Show the Dog 

When something/someone is trying to sell or convince you on something but they reveal information that leads to you doubting them or even to a certainty that they won't be able to deliver/are lying. Ultimately, its a sign of being mislead or outright stagnation (while trying to prop it up as progress).

The "dog" is a reference to the Call Of Duty: Ghosts Xbox One Live reveal where they were showing off all the next gen features of their engine. One of the main showcases being the model for an attack dog, as well as the way fish school up and move together. In a first person shooter game.

This phrase was originally coined by DJPeachCobbler in his video titled "Elden Ring feels like the end", specifically starting from 0:52, but you can find evidence of people pointing this out as far back as
If they keep going, They're gonna show the dog.

Man, crazy how Kai Cenat showed the dog when he snuffed Jynxzi
