If you have a character who has Medium Awareness or is capable of Breaking the Fourth Wall, it's quite common to observe his interactions with characters who don't know they're fictional. Any time our medium-aware friend will directly address the audience or mention some boundaries of the medium, everybody else will either ignore him or act surprised and find themselves unable to understand what he's talking about. Eventually the other person will think he either is joking or has a few screws loose. Usually, no matter what he does, his efforts to make them realize they're all fictional characters will be meaningless—nobody will believe or even understand him.
Most of the time this trope is played in the same way medium awareness is in said work of fiction. If it's Played for Laughs, so is everybody's ignorance. If medium awareness is Played for Drama, this trope may add a little to it—our hero has to deal with being a fictional character and everybody else thinking he's crazy. If the other characters ARE aware of their fictional nature but aren't supposed to show it, see Scolding the Fourth-Wall Breaker.
Contrast No Fourth Wall and Who Would Want to Watch Us?; compare Cassandra Truth, The Cuckoolander Was Right and This Is Reality.

Also, when robots went back in time to kill Monica, Smudge and Jimmy so their descendants won't exist to revolt against robotkind, one of the robots theorized the one that came up with the idea plagiarized it from some movie.

At the end of the Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) Christmas Episode "The Moon Knight Before Christmas", Spidey is wrapping up is narration when he's interrupted by Moon Knight communing with the moon. Moon Knight is surprised to learn Spidey isn't talking to the moon, and when he refuses to say who he is talking to, calls him a weirdo.

In Secret of Evermore, a prophet declares that everyone around him is a character in a video game. Some nearby Non Player Characters and the player character all regard him as insane. He even declares that, if he's lying, may the powers that be strike him down! The player then has the option of doing just that, enforcing the beliefs of the NPCs and player character (but if the player refuses, the prophet bestows gifts on the hero.)

Subverted in Uncanny X-Force #34. After saving Wolverine, Deadpool tells him that he wasn't worried about him dying because apparently "everyone knew he wasn't going to die". When Wolverine asks who's everyone, Deadpool points out to the reader, but in the next panel we find out he was actually pointing to a security camera. It turns into Mind Screw when you start wondering why the guys watching the footage of the security camera would think Wolverine was safe from dying.

In the Duck Dodgers episode parodying 1970s anime, Marvin the Martian explains his motives in villainous monologue directly to the viewers, and one of his robot minions ask who he's talking to. Marvin tries to explain but fails and the robots spend the rest of the episode laughing at him.

In Spamalot, one of the quests King Arthur has been assigned (in addition to finding the Holy Grail) is to put on a Broadway musical. Later on in the show, The Lady of the Lake graciously points out to him that "but you ARE on Broadway!". King Arthur is rather surprised. The Grail then turns out to be under one of the seats in the audience, and the person in that seat gets brought onto the stage and given a Monty Python foot trophy.

The Truman Show has an In-Universe example that is Played for Drama, when Truman is the middle of an emotional breakdown and is arguing with his wife, she, smack in the middle of their argument, suddenly presenting him a cocoa drink as if she was doing advertisement for it — which she's actually doing. It only infuriates Truman and escalates the situation further as he demands for her to tell him why she is acting like that.

When Doctor Scott apparently talks to the viewer during the dinner scene in The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again, Brad gives a confused look into the camera as if he's trying to work out who Scott's talking to.

In Crossoverkill, when the Doppleganger Gang confronts the Master Assassin - leader of the Character Assassins, a killer cult that believes they can break the fourth wall and enslave their creator by killing the "Alpha Character" — we can see how his breaking the fourth wall and addressing the reader looks from their perspective. Amusingly, Master Assassin is not actually fourth-wall aware — he just thinks he is. His aside glances are as likely to go away from the reader as towards them.

Kaeloo: Episode 69, a Dora the Explorer parody, Kaeloo tries to teach the audience to speak foreign languages by saying a word in a different language and staring at the screen waiting for the audience to repeat after her. In the middle of one such session, Stumpy walks in, sees Kaeloo standing there staring into space since he can't see the audience, and is highly confused, going so far as to wave his hand in front of her face.

Paper Mario:
Common in Super Paper Mario, where exposition dumps and tutorials will often make reference to the player sitting in front of the screen, much to the confusion of Mario and company.
This is also done in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, as there are a couple instances of a character talking to the player, leading your partner to ask what they mean by "you in front of the TV".

Odd Squad: At the end of "A Job Well Undone", Olympia begins giving her acceptance speech for co-winning the Agent of the Month award to the audience. Otis leans into frame and immediately asks who she's talking to, but she ignores him and continues on with the speech. Even Oprah — the one who was open to Odd Squad as an organization being made into a show to begin with — is shown looking around for any semblance of an audience before Otis advises her to walk away and she follows him.

Pony POV Series:
Pinkie Pie often references differences between the fic and the actual show, expresses her hatred of her portrayal in Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles), and other fourth wall shenanigans, which always confuses her friends.
Nyarlathotrot suddenly starts ranting and raving at the author and readers, then threatening and insulting them. The heroes have no idea who he is yelling at, though Daring Do, who had been brought to life from her story, has a vague idea.

Mimpi Metropolitan: This trope can be expected whenever a character is not alone when breaking the fourth wall.
In episode 44, Mami Bibir asks who Bambang is talking to when Bambang confides to the audience that he feels all his efforts to get Melani are pointless.
Episode 49: Melani asks when Bambang tells the audience not to get jealous seeing him holding hands with Melani. Bambang replies that he was talking to singles.
In episode 57, after Alexi asks the audience to "call the numbers below", Mami Bibir is confused about who Alexi is talking to and where is the numbers.
Episode 60: Pipin asks when Alan is telling the audience to watch the previous episodes instead of expecting a flashback if they don't get a reference.

