THis is serious business not time for memes.

Reminds me a little of some video games or stories that try to break the fourth wall to blame players or writers for their actions.

I love stuff that pokes at the fourth wall outside of the genre of comedy (with some clever exceptions).

:P

The only thing I can think of that did that, that I read was Breakfast of Champions. And there's a MLP episode where Pinkie Pie does it.

I saw that video like 2 years ago and forgot about it, somebody on another internet forum (an actual irl one) was trying to write an essay on Matrix symbolism, like how the movie related to Plato's stuff.

Yeah.

People not getting my jokes is a wee pet peeve of mine. Emphasis on the words wee and pet.

;)

:(

Maybe they do get your jokes, but feel that because it is such a guard for you, and you use that guard so often, they tire of conversation with you after a while. :)

lol.

I meant it's one of those minor nuisances that's sort of endearing on closer examination. Like the way my kitty used to scratch up my tummy when he rooted for mommy love.

Stanley Parable leans pretty damn hard on that fourth wall. Homestar Runner pretty much has no fourth wall at all. Some game that's name escapes me has you directly control a character, your actions either hiding or slowly revealing to the NPCs that the character is being "controlled" based on his behavior. It treats your being "The Player" more like possession.

A few games do that actually.

There's some fun tropes on it:
Breaking The Fourth Wall
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You
Leaning On The Fourth Wall
No Inner Fourth Wall

To clarify, it reminds me in the fashion of us being unable to see through our own fourth wall, this line of speculation.

I used to worry about that sort of thing.
