Kids are dumb - this is one of the most well-known facts about humanity. Kids are stupid, and usually pretty desperate for attention - which leads to a lot of kids making up extremely dumb, wildly unbelievable lies. And while some kids keep it fairly simple (the classic "my uncle works for Nintendo"), other kids take it a bit further - which is why internet comedy man David Thorpe polled Twitter to see what the BEST and most ridiculous lies were:
Ok, tell me about the kid you knew as a kid who lied a lot. Hit me with their greatest lie.

The responses were so stupidly great, we had to comb through and list out 12 of our favorites. Because - c'mon - that Coolio one...

I knew a guy in high school who claimed he was friends with Larry the cable guy. when we told him to prove it he printed out an extremely pixelated B&W photo and signed it "Larry" in his own handwriting

Said he wrote "Gangsta's Paradise" but dropped it and Coolio found it. Presumably while one of them was on holiday, given that we lived in a small village in the west of Scotland.

My friend thought "Jungle 2 Jungle" was "Jungle Jungle 2" and when I corrected him he was so embarrassed he lied and stuck to his guns and said he owned a movie called "Jungle Jungle 1" and made up the plot and everything. I asked to borrow it but he said he couldn't find it

Dude used to get winded on his bike and pretend he was having PTSD flashbacks to when he got abducted by aliens instead of admitting he needed to catch his breath. Said like "I can't go on... Over there is where the Greys took me."

Of course, every now and then - you find out the person you thought was a stupid idiot liar winds up surprising you...
In 3rd grade, this girl Stephanie told everyone her "new dad" ran a Crayon factory. Went on about it all year. No one believed her. On the last day of school, new dad showed up and gave everyone a set of 100 Prang crayons in a carrying case. Because he ran a crayon factory.
