The Maury meme is based on the long-running American tabloid talk show 'Maury,' hosted by Maury Povich. The show became legendary on the internet for its high-stakes reveals regarding paternity tests and lie detector results, often accompanied by dramatic reactions from the guests. The most popular variation involves the catchphrase 'The lie detector test determined... that was a lie,' used to call out hypocrisy or obvious falsehoods in everyday life. Another iconic version features Maury announcing, 'You are NOT the father!' followed by a guest's celebratory 'not-the-father dance.' These templates are widely used to highlight social media lies, relationship drama, or any situation where someone is caught in a blatant contradiction.
