Synchro-Vox is an extreme form of Limited Animation: A mostly obsolete technique in which footage of the actor's mouth is superimposed upon an otherwise non-moving image. See the other Wiki. Can look pretty unnatural. A few lazier productions go one step further and also animate the eye movements this way. Mentioned on the Dead Unicorn Trope page because only a very small number of productions used it straight, after which everyone immediately realized it looked really, really creepy and fake; anyone using it outside of those very few examples is probably going for comedic effect, Mind Screw or both. You can expect it to suddenly show up in other forms of animation as a Medium-Shift Gag. It has made somewhat of a resurgence on YouTube, either for deliberate comedic effect or simply because it's very easy to do. Just as primitive Rotoscoping has given way to Motion Capture, the great-great-grandson of this technique can be found in the advanced facial performance capture techniques used in works like Avatar and L.A. Noire. Compare Medium Blending. |

In The Simpsons episode "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Marge", Marge is declared insane. On the "Krusty the Clown Show" Krusty does Conan O'Brien's bit with an image of Marge with Sideshow Mel's mouth crudely superimposed. "She" responds to Krusty's question of who her favorite Native American warrior is with "Crazy Horse". Krusty realizes the bit is getting old and calls for the Mad Marge dancersnote cf. the "Judge Ito dancers" on The Tonight Show during the OJ Simpson trial. | |

Goosebumps (1995): In "The Haunted Mask", whenever the plaster bust of Carly Beth's head appears to speak, live eyes and a mouth are superimposed onto the bust. "My Best Friend Is Invisible" uses this technique during The Reveal at the end; depicting the protagonist, Sammy, and his entire family, as aliens with faces on the back of their heads. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged occasionally uses this for both hilarious and creepy effect: In the #CellGames short featuring Ryu and Ken, Ryu mentions how the way fighters communicate is through their fists, Cell responds by saying that they should do so with their mouths, using this effect as he says it. In another #CellGames short featuring Light Yagami and Ryuk, Light begs Ryuk for help when he realizes the Death Note stopped only one of Cell's hearts and Cell is about to kill him. Ryuk's only response is an evil grin, but what makes it creepier is that the Synchro-Vox is not only applied to his mouth, but his entire face. In the first episode of Dragon ShortZ, Nappa briefly uses this effect when he tells Vegeta "Don't shake the baby", complete with unsettling music in the background as he says it. |

Briefly used in Forbidden Zone during a musical number: It turns out this is because the first-time actor they hired to lip-sync was so nervous he froze up and just stood there, but the film itself has such a strange visual style that the effect fits in perfectly. To this day, Danny Elfman plays the scene for new actors as a warning to learn their lines. | |

The only company to seriously use the technique, Cambria Productions, used it to produce three "animated" series: Clutch Cargo (1959-60), Space Angel (1962) and Captain Fathom (1965). Eventually, even they abandoned the technique: their final project, the cartoon segments of The New Three Stooges (1965-66), did not use it, with the studio shutting down shortly after. | |

Robot head 790 in Lexx is a variation. The robot head's eyes and mouth are small TV screens that display a mouth played by a live actor; the eyes are fake, but are props with a camera pointed at them, not CGI. The effect was actually done live on the set; the TV screens on the prop are actual TV screens. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In "The Club", the Reject Club made a fake video of Gumball confessing to a bunch of embarrassing things. It consists of a poorly drawn picture of Gumball with a superimposed, live-action mouth wearing braces. "The Treasure" had live-action eyes superimposed on Gumball's face when he suddenly realizes he was a hypnotist in a past life. |

The Annoying Orange uses the "with eyes" variation. Though it isn't as odd-looking since the characters are mostly real pictures of household food and items. | |

This technique has been used in Courage the Cowardly Dog, though unlike some of the other examples here "comedic" isn't what they were going for. For example, the Magic Tree of Nowhere. | |

Robot Chicken did a similar take with a late-night host making fun of Emperor Palpatine. Suffice to say, the Emperor doesn't have much of a sense of humor. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Used in the opening with "Painty the Pirate", who starts the theme song. Noteworthy in that the still image is a painting of a realistic human being, which greatly reduces the Unintentional Uncanny Valley effect which normally plagues instances of this trope. Also used in the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture", where SpongeBob was discussing actors in the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie. The hot sauce drop in "Karate Choppers", which is the whole face instead of just the mouth. In "Moving Bubble Bass", when SpongeBob and Patrick find out that Bubble Bass ate the free lunches he promised to give to them for moving his stuff while they were doing said task, Patrick angrily walks up to Bubble Bass, and this happens: |

Parodied in Alan Jackson's video for "That'd Be Alright", where a crew trying to film a music video without Jackson himself tries doing this to a photo of him, and later tries digitally overlaying a different mouth over clips from previous Alan Jackson videos. | |

Doki Doki Literature Club! has a version that is completely unnerving. When Yuri pulls you into the closet on the second or third day, her eyes become disturbingly realistic. Also, when Natsuki walks in, there's a chance that her mouth will also become realistic as she spouts nonsense words. | |

Homestar Runner has an example played for sheer cringe in the Strong Bad Email "too cool". After watching a video tape made by Senor Cardgage, the characters are all "cursed for life". Rather than being haunted by a spirit or some such, they discover that whenever they say the word "tertiary", their lips become creepy photo-realistic animated lips that are clearly an attempt to invoke Synchrovox, their hands involuntarily go to their hips, and they pronounce the word in a bizarre, sassy metallic voice while wiggling from side to side. Like everything else about the episode (and some would say, the site), it Makes Just as Much Sense in Context. | |
