A form of Breaking the Fourth Wall, an Aside Glance occurs when an actor gives a brief, silent glance to the camera as a way of acknowledging that their current situation, or the person they're speaking to, is awesome, stupid, weird, or otherwise unusual. Alternatively, it is also utilized as a form of Medium Awareness that the characters know they're in a show. It's generally used as a way to acknowledge the audience's assumed reaction and show that the glancing character is just as smart as them and just as aware of the absurdity of the situation. Importantly, the glancer should never speak to the audience, nor should the other characters (if it is fiction) acknowledge that the person just glanced away. The glance can be either a normal look or an Eye Take. The trope has its roots in the "aside", a trope in European dramatic tradition that had characters making one-line comments to one another which are unheard by the other characters. Originally this was used to undercut dramatic tension but was turned around over time to allow for serious usage, in plays such as Hamlet. Characters also began to make remarks to the audience or to themselves rather than to other characters, akin to thought balloons in comics. This was modified into the silent glance, which was used in stage comedy routines and subsequently found its way into the films of Laurel and Hardy and other movie comedians, thus making it Older Than Television at least. The speaking version still exists, too, in various contexts, including comics; see Aside Comment. Compare Batty Lip Burbling, Fourth Wall Psych, and Meaningful Look. Used a lot in This Is Reality situations. Compare Spiking the Camera when this is done accidentally. Sub-trope of The Take. Thousand-Yard Stare can invoke this trope, but only if it's used for the express purpose of breaking the fourth wall. |

Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire: Most major characters are guilty of it at one point or another. Mostly in response to a really bad, off-beat joke. This is a trademark move of the title character. Possibly lampshaded, considering he's a seer who cannot only see into other dimensions but has actually BEEN to some of them. Donovan pulls it off once as well. The humor being that the joke isn't explained until almost a year later. |

In Hoodwinked!, Red Puckett practically is a master of this, as there are at least four or five that she gives during her story. Red throws a magazine from the treehouse — which lands on a passing car's windshield and blinds the driver, who immediately drives into a tree. We cut back to a close-up of Red right before the crash, and when we hear the impact, she silently tenses up and shoots a glance at the camera. When Red is taking the recipe book from behind the Concealing Canvas in Granny's store, the woodpecker she is with asks if the Bandit will get the book. Red turns to the bird and replies, "Not today," with the camera angle positioned such that it looks like she's speaking to the camera. When Red encounters Japeth and he denies having spoken normally instead of singing for a brief second, she pauses to give the camera an exasperated stare. Two others happen with Red during "Be Prepared", the song in Japeth's shack: she does an indirect Aside Glance when she says "Oh, good. More singing," after pleading to Japeth for help causes him to break out in song. Also, when the line "I got horns that open pickle jars.." comes up, Red holds out a pickle jar for Japeth to pop the lid off of, then gives a bemused look at the camera. The Wolf does one himself, after his hyperactive assistant and photographer Twitchy claims he doesn't drink coffee — while talking so fast it's hard to understand what he's saying. |

Grrl Power: This page, although it's technically not an aside glance. The author himself explained that in order for Sydney not to reveal the content of the tube too early while thinking about it in her head, this breakage of the fourth wall is necessary. Also a variation of the trope here: Sydney does speak to the camera, although whether she is speaking to the audience or to Harem is open to interpretation. Amusingly parodied in this strip, where Sydney tries to do this but doesn't know which direction the forth wall is. |

Iron Man and Spider-Man gave a prominent Aside Glance prior to Civil War. In the previous issues, Mary-Jane had suffered a broken arm, then shown up shortly after without a cast or anything. When fans pointed out the mistake, the writers added a discussion between Parker and Stark, revealing that Stark had fixed her up with some kind of injected bone glue. The panel immediately after the explanation shows both characters looking straight at the reader. | |

Miss Piggy looks at the camera after hearing Chiho Nagomi call her "Kabaton". She informs the audience she's going to pretend she didn't hear that. Kermit looks at the camera in Chapter 5 after one of Fozzie's corny jokes. |

Girl Genius: There are plenty of moments where a character will glance at the fourth wall to acknowledge, or despair at, or just be pissed off at the ridiculousness of what is happening. Klaus glances at the Fourth Wall in the when some of his sparks are running away using 1-Dimensional Thinking. Gil got it from his father. Tarvek's, in the last panel, is probably the funniest one to date. Tarvek is good at these. Agatha in the last panel. You can almost read her thoughts in that look. Even a three-eyed monster gets a go at it. General Khrizhan gives one early on. "Sorry, we meet a lot of oddly-dressed people." "At least *she* was color-coordinated." |

Superman: Through much of the Golden Age and Silver Age, he would end a story by giving the reader a wink, usually when one of his supporting cast made a clueless remark about his Secret Identity. Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? would be the last time the Pre-Crisis Superman does it. In DC One Million, we discover the ultimate fate of Superman: In the distant future, he spends 100,000 years hibernating in the sun, and emerges in the 853rd century as an unstoppable super-god. After bringing Lois and the entire planet Krypton back to life with a wave of his hand, his final act is to give the reader one last knowing wink. Several Silver Age Supergirl stories ended with the Girl of Steel glancing to the reader and winking. The ending of The Kingdom, where the (supposedly) Golden Age Superman realizes that the sky barrier that's holding him prisoner over a version of Metropolis (possibly hinting at the paradise dimension that he, Lois Lane, and Superboy-Prime ended up in at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths) is now gone and that he can escape into the mainstream DC Universe again...someday.

One Piece In a relatively early episode, Chopper starts to yell at Nami when she wakes up from her sickness at Dr. Kureha's place, and then he acts awkwardly all of a sudden, prompting Nami to look directly into the camera and ask aloud if he can't hide his feelings. Sanji does this twice at the beginning of the sixth movie when one of the island's champions, Muchigoro, is introduced. The first time, he tells the audience that Muchigoro's definitely an idiot. The second time he does this is after Muchigoro is tricked by Usopp saying, "See? He's an idiot." Usopp does this multiple times after meeting the Barbar sand pirates during the Alabasta arc in a filler episode. |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures issue "Big Trouble in Master Splinter", Donatello, Raphael and April discuss ways to eliminate the Mousers inside Splinter's body (the former wants to shrink himself and his brothers, the latter two suggest using a laser beam), with Donatello having been inspired by a Termite Man issue he read. April insists that no good ideas are inspired by a superhero from the '60s. Then the three awkwardly stare at the reader.note The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic was mostly inspired by Daredevil, a '60s superhero. | |

After Anne returns to Earth in Meanwhile, Back on Earth, it is shown that the Transmission still follows her even after she goes back home. As a result, every person that goes near her would be paranoid and looks for the 'camera' because they knew the Transmission are probably recording them. The Transmission has a sense of humor and draws attention to this, intentionally having its view on their eyes as a form of meta joke. Anne indulges in this sometimes, glancing in random directions and even making small quips directed to her viewers. | |
