History Sandbox / LipLockWickCheck

# YMMV.WaynesWorld: OnceOriginalNowOverdone: The kung fu sequence in the second film may seem obvious and old hat today, but it was surprisingly fresh when it debuted; making fun of [[LipLock Lip Lock]] and over-the-top martial arts wasn't really done much before that film.

# YMMV.{{Xenosaga}}: While it has shown its age (and in many ways has some bizarre LipLock made even worse in the first game), this was considered to be a pretty solid dub. Many people preferred the english voices for the amount of Large Ham and even Epcar's Dull Surprise performance of Ziggy (especially in the first episode) even made sense. Special mention to Crispin Freeman as Albedo, who's terrifying portrayal as Albedo made him easily one of the most engaging characters in all of Monolith Soft repertoir, and possibly their best villain up to this point. The English voice of KOS-MOS is also another special mention, due to how Bridget Hoffman managing to deliver impressive robotic monotone voice fitting for an android like her and juggling with her more humane lines in Episode 3.
# Recap.CodenameKidsNextDoorS2E9AOperationREPORT: Naturally happens in Numbuh 4's segment, given what it's parodying.

# Recap.LupinIIIS2E36: An animation error in the Japanese version has Goemon at one point start moving his lips as Lupin is talking, but not say anything. The English dub adds dialogue to create a funny moment. Jigen: But a loon like that, I mean, this treasure could turn out to be a bunch of sumo wrestler bobblehead dolls or a big ball of tinfoil, y'know? Goemon: It's possible. But it's said that among his possessions was a sword, called Tsukikagemaru. Lupin: I have no idea what that means, Jigen- Goemon: I just explained that to you, it's a sword! Lupin: -but it sounds important to him, so whaddya say?
# DubNameChange.EnglishToForeignAlbanianThroughIndonesian: Andy to Anders. Other than being a common Danish boy's name, it is a Scandinavian form of 'Andrew', the name from which 'Andy' is derived from. Bo Peep to Bodil. The nursery rhyme that her name derives from doesn't exist in Danish, so the name 'Bodil' was probably chosen because it's a common Danish girl's name that has the same vowel sounds and amount of syllables as "Bo Peep". Bonnie to Bolette, an uncommon Danish girl's name. Forky to Gafli (from gaffel, which means "fork") Hamm to Basse (a word referring to a chubby person or animal, often used as an Affectionate Nickname in Danish) Hannah to Hanne, a common Danish girl's name and a Danish variation of 'Hannah' Molly to Mette, a common Danish girl's name which is a diminutive form of 'Margaret' Sid to Svend, a common Danish boy's name
# WhoseLine.TropesJToR: Unavoidable in "Film Dub". One particularly glaring example is from the U.K. series, a Chinese martial arts action flick with the scene being a barber shop. Not only did Stephen Frost repeatedly fill the character's remaining lip flaps with "Now then now then now then now then!", but Colin (playing a woman) underestimated the amount of dialog his character had and said, "Yes, why is that? Why? Why why why why why why why? Why is that?"
# YMMV.CrossAnge: The game meanwhile, has a tendency to make the (now fully CGI) cast move more like robots than the ones they're supposed to pilot, with a heavy dose of LipLock to boot.On top of that, the animators seem to have trouble animating breathing. As several characters (this is most noticeable with Hilda) pull this off by simply shrinking and growing the model below the neck and making them bob up and down to achieve the "effect". The hair dynamics in the game seem to be unevenly applied to characters. Some, like Vivian and Naomi, have an obvious swing to their hair whenever they turn. While neither Salia or Hilda's pigtails do. The background art for the game is very visibly all over the place, with some being ripped from the show while others attempt to mimic the style, but wind up looking somewhat off. The endings get it the worst, as it's clear the art department either weren't trying by then or had to rush them out to meet the deadline.
# Recap.FantasyKaleidoscopeE2: Fandubs make it quite noticeable that dialogue isn't paced alongside the animation. Cirno's rant after being brushed aside by Marisa, in particular, stands out for being rushed.
