15 People Tell Obvious Lies, Get Called Out Quick

Via: thenonking on Reddit

There’s a certain public figure who’s got my goad for the last, oh I don’t know, several years. I won’t say their name because first of all I’m tired of it and second of all I’d probably mess up the algorithm or something.

You can easily guess who I’m talking about or swap in your own annoyance of choice. But the reason I bring this up is that one of the things that has returned to my head about this person over and over again is that not only are they a liar, they’re not even a good liar.

It’s one thing to watch someone be taken in by a silver-tongued deceiver. It’s another thing to just watch a dummy say clearly untrue stuff as clumsily as possible and get away with it. Which is what some internet heroes were trying to put a stop to in these wonderful examples of liars getting caught via Reddit.

15. Expect the unexpecting

What exactly are you trying to pull here, Nick?

14. Stick to it

The cringe is strong with this one.

13. Lush kush

You um…you might want to go to the hospital, honestly.

12. A work of art

Yeah, don’t do this, you’re gonna get caught.

11. What’s old, pussycat?

This is like one of the most famous comedy bits of my generation, what are you doing?

10. Brandnew

Press X to doubt.

9. “Rural”

As someone who drives through the midwest routinely, I assure you that huge swaths of America are in fact fields and grasslands.

8. Backyard bargains

Good thing she didn’t have to hike far.

7. I Am That I Am

Maybe their point was that “Am” isn’t conventionally used on its own, but you can take that prescriptivist lingual nonsense elsewhere.

6. The few, the proud

Turns out that the US military understands the important of not letting disease spread through its troops.

5. Bet you can’t

Come on, at LEAST block your mom from the post when you make it.

4. Truck you

Are you a time traveler?

3. No reason

Usually when someone claims people are mad at them for “no reason,” they are very much lying.

2. Ugly pregnant and balding

Can we talk about projection for a minute?

1. Hail Satan

And his official Twitter account, I guess.

Just stop lying, y’all. Cut it all the way out.
