** Preserved Killick is the name of Jack Aubrey's servant. Really.
* Terry Brooks' ''[[Magic Kingdom of Landover]]'' series had the gnomes that were incredibly bad liars.
* ''[[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]]'' has a tribe of people [[Planet of Hats|who are all]] Bad Liars. People with the gift for lying are considered very valuable in this tribe; [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|they are elected at various government and diplomacy positions and wear the glorious title of Liars]].
** In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Jingo|Jingo]]'', Sergeant Colon and Captain Carrot are both really bad at going undercover. In fact, Carrot is such a bad liar in ''Jingo'' that he can't even convincingly keep quiet when someone else is lying. During a briefing at the palace, the Patrician sends him out of the room because watching him twitch every time Commander Vimes opens his mouth is disconcerting.
* ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'': When called upon to make up a phone number, Cassie comes up with "12345678". Marco, who has no problem making up anything ever, chastises her ASAP.
Line 188:
{{quote| '''J.D.''': ([[Internal Monologue]]): Now you're going to lie here. Don't be too specific.<br />
'''J.D.''': Since one forty-two yesterday afternoon. His wife didn't want him to do it. She's beautiful, by the way; [[Boat Lights|one blue eye, one green eye]]. She's from Luxemburg. They're both from Luxemburg. They're Luxem ... burgian.<br />
'''Dr Cox''': Where in Luxemburg? [[I Am One of Those, Too|I spent two weeks there]].<br />
'''J.D.''': ([[Internal Monologue]]): What are the odds? Just stay vague.<br />
'''J.D.''': Outside Mertert, near the German border. They say what they miss most are those lazy summer afternoons on the Mouselle River. }}

== I swear these aren't Web Comics. ==
* ''[[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|Brawl in The Family]]'' [http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/comic103.html plays with this].
* Thief, Red Mage, and Black Mage from ''[[
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=247 Antimony is sometimes like this.]
** [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=211 Sometimes?] Honestly, she's just not very good at making things up. She also fails at [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=180 coming up with] a [[Bond One
* ''[[Chainsawsuit]]'': [http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/11/19/strip-110/ Roger the Bad Liar].
* ''[[Something Positive (Webcomic)|Something Positive]]'': Jason kidnapped Anna's supposedly unworthy boyfriend. Anna followed the trail of drag-marks to Jason's apartment and demanded an explanation.
Line 274:
{{quote| '''Lois:''' Those look like our sheets and our quilt.<br />
'''Brian:''' They are -- I'm-I'm washing them in some fabric softener because last night they were so itchy I couldn't sleep which is why I was downstairs when you asked me if everything was okay... You know, 'cause it was so itchy. }}
* Liar Starscream (whom [[Word of God]] definitely hasn't named Ramjet...) from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' [[Blatant Lies|never speaks a word other than the truth. Everything he says most certainly does not sound like a lie.]] [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ramjet_(Animated) This page] at the [[Transformers]] Wiki is not about him, and does not make his lying (which he never does BTW) [[Self
** Ironically this means he really can't lie -- as long as you keep in mind that what he's saying is a lie, swap it around and you've got the truth.
* ''[[The Brak Show (Animation)|The Brak Show]]'': Brak's new neighbor and not-so-secret [[I'm a Humanitarian|cannibal]], Franklin, does this often throughout normal conversation. Appropriately, his [[Pinocchio Nose|nose grows longer]] each time he does.
Line 289:
'''Dean:''' Mmmmmmaybe... }}
* Beezy on ''[[Jimmy Two Shoes]]''. He'll often buckle under pressure and tell people to quit interrogating him, even if they're simply commenting casually to what he is saying.
* Applejack from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is defined by her honesty. In the second season's pilot, Discord turns her into a liar, but doesn't exactly give her the skills to do it well. Every time she lies, she bites her lip and makes shifty eyes.
** And when she's actually speaking, she blurts it out in a manner that makes it look like she's the dumbest pony alive-both in facial expression and [[Cloudcuckoolander|content]]. She gets better at it in the next episode, at which point it's resolved.
* Artemis in ''[[Young Justice (Animation)|Young Justice]]''. She looks away, stutters, and visibly has to fish for ideas when lying. This is made kind of hilarious by the fact that {{spoiler|her father and sister are supervillains, and her mother is a reformed one}}. Which is usually what she's lying about.
