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.
>>150713153You must hate the works of Tex Avery then.
>>150713153It 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.
>>150713153>are basically just actors in a playHow is being in two layers of fiction any worse than one layer
>>150713845yup
>>150715149That's not answering the question.
>>150713153>ruin immersionHow 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.
>>150715217KEK I made that edit
>>150713153Only if it's overdone, like Gumball.
>>150713236Idk 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
>>150713153it was a novel idea at the time and then it was run to the ground and stopped being funny
>>150713153I 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.
>>150715303It’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 playBut that's what they are. Just puppets dancing on strings. Slaves, created to entertain.
>>150717690We’re not supposed to take that into consideration, we’re supposed to be invested in their world.
>>150713153How often does Chowder use it in the show?
>>150713153>you're not in this episode >poofs out of existence You gotta admit anon, it was pretty funny
>>150715197I think that anon is agreeing with you.
>>150718506Why get attached to puppets that only exist to suffer?
I know Gene Wilder was apprehensive about them
>>150718506Anon, did the occasional 4th wall jokes at a chuck e cheese fuck you up into being a sourpuss about this shit?https://youtu.be/tij9hJHzK-A?si=xiA3yDCx7rILlxGW
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.
>>150713153I do too
>>150713153Filtered
>>150713845Feels fake
>>150723185It IS fake.
>>150713153Dude, I fucking miss Chowder.
>>150713153They'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.
>>150720290Kys faggot
>>150713153Why is Chowder so FAT?
>>150723202no shit. its not supposed to feel like it though
>>150723899He eats, anon. It's what he do.
>>150715303I mean Tex Avery broke the fourth wall in almost every one of his shorts, and it never feels overdone. Forth
>>150713153>Anyone else hate fourth wall breaks? Nope. Nobody else hates 'em. You are the only one in existence to feel the way you do.
>>150713153>and make it seem as if the characters are basically just actors in a play.That was already old hat when Shakespeare did itUniversal studios built their entire identity on reminding people that movies are fictional and shot on sets Clearly, its appeal is intrinsic and not just a novelty
>>150713153For shows about gags I love them, for anything else especially live action they just make me feel as if I wasted my time with the whole thing.They are in their best in shows, especially when they argue with the narrator or look at the audience and basically ask you "did you see that bullshit?" Always gets a laugh out of me.
