The character Buster from the iconic kid's show Arthur once pondered, "You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?". It is a statement and reaction image that has only become more prescient with time because man, people really do come up with some abominable BS to post for clout these days. The internet has always been full of liars, and sometimes it takes a high level of sleuthing to figure them out.

Luckily, there are plenty of individuals on social media who are ready and willing to tell it like it is in relation to false claims and wild statements. The only thing more persistent than liars on the internet are those who are raring to call them out on it, and it can make for some very funny comedowns. If you enjoy nothing more than a dose of justified humiliation, this list is for you.
