** Victor the obvious spy claims to be plumber -- even when he's caught installing a camera on the ceiling, he claims it's a strange toilet. In a later story, when he's caught having been hiding in the Doctor's office for ages and taking part in specific political intrigue that he's confessed to, he still presents a plumbing bill.

** Haley has a Bluff Skill that is ridiculously high, letting her get away with almost anything.
** Turned UpToEleven in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0767.html this strip]] thanks to a potion of glibness. This is consistent with D&D 3.5 rules - If your Bluff check beats your opponent's Sense Motive by 20 or more, you can get them to believe things that are ''actually impossible.'' Glibness adds ''30'' to your Bluff check.

* In ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'', during the Hide and Seek test, Hansung Yu's claim that the two teams are divided equally is so implausible that even he looks incredulous when Yuga agrees with it.

** Redcloak, upon [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0149.html being told]] he could become Supreme Leader of the hobgoblins by killing the current leader in single combat, promptly cast "Slay Living" on the hobgoblin putting him through the humiliating rituals to become an honorary hobgoblin.

* {{Subverted}} in an ''WebComic/{{Oglaf}}'' strip "Skills" (which is NSFW, but only just by ''Oglaf'' standards), a woman claims a number of absurd things are because her phenomenal sex skills are driving people crazy. In the end, some evidence is shown this is actually the case, contrary to how it seemed.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', Rumisiel's presence is explained as being Ash's Canadian exchange student live-in boyfriend. Since the story takes place in Massachusetts, this is regarded as being a little implausible to say the least.

[[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070927 toward]] [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070929 the]] [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20071002 end]], when he alternates between telling [[spoiler:Psmith]] one thing and [[spoiler:Der Rock]] the precise opposite, ''[[MagnificentBastard in front of them both]]''.

* ManipulativeBastard Adam Terrence from ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' is an expert at this. See [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/124 this strip]].

* In ''Webcomic/RedsPlanet'', [[http://www.redsplanet.com/comic/rp/ch04/chapter-four-01/ the exhausted Red urges her companion to tell her if it's too much, and then finally insists on a rest -- for his sake, she says.]]

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** When the entire company is on trial due to a job they did in UNS space.

'''Bala-Amin:''' Most of those "training" with you aren't UNS personnel.\\

'''Landon:''' I'm learning a lot about working with other people.
* In ''Webcomic/LuminaryChildren'', Lyzza's ability is to make people believe whatever she says, which of course leads to the most absurd lies.

** Subverted with an AltText in "AWOL MD" that claims a bunch of kids' heads that exploded will grow back later. It sounds like a blatant lie, but they do.
* In ''Webcomic/OperationReboot'', Shae feeds a story to her mother that is completely absurd (though much less so than her brother's). Hilariously, her mother buys it anyway.
* ''Webcomic/{{Guttersnipe}}'' features [[http://www.guttersnipecomic.com/?p=128 this rather impressive case]]:

* In ''Webcomic/M9Girls'', when Vero is caught snooping into the Professor's lab, her impromptu alibi is quite unconvincing.

--->'''Dr. Upton:''' There is something desperately wrong with that sentence, but I'm too tired to care. Remind me in the future never to talk to you until after I've had my coffee.
--->'''Rumisiel:''' The Emperor of Canada once told me the same thing.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':

'''Warmech''': BEHOLD MY HUMAN LASER!\\
''[later]''\\
'''Warmech''': I HAVE NO LASERS AND WILL LASER TO DEATH ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE.

Everything works out just fine, and they're still roommates.]]

* ManipulativeBastard Adam Terrence from ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' is an expert at this. See [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/124 this strip]].
* Dillon's agent in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', attempting to explain away the fact that he's in a TransparentCloset. And the best part? Not only does the agent seem to believe it himself, but ''Dillon'' thinks it's credible because Oprah presumably said it.
-->'''Dillon''': You know...it's none of my business...but someday you will have to tell your wife you're gay.\\
'''Dillon's Agent''': Ho-ho-ho! Don't be silly! I'm not gay! That's why I have you wear the wig!\\

'''Dillon's Agent''': Dilly...straight married men have secret gay sex ''all the time''!\\
'''Dillon''': That sounds made up.\\

** From the same universe, this was how Lavali of ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'' tried to stay in her extremely TransparentCloset every time her parents and/or brother would catch her in a compromising position with a girl.
