In a play, if a character is 'breaking the fourth wall', who are they talking to?
Correct answer: The audience

I never knew that!

ngc1952, I could be wrong here but: an aside isn't necessarily breaking the 4th wall, it's a kind of throwaway comment or talking to oneself, kind of. whereas breaking the wall is specifically talking to the audience and in a way acknowledging their existence, which isn't the case with an aside.

Mel Brooks' film Blazing Sandals uses it repeatedly.

Smokey and the Bandit uses it. Burt Reynolds looks right into the camera and smiles. Great scene.
Michael
She-Hulk is famous for doing that also
