Line 2:
'''Basic Trope''': One character knows about the fourth wall and [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|acknowledge it]], but no one else does.
* '''Straight''': Bob is the only character on ''Tropertown'' to know about the fourth wall. He regularly [[Aside Glance|glances at the audience]] and will say things like, [[Only Sane Man|"See what I have to put up with here?"]]
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob will argue with the writer, yell at the cameraman for focusing on [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|Alice's]] [[My Eyes Are Up Here|boobs]] all the time, and occasionally venture out into the audience. Alice, Carrie, and Daniel all remain oblivious to this.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob is the only character to make [[Aside Glance|aside glances.]]
* '''Justified''':
Line 11:
* '''Double Subverted''': But that was [[All Just a Dream]]. Bob sighs and says, [[Lampshade Hanging|"Shoulda seen]] ''[[Genre Savvy|that]]'' [[Deadpan Snarker|one coming.]]
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': His friends learn about the fourth wall... but that was [[All Just a Dream]]... [[Or Was It a Dream?|but then Alice glances at the audience and says, "Are you gonna tell him, or should I?"]]
* '''Averted''':
** No one knows about the fourth wall.
Line 17:
* '''Enforced''': "Fourth wall jokes are funny, but we don't want to overdo it."
* '''Lampshaded''':
{{quote| '''[[Butt Monkey|Alice:]]''' How come these things always happen to ''me''?<br />
'''Bob:''' The fans [[The Scrappy|don't like you all that much]] so the writer is trying to make up for it.<br />
'''Alice:''' What?<br />
Line 24:
* '''Defied''': "No! No more of these bizarre rants to nobody in paricular! It's just plain freaky, man!"
* '''Discussed''':
{{quote| '''Carly:''' I'm getting worried about Bob.<br />
'''Daniel:''' Yeah, the way he talks to no one in particular and glances at random objects is really weird. }}
* '''Conversed''': "Poor Bob, being the only one who can see us."
