Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': An initially small lie becomes bigger and bigger.
* '''Straight''': Bob states he has a GirlfriendInCanada named Alice, and wanted to end the lie there, only to make the lie bigger by stating he's planning "visits" to her, faking photos, identity...
* '''Exaggerated''': The above, but he ''also'' fakes their engagement, marriage, fighting, divorce, and finding a ''new'' [[HereWeGoAgain girlfriend in Ireland]].
* '''Downplayed''': Bob states he has a GirlfriendInCanada; he fakes a few "visits", but not much else.
* '''Justified''': [[EveryoneKnewAlready Bob's friends are all aware that "Alice" is fake]], but want to see how far he'll take the lie.
* '''Inverted''': An initially big lie becomes smaller and smaller (a Reverse Snowball Lie?).
* '''Subverted''': Bob eventually confesses that Alice is fake.
* '''Double Subverted''': But states he ''does'' have a real girlfriend in Ireland.
* '''Parodied''': Bob is a BadLiar, so his attempts just end up hiding nothing.
