LordZeebmork: added more, delete or merge if you think it's not notable enough, and I know I shouldn't use one of my own as an example, but I couldn't think of a different example for that.

 This style of mouth animation is considered by many to be the most "lazy", as all it really is is a black circular or elliptical shape that appears when a person is supposed to be speaking. Occasionally it is tweened to pulse so that the shape goes from a circle to an ellipse and back again, to make it seem like the mouth is opening and closing as the person talks. The mouth color can be a different one, most likely red.

 This style is one of the most common in animutation because of its relative ease and hilarious appearance (if done correctly). Basically it consists of cutting out the mouth of a picture from the mouth to the chin, then moving this separate object up and down to make it appear as though the character is talking or singing. The actual mouth movement generally falls into one of three categories - alternating between two frames for "open" and "closed", looping an animation from "closed" to "open" at constant speed (such that once the mouth is open, it immediately closes and starts opening again), and sliding back and forth between closed and opened (sometimes varying speed to achieve lip-sync).

		+	In this style, multiple pictures of the same character, one with mouth open and one with mouth closed, are used and alternated so that the character appears to be talking. There are multiple variations on this method.
