I cant believe there havent been little mods put out where they say funny stuff to each other and do random poses.

Indeed. The original Half-Life had automatic lip-synch. Supposedly Source uses this as well, though I haven't heard it confirmed.

The whole SDK isn't out yet. Notably, FacePoser isn't out, so we can't make speech files or face pose animations or any of that good stuff.

However, when it does come out, I feel confident that you can count on all sorts of action-packed, humorous, or pornographic machinima levels to come out.

HL1 had automatic lipsynch, yes, but it was one-dimensional - the openness of the mouth followed the volume of the sound file.

HL2 has a face posing system with around 40 variables to control. The software can do some itself (most of the lips and mouth from speech) but no actual facial expressions.

but no actual facial expressions.

Well, of course, but it is true that Source dose auto lip-synch as well?