# WesternAnimation.Sealab2021: LostInTranslation: Also overlaps with Inconsistent Dub in the Latin American Spanish dub: While the name of the show was translated literally to Laboratorio submarino 2021, the name of the titular lab is still pronounced in English as "Sealab", very likely to avoid LipLock, since laboratorio submarino requires more words (about 20, plus 10 syllable clusters) than Sealab (just six words and two syllable clusters), through some episodes did translated the place as laboratorio submarino in Spanish.
# DrinkingGame.{{Pokemon}}: Someone utters, whether intentionally/unintentionally, a rather painful Pun (Dub only). If there's any noticeable LipLock.
# VideoGame.TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003: LimitedAnimation: The in-engine cutscenes don't have any of the characters' mouths moving when talking. Given they also often feature the models simply standing around doing nothing, it can make those scenes feel rather boring. The 2D cutscenes used for Stage 3's cutscenes have much more stilted movement and obvious LipLock than the recycled TV footage.
# VideoGame.{{Psychonauts}}: After Bobby kicks Raz off the platform in Basic Braining, he mocks him with some half-singing gibberish while doing a dance. If you watch his lips, it isn't matching what he's saying. Bobby Zilch: I'm not stupid. You're stupid. The Coach is stupid. This whole camp is stupid! (points behind Raz) That thing flying at you is stupid! Raz: What thing?! Bobby Zilch: (kicks Raz off the cliff) Bobby Zilch's foot, that's what! (performs victory dance)
# Manga.{{Akira}}: The film's Mouth Flaps are unusually well animated for a Japanese cartoon, which has caused translators no shortage of grief.
# VideoGame.KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage: Lip flaps are edited to match the English dialogue for the most part. There are a couple scenes where this is noticeably not the case, but it's easy to overlook since characters are usually far from the camera... with the conspicuous exception of Yen Sid, who has the camera square on him at several points during the final cutscenes and isn't synced up with his dialogue half the time.
# VideoGame.GranblueFantasyVersus: The characters' mouths follow the Japanese dub, so the English voices get the lip lock treatment here. It becomes evident in certain animations where the sound comes off even before the character opens their mouth, such as in Zeta's Super Skybound Art. Following the release of more characters, this has at least been averted in the new interactions for the most part.
# Anime.FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren: Since it's CGI with accurate lip movements, the dub suffers from this a lot."Dilly dally shilly shally", a nonsensical phrase used in the English version to replace the Japanese "zuruzuru", an onomatopœia that mimics the sound of dragging a heavy load. Since the entire film is about Cloud letting his guilt and feelings of powerlessness weigh him down ("I feel...lighter"), it makes sense in context. "Dilly dally shilly shally" on the other hand... The Lip Lock also resulted in things like this◊.
# YMMV.BlazBlueAlterMemory: VindicatedByHistory: Upon initial release, So Bad, It's Good was the best praise most gave this series. After the whole No Dub for You fiasco surrounding Central Fiction, however, a number of fans have warmed up to it due to it being another example of the franchise's Superlative Dubbing (albeit, to a lesser extent, due to LipLock).

# WesternAnimation.PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville: The UK dub is terrible with this. The replacement voices for the US dub somehow improve, though much of the UK dub's acting is retained.
# YMMV.{{Tobot}}: NarmCharm: Despite the above, the show and its English Dub are pretty fun when you get down to it, especially as the Seasons/Arcs proceed. Also, ironically to the aforementioned, Diluk and Officer Oh, generally being comic relief characters, probably come out the best out of all of the characters. Having said, the Dub's Season 2 (starting with Korea's Season 8) overhauls all of Season 1's voice actors. Much of the aforementioned issues actually sets in from this point, and most of the voice changes and/or acting are general downgrades from their Season 1 counterparts.note Other indicators of the sinking quality during that point are the lack of re-coordination of the models' mouth flaps, thus increasing LipLock, and the lack of helpfully superimposed translations for written text on items and screens, not even the "Tobot" logo in the opening. The absence of both luxuries are sorely felt and missed before too long.
