About

"You Sit On A Throne Of Lies" is a memorable quote uttered by Buddy The Elf (played by Will Ferrell), the protagonist of the 2003 holiday family-comedy film Elf. On the web, the phrase is typically used to expose a lie or otherwise misleading statement told by someone else.

Origin

In the film, Buddy is disturbed to discover that a mall Santa Claus is actually just a man dressed in a costume. Believing that the man is trying to impersonate the Santa Claus he knows, Buddy reacts with disgust, whispering to the man "you sit on a throne of lies" (shown below).



On June 1st, 2005, YTMND user Cryokenetic submitted a picture of Buddy paired with audio of the "You sit on a throne of lies" clip.[1][2] Within the next eight years, the page received over 220,000 views, 170 comments and the audio clip was subsequently used on over 30 similar YTMNDs.[3][4]
