The phrase comes from a rant by Ghiraldelli, who repeats 'it's a lie' three times with growing intensity, turning a simple denial into a memorable catchphrase. Shared widely as a short audio clip, it found a second life in Portuguese-speaking meme culture, where it is dropped into videos, streams and group chats whenever someone wants to reject a statement outright. Its appeal is the exaggerated certainty of the delivery, which makes a serious accusation feel funny and shareable, keeping it in use long after the original rant circulated.
About this sound
A Portuguese voice clip of Ghiraldelli repeatedly shouting that something is a lie, used in reaction videos and memes to deny a claim or expose fake news.
This clip is a loud, insistent Portuguese voice repeating the phrase 'it's a lie' three times, each repetition landing harder than the last as the speaker's tone rises in frustration and disbelief. It sounds like someone caught in the middle of an argument, refusing to accept what they have just heard and pushing back with conviction. The delivery is theatrical and urgent, with sharp emphasis on every word, which makes it instantly recognisable even to listeners who do not speak Portuguese. Dropped into a video, it turns a doubtful moment into a dramatic denial, giving the audience a clear signal that the claim on screen should not be believed.
