The 'So That Was a Fucking Lie' meme originates from a 2012 episode of the reality TV show 'Loiter Squad,' featuring Tyler, the Creator during a parody sketch of the talk show Maury. The scene captures Tyler expressing blunt disbelief and frustration toward a guest's false claim, providing the internet with the perfect reaction image for any situation involving blatant dishonesty. It gained massive popularity across Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr as a versatile way to mock false advertising, broken political promises, or everyday social deceptions. The meme’s impact lies in its raw, unfiltered expression of feeling cheated, making it a staple in digital culture for calling out hypocrisy in a humorous yet biting way.
