* In the French film ''I've Loved You So Long'', the protagonist has recently been released from jail for murder and has been living with her younger sister as she acclimatises to life outside prison. At a dinner party, one of her sister's friends gets drunk and begins to tease her about her mysterious past, eventually making a game of it, until the protagonist finally snaps and admits that she was in prison... and everyone laughs, and the drunk friend tells her that if she's just going to make stuff up he's not going to play any more. Whilst it's played straight for the most part, her LoveInterest offers a subversion, in that he's actually worked with prisoners and realizes that she's telling the truth.

To which Bell replies, [[CannotTellALie without a hint of sarcasm]], "A Goddess." Sayoko, thinking it's an insult, just gets mad and storms away.
** Though, since Belldandy wasn't actually trying to be sarcastic and was telling the truth because she {{Cannot Tell a Lie}}, it might not qualify as a true sarcastic confession.

It can also be invoked when the character dismisses his/her own behavior this way, e.g. "Wow, those painkillers I just took really work, huh?" or "I was rehearsing for a play."