# WebAnimation.DragonzballP: GagDub: Invoked, especially in the first episode. A lot of the dialogue's humor comes from being written like a sloppy Dub-Induced Plotline Change-filled Hong Kong Dub filled with Bad "Bad Acting", inconsistent adherence to LipLock, glaring Gosh Dang It to Heck!, and silly non-sequitur metaphors inserted into drama, in parody of the earliest dubs of Dragon Ball Z and anime in general.
# Characters.SamuraiWarriors4: "This is no good, this is no good at all". Naotora explains he picked it up from a childhood spent accompanying her at court; her lords would respond to her suggestions with "This is no good", and Naomasa would respond with "This is no good at all" in her defense, and he grew up to use both halves of the phrase. It's subtitled inconsistently in cutscenes, mostly because he can mumble it out pretty quicklynote The Japanese phrase has far less syllables than the English version and it would obviously not match what was said.
# WMG.MiraculousLadybugTheMiraculousAndTheirHolders: The show is animated to match the English dub, hence the LipLock in French, so the bit about it being "awkward" isn't very likely, and the English dub isn't the only one that changes up the dialogue for the transformations. We can probably see the transformations at the same time, but they won't say the phrases together, since the show is written with the knowledge that it will be messy in most of the other languages.They animate at least two versions, there's a French version and an English version. Not sure if the LipLock in French is true, but the LipLock in the English version is like that because they base the animation on the temp recording (testing out the script before finalizing it) and then the official voice actors have to LipLock to that.
# Anime.TransformersCybertron: Averted for the most part.
# Sandbox.WickCheckProject: Brought up in the complaining cleanup thread as a potential complaining magnet. 50 wicks need to be checked.
# SuperlativeDubbing.EnglishDubs: which mixed Brits, Europeans and Americans together to create a great sense of cultural variety for the game's world and featured a script that completely nailed how to convey the subtle schemes and plots that the story revolved around.
# Trivia.FinalFantasyVII: NoDubForYou: When Last Order was finally released in North America and Europe in the collector's edition of Advent Children, it was subtitled only. This is ironic, since Last Order is traditionally animated while Advent Children is CG, which is much harder to dub due to the more detailed lip movements resulting in LipLock.

# Characters.BoboboboBoboboTheRebels: His name was changed to "Poppa Rocks" in the English manga. Odd, considering the English dub calls him by his original name."Poppa Rocks" is one more syllable than "Don Patch".
# Characters.MegaManXZero: This is the reason for Zero's infamous "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOR?!" line in X4, since his lip movements have his mouth open wide when he says it. (The lip sync matches the original Japanese lines.)

# VideoGame.JusticeLeagueCosmicChaos: The in-game cutscenes have the characters' mouths moving constantly, regardless of what they're actually saying, so a simple sentence can see well over a dozen mouth movements, with no regard to pauses and the like.
# Characters.PhantasyStarOnline2ARKSCouncilOfSix: The only character to avert it, though only when she's singing.
# VideoGame.TalesOfZestiria: Due to the fact that the Final Boss involves a Beast-centric Punch Parry, Beast (a series staple arte) was renamed Lion's Howl because it more closely resembles its Japanese name, Shishisenkou, in syllable count. Curiously, in the skits in both Japanese AND English, there are many times when the audio of the dialogue finishes, but the mouth keeps moving for a full second or so.
# YMMV.FinalFantasyX: Much of the voice acting. While groundbreaking when the game came out due to being the first fully-voiced Final Fantasy game, the acting was harshly (perhaps too harshly) criticized from the outset, and is unfavorably compared with the later titles. It's obvious the translators and voice actors are trying to match their dialogue to the Mouth Flaps to avoid LipLock, resulting in lines that sound stilted or hurried. And the result still doesn't match the lip movements very well, so one wonders why they even bothered.As for the voices themselves, most are fine, but Seymour's English voice is very foppish and silky for a character who is supposed to be a major antagonist.
# PhantasyStarOnline2.TropesAToM: Lip movements follow set patterns with no regard for the actual words being spoken. Quna is an exception during her live performances.
# Anime.Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer: The English dub suffers from this in a few places. Fortunately, they're small in number, and the dub as a whole manages to avert this.
