Line 3:
** In ''[[Airplane!]]'' after Elaine tells Ted she can't see him anymore, he turns to the camera and says, "What a pisser."
** In ''[[Top Secret]]'', Hillary tells Nick about how she grew up on a tropical island a la ''[[The Blue Lagoon]],'' with accompanying parody flashbacks. She ends by saying, "I know. It all sounds like some bad movie." at which point both characters [[Aside Glance|stop and slowly turn to face the audience]].
**** I was fortunate enough to see this movie in a theater with a friend who couldn't resist shouting out, "It ''is'' a bad movie!," only to have the characters on screen stop and stare at him. Priceless.
*** After Nick Rivers performs in the [[Malt Shop]], Albert Potato turns to the camera and says "This is not Mel Tormé!"
* A brief example with Kurt Russell in the ''Death Proof'' portion of ''[[Grindhouse]]''. [http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m263/sdwrenn/russel-dp.jpg Anybody who's seen it knows that this doesn't bode well].
Line 124:
* ''[[Austin Powers]] 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me''. Basil tells Austin that he should [[MST3K Mantra|stop worrying about]] [[Time Travel]] complexities and just enjoy himself, then turns to the audience and says “That goes for you all too!” and Austin says "Yes".
* ''[[The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother|The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother]]''. Albert Finney (playing an opera attendee) turns and says "Is this rotten or wonderfully brave?" to the camera.
* In ''[[Bedtime Stories (film)|Bedtime Stories]]'' the narrator breaks the fourth wall near the end of the movie, asking the main character if this is really how he's gonna have the story end.
* Frank in ''[[Maniac (film)|Maniac]]'' addresses the viewer during one of his insane ramblings.
* In the ''[[Wayne's World]]'' movies, Wayne frequently addresses the audience to provide exposition or commentary on the action. At one point in the first film, he goes on a lengthy tirade about his problems, to the point where the camera tries to get away from him and has to be coaxed back.
Line 147:
* [[Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]: Uses this in a very unsubtle way. The nostalgia critic gets suitably annoyed when reviewing the film. (See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IlbxUbR_us4#t=252s Here])
* In the [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] version of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'', when The Queen/Witch says that there may be an antidote to the Sleeping Death, it looks like she's talking to the audience.
* In the credits of ''[[Spice World]]'' has the girls doing this.
