'''Basic Trope''': A person simply cannot tell the truth.
* '''Straight''': [[SmugSnake Eugene]] the [[SnakesAreSinister Snake]] is a [[LiteralMetaphor forked-tongued]] ManipulativeBastard who is compelled to lie even when no one asks. One day, out of nowhere, Eugene began spreading MaliciousSlander around Alice's name, [[ForTheEvulz for no identifiable reason]], who proceeds to file a defamation lawsuit against him.
* '''Exaggerated''': Eugene [[StupidEvil lies unabashedly to the judge and jury]], and continues to do so as he's having his ass hauled off to prison, [[BullyingADragon lying to the prison guards and the inmates]] and sowing as much chaos as possible.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Eugene may be a lying bastard, but [[PragmaticVillainy knows when to shut his mouth]] when lying really isn't advisable.
** Or, Eugene doesn't lie, per se, but rather [[SelfServingMemory twists the whole truth into something that benefits him and/or hurts someone else]], or abuses [[MetaphoricallyTrue metaphorical truths]] and ExactWords.
* '''Justified''':
** Eugene is a {{Narcissist}} or [[TheSociopath a psychopath]], and is thus predisposed towards pathological lying.
** Eugene is forced to repeatedly tell lies by a MagicallyBindingContract he [[DealWithTheDevil signed with the devil]], or because [[ForcedIntoEvil he is being held under extreme duress]] or because [[TrappedInVillainy his beloved is being threated with death]] [[YouHaveFailedMe should be fail his tasks]].
** Eugene truly believes that he is telling the truth.
** Eugene is MadeOfEvil and either [[EvilCannotComprehendGood cannot comprehend]] the truth, or is [[GoodHurtsEvil hurt by the truth]].
** [[ConsummateLiar Eugene]] never found a reason ''not'' to lie, because EvilPaysBetter and [[KarmaHoudini no-one has ever punished him for it]].
** Eugene is a [[KnightsAndKnaves Knave]].
** EvilIsPetty
* '''Inverted''': Eugene is under the influence of a TruthSerum, speaks the LanguageOfTruth, or simply CannotTellALie.

Yet, when he's captured an [[EnhancedInterrogationTechniques interrogated]], it turns out he was being forced to destroy her reputation on the behalf of her UnknownRival.
* '''Double Subverted''': Eugene is a compulsive liar. [[MadeOfIron Did you think that pain would make him squeal]]?
* '''Parodied''':
** Eugene stands before an audience of primary-school aged children and [[BlatantLies states that the sky is brown]].
** [[CardCarryingVillain Eugene]] basically admits that he always lies. [[LogicBomb Wait a minute]]...
* '''Zig-Zagged''': [[PragmaticVillainy Eugene lies whenever it benefits him, and tells the truth whenever it benefits him]].
* '''Averted''': Eugene rarely, if ever, lies.
* '''Enforced''': A HateSink like Eugene should exist to [[AnAesop illustrate the values of honesty]].

'''Eugene:''' "[[IAmTheNoun I]] ''[[IAmTheNoun am]]'' [[IAmTheNoun the truth]]!"\\
'''Alice:''' "[[YouAreWhatYouHate Then you cannot handle yourself]]."
* '''Conversed''': "What is it with these people, it's almost as though they'll come over with the Black Death if they speak the truth."
* '''Implied''': No one seems to consider Eugene's words with any credence.
* '''Deconstructed''': Eugene has spoken far too many lies, [[CryingWolf cried wolf too many times]], given far too many points of poor advice, and now [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty the hens have come home to roost]]. Everyone he has ever wronged is now chasing him down to enact justice, and [[TheAtoner even if he tried to atone for his actions]] by telling the truth, [[TheCassandra no one would believe him]] because [[HeelFaceDoorSlam he already destroyed his reputation long ago]].
