Assuming the Audience's Age	comment	Hey, there, youngster. I don't know if you've ever seen this trope in your short life, but Fourth Wall Observers and characters in works with No Fourth Wall have a tendency to assume the viewer/reader/player's age. In Edutainment shows and games, they will assume the viewer/player to be a child. In first-person novels, this can go either way — the narrator might assume the reader to be an adult, or might assume the reader to be a child. Or maybe a teenager. Compare Fake Interactivity and Mistaken Age. Related to Target Audience. This often happens during And Knowing Is Half the Battle scenes.

Assuming the Audience's Age / int_11f42563	comment	Welcome to Pooh Corner: In the special "Too Smart for Strangers", Pooh believes the viewers are children and tells them what to do if they run into a stranger. One of his pieces of advice is to tell an adult, such as a parent. Later, Tigger tells the audience, "Howdy-roo, kids!" and informs Roo that they have to tell the kids about how to stay safe when they're out and about.

Assuming the Audience's Age / int_510974b4	comment	An episode of Johnny Test did this. Johnny and his talking dog Dukey are trapped in an action movie (through the use of VR helmets created by his genius sisters), and when they realize how the movie's supposed to end (think Thelma & Louise) Dukey screams at Johnny "You couldn't have just stayed home and watched cartoons like normal kids!". Johnny and Dukey then pause and look at the viewer before continuing to panic about getting out of the movie.
