History Main / LiarRevealed

'''[[spoiler: Andrias]]:''' Well, I guess that's what you get for pouring your heart out to me over [[VariantChess Flipwart.]]\\

* In ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'', Lila Rossi is a CompulsiveLiar who dodges all consequences for her actions. Therefore, it is a ''very'' common FandomSpecificPlot for her to finally finally be revealed.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and its spin-off ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' are both guilty of overusing this trope, so much so it might as well fit as a Drinking Game entry. A lot of episodes involve one or more characters doing something contentious, and once the gig is up, they have no choice but to admit.

* The show ''WesternAnimation/{{Danny Phantom}}'' has this trope seen briefly in the season two episode, "Reality Trip", where Freak Show reveals to everyone that Danny Fenton is the ghost hero Phantom. His parents are confused as to why he would hide this from them, and are shocked when they discover that Jazz was fully aware of this ([[SecretSecretKeeper though she admits Danny never actually told her either]]), questioning why he'd something so important from his own family. Jazz immediately points out that they are ghost hunters and researchers that constantly talk about wanting to destroy the undead spirits "molecule by molecule."

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'':

** Bobby is abducted by Hoffman and put through a trial previously planned by Jigsaw because he made up a story about surviving a Jigsaw trap to [[OnlyInItForTheMoney gain money and fame]]. After a trap of his own, Bobby is confronted with several tests in which he has to save his relevant staff and loved ones, including his best friend and wife. In the test with his wife, Joyce, he's forced to confess the truth to her (since she wasn't aware of what his false story was about), and is forced, as an ironic shout to him, to try and recreate the trap he made up to hit a switch that will save Joyce from the trap she's in. While he survives, he [[spoiler:fails to save everyone else in the trial]], and it's likely that he was publicly exposed as a liar afterwards.

* In ''Film/Saw3D'', the protagonist is tested by Jigsaw because he never was actually put in a trap by Jigsaw but has lied to the world saying he was in a trap where he had to put hooks in his pectoral muscles and climb up to a light to deactivate a switch to escape. Since Jigsaw [[spoiler: and Hoffman]] don't particularly like him lying like that to get fame and fortune (he even got a wife who WAS a Jigsaw victim). He then has several traps aimed around everyone who helped him lie including his best friend, his publicist, and his lawyer all in traps that he has to save them from, [[spoiler: which he fails them all]]. He then finds his wife, where he is forced to confess he never was tested by Jigsaw before this point, and Jigsaw forces him, as an ironic shout to him, to try and recreate the trap he made up to hit a switch that will save his wife from a Brazen Bull. [[spoiler: he fails this as well and she burns to death]]. The whole movie is basically built on the Liar Revealed trope, showing disastrous outcomes when in a horror film.
** The first scene that is unrelated to the rest of the film where Brad and Ryan are bound to a double-bladed bandsaw and Dina is above the third blade jutting upwards is all a part of this as well. At first both men try to kill the other by pushing the blade into the other one in order to save themselves and Dina... until Dina essentially reveals that she's been playing both of them for money and comfort at the same time, thus cheating on both of them. Brad and Ryan decide to spare one another, resulting in Dina's death.

