A character has some specific tell, often a particular tic which gives them away when they lie. Of course, another character is bound to pick up on this.
The Trope Namer, of course, is Pinocchio, whose nose grew whenever he lied.
The first step to becoming a Consummate Liar is to make sure you don't have any of these. These are impossible to hide from a Living Lie Detector. This is how You Can Always Tell a Liar. If the signal is really obvious, the character effectively (though not technically) Cannot Tell a Lie.
See also The Tell for characters with a tell that points to their emotional state rather than their honesty.
Not to be confused with a Gag Nose (except of course that Pinocchio's own nose is an example of both tropes). Nor with "turning into a tengu" (a Visual Gag of a character's nose growing when they act arrogant).

An episode of F/X: The Series has a cold opening in a courtroom, with a character having issues with his nose, which soon starts growing as he speaks. After the shot is over, it's revealed to be an inflatable prop nose.

In Pinocchio (1992), there is a Played for Laughs evocation. When Geppetto asks his puppet if he would be a good boy, it seems to move his head to say yes, and then his nose grows. A played straight example happens later when Pinocchio lies to the Fairy about the coins. Time later, when Pinocchio is asked to help, his nose grows proving that he didn't have the intention to do so, but later he genuinely changes his mind.

One episode of Hello Kitty Fairy Tale Fantasynote Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater in the U.S. retells the Pinocchio story, with the same results when Pinocchio lies. There's an additional twist, however—when the fairy says she's helped Pinocchio too many times, and she's not going to bail him out anymore, her nose grows.
A similar thing happens to Catnip's character in the same episode, except it's her tail instead of her nose.

There was a whole Coupling ramble on this — The Prickles, where you freeze and can feel said prickles all over your face ready to burst into rampant blushing; the Blurts, where you try to cover your prickles by blurting out denials; and the Head laugh, where you realize you were speaking too quickly and need to make everything seem alright and overcompensate with the Head Laugh.

This bites Pinocchio in the ass in Shrek the Third when he comes under interrogation from a villain and obviously can't successfully lie to him because his nose will give him away. Pinocchio gets around this by making a statement so completely confusing that even he doesn't know what he's saying.

The whole point to the show Lie to Me is that the main cast has been trained to search for these when suspects in crimes are being interrogated. More specifically, Lightman actually claims in one episode that his tell is that he rubs his forehead while lying. (This was a setup for him to point out another character's, which was twisting her hands.) It's unclear whether he was actually telling the truth about that.

The Simpsons:
In the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", Homer's eye shifts back and forth whenever he lies. Later, Bart does the same thing. This actually goes back further, in "The Sweetest Apu", when he sees Apu having an affair, and tries to keep it a secret. Marge is able to tell what he saw just by reading said twitching.
In "Itchy & Scratchy Land", there is a clip of an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon called Pinitchio, with Itchy as the role of Pinocchio. He promises to Scratchy (who is playing Geppetto) that he will never hurt him, using his nose to stab Scratchy in the eye.

She says it's because D.J. looked her in the eyes when she said she wasn't drinking, where as when she lies, she looks at the top of her head.

In the Shrek franchise:
Played for laughs in Shrek 2 where Pinocchio actually appears. Shrek tells him to lie on purpose so they can use his nose like a hook to reach a key, but he can't think of one at the moment. Donkey tells him to say he's wearing women's underwear, but that doesn't work (because he is) Fortunately when he denies that he is, that's a lie, so he's able to hook the key.
This bites Pinocchio in the ass in Shrek the Third when he comes under interrogation from a villain and obviously can't successfully lie to him because his nose will give him away. Pinocchio gets around this by making a statement so completely confusing that even he doesn't know what he's saying.

Pinocchio himself appears in a Sesame Street skit where Kermit—in his reporter outfit—asks him to demonstrate his "talent".

In Chrono Crusade, Chrono realizes something's wrong when Rosette is blackmailed by the villain to go off by herself and follows her. When she asks how he knew something was wrong, he responds "When you lie, you start babbling. I've seen you do it for four years. I know at least that much about you."
Interestingly enough, this trope comes into play subtly again towards the end of the manga. When Chrono is trying to hide an ally's death that he can sense in another room, he closes his eyes and forces himself to smile, while babbling to Rosette about how they can celebrate their victory every year together (while she questions him about what's wrong). Eight chapters later, he once again closes his eyes and has a strained smile on his face when he tricks Rosette into taking his hand so he can temporarily "stop" her time and rush off to fight Aion alone.

