Line 154:
** Done in the episode "A Dog And Pony Show". Rarity starts crying after one of the Diamond Dogs calls her a mule, and in the middle of her rant she grabs the "camera".
** Spike also indulges in this occasionally, like in "Bridle Gossip" with his [[Aside Glance]], or in "Lesson Zero" with his interrupting of Twilight Sparkle's [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]]. He rolls one up like a window shade and pops another like a balloon.
** Ahem, '''Discord'''. His godlike [[Reality Warping]] powers extend to the Fourth Wall, meaning he can not only ignore it and address the viewers as easily as he does the Mane Cast, he can manipulate it, potentially [[Genre Shift| changing the whole genre of the show]], changing the art style to anime animation, live action puppets, or applying the [[Roger Rabbit Effect]] with ease. He can fast-forward or rewind the story, rewrite captions (in comic book adaptations), and even once made a side trip to the ''original'' version of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' (from way back in 1984). Plus, much like the Genie in Disney's ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', he tends to make jokes with pop culture references that, by all logic, should be unknown in Equestria, like [[Bob Ross]] and ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]'' . But hey, such are the ways of Chaos.
* There is a scene in one of the [[Veggie Tales]] movies that may not count but here's what it's like: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything theme plays, followed by a record scratch. This may count as [[Painting the Fourth Wall]].
* Another example of the cartoon series ''Taz-Mania''. As mentioned before, it sometimes does this; for example, in ''Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty,'' Kitty breaks the fourth wall by pulling down a poster that reads, "I'll Be Back", which is set to take place in ''Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty Part II''.
