Stylizations

The first thirteen episodes of the series parody 1000 Ways to Die by telling the location and date with a border that has the words "Liar", "Deception", "Greed", "Money", "Shame", "Secrets", and "Betray" surrounding a picture of the incident. At the end of each summary, there is another picture of the incident, and the "Way to Lie #" and the nickname for the incident typed over the image in yellow "Sin City" font, mocking the 1000 ways to Die presentation. At the beginning of the episode there is a sped-up voice over that is merely the voice over from 1000 Ways to Die with a few words changed around:

The disclaimer then cuts to animation while the voice-over reads (note: only the ALL CAPPED words are illustrated)
"Everybody lies, and everybody gets lied to...We lie to get ahead, we lie to get the girl, and to keep our secrets. Whether motivated by greed, ego, or criminal intent, just when you think you've heard it all, there are 1000 WAYS TO LIE."
