* DannyJ's Human is full of it. The villain is an animator for My Little Pony, and Celestia learns to defeat the villain by becoming a main character. Google it.

* Of course, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] is a prime example of this in ''FanFic/TurnaboutStorm'': she even ''[[ReadingAheadInTheScript reads ahead in the script]]'' to find out what to do next.

* Around 2005/2006(ish), there was a trend in the HarryPotter fandom to write fics in which the characters eventually started arguing with the narrator about what they were supposed to be doing or saying. It was even more common to not break the fourth wall in the actual fic, but instead have the characters butt in with comments in the Author's Note section at the beginning or end of the chapter.

* ImperfectMetamorphosis: In a rare totally serious example, [[PhysicalGod Yukari]] inadvertently weaponizes this against [[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination Yuuka]]]] when she reaches into her soul and generally rips things apart. [[spoiler: This leads to Yuuka periodically taking over the narration and speaking directly to the reader, as well as adjusting her myriad plans to manipulate the established narrative.]]

** The first hint towards this comes in a memorable MadnessMantra ("It can't be. Just words on a page. It's all paper. And not even real paper.") which [[spoiler: Yuuka]] keeps muttering to herself while ignoring being pummelled into the dust by Yukari.

* In ''The Best Most Awesome Radical Character EVER!'', Pinkie and Twilight defeats Raven Tw’light-Moon by breaking through the fourth wall and MSTing the story until the sheer abuse causes her to (literally) break character.

* At the end of ''FanFic/PaperMarioX 2: The Thousand Year Door'', [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] puts out a velved box out of his bag. Inside includes a ring which he uses to propose to Zelda. The very last line is Link addressing to the audience: "Can you guess what I'm going to do?"

* Utilized by AdventCrossoverCrisis; the author gets [[MarvelComics SheHulk and DeadPool]], two renowned fourth wall breakers, to address the audience directly in the opening to explain the fic in greater detail

* In Chapter 13 of Part 2 in ''FanFic/ClashOfTheElements'', after giving a eulogy to [[spoiler: Smithy, Dimentio mentions to the audience about how he will "satisfy their desire for entertainment.]] Of course, [[{{FridgeHorror}} when one takes into consideration his powers]] and that beyond the computer screen [[{{FridgeBrilliance}} would probably qualify]] [[{{OhCrap}} as another dimension for him...]]

* In ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' parody [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6988840/1/bBring_b_bMe_b_bAll_b_bYour_b_bElderly_b Bring Me All Your Elderly]], the [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Animated!Characters]] not only are aware that they are animated (and discuss it very casually), they also leave the Animated!Universe to enter the Movie!Universe, generally blame all unexplained events either on the [[WhoWritesThisCrap fanfic author]] or Creator/MNightShyamalan, read their own fanfic and comments straight off the internet, and basically suffer severe existential crises as a result. The fourth wall itself actually makes a brief appearance at one point in the story, along with a sign that says "fragile."

* In [[Fanfic/SweetiesMansion Sweetie's Mansion]] Pinkie Pie still has this ability even as a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] ghost that is out to kill Sweetie Belle. [[spoiler:Upon catching her, Sweetie gains this ability as well and unintentionally calls the author out for the direction the story is going when she's in LotusEaterMachine.]]

* One [[StarOcean Star Ocean]] fanfic titled [[HighSchoolAU Aquios High]] has one memorable scene where Cliff, under the influence of some sort of drug (I can't remember, think it might have been alcohol), explains to everyone about the authoress responsible for everything. Since the author decided to turn the fic into an actual book, it might not be online anymore.

* In the Naruto "Quiet" fanfiction by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2610647/MaliceArchangela MaliceArchangela]], partway through the first story [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6474349/1/Quiet_on_the_Golf_Course Quiet on the Golf Course]], Itachi Uchiha starts routinely breaking the fourth wall, speaking with the author to the point that the breaking happens every chapter, and allows reviewers to communicate with Uchiha.
