A dub that deals with Lip Lock by paying little or no attention to Mouth Flaps, such that the characters' voices typically begin and/or end out of sync with their mouth movements, and rarely match them when the two happen at the same time. The result is often an unintentional Gag Dub. Nowadays, it is often still present in advertisements. This is especially problematic for foreign dubs of Western Animation since voice recording is done first with the animation being done after to match. Anime, however, doesn't run into this problem as much since there really isn't any lip syncing to be done (most anime have the characters talk by simply moving their mouths up and down◊), but the timing and general mouth movements still prove to be an issue for English dubs. As the page quote hints, another inherent linguistic reason is that Japanese tends to take more syllables compared to the same sentence in other major languages like English or Mandarin. It's also easier for video games to avoid this since editing the lip syncing is cheaper to do thanks to being done in-engine. Also called the "Hercules Dub" for its appearance in Sword and Sandal movies imported from Italy during the 1960s, particularly the various Hercules movies starring Steve Reeves. In the case of these old Italian films it's a problem even in the original language. Most older Italian films were shot MOS and dubbed, before good ADR techniques existed. Common in any parody of Martial Arts Movie movies or Japanese Toku. |

Only Yesterday suffers from this in some dubs since the adult sequences, just like AKIRA, had the voices recorded before the animation. GKIDS' later English dub attempts to match the lip synching and it mostly works well. | |

The English dub of Guin Saga has become pretty notorious for its poor production values, poor voice acting, and poor lip-syncing. It's unusually bad for a dub from Seraphim Digital Studios (formerly ADV), whose dubs had been fairly well-received. Check out how AWFUL this dub is. It's especially weird considering that the first half's dub… wasn't that bad. For some reason, Seraphim was rushed on part two, and not only did the quality decline, half of the cast ended up changed. | |

The English dub of Tamagotchi, commissioned directly by the Japanese distributor and recorded at a barely-known studio in the Miami area, often has lip movements not matching the dialogue as well as they probably should. Despite this, the episode Ding Dong! You Have a Visitor! averts this, as the lip sync is considerably better than in most episodes. This extends to the fact that even the Japanese version sometimes does this as well. Perhaps the dubbing studio tried to imitate the way they did it? |

Just Visiting (The Remake of Les Visiteurs) was filmed in the English language (with the same French actors as the original, Jean Reno and Christian Clavier) then was redubbed in French. With the American actors there isn't much of an issue as they were handled by experienced French voice actors, but for Reno and Clavier, what they say (since they dubbed themselves) never matches the moves of their mouths (they had no experience of dubbing live-action stuff, they dubbed animals in Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey and Reno had dubbed animation only up to this point — the eponymous character in Porco Rosso and King Mufasa in The Lion King most famously). | |

The original Japanese version of episode 11 of Let's Go! Tamagotchi flubs up the lip sync at two points, one where Mametchi explains to Memetchi about Chamametchi not listening to him about staying home and another when Mametchi gets everybody to quiet down. The English dub fixes both of these. | |

The Italian dub of the first season of House suffers from this a lot: in more than one episode you can hear House's voice while Hugh Laurie's lips are completely shut, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Luckily, the dub has improved in the following seasons. | |

Iron Chef opted for this (wanting an accurate translation) instead of Lip Lock, reasoning that since the bulk of the commentary would be done by off-screen people, it wouldn't matter the times they talked on-screen. And they didn't even bother dubbing Chairman Kaga (subtitling his dialogue instead) unless absolutely necessary because his voice actor wasn't received very well. | |

Painfully obvious during Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner's animated sequences, as they opted not to use CGI or live-action for characters. Apparently no attempts were made to sync the animation and dialogue, leading to some absolutely preposterous levels of lip-flapping in the English versions of the game. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Marge in Chains", Osaka factory workers have lip movements that don't match their spoken lines in a parody of this. Most notably, their Evil Laugh apparently lasted much longer in the "original" Japanese. "Kamp Krusty" has Krusty's introduction video for Mr. Black, the head of the camp, being very obviously dubbed over. |

