1	'''Basic Trope''': A character appears to [[BreakingTheFourthWall break the fourth wall]], but has an in-universe explanation.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob looks directly into the camera and addresses the audience, then Alice replies from behind the camera.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob looks into the camera and says things that explicitly state that he's talking to the audience, but Alice replies to him from behind the camera.
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** Bob says something at the camera that might apply to the audience, and is quickly replied to by Alice.
6	** Bob's voice seems like a voiceover for the audience, until we cut to him clearly speaking to Alice.
7	* '''Justified''': The point of view is first-person for that moment, but it wasn't explicitly mentioned beforehand.
8	* '''Inverted''': Bob says something completely reasonable in-universe while looking in the general direction of the camera, then says something along the lines of "EY! You behind the screen. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you."
9	* '''Subverted''': Alice replied to Bob's statement, but he shoes her away "I'm not talking to you" then reassures the audience he was in-fact addressing them.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': The camera then pans around to a room full of his adoring in-universe fans; he's performing in a ShowWithinAShow.
11	* '''Parodied''': Bob does a scene in which he does a ScreenTap, addresses the audience, complains to the crew, plays with the subtitles, hides BehindTheBlack, and any other FourthWall trope you can think of, and some contrived explanation crops-up every time to prove each action was in-universe.
12	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob does something that may involve the fourth wall. It is never explained whether he just involved the audience.
13	* '''Averted''': Nobody ever even looks at the camera.
14	* '''Enforced''': ???
15	* '''Lampshaded''': "Bob is acting like there are people 'out there' again."
16	* '''Invoked''': Bob has MediumAwareness and deliberately leaves the audience wondering whether he was talking to them, knowing that the author won't kill him off with questions like that unanswered.
17	* '''Exploited''': ???
18	* '''Defied''': Bob turns to the camera and starts to speak but Alice calls him back.
19	* '''Discussed''': "I guess they hate jokes that involves the fourth wall."
20	-->'''[[FourthWallObserver Alice]]''': For a second, I thought you saw them, too.
21	-->'''Bob''': [[AudienceWhatAudience Saw who?]]
22	* '''Conversed''': "For a second there, I thought he was talking to us."
23	* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob tells the show's funniest jokes in this manner.
