Blatant Lies/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


No, no, these are examples of Blatant Lies in Web Unoriginal works

Horrible: "We're meeting now for the first time!"
Hammer: You look...horribly familiar.
Horrible: Just have that kind of face! Must be going now...!

    • In the final song:

Horrible: And I am fine...

  • Awkward has Alex, who will say pretty much anything if it gets him a little closer to target-of-his-affections Lester.

Alex: (while following a half-naked Lester around the kitchen with a video camera) Makin' a video. For school. Yeah, it's a documentary about, um... kitchen life.

  • Stories on Pseudopod are usually introduced with "I have a story for you, and I promise you, it's true."
  • The blogger Chromagic does this all the time.
    • For example, "And, you know, [Sandslash has] huge long talons. Also like me."
  • Ranger in Comic Fury Werewolf during Game 11 had an exchange seen as either hilarious or quite frustrating in Game 11, where he claimed, "I'm not a wolf!" After he was dead. And confirmed by the host.
  • Count how many times Zoë says she will cut something out of episodes of The Webcomics Company podcast.
  • Half of what's written in My Opinions On Every Pokémon Ever.
  • Even on TV Tropes, on most pages warning of unmarked spoilers, the majority of the spoilers are marked anyway.
  • This Lolcat.
    • Also several variations involving a cat sitting in the middle of a gigantic mess with a caption declaring something along the lines of "What? I had nothing to do with it!" Cat (and dog) owners know full well how much this is Truth in Television.
  • 4chan totally did not do anything with this trope: [1]
  • In the first season of Brazilian webseries "Só Levando", posted at [2] [dead link], a man named Bezerra was making pirate CDs until the police caught him. He claimed it was for personal use.

Officer: CDs da Vainessa Camargo?/Vainessa Camargo CDs?
Bezerra: Eu gosto./I like.
Officer: 120 cópias?/120 copies?
Bezerra: Gosto muito./I like it so much.