In Knives Out, Marta compulsively vomits whenever she lies. Even by omission. Given that she's a character in a murder mystery, she is not having a good time for most of the movie.

Played for laughs in Shrek 2 where Pinocchio actually appears. Shrek tells him to lie on purpose so they can use his nose like a hook to reach a key, but he can't think of one at the moment. Donkey tells him to say he's wearing women's underwear, but that doesn't work (because he is) Fortunately when he denies that he is, that's a lie, so he's able to hook the key.

Usopp lies many times throughout the series. Also, throughout the series, his nose gradually grows longer, but it's normally ignored in the show.
Luffy is a terrible liar. If he tries to lie, he looks away from who he's talking to, sweats profusely, and barely opens his mouth as if he'd let the truth out if he did.

When Gonzo tells the truth that nobody stole the book and that he lost it, his nose shrinks back to its normal size. At the end of the episode, when Animal eats Gonzo's apple slices and blames it on Buddy, his nose grows.

This Bites!: During the story's iteration of the G8 arc, Usopp has to pretend to be a new recruit when interrogated by a suspicious senior officer (and he's helped by Cross and Soundbite feeding him the necessary answers to not give himself away). The officer looks convinced, and Usopp starts to relax and look more confident...only for Cross to warn him that what'll tip the Marines off is his habit of getting arrogant if he thinks anyone's fallen for his lies, and that being scared of the officer is the appropriate response to have at that moment. Hearing that, Usopp doesn't need to fake the nervousness when the officer turns to talk to him again.

In the series finale "Endgame", Reginald Barclay has managed to overcome his stuttering by the early 25th century, but when he gets pressed for information of Admiral Janeway's whereabouts by the Doctor, Barclay begins to stammer, which is an indicator that he is hiding something.
In another episode, Chakotay tells Janeway that he can always tell when she's lying because she touches her commbadge when she does. Of course, she's touching it at that moment. (However, if it's a habit of hers, it's one we never see on the TV screen either before or after this incident.)

When the genie later surmises that he'll understandably be using his third wish to undo his first, the guy defensively refutes this, claiming that everyone loves his Pinocchio nipples and he gets a ton of compliments on them... which causes them to grow.

An interesting variant in The Smurfs (1981): in "Tattle-Tail Smurfs", Brainy puts a spell on the Smurflings that causes their tails to grow whenever they tattle-tale.

In Frasier, Frasier and Niles each have some negative physical consequences when they lie or otherwise violate their code of ethics: Frasier suffers stomach pains and Niles gets nose bleeds.

In Kingdom Hearts, it's been noted that whenever Axel lies or is unsure of what he's saying he breaks eye-contact.
Disney's adaptation of the Trope Namer appears in the first game as well, to absolutely hilarious effect. Pinocchio, afraid he's going to die, tells Jiminy "I'm not gonna make it..." and his nose grows. "Oh! I guess I'm okay!"

The NSFW webcomic Black Hole (2019) had an arc that featured a puppet brought to life with a problem like this, except instead of her nose growing, her breasts grew with every lie.

Pokémon: The Original Series
When Ash brags about his victories and badges he's won in "Path to the Pokémon League", his nose grows longer because he had barely won any battles and had only two badges at that point. However, it's not a reference to Pinocchio, but rather a y�kai called Tengu, whose long nose signifies arrogance rather than a lie (as what Ash says is technically true).
James gets a Tengu nose in "A Way Off Day Off" when he starts boasting about his "foolproof" plan to steal the protagonists' Pokémon.

In Robert Sawyer's Quintaglio Ascension Trilogy, the titular tyrannosaurian race literally turned blue in the face if they tried to tell a lie. Most of them, anyway.

Invoked in Action Comics #257: "The Three Wishes". As posing as a fairy to teach a school bully a lesson, Supergirl uses a piece of yeast dough and her heat vision to make everyone believe the kid's nose grows whenever he lies.

Parodied in the Dexter's Laboratory episode, “Dee Dee Locks and the Ness Monster�: Dee Dee Locks makes her ears grow big when she tells a lie, but only intentionally so she can use them to fly. In the context of the Fractured Fairy Tale the real Dee Dee is telling, this comes completely out of nowhere.
