Basic Trope: An initially small lie becomes bigger and bigger.
- Straight: Bob states he has a Girlfriend in Canada 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 girlfriend in Ireland.
- Downplayed: Bob states he has a Girlfriend in Canada; he fakes a few "visits", but not much else.
- Justified: 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 Bad Liar, so his attempts just end up hiding nothing.
