Pulling a Melville

A red herring that is so absurd as to alert the listener that the speaker is telling a lie. Oftentimes the lie is told when telling the truth would be simple but slightly uncomfortable.

Friend 1: Are we still on for coffee?
Friend 2: No, there is something I have to tell you.
Friend 1: What is it?
Friend 2: I have cancer...
Friend 1: Are you pulling a Melville?

Boyfriend: There is something I need to tell you.
Girlfiend: What?
Boyfriend: I am sexually attracted to men.
Girlfriend: Are you pulling a Melville, we can just break up you know?

Pulling a Brando

When you are in a heated fire fight in Apex Legends with another team and your teammate takes off out of fear, leaving you to fend them off by yourself. Then when confronting the teammate about what occured, he will not acknowledge that what he did was wrong and will then proceed to put the blame on you.

Oh come on, I need your help over here! Why are you Pulling a Brando? I'm about to die!

Oh Steven, this is the worst time to be pulling a Brando! Were down to the last squads!
