1'''Basic Trope''': A character [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] by chastising the audience for enjoying something they shouldn't.
2* '''Straight''': Amazing Girl calls out the audience for enjoying the violence [[DracoInLeatherPants Emperor Evulz]] brings forth in her comic book series.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Amazing Girl chews out the audience for enjoying the violence, gore, and [[PerverseSexualLust the sexual lust]] [[BeautyEqualsGoodness for her beautiful figure]].
5** Amazing Girl's defining trait is calling out the audience for liking everything that is, [[FelonyMisdemeanor by definition]], immoral.
6** After she defeats Emperor Evulz, Amazing Girl gains MediumAwareness and finds out that she's in a comic book. Upon learning this, she [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou goes out into the real world to attack her fanbase]], giving them a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech brutal dressing-down]] because buying her comic books will force new evils and forms of suffering to emerge in her world for as long as her franchise stays alive.
7* '''Downplayed''':
8** Amazing Girl pleads with the audience to stop enjoying the violence and sexual themes of her comic book series.
9** The fourth wall tongue lashing is rather vague at who it is aimed at, either the audience or the author.
10* '''Justified''': The series is an anti-violence AuthorTract made by a disgruntled author who finds the genre/setting they're deconstructing morally reprehensible.
11* '''Inverted''':
12** The author has Amazing Girl praising the audience for enjoying the [[AnAesop values the comic book provides for real life situations]].
13** The audience bashes Amazing Girl for being unbearably moralizing, ripping apart its [[PlotHole other flaws]] as well.
14** Amazing Girl [[RageAgainstTheAuthor calls out the author]] for the [[CosmicPlaything crap she has to endure on a regular basis. ]]
15* '''Subverted''': Amazing Girl calls out the readers... actually, [[FourthWallPsych she's calling out her sidekick for staring at her.]]
16* '''Double Subverted''': Said sidekick is representative of the audience: [[ThisLoserIsYou a fat, lazy, no-good nerd manchild who devotes all his time to useless trivia and not doing anything except enjoying puerile stories meant for kids.]]
17* '''Parodied''': Amazing Girl is a shrill harpy who bashes on the audience for... not brushing their teeth, liking things other people don't like (specifically, things she and the "author" don't like), and is generally a gigantic, moralizing, sanctimonious elitist.
18* '''Zig Zagged''': Amazing Girl's issues swerve between reveling in the violence and calling the reader out for it.
19* '''Averted''': Violence is played straight.
20* '''Enforced''': The author had took the MoralGuardians' advice, and in the next episode, he has Amazing Girl point out the things the audiences has been enjoying.
21* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, the writer wants to make us look bad, eh?"
22* '''Invoked''': ???
23* '''Exploited''': ???
24* '''Defied''': Feeling that the audience might stop watching his show, the author doesn't use Amazing Girl to chastise the audience for enjoying the immorality in the series.
25* '''Discussed''': "Is this going to be another story where the author gets angry at us for liking what he's writing?"
26* '''Conversed''': ???
27* '''Deconstructed''': The audience doesn't appreciate being scolded or talked down to, so they start [[TakeThat bashing]] the Amazing Girl comic books in turn for being "so preachy and demeaning" to its target audience. Essentially, [[TakeThatAudience the audience]] [[RussianReversal is giving the author a massive "screw you"]] [[WriterOnBoard for being so sanctimonious]] and hypocritical. As a result, they stop buying Amazing Girl comic books and the publisher loses so much money, that it goes bankrupt and closes down.