The sketch-comedy Almost Live! did this with its "Billy Quan" kung-fu parodies. Amusingly, one of the actors in the skit (John Keister) always supplied the still-out-of-sync voiceovers for his own character. Later, the character got a minor recurring segment on Bill Nye the Science Guy called "Mind Your Manners with Billy Quan". |

Earwig and the Witch, being Studio Ghibli's first All-CGI Cartoon, was animated with the Japanese voice acting in mind. This makes it so that most dubs to other languages would be Hong Kong dubs. GKIDS' English dub, despite being mostly competent, is still somewhat of a Hong Kong dub. | |

Power Rangers: Observed in Rita Repulsa in the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. This was even preserved in the movie, where they actually could have avoided it, for the Camp value. The same thing happens with Mystic Mother in Power Rangers Mystic Force. It's actually because they're the same person. In Mighty Morphin, it's also observed with Zordon and Scorpina. Even though they don't have mouths outside their helmets, the stock footage can also suffer from this in some seasons where they didn't even bother to retroscript the lines to the footage after translating the Japanese lines and editing them to fit the new narratives, mostly in seasons that heavily rely on the stock footage, so the dialogue for said footage was originally meant to be Japanese, or there might not have been dialogue at all in said footage originally, just music or grunting. For instance, just watch the first episode of Super Megaforce, since they used footage from the first 2 episodes of Gokaiger, and the main plot and characters are nothing like its source material, they had to fit a lot of quick Ass Pull explanations where the footage didn't allow, hoping people wouldn't notice, or put in dialogue that was unnecessary and just wouldn't let the scenes play and let the viewer enjoy them. There's also a lethal dose of puns over the fight footage that really don't belong and aren't really that funny. |

When Baby Bear sees this, he says, "Look! It is a giant monster!", and moves his mouth after he finishes talking. Later, when Elmo gets upset that he's now too big to play games with his friends, Baby Bear says, "This monster is going to destroy the city!", again continuing to move his mouth after he finishes talking. When Telly asks Baby Bear why he keeps doing it, Baby Bear tells him that he Saw It in a Movie Once, so it seemed like the right thing to do. | |

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist makes prodigious use of the trope. Using advanced Green Screen technology, it inserts Steve Oedekerk into a 1970s kung-fu movie, rewrites all the dialogue, and dubs in all the new lines this way — with all voices provided by Steve Oedekerk. Even the lines Oedekerk already said himself on screen. Being a comedy, it did the Hong Kong Dub deliberately: At one point, the film dubs a dog barking. We see the dog bark, then it lies down on the ground, and then we hear it bark. The film hardly bothers to even provide dialogue for Ling's mouth flaps, much of which are translated as "weooweooweooweooweoo". Steve grabs a hold of Ling and screams at her ("I'm somebody's mommy!!"), while his dub voice calmly says, "I implore you to reconsider." One fight that had no dialogue at all in the original became a scene involving ventriloquists: |

The Serbian dub of Tokyo Mew Mew is notorious for having very low production value and poor lip-syncing. Some lines are at least 3 seconds off in both "too early" and "too late". It got worse as it went on, although it got better around episode 30. Unfortunately, it was not to last. It got bad again about 10 episodes later... The Portuguese dub of the second half of Mew Mew was also bad with lip syncing, although the voice actors sounded more professional than the Serbian actors (all 4 of them!). |

Batman: The Brave and the Bold does this when adapting a 60s Batman manga story, which is in the style of old, clumsily dubbed broadcasts of Astro Boy. It's more subtle than most deliberate examples, but the dialogue spoken clearly doesn't match the lip flaps. There's also a bit where Robin says something very hurriedly, as if his line was too long to fit in the existing footage without Speed Racer-esque fast-talking. Bat-Mite implies that the dialogue was hastily rewritten to conceal the fact that the main villain died. | |

From December 2000 until Taka's release in 2001, Kaientai's gimmick in the then-WWF was that the team were always Hong Kong Dubbed. And this wasn't just for the folks at home, either; they were somehow dubbed in real-time via the arena's sound system. Don't ask how that was supposed to work; it was funny. Taka Michinoku would usually rant about how 'eeevil' they are (with the voice of Bruce Prichard) while Funaki would invariably say only one word: indeed. Think Milli Vanilli concerts. "IIIIIIIIIIIIIINDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" |

