5th Wall Breaking

When a character in a movie, show, or other media says something along the lines of "You think this is a movie? Well, it's not.", saying they aren't in a movie when they really are.
"Your life isn't a movie, James.", Is a good example of 5th wall breaking, said the teacher

Breaking the Fourth Wall 

"The fourth wall" is an expression stemming from the world of theater. In most modern theater design, a room will consist of three physical walls, as well as a an imaginary fourth that serves to separate the world of the characters from that of the audience.

In fiction, "breaking the fourth wall" often means having a character become aware of their fictional nature. This can range from your character advising you to "Press X" in a tutorial all the way to Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and mentioning the other games you've been playing. However, the most direct violation of the fourth wall would be a character openly acknowledging they are in a video game or even directly speaking to you, the player, instead of to your character.
(Jak 3:)

Monk: This isn't a game!
-Jak and Daxter look toward the player with confused expressions-

(Dragon Age 2:)

Ghyslain (when a quest from him is available:) Does no one see this exclamation mark above my head?

(Other:)

Man: Have you ever wondered why everything we do is controlled by-

Dog: Stop! Breaking the fourth wall is a bad idea!

Breaking the fourth wall 

"The fourth wall" is the wall that separates fictional worlds from reality, so breaking the fourth wall is basically saying that you know that there's another universe outside of the fictional one.
Deadpool does this alot
Deadpool: "A message to all the kids out there, cover your eyes if ya don't wanna be scarred for life, eh?" (shoots someone)
Me: Quit breaking the fourth wall, dude

Breaking the Fourth Wall 

Whenever characters in movies/video games/cartoons/other interact with the audience in some way
Guy watching movie: this character sucks
character in movie: *Looks at the guy* No i dont!
Guy watching movie: the f***? thats breaking the fourth wall!

Breaking the Facebook wall

Commenting about facebook on facebook, or when a group of people are having a discussion in a comment thread, and someone comments with, "This is the best/worst comment thread!"

Interrupting the flow of conversation and your suspension of disbelief that you actually have a social life.
Dickwad Dave: Fuck yea, I made waffles this morning. And took a picture.

Cunt Julia: Hope you enjoy your waffles Dave, as they're the last ones you get to eat without knowing you have HIV. Oh by the way, about last night, I HAVE HIV.
You and 127 like this.

Dickwad Dave: Jokes on you Cunt, I wore a condom! Now they're righteous waffles.

Cunt Julia: You drunk slobbering fuck, you tried to wear a magnum condom on your midget dick and just ended up stuffing the condom up into my twat like god damn canon packing.

Dickwad Dave: Fuck you whore! Why'd you let me fuck if you're an infested skank!

Cunt Julia: Me being half passed out in the guest bedroom does not count as "Let you fuck" you god damn rapist.

Worthless William: Best comment thread ever

Urban Dick: Fuck Bill, stop breaking the facebook wall. I was enjoyin' this fuckin show

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.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
