Liar Liar is a 1997 American comedy film starring Jim Carrey as Fletcher Reede, a dishonest lawyer who cannot lie for twenty four hours after his son makes a birthday wish. The speeding stop became one of its most quoted scenes because Fletcher's compulsive honesty turns a minor offence into a complete self incrimination. Clips of Carrey's rapid delivery have circulated for years on soundboards and in meme edits, where the scene is reused whenever someone overshares, confesses too much, or gets caught doing exactly what they denied.