This is parodied in Lizzie McGuire when Matt and Gordo make an audition tape for being in the new Jet Li film. Happens again when the McGuire family sees Matt's ad on TV (the commercial itself was the HK dub-like in that episode). | |

Speed Racer tended to slip into this (when it wasn't Motor Mouth Lip Lock). Of course, since they only had two days to dub each episode it's a miracle they were able to sync as well as they did. | |

The abridged series Ultra Fast Pony has many legitimate scenes where the creator couldn't be bothered to make the lip-flaps match his redubbed dialogue. But it also has a few scenes where he exaggerates and lampshades the mismatch: In "Now with a Sound Effect", Twilight says that the lip-synch in that episode is the best she's ever seen, without moving her lips at all. And in "This One Time at Flight Camp", Derpy talks without moving her mouth, attributing this to her newfound powers of telepathy. | |

One of the more notable Weinstein dubs, Princess Mononoke, is an aversion, however. It was well-praised for its Woolseyism courtesy of Neil Gaiman to the point that people thought the film was reanimated for the English dub and said English dub was rereleased in Japanese cinemas with Japanese subtitles. Though the faithfully Woolseyised dub was the cause of Executive Meddling gone right with director Hayao Miyazaki interfering to avoid the film from being given a butchered Arabian Knight Hong Kong Dub treatment. One can only imagine the horrors that await when Miyazaki's masterpiece is butchered by Harvey Scissorhands. | |

Used for convenience's sake in Sam & Max Hit the Road, where the animation sprites for the characters just use a repeating, meaningless mouth flap loop. Lampshaded in one of Sam's failure dialogues, where Sam turns to face the player and tells them, "Read my lips -- I. Can't. Pick. That. Up.", with his lips doing the exact same loop as the entire rest of the time. | |

The overworld skits in Tales of Symphonia have their Mouth Flaps synched to the original Japanese text. It's barely noticeable most of the time, since the skits aren't voiced, but now and then it's obvious that they're taking too long or not long enough to say a line. In one particular instance, Sheena takes six syllables to say "I...I...". note Most likely watashi. | |

Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Rosso have had pre-Disney English dubs commissioned by Tokuma Shoten as in-flight movie releases for Japan Airlines and for the Hong Kong market (making these dubs literal Hong Kong dubs despite not being recorded in Hong Kong). This is subverted for Totoro and Kiki as the acting and lip synching is quite competent despite the low production values of these dubs. Played straight for Castle and Porco. Some people still prefer these dubs for a variety of reasons, even if they are Hong Kong dubs that have since become rare after the release of Disney's later and more professional redubs. | |

The Hungarian dub of Transformers: Armada is comparable to these, save for the fact that it has proper, professional, and not all-that-bad voice actors, who simply happen to not give a damn about the whole cartoon, and have a hard time paying attention to mouth movements. That goes for the first 30 episodes or so. The dub vastly improved once the cartoon's plot began to thicken. | |

Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army manages to do this with text. However, to its credit, it's not noticeable until the lip flaps do match up, such as when a character says a name, which remains unchanged (this is easiest to spot with the name "Raidou"). As it is in text, it is not at all jarring unless one is anal-retentive about it. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 does this in two different ways. During cutscenes, the English dub does its best to properly match lip flaps for characters, but there are a few times that slip by now and then. Heart-to-Heart interactions are fully voiced, non-cutscene interactions between (usually) two characters that require the player to manually advance the dialogue. If they never press the button to advance, the current talking character will continue to animate their mouth until the other character continues the conversation. It should be noted too, that even the Japanese voice acting has moments where they fail to sync with the lip flaps. | |

All of the Godzilla movies from Godzilla vs. Gigan onward (except Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla 2000) were released in America with crude "international" or "export" dubs commissioned by Toho (the studio producing the films) and actually created by Omni Productions in Hong Kong. The mismatched lip movement is at times painful to watch, and the acting and writing is pretty awful too. Some of the pre-Gigan films have both international dubs and superior dubs produced in the US, but due to Toho's preference for the dubs they commissioned themselves, the American dubs having been getting harder to find in recent decades except for cases where there is no international alternative. Some of the international dubs are well-liked for their delightful silliness but others are maligned for just being flat-out awful. | |