# VideoGame.KingdomHeartsCoded: Affects the 2.5 movie version for the same reasons Re:Chain of Memories and Days were. Some notable, curious aversions include scenes with Hades and the "Signs of What's to Come" secret ending.
# Trivia.TheGreenHornetSerials: StuntCasting: An audio version — when Gordon Jones donned the Green Hornet's mask, radio Hornet Al Hodge took over the dialogue. (LipLock issues were avoided thanks to the serial Hornet's full-face mask.) Dropped for the second serial; Warren Hull delivered the Hornet's lines himself.

# Funny.FullmetalAlchemist: When Hughes says that Ed and Al's bodyguards will be relieved soon, Winry, who does not know Ed and Al have been assigned bodyguards to them, responds with "What you say?" This is likely a LipLock error rather than a deliberate reference to Zero Wing and its Translation Train Wreck of an opening cutscene, but those who are familiar with Zero Wing could well be chuckling here.
# FrDictionnaireProvisoire.SchemasNonTraduits: Lip Lock Doublage synchronisé à tous prix (Trieste Sokaris)
# Trivia.PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville: NoBudget: Due to the Limited Animation and cases of LipLock, this may be the case. The ambiguity of what studio animated this, be it Mondo TV or SEK Studio, may contribute to this, especially if it's the latter given that it's based in North Korea of all countries.
# Funny.SpongeBobSquarePantsSeason4: Taste these! Tickler: Oh, no! Jelly-filled donuts?! How did you know they were my weakness?! Sandy: No one can resist jelly-filled!
# Administrivia.TropesNeedingTRS: The trope is about dialogue being changed in the dub to match the lip movement of the original version, but it's often used for cases where the characters' lips movements don't synchronize with their dialogue. It's also used for complaining. *
# VideoGame.DragonBallXenoverse: The English dubbing doesn't match up with the characters' lip movements at times, mostly with pre-fight comments.
# YMMV.JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven: {{Narm}}: The LipLock and intro animations can easily make serious dialogue exchanges unintentionally goofy. One example would be the exchange between DIO and Kakyoin, where the latter is hoarsely panting in fear...while still taking off his shades and summoning his stand like he always does. If Joseph and Caesar are paired up in a fight and Caesar gets KO'd first, it reenacts the scene of this death where he puts his bandanna in a bubble before disappearing, it's a Tear Jerker... but if Joseph is wearing his tequila disguise, it makes this scene way harder to take seriously. Kars' death "scream" sounds more like he just slipped on a banana peel.
# Characters.GarthMarenghisDarkplace: AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Almost all of his line readings are extremely bizarre and stilted, not helped by the obvious overdubbing leading to a bad case of LipLock.
# Funny.TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial: The sheer fact that Darth Vader appears in the special (in stock footage with his only line of dialogue redubbed. You can tell because of not-Bast's huge LipLock problem). Additionally, the fact that Wookieepedia saw fit to give not-Bast a page at all.
# Anime.AceAttorney2016: In the director's commentary for the dub, the team mentioned how some of the dialogue had to be reworked to match the Mouth Flaps. One challenge they mentioned was translating Maya's nickname for Phoenix from "Naruhodo-kun" to "Nick", a reduction of four syllables which had to be accounted for on a regular basis.
# Series.CableGirls: The English dub matches the start and end times of lip movement as faithfully as possible, though the particulars in sentences are still obviously off.
# VideoGame.JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven: Most of the time it's really easy to tell that character's speeches don't match the mouth animations.
# Recap.DeathNoteEp09Encounter: One of the more notable examples in the series is L revealing himself to Kira. "Watashi wa L desu (わたしはLです)" is a fairly simple "I am L", but that doesn't fit the syllable count and thus becomes "I want to tell you, I'm L"
# Podcast.ChapoTrapHouse: Dan McLaughlin, a conservative pundit who self-styles as The Baseball Crank has been repeatedly mocked (owing largely to his ridiculous avatar image) and has been parodied as "The Billiards Fool" on DigCast and as "The Baseball Rube" in the Call of Cthulhu episodes; in nearly every instance, he is portrayed as having a Mickey Mouse-esque warbling falsetto voice (provided by either Felix or Virgil). (On one occasion, he was played with a growly, LipLock-affected voice that made him sound a beefy villain from a poorly-dubbed shounen anime, mocking a Twitter spat with pundit Joy Ann Reid◊ which reads like a stilted translation from Japanese.)