* ''FanFic/LadyBugOut'': Lila unintentionally exposes herself as a liar to her classmates in ''The Interview Ruse'' when she attempts to [[PlayingTheVictimCard play the victim]] and accuse Marinette and Ladybug of arranging that interview to try and humiliate her. Ivan [[SpottingTheThread points out]] that Marinette didn't ''know'' that Lila had been claiming to be involved with the blog, and her attempts to talk her way out of this only succeed in upsetting them even more. Only Alya stands by her, due to Lila claiming to have fallen out with Ladybug due to staying loyal to Alya and her Ladyblog.
** Alya later realizes just how much of a habitual liar Lila is when she claims to have [[spoiler:been Rena Rouge -- ''Alya's'' former heroic identity]].
* Kicks off the plot of ''FanFic/BurnTheWitchMiraculousLadybug''. After the events of "Chameleon", Marinette ''wanted'' to expose [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]], but Adrien convinced her to stop by reasoning that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard her lies would catch up to her eventually]] without their involvement. While he's ''technically'' correct, the story [[DeconstructionFic deconstructs this]]: Sure, Lila's lies caught up to her... but only after she'd done so much damage that the latest [[VillainOfTheWeek Akumatized villain]] is Witch Hunter, who wants to outright ''burn Lila at the stake'' for her crimes. And her many cruel actions have made most of the main characters susceptible to Witch Hunter's MoreThanMindControl that convinces them that burning Lila alive is the ''right'' thing to do.
* The first act of “Fanfic/TellingLiesNoMama”. Lila’s stories and claims are brought into question by Chloé and Alya after she tries to frame Marinette for assaulting her. They poke holes in her stories and question how much water [[CelebrityLie her claims of friendship with various celebrities]] hold. But the final nail on the coffin is [[spoiler: her own mother, who shows up at school in a rage, having seen the interviews with Lila on the Ladyblog and being furious at her daughter for spreading lies and making her parents look bad. She yells at Lila in front of the whole class, tearing apart all her lies and scolding her for letting them be posted on a public blog, jeopardizing her parents’ jobs and reputations]].

** Another episode has a subversion similar to the ''Fairly Odd Parents'' example above. Mr. Krabs invites his old Navy buddies to a reunion at the Krusty Krab but moults his shell just beforehand. Too embarrassed to attend without it, as his tough shell was his most famous trait, he has Spongebob wear his discarded shell and pretend to be him. When the ruse is eventually rumbled, Krabs appears and reveals the truth - at which point his Navy buddies admit they've also been lying about their traits (for example, one who had a torpedo embedded in his stomach has since had it removed).

* The show ''WesternAnimation/{{DannyPhantom}}'' has this trope seen briefly in the season two episode, "Reality Trip", where Freak Show reveals to everyone that Danny Fenton is the ghost hero Phantom. His parents are confused as to why he would hide this from them, and are shocked when they discover that Jazz was fully aware of this ([[SecretSecretKeeper though she admits Danny never actually told her either]]), questioning why he'd something so important from his own family. Jazz immediately points out that they are ghost hunters and researchers that constantly talk about wanting to destroy the undead spirits "molecule by molecule."

* In ''WesternAnimation/BackToTheOutback'', after being pressured several times into chasing after the protagonists after it is discovered they escaped the zoo, [[spoiler: Chaz]] reveals to [[spoiler: his son]] that [[spoiler: he's not actually a badass wildlife expert and only wanted to do that stuff because he saw someone else doing it on TV.]]

%%** It's used twice in the fourth movie/series finale, "Phantom Planet", as both Vlad's and Danny's identities are made public.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'':
** This trope is seen briefly in the third movie, "Reality Trip", when Freak Show reveals to Danny's family he's Phantom. As Jazz points it, the reason he did so was all the times they vowed to tear him apart out of bigotry for ghosts.

** Tragically played straight in "The Secrets of Castle [=McDuck=]!", where Dewey is forced to confess that he had been searching for [[spoiler: the triplet's mother]] since the start of the series, having left them out of the loop specifically because he didn't want to get their hopes up. Huey and especially Louie are utterly devastated that their brother would keep such a secret from them.
** "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!" subverts this when Donald reunites with his old college band, ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros''. Both Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles are filthy rich, whereas Donald is merely a squatter at his uncle's mansion (what with him being BornUnlucky and all). So, he convinces a reluctant Scrooge to act as if HE's the owner of [=McDuck=] Enterprises for a time, but he eventually fesses up that he's flat broke. The others are initially prepared to goad him over this...[[spoiler: until it's revealed they too are still losers, with Jose being stuck as a flight attendant and Panchito playing at children's birthday parties (and not very successfully it seems). The three then quickly realize they're still very much the same kids from college.]]
