Anyone else hate fourth wall breaks? They’re rarely funny, ruin immersion, and make it seem as if the characters are basically just actors in a play.
>>
>>150713153
You must hate the works of Tex Avery then.
>>
>>150713153
It depends on what you're putting them in. If it's something that's already just collection of gags, it's fine as long as it's funny. But something trying to do a cohesive story shouldn't pull that, especially if they wait until they're really far into said story to start doing so.

>are basically just actors in a play
How is being in two layers of fiction any worse than one layer
>>
>>150713845
yup
>>
>>150715149
That's not answering the question.

>ruin immersion
How would you know that if you haven't done that to a woman?

it is being done more often than would be tasteful and it's alot better when it IS done that it isn't extremely obvious.
>>
>>150715217
KEK I made that edit
>>
>>150713153
Only if it's overdone, like Gumball.
>>
>>150713236
Idk Rick & Morty made it work, the people offended by its fourth-wall breaks just take the show too seriously 24/7 when it's always struck a balance of drama and comedy
>>
>>150713153
it was a novel idea at the time and then it was run to the ground and stopped being funny
>>
>>150713153
I only hate them when they address the audience. It's okay if it's meta and the characters don't fully see it. Deadpool type shit bothers the fuck out of me.
>>
>>150715303
It’s permissible to do that in a show like Gumball since it isn’t a serious cartoon to begin with.
>>
Foie Gras is best character from Chowder

>>150713153
>make it seem as if the characters are basically just actors in a play

But that's what they are. Just puppets dancing on strings. Slaves, created to entertain.
>>
>>150717690
We’re not supposed to take that into consideration, we’re supposed to be invested in their world.
>>
>>150713153
How often does Chowder use it in the show?

You gotta admit anon, it was pretty funny
>>
>>150715197
I think that anon is agreeing with you.
>>
>>150718506
Why get attached to puppets that only exist to suffer?
>>
I know Gene Wilder was apprehensive about them
>>
>>150718506
Anon, did the occasional 4th wall jokes at a chuck e cheese fuck you up into being a sourpuss about this shit?

This is what the death of Religion looks like: People stripped off of their holy books trying to find meaning in cheap entertainment.
Unironically go to church so you can stop taking the moving pictures too seriously.

>>150719610
Yeah It is.

I do too

Feels fake

>>150723185
It IS fake.

>>150713153
Dude, I fucking miss Chowder.
>>
>>150713153
They're fine in very small doses. Never a fan of series relying on it so much that there's a loss of sincerity in the writing and characters are reduced to being a mouthpiece on the quality of the show.
>>
>>150720290
Kys faggot
>>
>>150713153
Why is Chowder so FAT?
>>
>>150723202
no shit. its not supposed to feel like it though
>>
>>150723899
He eats, anon. It's what he do.
>>
>>150715303
I mean Tex Avery broke the fourth wall in almost every one of his shorts, and it never feels overdone. Forth