El Goonish Shive is setup wherein the filler strips have No Fourth Wall, but story arcs do, which results in most of the cast only being aware of the fourth wall on occasion. Keyword being "most". In one early instance, when Matt and Rat (two discarded characters), try to complain to Tedd about not being protagonists, he didn't know what they meant. Matt quickly deducted that it means a story arc started, so Tedd is no longer aware he that is in a comic... so forces him to break the fourth wall so they could have an argument. Said characters were subsequently treated for their shared psychosis and became productive members of society according to Word of God.

This is the plot of Last Action Hero. The kid from reality has to convince the character that he's inside a movie. His efforts are held back by the fact that his real world logic simply isn't relevant. That cartoon character on the force is a known and accepted part of their world, and everyone in a movie will be silver screen attractive, even random store clerks.

Doki Doki Literature Club!: Though even she mostly stays in character, Monika is the only one who has a handful of fourth-wall breaking jokes. At one point, Natsuki makes a pun that only works in Japanese, and Monika complains it makes no sense in translation (as if the Animesque game is really translated, which it's not), and Natsuki is pretty confused. Another time, Monika does it by herself, as she first gives the player a tip about saving the game and then wonders out loud what she was even talking about. And then Played for Horror when it turns out that being the only game character aware of her existence has left Monika in an existential crisis, feeling like her "friends" are merely bits of code, and trying to take over the game to bond with the only real person she knows- the player.

Mr. Nobody, the villain, is aware that he's a character in a show on a streaming platform, discusses the series' critical reception and its narrative structure, and even pauses playback of the app at one point. The other characters treat this as a delusion on the part of Mr. Nobody, though they do acknowledge that Mr. Nobody's narration has real power.
There's also Flex Mentallo, who may or may not be a fictional character, who can hear and understand the Negative Spirit speaking even when no other character can.

In a secret joke event in The New Order Last Days Of Europe, which is inaccessible in normal gameplay and can only be unlocked through using cheats to advance through Nazi Germany's focus tree, sees Albert Speer showing up for a meeting with Adolf Hitler in his office to introduce his plans to work with the USA against Imperial Japan. But instead, he is greeted by an angry Hitler suddenly storming into the office, still wearing his nightgown, and screaming incoherently about the player being a cheater, before going on a rant about how he, in all of his years of playing Hearts of Iron, have never felt the need to cheat once and conquered all of Europe fair and square. Speer, quite horrified and confused at what is going on, manages to make Hitler calm down, at which the elderly Führer quietly excuses himself and walks off with a look of defeat on his face, while muttering to himself the player should just restart the game and play it without cheating this time. Speer, still utterly confused at to what Hitler was ranting about, then goes down to the basement to restart the heating system, hoping that his boss' weird outburst was just the result of a lapse in the air conditioning.

Played semi-dramatically in Fleabag. Fleabag has been giving the audience Aside Glances and comments for the whole series, but it's a shock to both her and the audience when her love interest The Priest starts noticing her doing it in the middle of a serious conversation. The first time, he describes it as her suddenly seeming like she's "gone away somewhere" for a moment. On a later occasion he actually follows her gaze to look straight at the camera (but can't see anything).

In Turtles Forever, Hun eventually gets fed up with 1987 Raphael making asides to the audience, and snaps "Why do you keep doing that? Who are you talking to?! THERE'S NO ONE THERE!"

During Half in the Bag, either Mike or Jay will acknowledge the camera, with the other literally asking, "Who are you talking to?"

On his first battle against The Mask, Kablamus ranted about children seeing them and Mask said he agreed. He then told the audience he knew about the children watching the cartoon but Kablamus was crazy. (He was right about Kablamus, mind you)

In Spider-Verse, the version of Peter Parker from the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series narrates his adventures, just like in the cartoon. His fellow Spider-Men are bewildered by this.

In one issue, several DC characters wiped out during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event reappeared. One character fully realized he was in a comic and pointed at the reader, claiming that "they" are enjoying the suffering of the characters and that the characters will be doomed to repeat these traumatic events every time someone reads that issue. At first, the other characters believe he's insane but they gradually see it too, eventually realizing that he was right. They don't react well. Note that this storyline alternates between being outside canon (and for good reason—imagine the Fridge Logic and Fridge Horror that would affect the DC Universe if it were) and being a mystical experience of The Multiverse that its participants could only interpret by way of a Breaking the Fourth Wall metaphor, though Morrison has dragged Meta Fiction elements into other stories such as Final Crisis.

At the start of his review of Ninja Resurrection, Bennett the Sage turns to address the audience as he wonders how bad the anime had to be to make him suffer a lengthy blackout. Gabe, who has to snap Sage out of his coma so he can record the episode, stands by looking confused:

This happens to Deadpool a lot. Every time he breaks the fourth wall or indicates he knows he's a comic book character in the presence of someone else, they have absolutely no idea what he means. Most commonly the other character will respond with a Flat "What" and an assumption that he's crazy. This being Deadpool, they're probably not that far off.
Subverted in Uncanny X-Force #34. After saving Wolverine, Deadpool tells him that he wasn't worried about him dying because apparently "everyone knew he wasn't going to die". When Wolverine asks who's everyone, Deadpool points out to the reader, but in the next panel we find out he was actually pointing to a security camera. It turns into Mind Screw when you start wondering why the guys watching the footage of the security camera would think Wolverine was safe from dying.

In the last episode of FLCL, Kamon explains why manga-like scenes from the first episode didn't appear in later episodes ("It takes time and a lot of work") and why they reappeared in the last one (the creators were "accused of being lazy"). Naota has no idea what Kamon is talking about.
In the first episode they have a cut to a commentary track where Haruko mentions it's really hard to do slow motion scenes because you have to hold your breath while you do it.
