Can someone list all the instances of the show Breaking the Fourth Wall?

It doesn't really do that.

The closest thing it has is in Weirdmaggedon part 1 with the voice actors.

In Season 2 Episode 15: Dipper: This should take up the next 21 minutes.

There's some fourth wall breakage in the Lost Legends comic (in which Schmebulock is One Of Us), but in the show proper it's at most just Leaning on the Fourth Wall (like everything with Ducktective) or Lampshade Hangings.

Do you guys think it would have been anticlimactic of the Zodiac had worked in the last episode? Like if Stan and Ford hadn't started fighting and broken it up?

It would've been "better" than the reversal even with the explanation.

It wouldn't have been anticlimactic, but it would've been a lot more... standard than this series tries. At the very least, it would need to be replotted so that getting everyone together was a lot harder than it was.

If the Zodiac had worked they probably wouldn't have 'killed' Bill but banished him for a long,long time,which is probably what would have happened if they were doing another season,as it was they were on final season and Bill was defeated for good

[up] Tell that to the theorists :D many people theorize Bill can come back esp. with the "AXOLOTL my time has come to burn" message, the statue and Cipherhunt, and Grunkle Stan's memories coming back.

I see Bill like computer virus/rogue program in reality,Stan defeating him in the mind meant he was deleted permanently

Remember someone here mentioning tie-ins hints at his return as well, albeit in a different form.

[up] Yeah Dipper and Mabel meet Axolotl and (in verse) he says pretty much "yeah if Bill is ever about to die all he has to do is call my name and he will be reborn in a different form and in a different time."

Many to this say "Wait but he did, that backwards message before Stan punched him was AXOLOTL my time has come to burn I invoke the ancient power that I may return! So he is coming back!"

The issue with zodiac Is that it feel Ford and stan grab the conflict ball at the most awkard Time, it feel forced

It wouldn't exactly surprise me if they tried to bring back an earlier version of Bill, one that didn't make a deal with the Axolotl. Sure, trying to warp all of reality and become a Dimension Lord over this dimension by his past self would potentially run into a paradox or ten (requiring that he be stopped to preserve history), but Bill isn't exactly the type to worry about causality (heck, it wouldn't surprise me if Bill's past self tried to break causality in order to prevent his defeat).

I could see Bill returning to an earlier version definitely,depowered and yet still a trickster,but nowhere near as powerful as he once was,maybe even relatively sane

According to Alex Hirsch's tweet, Disney+ apparently edited out the symbol on Stan's fez. Oddly enough, it's still on the thumbnail.

[up] They edited out the symbol...? why? So they can have a Plot Hole later when we find out why that random symbol meant something?

Maybe they thought it looked like an Islamic crescent moon, reinforced by the idea that a fez is a traditional Middle Eastern clothing item?

It doesn't look that much like a crescent moon, but I have no idea why else they removed it. Especially since it's a plot relevant symbol.

So what would take its place, just the fez itself?
