History Advertising / DairyQueenLips

----

* TrrrillingRrrs: One ad has the Lips practicing saying "tortilla" with a rolling R, then advertising a wrap (there are variants of the ad with different wraps) and referring to a tortilla on the wrap with the rolling R. They don't use rolling R's for any other words.

* TimeTravelEpisode: The DQ Lips are taken to the past when they think the Double Cheeseburger Meal being $4.99 is the "greatest deal of all time". In the past, a caveman trades his burning torch with another caveman's rock and promptly throws said rock at the other caveman. The Lips still thinks the Double Cheeseburger Meal's price is still a better deal.

* ShoutOut: The Lips wonder how the Peanut Buster Parfait can have such a low price and muse "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz If I only had a brain...]]"

The ads aired in the United States and Canada primarily, with a few ads being aired in Mexico and at least one ad being made for the Philippines as well.

Dairy Queen is an American fast food restaurant chain that was founded in 1940 and specializes in dessert products such as ice cream and cookies. In the mid-2000's, Dairy Queen introduced a new mascot - a pair of CGI-animated, floating, disembodied lips voiced by Creator/OliverVaquer - who would go on to appear in a number of their commercials at the time. The lips would provide typically down-to-earth humor while advertising Dairy Queen's food items.

* AlienEpisode: To prove that a deal on DQ's soft drinks is the "galaxy's greatest", the lips bring along an alien named Phil to taste-test one of the drinks.

* AnimatedOuttakes: The ad featuring the Girl Scout has a blooper reel. The first three bloopers are simple mess-ups (the girl forgets her line, forgets her box of cookies, and then trips while talking to the lips), while the fourth has the lips seemingly cracking under pressure and yanking the cookies from the girl.

** When the lips hear that the Chicken Strip Basket is only $3.99, they try to make a rush for DQ, but they hit the screen and crack it by accident, in the process also chipping one of their teeth.

** The lips sing the classic Kit-Kat jingle ("Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar!") and hold the last note for long enough and at a high enough pitch that it cracks the screen.
** In the outtakes for the Girl Scouts Blizzard ads, the lips violently yank the box of cookies from the girls' hands and then make a run for it, hitting and cracking the screen as they do so.

* DramaticThunder: The lips compare the deals from DQ's value menu to being "all powerful" and do an EvilLaugh before almost being struck by lightning.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: In a Mother's Day ad, the lips show off a tattoo they got on their tongue, a heart that's supposed to say "mom" but reads "mim" instead. They immediately remark "Who the heck is Mim?"

* FloatingClocks: Well, one clock, anyway. It appears when the lips travel back in time to the Stone Age.

* GonnaNeedMoreX: When the lips realize the DQ value menu provides over 20,000 possible meal combinations, they say "I'm gonna need a bigger tray."
* GoodAngelBadAngel: In one commercial, the lips consider the 2.99 deal to be so good that it almost feels like stealing. Cue the good and bad angels appearing right next to them and subsequently telling them to go right ahead.
* HandyMouth: The lips use their mouth to pull a veil off a DQ value menu and write with chalk.
* HeadDesk: After their human friends fail to guess the answer to their picture charade, the lips repeatedly bang themselves on the door in frustration.
* MotorMouth: The lips speak noticeably faster after having six Moolatte coffees.
* NoNameGiven: The lips were never given a proper name.

* RogerRabbitEffect: In one of the commercials, the CGI-animated lips play a game of picture charades with a family of live-action actors, hoping that the family will guess the correct answer of "Blizzard" (as in, the DQ ice cream treat).
* ShoutOut: The lips wonder how the Peanut Buster Parfait can have such a low price and muse "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz If I only had a brain...]]"
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The picture charades ad reveals the lips have a girlfriend, who is pink in color and wears a flower.
* ThisSongGoesOutToTVTropes: The lips precede their songs about the Dairy Queen bacon cheeseburger by saying "This one's for the carnivores".

* TongueTwister: In one ad, the lips say "Brownie Batter Blizzard" four times fast, only for their tongue to literally become tied the fourth time.

* TranslationYes: In the ad with Phil the alien, the Dairy Queen Lips ask Phil if he thinks the milkshake he just drank is the "galaxy's greatest". Phil responds with a lengthy growl followed by disintegrating into gloop. The lips say that's Phil's way of saying "yes".

* TwinkleSmile: The lips blow out a candle on a Blizzard, meant to celebrate the treat's 25th anniversary, and the room becomes so dark that the lips decide to use their shiny, toothy smile to illuminate it. Thank goodness they've been whitening.

* TrrrillingRrrs: One ad has the Lips practicing saying "tortilla" with a rolling R, then advertising a wrap (there are variants of the ad with different wraps) and referring to a tortilla on the wrap with the rolling R.

* TrrrillingRs: One ad has the Lips practicing saying "tortilla" with a rolling R, then advertising a wrap (there are variants of the ad with different wraps) and referring to a tortilla on the wrap with the rolling R.

* AnimatedOuttakes: The ad featuring the Girl Scout has a blooper reel. The first two bloopers are simple mess-ups (the girl forgets her box of cookies and then trips while talking to the lips), while the third has the lips seemingly cracking under pressure and ''attacking'' the girl.
