You know how his mouth is like overlayed over with a real mouth? What is this effect called? How is it done?

I couldn't find a normal speed video, but it is the same thing.
The effect is used in this Nalts video at 1:05

Thanks!
I don't think it has a specific name. There's some really old "cartoon" that pioneered the effect. Can't remember the name.
You need to film yourself saying the lines, then use some editing software with a marquee or "cookie cutter" function to cut out just a little oval round your mouth and overlay it on whatever you're animating. It would look all kinds of creepy on minifigs.
