deliberately spoils a major event of a Game of Thrones-esque TV series for Britta due to an argument they were having over it. Fueled by vengeance, Britta buys and reads every novel that the series is based on in order to spoil Abed. Abed dodges every attempt Britta makes to spoil him until Britta hires a deaf girl to bond with Abed, who promptly spoils a major event of the latest book to Abed through sign language. Abed cuts Britta's gloating quite short by telling her that her method was too cruel and walks away from the girl that he had come to see as an actual friend until Britta sprung her trick.

Scrubs:
In "My Hypocritical Oath", after Dr. Cox misses a basketball game between the Lakers and Heat, Kelso allows Cox to watch a recording of it on Kelso's VCR. After spending a whole day avoiding any possible details of the game, when Cox finally sits down and watches it, Kelso reveals to have taped himself over the beginning of the tape, telling Cox the winning team and the score, getting back at Cox for messing with his treadmill earlier in the episode.
Earlier in the same episode, Cox spoils The Sixth Sense for The Janitor as he was watching it due to The Janitor leaving his mop bucket around and Cox tripping over it. In turn, Janitor threatens to spoil the basketball game for Cox, so Cox bribes him out of it.
Weaponized by Carla in "My Number One Doctor". In order to get Kelso to actually listen to her gossip about The Janitor having a girlfriend, she subtly threatens to let Kelso know whether or not Harry lives or dies in the end of Deathly Hallows.

But Muscle Man nearly spoils the ending for them, forcing them to abandon the task and get back to their TV to see it for themselves. When Benson finds out, he has Muscle Man tell him the ending of the show, then tracks down the pair intending to tell them the ending of the series as punishment.

danisnotonfire: In one of Dan's videos, he talks about his extreme aversion to spoilers in general, and suspects it's probably linked to an incident when he was in school. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had just come out and he and all his classmates were reading as quickly as they could. Until one kid, Ahmed, who had finished earlier than most, walked into class and shouted, "DUMBLEDORE DIES ON PAGE 556!" for a laugh. As Dan points out, this is quite possibly the single biggest spoiler in the entire franchise, so needless to say, people were not amused.

Friends: In "The One Where Monica and Richard Are Just Friends", when Joey accidentally spoils a major part of The Shining for Rachel, she retaliates by deliberately spoiling a plot twist in Little Women. Joey tries to one up her by revealing what happens to Jack, only for Rachel to completely devastate him by saying Beth dies. Chandler and Ross encourage Rachel to say that's not true, so as not to ruin the book for Joey (at least until he finally gets to that part of the book).

In an episode of Hill Street Blues, Renko had his VCR record a game while he was on duty, then spent the entire episode deliberately avoiding any news broadcast that might tell him the outcome, and warning all his friends not to tell him. He was in court with a man he'd arrested, and at the end of the scene the suspect spitefully asked the judge what the outcome of the game was. Renko gave a Big "NO!", the judge responded with a Big "YES!" and revealed the outcome of the game. The suspect smirked as Renko groaned in dismay.
