Is there a trope for when a show/movie/book begins that shows the narrator as a character, usually he/she would be sitting somewhere and doing something completely unrelated to the plot or story, such as watching another show, usually to get some sort of witty little retort in.
more often or not they "notice" the audience and introduce the story proper just afterwards.
