The line comes from the 2003 independent drama The Room, written, directed by and starring Tommy Wiseau as Johnny. In the scene Johnny angrily denies hitting Lisa, saying he did not do it before a rooftop outburst that became one of the film's most quoted moments. As The Room gained a cult following through midnight screenings and online clips, Wiseau's unusual delivery turned the denial into a standalone meme. It is still used whenever an unconvincing denial needs a dramatic, instantly recognisable punchline.

Tommy Wiseau's dramatic 'it's not true' line from The Room, heard as 'its nawt true,' used for over-the-top denials in memes and reaction videos.
This short clip captures Tommy Wiseau as Johnny in The Room insisting that an accusation is completely false, stretching the denial with his distinctive accent and intense delivery. The phrase sounds less like a calm correction and more like a wounded outburst, with the stressed 'nawt' making it instantly recognisable. That exaggerated sincerity is why it lands as comedy even in serious scenes. Played over footage of someone caught in a lie, it creates instant irony, letting the audience know the denial should not be trusted while making the moment feel melodramatic and absurd.
