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 with a masculine voice - 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.

More accurate to the actual dialogue (erm, monologue) in the ad.

* 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.

!!The commercials featuring the Dairy Queen Lips contain the following tropes:
* 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.
* AnimateBodyParts: A floating mouth, in this case. The fact that they don't have eyes, nostrils, a face in general, or a brain is lampshaded on separate occasions.
* DramaticThunder: The lips compare the deals from DQ's value menu to being "all powerful" and do an EvilLaugh before almost being struck by thunder.
* CameraAbuse:
** 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.
--->'''DQ Lips:''' Right after I go to the dentist...
** 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 holds the last note for long enough and at a high enough pitch that it cracks the screen.
* EyesOnAStalk: Phil the alien has two eyeballs on stalks.

* GlassShatteringSound: The DQ Lips sings the Kit-Kat jingle and hits a high note that causes the screen to crack. The cracks remain visible for the rest of the ad.
* 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."
* HilariousOuttakes: 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.
* ShoutOut: The lips are amazed at the Peanut Buster Parfait having a low price and muse "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz If only I had a brain...]]"
* 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.
