* From ThatGuyWithTheGlasses:
** TheNostalgiaCritic sometimes uses his gun to shoot characters inside the movie or cartoon he's reviewing. He's also called characters from movies on the phone and had direct conversations. Usually the phone voice is either from the actor who played the Critic or his brother, but the Critic once conversed with stock footage of ChristianBale's rant on the set of ''{{Terminator}} Salvation'', used in a way to imply he was hating on the newer Batman movies.

** TheNostalgiaChick's review of DonBluth's ''{{Anastasia}}'' was repeatedly interrupted by phone calls from the characters (and [[InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou Yakov Smirnov]]) to complain. Rasputin in particular wouldn't leave her alone. Although Rasputin was later revealed to have [[TheNostalgiaCritic Chicago caller ID]], so it may have been an in-character joke.
** [[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] has also occasionally faced off against characters from the comic books he's reviewed. Neutro was one of the first.
*** Along with characters from the franchise fighting him as above, a ''SilentHill'' fog started engulfing [[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]'s [[strike:ruhm]] room while he was reviewing InNameOnly comics written by Scott Ciencin.

* While [[ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] doesn't necessarily enter the games he's reviewing, his AuthorAvatar almost always interacts with characters from the game, like getting sliced in half by [[GodOfWar Kratos]], having a drink with [[RyuGaGotoku Akiyama]], or giving Batman a [[ItMakesSenseInContext playful tousle]].

** [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] has occasionally encountered characters from the works he's reviewed. In fact, in the conclusion of his FinalFantasyVIII review, Dr. Insano hired Squall to kill Spoony.

There are a lot of comedic reviewers of video games, movies, cartoons and other media. Especially reviewers who mock whatever they are reviewing. Some take it a step further, though, and actually enter the work in question, or interact with its characters! This is BreakingTheReviewersWall. Instead of BreakingTheFourthWall and talking to the audience, which they're already doing, they break another wall - the wall separating the reviewer from the work reviewed.

This is not simply berating the fictional character. In order to be this trope, the reviewer has to directly interact with the work in question, either by the character exiting the work to meet the reviewer, the reviewer entering the work, or some other direct interaction.

--> ''To shed light on some subjects, I approached [[TheHero Scott O'Conner]] for an interview. To do this, I hooked up to my NES console using a fork, a coaxial cable and a colander (illustration below). Thus, I was able to upload my thoughts into the Kabuki cartridge. '''Warning!''' Since a NES cartridge has the storage capacity of 32 kilobytes, the sheer amount of raw data your brain contains could easily exceed the max limit. Never try this yourself, as your personality could be scattered all around limbo if the cartridge circuitry is scorched. SuperMarioBros. 3 is impossible to enter, as the game already fills up the entire 32Kb limit.''

* TheGamingPixie enters the video games she reviews or has them spill over to the real world. For example, when reviewing ''{{Shadowgate}}'', she enters the game itself and the narration changes to include her sarcastic musings on the game's flaws.
