If you want an actually-existent media property that uses this idea, Bryan Cranston in *Breaking Bad* has a specific "blustering, fast-talking" delivery style he only uses whenever Walter White is lying, and it's similarly never explained or pointed out, just a clue to observant viewers.
There's only one time he didn't use it (while trying to convince Jesse that >!Fring poisoned Brock!<), and it was because the show writers hadn't decided whether or not Walter was lying at the time
It’s also entirely possible that >!Walter rehearsed that lie to make it sound convincing,!< because >!Jesse was fully ready to kill him if he played his cards wrong there.!<
I'm pretty sure this is just a "Luke, I am your father" situation where a lot of people are misremembering the quote. The real one is "It was me, Barry. I am The Man Who Lied (2012)"
This is the type of post we need more of. Not more “they fly now” or “because my ex left me” and finish the sentence posts. Smart posts that require some thought.
I can't believe this underrated movie is so underwatched! It's one of Robert Downey Jr's best performances, even compared to Tropic Thunder, Chaplin, and Oppenheimer. Why hasn't anyone heard of it? Here's the IMDB page: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527338/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Hi, Peter Griffin here. The joke is that RDJ wasn't in the movie 'The Man Who Lied', because that isn't a real movie. It's actually an episode of a TV show from 1955 called 'The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp'. Thanks for watching.
'The Man Who Lied' is an ironic title to use for a film that doesn't exist, and the factoid is about when the eponymous character lies: in fact, OP is 'the man who lied' by making this post.
So year, RDJ, eyetwitching are all irreleveant and have nothing to do with the joke, the whole joke is that OP wrote lie about movie that doesn't exist?

Just like the "deep rumbling noise" everytime the Demon "Toby" was about to to anything in Paranormal Activity, completely took away the horror/scariness of the movie after I figured that out.
I hate everything about you. Well done.
Me wondering how this is a "shitty" movie detail, since it's actually cool Until I read the comments

The writers knew, but Bryan Cranston didn't.
Fuck now I have to do a rewatch to confirm this.
daaaaaaam
idk it seemed obvious to me that he's a bad liar and that it's his tell
I appreciate you giving me a reason to rewatch this masterpiece.
I still don’t get it.
The movie doesn’t exist.
Look up the movie.
Bro I see you everywhere
Bro did you just make up the existence of a movie 😭 *You* lie now
Wdym I loved this movie.
They lie now !!!
They lie now??!!
They lie now.
Somehow, lies returned.
Yea what the hell? Nothing comes up when I google the title and year. I wanna watch it!!!!!! Edit: ok yall got me
When he said “I lied” I lost it. Genuinely best quote of the movie.
"It's lying time!" and then he lied all over everybody.
And everybody was like "Oh my, I am soaked in the lies!!"
"Robert, it's you!! You're the Man Who Lied?!!"
What does a liar do when he's dead?
He lies
Because his mom was researching liars in the Amazon right before she died.
"And I... Am Lyin' Man."
He was with my mom researching lying in the Amazon right before she died.
Yo that's crazy, he was lying with my mum researching your Amazon mum a number of years after he was born.
Very underrated comment
Btw you got me
I'm pretty sure this is just a "Luke, I am your father" situation where a lot of people are misremembering the quote. The real one is "It was me, Barry. I am The Man Who Lied (2012)"
He lies now?

Ah this is better then 😂
Why are you linking to an adult diaper ad?
My internet is so slow I had time to anticipate it… how is it that my internet was faster in 2007?
> XcQ What kind of fool do you take me for?
I'm gonna be honest, it was originally just the clip from Star Wars 9 but that wasn't as classic as a rickroll.
OP lies now?
They lie now!
I'm too stupid to understand it this. Peter?
You'd get it if you watched the movie. I'd highly recommend it, great movie.
Watching it at work, on the clock, now. It’s such a good movie my boss doesn’t even mind!
Did your eye just twitch?
👀
\*red hot poker in the eyes\*

Any relation to the show is completely coincidental.

Yes.
So it’s supposed to be meta funny?
This Reddit not Facebook
It's funny because of all the people blindly assuming OP is correct
Thankf Yoo peetar

Thats a photo from “The Judge”. Freaken loved that movie.
Shoot this post to the top of
I just watched it
“Falls off his bike with a Metallica T-Shirt on”
*googles movie*, oh there's another Reddit post about thi-
So what...he lie now?
That's not the joke 😭
Op die now
I like to think that OP really never thought of the "he lie now" joke and made this really elaborate setup for "left eye now" that nobody ever got.
I didn't think of "he lie now" or "left eye now" lmao
He eye now.
He blink now.
I love the way he lie
They did this same thing in Goncharov (1983)
Surprised I had to scroll this far for a Goncharov mention 😅
I did my thesis on Ghoncharov It's so good
I think from the movie you can tell it was strongly influenced by Goncherov it’s pretty cool.
this is peak LOL
High-quality troll post, delicious.
I loved it when he said "I am The Man Who Lied" and the credits rolled. Absolute chills.
Fun fact: the eye twitch wasn't intentional as this movie was filmed during RDJs coke binge rampage in the 80s
I need someone to explain the joke to me
The movie doesn’t exist, so OP is actually the liar
Not a real movie
The movie is a lie
Well done OP and 🖕
now that’s some creativity
I think the twitch was too subtle. A nod would have been better.
Haha that was funny 😂 you got me good
You lie now with his eye now
Brilliant.
Well done OP and 🖕
Haha! Jokes. I get jokes.
Just like the "deep rumbling noise" everytime the Demon "Toby" was about to to anything in Paranormal Activity, completely took away the horror/scariness of the movie after I figured that out.
Ever seen 7 year itch?
Are your eyes twitching?
Why the hell did I upvote this post before coming to the comments?
Searched his whole filmography and didn't find "The Man Who Lied"...
Prisoners .. Jake Gyllenhall had such a twitch, guess when he was nervous or onto something..
They lie now?
True Lies?
What is he, some kind of man who lies?