# VideoGame.YakuzaLikeADragon: Averted. Regardless of whether the English or Japanese voiceovers are selected, the characters' lip movements are animated to match.
# WebAnimation.GirlchanInParadise: Its use is especially noticeable at the end of episode 1. Kenstar: I'm going to have to use my sup... my secret technique... that only I can use because of my-... *sneezes* my bloodline!
# Trivia.VampireHunterD: NoDubForYou: At the request of the film's Japanese licensors, the Discotek's re-release does not include the Japanese dub. However, this is a very odd case for anime, as English is actually the film's original language, technically. According to the film's credits, the original script was written in Japanese then translated to English (thus the incorrect "Meyer Link" instead of "Mayerling" and "Dunpeal" instead of "dhampyr"), and the English dialogue was recorded at least three years before the Japanese – the first Japanese cinema and DVD release were subtitled. So, in the case of Bloodlust, it's the Japanese dub that suffers from LipLock. Or maybe; the animation looks like it might have been timed to the original (Japanese) script.
# VideoGame.NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm3: Pretty minor in the Japanese dub. Lots in the English dub.
# VideoGame.XenobladeChronicles1: Goes towards "not even caring about the lip sync", but it's ''especially' noticeable with Riki.
# VideoGame.DevilMayCry5: Surprisingly for a Capcom game, especially one that's released while Street Fighter V was still making the rounds, the cutscenes in this game are animated for the English dub, making the Japanese voice actors the ones to get lip locked this time around.
# UsefulNotes.JapaneseHonorifics: Almost all Dracula's followers address him in the same way as he is normally addressed in English, in this case, being named by his name exclusively without honorifics, or just being named "Count" (Hanshaku). This is especially relevant here, as in almost all the games of the franchise with Japanese voice acting, Dracula is always addressed as either "Count Dracula" or "Lord Dracula" (Dracula-sama), but this is not the case here, except in a few episodes, when Isaac did used "Dracula-sama", but not consistently. It's very likely the reduced use of honorifics was done for avoiding LipLock.
# WesternAnimation.{{Zootopia}}: The film was retitled Zootropolis in Europe and for the UK version the actors re-recorded lines with the city's alternative name, but the characters' mouth movements remain the same.
# Manga.VenusWars: A particularly bad one in the English dub, as Jack exclaims "I said, 'Let's chill OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUT!'"
# Funny.EpicRapBattlesOfHistory: "What's up, bitcheeees?!" "My name is Adam Smith! I invented capitalism!" Each ERB News segment features the Announcer saying "EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY" in time to footage of some sort of animal opening and closing its mouth. You are guaranteed to bust a gut.
# Funny.PowerRangersSamurai: "No, I'm mighty green!" This gem from Octoroo. Octoroo: For a guy who can talk without moving his lips, you sure seem to get angry a lot.
# Film.{{Wishmaster}}: The Djinn tends to gradually drop his human act. The first stage consists of him starting to talk in a deep hissing voice with elongated stress on some syllables. A Persian man turned half snake in the prologue also talks this way when begging the sorcerer for help.
# YMMV.KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep: {{Woolseyism}}: Aqua's famous My Name Is Inigo Montoya moment. In the Japanese version she only says "Return my friend's heart!", but leaving it at that would have created a LipLock moment. Instead, the English localization team extended it to match Aqua's lip movement, creating in the process arguably the biggest Badass Boast in the entire franchise. In the original Japanese, Ven is told to use the two extra tickets to Disney Town to bring his parents, with his face falling at the reminder that he's an orphan while Terra and Aqua briefly laugh at the idea of them being parents. In the English version, this is changed to Ven being told to bring two grown ups, with his reaction instead being annoyance at being treated like a kid and Terra and Aqua have a good natured laugh at his expense.
