Line 29:
* More than once in ''[[Naruto]]'', the title character is described as being the sort of person who could never be the main character of anything. They are, of course, absolutely wrong.
** Also, there's one point in the manga where Naruto comes running into a fight late yelling, "The main character of a story usually shows up in these types of situations and instantly kicks the enemy's ass!" Naturally, he then proceeds to be on the receiving end of said ass-kicking.
** Jiraiya having one a non-pornographic book about a ninja [[Determinator]] {{spoiler|whose name is Naruto (which the character of the series was named after by his parents after they read the book)}} is fourth wall-leaning enough, but a couple of pages of chapter 448 [https://web.archive.org/web/20100413083640/http://forums.narutofan.com/showpost.php?p=30487214&postcount=104 which were only in the volume release] has part of Naruto's speech to {{spoiler|Nagato}} nearly has him talking about himself as if he was fully aware that he was a fictional character, and all of this is done in a ''completely serious fashion''.
* When some of the members of ''[[Genshiken]]'' graduate, they have a discussion about where the story could go now that several of the characters have left—except it turns out they're actually talking about [[Show Within a Show]] ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'', which is doing a graduation story at the same time.
* During a [[Breather Episode]] in ''[[Code Geass]]'', Milly remarks "Sometimes you just get these little [[Filler]] moments in life...and that's fine." This could also be seen as a ''[[Take That]]'' toward the fandom, which had a tendency to gripe whenever [[School Festival]] episodes came up.
Line 469:
* [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/like-a-fable/ This] strip of ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' starts with [[Conversational Troping]] between Shelly and Heather, and ends with Shelly asking who the audience is in this scenario while looking directly at the "camera."
* Discussed (sort of) in [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1910/ this] ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'' strip {{spoiler|wherein God notices the fact that time passes in panels and mentions it, then when questioned about what he meant, insists that he doesn't know and neither should T-Rex}}.
* [http://nekothekitty.smackjeeves.com/comics/940008/693-action-drama-suspense/Neko the Kitty]{{Dead link}} occasionally talks to a pretend audience in-comic. In later strips he also appears outside of the comic panels to deliver an additional sign-off gag.
* In ''[[Question Duck]]'', when the duck and main human character return with [[Wild Hair]] after [[Schedule Slip]], [http://questionduck.smackjeeves.com/comics/1387643/277/ another character asked where they had been.] (This is only the third time in this strip that someone other than the duck has spoken.)
* Nadine in ''[[Demolition Squad]]'' does this from time to time, pointing out that she has completed the SAME year in school three or four times over, that she is an unrelated teenager below the age of majority freeloading at the principal characters' apartment for no clearly explained reason, that he would do well not to mention this is a job interview, that she has been wearing the same outfit for several years, and so on.
