Sure, Jan. 

A sentence used to sarcastically dismiss another person's obviously fictitious story.

It originated in the 1995 movie "The Brady Bunch", a parody take on the TV series of the same name.

In one of the earlier scenes of the movie, Jan, one of the Brady children, wants to impress her family and makes up an obviously completely made-up story about having started dating a boy named George Glass at her school, every time someone in her family inquires about this boy, she keeps piling on the lies up until her older sister Marcia ends the conversation with a curt "Sure, Jan." faking agreement but clearly being so done with Jan's crap.
