Works drawn in a simplistic or cartoonish style may feature a piece of art, often including a person, drawn in what we would consider a much more detailed or realistic style. Almost invariably, some character will remark on how unrealistic that art is, or how bad the artist's grasp of anatomy must be-- whybe—why would anyone give people ''[[Four-Fingered Hands|five fingers]]''?
 
Largely a subtrope of [[Stylistic Self Parody]].
Line 49:
** There was also the ''Road To Multiverse'' episode where Stewie and Brian go to the real world briefly. Stewie comments on it feeling weird before pushing the button to jump to another universe. They were portrayed by a real toddler and a real dog.
* In ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Squidward is surprised at how SpongeBob is able to draw a perfect circle. When he asks how he did it, SpongeBob shows how he starts with a realistic human head, then gradually erases the features until he is left with a circle.
** Live-action humans actually do exist in the Spongebob universe, so this may not qualify as a [[Fourth Wall Portrait]].
** When Spongebob imagined himself as a lifeguard, he saw himself as a guy dressed in a Spongebob costume. Also Larry the Lobster's reflection in one episode was that of a boiled lobster.
** When Spongebob and Patrick leave the water, they're usually "portrayed" by an actual sponge and starfish in live action footage.