The Fairly OddParents! did the same thing as Family Guy when they parodied Speed Racer in the TV movie Channel Chasers by having the actors do over-the-top takes of the lines, speaking very fast and doing over-the-top reactions to things. It might also be used to illustrate how dubbing has gotten better since the 60s, since the later Dragon Ball parody has the lips match the dialogue. | |

The Finnish dub of Lady Lady!!, released on VHS. It contains very poor voice acting (Lynn shifts from sounding like a young child to an adult, and Thomas sounds like a robot) and characters constantly move their mouths when no audio is coming out, and vice versa. The most egregious example is the scene where Edward falls off his horse and begans screaming in pain...but because the audio and video don't match up, the audio of Edward screaming plays while the animation shows him clenching his teeth in frustration, staying like that for a good number of seconds. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Adventure was known for little lip sync whatsoever, even in the original Japanese. Starting with Sonic Heroes, later games attempted to avoid this by syncing the mouth movements to the English dialogue. The side effect is that the Japanese version greatly suffers. Back with a vengeance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), which not coincidentally is the last Sonic game where the English dialogue is obviously a dub. Especially noticeable whenever the human characters are speaking. |

Given how many languages My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has been dubbed into, it was inevitable this would happen at some point. Case in point: the Romanian dub, which doesn't even try to sync to the lip flaps – or even the beat – during songs. Strangely enough, this happened in the original English in two spots during the episode "Read It and Weep". Both times it's obvious the actor recorded a line, came back later to rerecord and changed the line, but the animation wasn't updated. The Croatian HRT dub in particular stands out as it manages to take it up a notch; on top of careless lip-syncing, the voice actors' recorded lines are oftentimes either too short or too long, which in the former case leads to either missing dialogue/empty air or line looping/replaying and in the latter case to lines frequently and blatantly overlapping each other. There are also a few cases like a line being so long that it pushes the next one out completely, essentially replacing it, and existing audio being copy-pasted into a new place (sometimes even including sound effects) instead of properly recording new dialogue, leading to glaringly non-existent lip-syncing. In very rare instances it becomes even more severe such as blatantly missing dialogue (for example, in "The Show Stoppers" the CMC's initial song rehearsal as Applejack listens is completely silent and Apple Bloom's remark about being librarians doesn't play, leaving her with just lip-syncing) and wrong dialogue audio (for example, when Fluttershy sings to Hummingway in "A Bird in the Hoof", she instead repeats one of her previous lines despite the clear fact she was supposed to be singing). Even the Japanese dub of the first two seasons is not exempt from this. Case in point- in Lesson Zero, Sweetie Belle's lines about "her mane" goes like that, as the Japanese word for mane (Tategami) is a bit longer than "Mane" and it shows on the lip movement. |

Doogal, which is the American dub of The Magic Roundabout (2005), suffers horribly from this, seeing as how most of the dialogue makes reference to pop culture. This also applies to other animated films localised by the infamous Harvey Weinstein. Other victims of this process include The Thief and the Cobbler, Hoodwinked!, Ballerina, Metegol, and Leo the Lion, among many others. In many of these cases, characters speak loudly even when their lips are visibly not moving. Usually averted for alternate dubs not made by Miramax/The Weinstein Company, however. One of the more notable Weinstein dubs, Princess Mononoke, is an aversion, however. It was well-praised for its Woolseyism courtesy of Neil Gaiman to the point that people thought the film was reanimated for the English dub and said English dub was rereleased in Japanese cinemas with Japanese subtitles. Though the faithfully Woolseyised dub was the cause of Executive Meddling gone right with director Hayao Miyazaki interfering to avoid the film from being given a butchered Arabian Knight Hong Kong Dub treatment. One can only imagine the horrors that await when Miyazaki's masterpiece is butchered by Harvey Scissorhands. |

