* ''Film/Deadpool2016'' adapts Deradpool's comic book trait to acknowledge movie tropes, including one scene in which he breaks the fourth wall during a flashback scene in which he broke the fourth wall, then informs the audience, "...that's like sixteen walls!" In another scene, he provides a GoryDiscretionShot by ''physically pushing the camera aside'', which suggests an even deeper level of interaction than all the other comments -- he's not just aware he's being watched, he can reach out and touch the camera!

* In ''Fanfic/MassEffectTheEquestrianEquation'', this occurs in-universe, with Pinkie Pie being the only pony aware that [[spoiler:Equestria is a simulation]].
* ''MediumAwareness/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' - Yes, [[Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries this fanfic]] has its own page now.



* Played with in ''FanFic/AkatsukiKittenPhoenixCorporationOverhaul'', where literally ''every'' major character is aware that they are in a fanfiction, though only two of the canon characters can actually hear through the fourth wall. Of the thirteen [[OriginalCharacter OCs]] introduced so far, eleven work directly for the author, and one showed up for only a single chapter. The last is the girl that should be the main character, and is functionally the OnlySaneMan for the entire story.
* After the first chapter and a half of the ''Fanfic/AllGuardsmenParty'', the origin of the series as a Dark Heresy campaign is generally ignored. But an occasional line is thrown in. For example, the narrator points out that fighting in vacuum and zero-G felt like the party had lost exactly 10% of their ballistic skills, and capitalizes the word "Obsession" (also a gaming term) while describing Aimy and Twitch.
* In ''FanFic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'', Nova Shine shows that he is aware of both the fact that he is in a story (he outright refers to the "backstory part of the chapter" at one point), and the fact that the first several chapters are undergoing a rewrite (On Twilight mentioning that mastering a spell will take time and effort, he notes that he mastered it in a day in the original version of the chapter).
* Tamaki, in ''Fanfic/TheBankCalledYourRealityCheckBounced'', subverts the trope by being perfectly well convinced that they are in an anime; he addresses the audience directly (leading other characters to wonder who he's talking to) and mentions having enough time in "this episode" for something. Kyoya, however, eventually explains that they are actually in a fan fiction, and he's apparently been aware of it the entire time.
* ''WebVideo/{{Blixemi}}'': "What You Can't See" features Jaypaw not only complaining about the fact that everyone is singing, but about how annoying the background music is and how the audience not leaving only means he's stuck hearing it longer. It ends with him frustratedly demanding the music stop.



* ''MediumAwareness/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' - Yes, [[Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries this fanfic]] has its own page now.
* In the [[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} Contractually Obligated Chaos series]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} Prince Vince]] is not only aware that they're all in a bunch of stories, ''he's following the author on Website/{{Tumblr}}'' and reads each chapter as it's released. It's actually a plot point - he keeps tabs on the heroes by monitoring the story and sends help when he can. In the installment ''Bug Princess and the Seven Months'', he interrupts the conversation at one point to politely inquire which of those present is the POV character for the chapter.
* Monokuma in ''FanFic/DespairsLastResort'' is aware that he's in a fanfiction and comments on how they need to keep the story rated T.
* In ''[[Fanfic/FullCircleOddSquad Full Circle]]'', Olympia is aware that she's in a fanfiction and takes potshots at the author while also trying to convince her fellow agents that they too are in a fanfiction that's terribly written. Of course, since ''Series/OddSquad'' as a show is full of MediumAwareness, it makes perfect sense, but the most hilarious thing about Olympia taking up this role is that there has actually been [[Recap/OddSquadS2E11ExtremeCakeoverAJobWellUndone one instance]] where she directly speaks to the audience and everyone else has an AudienceWhatAudience reaction.
* The fanfiction ''Fanfic/{{Human}}'' is essentially built on this trope - the titular character claims to be an [[EldritchAbomination Elder God]] in possession of eldritch knowledge (which turns out to be that Equestria is fictional).
* In ''Fanfic/MassEffectTheEquestrianEquation'', this occurs in-universe, with Pinkie Pie being the only pony aware that [[spoiler:Equestria is a simulation]].



* [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] can apparently hear the narrator in ''Super FanFic/PaperMarioX'', as when he was insulted by said narrator, he claimed that he could hear the narration.



*** To be fair, fans have often suggested that the Iron Will thing was Pinkie Pie thinking "He can see them too!?"
** The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' explains that Pinkie has this because [[spoiler:she ''is'' G3 Pinkie Pie and the SoleSurvivor of an apocalypse that universe, during which she became this trope]]. After a SplitPersonalityMerge, she becomes somewhat more sane and is capable of ''weaponizing'' this trope.
