| - I Lied is a malicious blue face with the appearance is a stickman with a giant head, blue or dark blue, and a few wrinkles. The mischievous face shows by appearance: tiny eyes with small eyebrows in an angry form, a mustache splitted into 2 halves, and a giant grin with teeth most likely showing but some black is seen in the center.
- Stock Phrase uttered in response to You Said You Would Let Them Go or a similar expression of shock at a broken promise of lenience or forgiveness. Spoken by the villain (or a particularly unmerciful hero) just before killing the hostage, blowing up the Doomed Hometown, using the Doomsday Device, or some other act of merciless badness. Sometimes spoken just after, with a smirk and a smoking gun. For some reason, this often seems to take the heroes by surprise, even when the speaker has an extensive history of villainy. This is most likely because, as we all know, Villains Never Lie.

- Stock Phrase uttered in response to You Said You Would Let Them Go or a similar expression of shock at a broken promise of lenience or forgiveness. Spoken by the villain (or a particularly unmerciful hero) just before killing the hostage, blowing up the Doomed Hometown, using the Doomsday Device, or some other act of merciless badness. Sometimes spoken just after, with a smirk and a smoking gun. Generally speaking, anyone who says this is lining up that puppy between the goal posts or even about to perform their defining act of depravity and has, in any case, revealed their cruelest colors. Expect them to rub it in with Evil Gloating, asking the heroes "Did you actually believe me when I said..." For some reason, this often seems to take the heroes by surprise, even when the speaker has an extensive history of villainy. This is most likely because, as we all know, Villains Never Lie. Sometimes used by a former bad guy who's made a Heel Face Turn - made the offer to rejoin Team Evil, they calmly accept, or perhaps pretend to seriously contemplate the offer, shocking any listening heroes, and about three seconds later proceed to kick ass on the side of good, taking everybody by surprise. The bad guy looks up at them and protests, "You said you're on our side!" The former bad guy says, "Yeah. I lied." Usually said with dripping irony, which tends to fall a little flat if the speaker doesn't at least put a new spin on the phrase.
