** In one episode, a character (arguing that everything is plagiarized from everything else) mentions that Chief Wiggum is a ripoff of Edward G. Robinson... which is kind of true.

** One episode has (Sideshow) Mel narrating. Just before the first commercial break, he says "And so Lisa entered the world of show business, and it is indeed a business, as you'll find in 3... 2... 1..."

** Done in a (faux) [[Nightmare Fuel]]-inducing way in [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|"Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores"]], a segment of one of their Halloween specials in which giant mock-ups of famous advertising characters come to life and almost succeed in destroying Springfield. At the end of the story, after the creatures have been vanquished, [[Kent Brockman News|Kent Brockman]] turns to his TV audience (and thus, to us) and warns that "the next ad you see could kill you and all of your loved ones!" Homer then casually steps in front of Kent and says: [[Oh Crap|"We'll be right back."]]

* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''. Most apparent in the episodes with Bat-Mite. Its comparatively minor, maybe subtle even, until the series finale. The plot of which centers on Bat-Mite trying to force the show to [[Jump the Shark]] to get it canceled and make room for a [[Darker and Edgier]] Batman show. EVERYBODY breaks the fourth wall in that one. Aquaman's temporary new voice actor even breaks ''character''.