# WebVideo.JamesAndMikeMondays: Referenced in the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) video: A shop owner says "hi" and continues to move his mouth and hands despite not speaking another word. James thinks it's odd that occurs, and Mike says it's like those Godzilla movies where the dubbing and the original mouth movements are off. James defends the Godzilla movies by saying they were nowhere near as ridiculous as this.
# Anime.EurekaSevenGoodNightSleepTightYoungLovers: DubText: Applies to The Movie's subtitles where LipLock isn't a factor, such as voice over.
# WebAnimation.DisventureCamp: EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Since the first episode of Season 2 was first uploaded in Spanish, the lip movements were animated to match the language, causing a notable LipLock when the episode received an English dub. Episode 2 onwards would have the animation match the English dub instead.
# ShoutOut.MegasXLR: In addition to the Gatchaman, Voltron, and sentai homages that fly left and right in "Bad Guy", Jax's unintelligible alien speech noises are possibly a nod to Copper Kid from SilverHawks, or Keyop's verbal tics added to Battle of the Planets due to LipLock.
# VideoGame.XenobladeChronicles2: The game suffers from this for both the English and Japanese dubs, as the characters' lip movements were animated before the audio was recorded. While other Nintendo games such as Fire Emblem: Awakening also had this problem, this game is far more cutscene-heavy than previous instances and also suffers from English voice direction that was largely done in one take, which makes the lack of lip sync even more noticeable. The one exception is the final cutscene in the game, where the lip movements are re-animated to match most, if not all, of the English dialogue for the international release.
# YMMV.DragonBall: Battle of Gods, the dub team has always used the original Japanese name, so the debate is moot outside of nostalgia. Although that hasn't stopped the Flame Wars between Spaniards and Latin Americans, since some of the latter Never Live It Down, and in the most extreme, but not too uncommon cases, even use the term as an anti-Spain slur on social media.
# Funny.AnimeAbandon: Jack: I said, "Let's chill OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUTTTTT!!!" Sage: (bursts out laughing, having to take a few seconds to compose himself afterwards) Was that dude speaking in Garbage Barge? He sounds like Fran Drescher if she inhaled a balloon filled with sulfur hexafluoride! (He then plays the line again, followed by a clip of Fran Drescher with the audio slowed down and deepened. It cuts back to him sighing contently.) Sage: Movie... you still suck like you're trying to break the record... but I needed that. Thank you.
# Anime.HowlsMovingCastle: The Swedish and Norwegian dub doesn't only have the same mistranslation, they also call Howl "Hauru", for the same reasons. Slightly justified in that they were trying to lip sync the movie, but it still comes off a bit awkward.
# Anime.{{Bakugan}}: ArtEvolution: Gundalian Invaders finally stopped with all the Off-Model-ness, but the LipLock is still heavily present. Battle Planet also exhibits this with radically new designs and more consistent animation quality for both 2D and 3D animation compared to the earlier seasons. This is likely due to Nelvana and Spin Master having more involvement this time around.
# Anime.SailorMoon: This happens in almost every sentence spoken in the Viz dub, where the dub writers tried so hard to make the script as close to the Japanese original as possible (and match up the lip flaps to boot), that oftentimes, natural sounding & flowing English dialogue is thrown out the window. Averted with the DIC dub, which has the opposite problem. The DIC dub additionally suffers from this trope in a literal sense, particularly during the Irwin Toy-funded run of the dub (the last 17 episodes of the R season), where oddly-placed dialogue pauses were (uncommon but) present due to how the lip flaps were timed. This was noticeably less of an issue in the initial 65-episode syndication run of the DIC dub, as the Irwin Toy-funded episodes were rushed out of the door by Optimum (in order to air on Cartoon Network as “the lost episodes”).
# YMMV.{{Violetta}}: AmericansHateTingle: Part of the reason why Violetta hasn't exactly been a hit with UK audiences is because most are bothered by the LipLock, whether or not they know it's a dub. The dubbed singing made it worse. Interestingly, the hate isn't as strong in Scandinavia and South Africa, where it's even one of the most watched Disney shows.
