Fourth Wall
Information
Type	Fiction medium
Location	Wall between the real and fictional worlds

The Fourth Wall is an imaginary wall setting the viewers, readers, or players and the characters apart in any type of media. The characters are sometimes able to break the wall and communicate with the viewer/reader/player, point out their existence within their respective piece of media, or interact with something outside of their fictional world.

There are numerous instances in the SMG4 channel where the fourth wall is broken.
