Line 34:

** Bart and the Waco Kid attend a premiere of the movie ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''.

*** At the end of which, they [[Riding Into the Sunset|ride off into the sunset]], only to get off their horses and into a waiting limousine.

* In ''[[Ferris ~~Buellers~~ Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', at many points (most specifically the beginning and the end) Ferris talks directly to the audience while setting up the stereo and moving model in his bed.

* In ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', at many points (most specifically the beginning and the end) Ferris talks directly to the audience while setting up the stereo and moving model in his bed.

* In both ''[[Ferris ~~Buellers~~ Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'' and ''[[Ladyhawke]]'', [[Matthew Broderick]] makes personal, aside comments to the audience.

* In a rare non-comedy example, there is a moment in ''[[Fight Club]]'' when Tyler Durden begins monologuing: "You are not the car you drive. You are not the contents of your wallet..." By the end of the monologue ("You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.") he is looking directly into the camera, and the film shakes and appears to come loose (the sprocket holes are visible). Also an allusion to his job as a projectionist, and habit of tampering with the films. {{spoiler|As he does at the end of Fight Club}}.

** Then Tyler again, later: "Ah. Flashbacsinging to a crowded audience (though, somehow, we, the audience, see them too). [[Fan Wank|This would explain]] his possible [[Break the Fourth Wall]] abilities.

Line 138:

* In the 1953 version of [[House of Wax]] there is a hawker playing with paddleballs ushering people in to see the titular building. As he interacts with the crowd, he eventually turns to directly interact with the camera and addresses people in the movie theater as well ("...Well there's someone with a bag of popcorn!").

** Further, in a [[Moment of Awesome]], is the fact that the original House of Wax was released in 3D, so not only is the crier speaking directly to the viewers, but his warnings that he might accidentally hit someone in the audience with one of the bouncing paddleballs becomes a very clever use of 3D.

* In a segment at the end of the spoof movie ''[[Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth]]'', blurbs start appearing informing you about bits of random trivia, and parts of the production. The film crew is even acknowledged in the [[Where Are They Now Epilogue]].

* In the 1978 ''[[Superman (Film)|Superman]]'' film and all its sequels, the final scene always shows Superman looking and smiling at the audience as he flies away.

** In an earlier scene, Clark and Lois are in danger of being mugged, but disaster is averted when the gun seemingly misses her and the crook dashes off. Clark collapses, but it soon turns out he only fainted in shock from the gunshot. When Lois turns away, annoyed, Clark opens his hand to reveal he caught the bullet before it hit her and gives the audience his classic "Just between you and me" sort of smile.