# Trivia.OnePiece: First, Odex Enterprises, who was hired for Animax, made a dub in 2003 for the Asian market; it lasted 104 episodes and was – as is typical for Animax – extremely close to the Japanese script, maybe too close. It was also infamous for constantly switching out actors (Nami alone had three different voices by the time it was done).
# Anime.BattleOfThePlanets: VerbalTic: A side effect of LipLock. Poor Keyop.
# YMMV.{{Calling}}: {{Narm}}: The English dub, due to both the voice acting and horrible LipLock.
# Anime.YokaiWatch: The English dub generally has good lip-syncing however occasionally it doesn't match up correctly or a characters mouth stops moving slightly before they stop speaking.
# Anime.PrincessMononoke: Not really, but the gods seem to have the ability to speak without moving their mouths. There are animal noises in the background of them speaking, which sync up with the mouths just fine. Presumably there's some sort of Translation Convention at work.
# YMMV.NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm3: LipLock aside, this game has some of the best dub voice work in the series.
# Film.DrPhibesRisesAgain: Phibes still talks through electrical speakers.
# Anime.DragonQuestYourStory: Downplayed in the English dub. While this inevitably happens sometimes as a result of the mouth movements being animated for the Japanese dialogue, the English dub does a good job with not falling into this for the most part.
# YMMV.{{Extermination}}: NightmareRetardant: The voice acting in this game is really atrocious. Dull Surprise, LipLock and obscenely silly lines dim the horror elements when you're laughing as how bad the characters are.
# YMMV.DragonBallZTheWorldsStrongest: While the Swedish dub for the movie series is for the most part not an example of this trope, ranging from passable at best to downright laughably bad at worst, Per Sandborgh as Dr. Wheelo downright steals the show with the kind of acting that is right at home in the series and where you can just hear Dr. Wheelo's slow decent down the Villainous Breakdown as he starts out as cold and becoming increasingly unhinged as it goes on. The fact that Per voided a character where he didn't have to worry about LipLock probably also helped.
# DubNameChange.EnglishToForeignItalianThroughVietnamese: Sloth's nickname was changed to Słoń ("Elephant"), since this conveniently preserves the number of syllables (a literal translation of "sloth" would be three syllables long), and has similar connotations. Data's nickname was changed to "Delta" (presumably because "data" is always a plural in Polish and would sound bizarre as someone's name, while "Delta" has similar nerdy connotations).
# Memes.FinalFantasy: "Withyunabymyside" Explanation For whatever reason, the English voice actors were not shown the footage while recording and so did not know exactly how much time they had to record their lines. To compound this, the game engine would crash if the audio was too long or too short. As a result, sometimes the audio is sped up in order to fit the allotted time for the character's dialogue. By far the most notorious being a passionate speech Tidus makes about the journey... ending with this suddenly erratic string of word.
# Sandbox.Excessive-Menace:
# YMMV.FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren: Sephiroth's wonderful present for Cloud: "Shall I give you dis pear?" "Unforgiveable!" -> "You meanie!" Because Loz apparently needed to be even more of a Manchild. "Dilly dally shilly shally." "There's not a thing I don't cherish!" So really Cloud, you value everything in existence? That's either Narm or a hell of a Papa Wolf. BANANA◊ People have also jokingly called Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo the "Jenova's Witnesses".
# MiraculousLadybug.TropesEToM: The show was lip-synced to the English script (a standard practice for a lot of European animation nowadays), making it this trope in its own native language.
# Funny.GhostStories: "Oh-my-god-what-the-hell-is-happening-here-these-are-the-fastest-lip-flaps-I've-ever-had-to-sync!!!"
# Anime.SpeedRacer: {{Catchphrase}}: Speed likes to exclaim "OHHH!!!" to such an extent that it becomes this. Note that this is a side effect of the rather LipLock heavy English scripts Fernandez wrote around the lazy syllable syncing of the original Tatsunoko animation.
# VideoGame.TheLegendOfSpyroDawnOfTheDragon: The game was made by a French game studio (Etranges Libellules), so the lip-pinching is intended to match French dialogue and the English dub sometimes makes conversations seem kind of rushed.
