* Creator/SalvadorDali's ''Creator/MaeWest [[http://www.abcgallery.com/D/dali/dali44.html Lips Sofa.]]''

* ''Manga/SoulHunter'': used as a gag on a secondary character who's usually TheStoic: when Kou Hiko's sworn brothers are complaining about Seiki's too spicy cooking, said member says nothing but sports humongous, red swollen lips with a pained expression. Played straight later with gonky female Madonna, a morbidly obese ogress of a woman with giant lips.

When applied to black characters, this carries a cargo of UnfortunateImplications. Exaggerated, oversized lips are a key element of {{blackface}}, so having this trait appear on a black-coded character can come across as racist minstrelsy whether intentional or not. This was common in [[TheThirties '30s']] and [[TheThirties '40s']] animated cartoons, which often used allusions to MinstrelShows as a ParentalBonus. See also AshFace for a similar gag.

* Manga/MyLoveStory: Takeo has exaggeratedly thick lips, and they're part of the reason why he's considered a {{Gonk}} by most girls. But Yamato and Ai find them sexy.

* The Squaresoft Famicom RPG ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer'' was [[NoExportForYou never released outside of Japan]]. If you're wondering why, it may have something to do with Jim, one of Tom's companions, being portrayed as an ''ungodly'' offensive [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Square_Tom_Sawyer_screenshot_blackface.png caricature]], with a set of lips roughly half the size of his own head.

[[CutawayGag Cut to]] a European castle where [[RealJokeName a man withe enormous lips]] gets the bill and demands to know "Who's the wise guy?"

* WesternAnimation/TeenTitans: In one episode, Robin is forced to take a villain's bratty teenage daughter to her prom, or else the villain would let his swarm of mutant moths overrun the city. During the evening, the girl attempts to kiss Robin, who now tells her his teammates captured her father and stopped his plan. The girl reveals she has the device that will release the moths. Believing that he now has no other choice but to let her kiss him, the girl begins to pucker up, causing her lips to become fuller and red. In the next shot, the girl's lips, as well as her face, becomes even more toony and gag-looking. Thankfully, Robin blocks the kiss with his finger, causing her lips to revert back to normal.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Sandy has to battle her way through Karate Island in order to save [=SpongeBob=].

* Gorgeous Gal in the ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'' cartoon ''WesternAnimation/AFineFeatheredFrenzy''. Since she is a bird there is a lipstick outline around her beak that can be viewed during a close-up. When she puckers up her lips are like a human's lips for comedic effect. At one point Gorgeous Gal appears in a bath and playfully blows bubbles at Woody and her lips are about the size of his face. Another time she rushes to kiss him with the full force of her lips and misses, kissing the wall. The lipstick mark she leaves on the wall is almost the size of Woody's entire body. Soon after that, she spots him while she is on a couch wearing a red low cut red dress, says "Hi baby," closes her eyes and gives him a giant sized duck face inviting him to kiss her. Woody doesn't smooch her enormous puckered lips and runs. Whenever Gorgeous Gal does manage to kiss Woody her lips are shown to be much bigger than the Woodpecker's as well.

* WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa once helped a girl get bigger lips so her "duckface" selfies can get more likes. Eventually, her lips are so big she gets mistaken for a duck and ducks start following her around.

* ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'': King Gator, the giant alligator that Charlie and Anne-Marie encounter in the New Orleans sewers, has massive lips. This is where the "Big Lipped" part of BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes from.

* ''Animation/NanaMoon'': Among Moon Haven's wildlife are giant, bipedal fish with exaggeratedly large lips. The other character run away from these fish whenever they see them because the fishes' only instinct is to chase down any other creature they see and use their lips to kiss them.

* PlayedForHorror (and [[BlackComedy nasty laughs]]) in ''Film/Leprechaun3'', where a slender, aging casino worker wishes for a more voluptuous body and [[JackassGenie the Leprechaun grants her one that keeps going]] until she [[PopGoesTheHuman bursts.]] Her lips, just before she dies, give a whole new meaning to [[https://scarina.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/duckface.jpg "duckface".]]

Sometimes, this is done to mock a character for being vain or obsessed with cosmetic surgery, or to sexualize an otherwise unattractive character.