A lot of old Italian films were this way; they would film the movie without a soundtrack, and dub dialogue in later (Federico Fellini in particular liked to play the piano while filming). If you pay attention, you can frequently see minor lip synch slips. Just to give an example, in Fellini Satyricon, the dialogue is nothing but foreign actors counting from one to ten over and over, which was then dubbed over in Italian with... something not much more coherent. Fellini gave two reasons: to confuse the audience, and because there were no homosexual actors in Italy. | |

Every non-Japanese dub of AKIRA suffers from this, owing to the fact that unlike most anime, the Japanese voices were recorded first and the mouths drawn to match. Essentially, this made it like a live action film. The second English version from Animaze does make an effort to follow the animation more closely than the Streamline dub. How well it works is a matter of opinion. | |

Street Fighter IV has some of this, with Seth's introduction right before the final fight of arcade mode being the most noticeable. During his introduction, the character model itself has his mouth open for a few seconds as if he's saying "HAAAAAA", but Michael McConnohie's dialogue produces a few words during that animation. It's typically not noticeable, but at times its very obvious that they didn't care. This carries over to Street Fighter X Tekken, which uses a tweaked Street Fighter IV engine. | |

From Hungary: the dub of Transformers (2007). The timing is about half a second off in most cases. Then, there is Ironhide's line about exterminating the parents, which he says during Optimus' reaction to his suggestion, and also Judy's "You're so cheap." comment, spoken about 10 seconds too early. | |

In the Star Trek: Voyager Parody Fic A Fistful of Mammary Gland this is caused by a faulty Universal Translator not being in sync, making everyone sound like they're in a Spaghetti Western. | |

The Green Acres episode "Never Start Talking Unless Your Voice Comes Out" uses this as a running gag, with Eb's voice heard about a second after his mouth moves, then about a second before his mouth moves, and so on. | |

The Polish translation of Aztec Wars, especially painfully visible in the intro, where everyone and their mother move their lips even when quiet, as if they were all chewing gum. | |

Gundam 0079: The War for Earth: The live actions scenes are filmed in English, with the Japanese release having the original voice actors dub over the lines. No attempt is made to match the lip sync. | |

The former trope namer is the Italian-produced Hercules films of the late-1950s and '60s. Italian films of the time were shot without live-sound, all dialogue and foley effects were dubbed in later. Often this was a necessity, due to international casts where a shared language wasn't guaranteed — the Hercules films typically starred American or British leads, with a European supporting cast. Actors would either recite lines in their native language, or learn them phonetically. Consequently, every version of the film, including the "original" Italian ones, would have some degree of loose lips. The same applies to other Italian movie genres, like Spaghetti Westerns (including The Dollars Trilogy), Giallo, and Poliziottesco; all of which were shot MOS until the late 1980s. |

Killer's Kiss: After having difficulty with the boom mike casting shadows in his shots, Stanley Kubrick elected to dub in all the dialogue after-the-fact. In certain scenes it doesn't match up very well. | |

The producers of The Critic made a habit of changing lines after the animation was complete, resulting in many moments where the characters' mouth movements don't match their speech at all. | |

Strangely enough, the Japanese version of Ghost Stories played this straight while the Gag Dub matches up surprisingly well (and frequently made fun of it in the process). | |

Pinocchio: A True Story's English dub doesn't really try to match the lip synching, resulting in the characters' mouths frequently moving after they've finished talking. In the infamous Lionsgate US redub with Pauly Shore, the lip synching is even more off in addition to the wooden acting. | |

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind had the infamous Warriors of the Wind dub courtesy of New World Pictures. A slight detail in the film has the gas masks of the people from the Valley of the Wind flop around whenever they start talking. This has been followed in both the original Japanese and Disney's later uncut English dub. On the other hand, Warriors has the characters silent even when the masks flop around and vice versa in some scenes. It is quite jarring after watching either the original Japanese or the Ghibli-approved Disney dub. The first two Cantonese dubs of the film had a literal Hong Kong Gag Dub that featured contemporary pop culture references, Dub Name Changes galore, humor that specifically dates the dub to 1980s Hong Kong, and very little regard for the lip-synching. For the Blu-ray remaster, the film would be given a third Cantonese dub that would be much Truer to the Text and had much better lip-synching. |
