Breaking the fifth wall

When after an evening of Facebooking between someone and you in the same house, they break the fifth wall and come and talk to you in person.

Worse if they talk to you about things on Facebook

Oh God, No, I can hear them getting up at the same time....we're going to go into the hallway together...can I..stall? shit, too late!

Urban Dictionary told me that the "Example should include the word "Breaking the fifth wall"" and I'm fine with that.

Breaking the 'Fifth Wall'

When a character in a novel, comic/manga/magazine, television show, movie, video, etc. who is able to break all four of the previous walls moves off, through, or out of the story, screen, frame, etc. and appears in reality among the audience. The same would also work if the situation was vise versa

(While watching a Deadpool movie, Deadpool stops fighting and proceeds to walk off of the screen, and approaches behind you, Breaking the'Fifth Wall' of reality) "Hey kid, this guys getting to be a real annoyance, how about we make our thoughts touch tips real quick and see if there's a better way to beat him. Know what I mean? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, twidle in your widdle." (After sharing ideas and theories you two come up with plans and he then walks away and reappears on screen looking at the camera) "Better work kid, I have to be back at grannies with an early White Christmas party or she'll kill me." (Deadpool proceeds to look back get out from behind cover and test the plan)

*Deadpool in this instance is Breaking the 'Fifth Wall' by Disappearing from the story and reappearing by the audience, yourself, and interacted with you in person in order to share thoughts and ideas to formulate a strategy, before going back in and utilizing said strategy.*
