Interactive Narrator	comment	In most series, the Narrator rests comfortably beyond the Fourth Wall, able to tell their story in peace. The Interactive Narrator isn't so lucky. While this type of narrator exists "off-camera", the characters of the story are fully aware of their narration and are able to interact with them. Author Powers are also not uncommon among these narrators, allowing them to change the entire setting and plot at will. Hilarity Ensues if the narrator in question is particularly snarky or critical of the characters' actions. This often results in the narrator arguing with the characters like a sort of Dungeon Master. This extends to comedic examples of disgruntled villains attacking or abducting the narrator and attempting to take their place in order to make life miserable for the heroes. This is a subtrope of Medium Awareness. noreallife

Interactive Narrator / int_104b55b8	comment	Dark Secrets of Garry's Mod: Part 2 of Medievil Ã©s a Playstation 5 (Medievil and the Playstation 5) introduces a character simply called "the narrator". Unlike most examples that use this trope, he is actually shown to have a body and a face. His home is a Blank White Void where he watches the events of the series on a TV. Due to the characters messing with the timeline in a previous video, he is able to appear in the physical plane. He also uses badass fingersnaps to manipulate the setting. It is later revealed there is a multiverse with other entities just like him, and they are forbidden from intervening with any of the universes or they must face punishment.

Interactive Narrator / int_1688bcd5	comment	In Our Town, Thornton Wilder uses a Stage Manager to aid in telling the story. Early performances had actors simply sitting in chairs reciting their lines, and the Stage Manager was a necessity. Later, directors had the actors do more acting, but the Stage Manager still played an important role. As the play goes on, he steps into the action a few times to play minor roles, including the priest who marries George and Emily, and in the final act one of the characters (who has apparently gained a level of Medium Awareness as a result of being dead) appeals to him directly in his role as the narrator.

Interactive Narrator / int_1a8d488a	comment	Steve Jackson's game Munchkin plays with this trope a little. The cards themselves can be understood to tell a loose story — for example, a character may be a Feline Bounty Hunter locked in combat with Cthulhu wielding a Laser-Maser-BoBaser (play it once and you'll understand). The "narrators" (players) are encouraged to argue and debate anything not explicitly stated on the cards, with the ultimate authority resting with the game's owner.

Interactive Narrator / int_1b5eec6e	comment	The Narrator on Sheep in the Big City shares similar traits with the one from Rocky and Bullwinkle and frequently berates the characters, who can answer back snappily, and sometimes has his booth invaded by other characters (at one point, he is actually beaten up for criticizing one character's plotline). Unlike Rocky and Bullwinkle, however, this narrator was actually given a backstory (his name was Ben Plotz) and was frequently shown onscreen, recording his narration in a studio booth. He was actually kidnapped by the villains at one point, just like the previously mentioned Rocky and Bullwinkle example. And then Sheep reveals himself to be the real villainous mastermind of the entire show, and plans to use the narrator for his "Narrator-Powered Raygun". During an episode that ended with a Downer Ending, the narrator decided that he hated the ending and invoked a Deus ex machina to make a Super Happy Ending.

Interactive Narrator / int_1b7ca727	comment	The Stanley Parable has a dynamic relationship between the Narrator and the player as Stanley, even though the former only manifests as a disembodied voice and the latter is a Heroic Mime who can do nothing in response except walk around, press buttons and (very rarely) pick up objects. The Narrator starts by gently nudging Stanley in the direction of the game that leads to freedom. If the player defies the narration, the Narrator becomes increasingly annoyed and tries pushing Stanley—and then the player—in the direction intended. Depending on which decisions the player makes, the Narrator can either become the main antagonist aiming to kill Stanley for going against the narrative, a confused ally of Stanley trying to make sense why the game is becoming Mind Screw-y, or the target of Stanley's defiance causing his story to crumble around him.

In her only 'fight' scene, she stops the plot of the visual novel, takes over the narration (as in it becomes first person when before it had been third) and edits the story to end the fight instantly with her victory out of literally no-where, promising the readers and her opponent that she'd write what happened in the fight scene she decided to skip over in later. Also, in some ways, this could apply to the various Game Masters through the series and their directly controlled pieces.

Interactive Narrator / int_28f8508d	comment	The narrator in Samurai Pizza Cats would break the Fourth Wall with the characters and engage in Lampshade Hanging with them. He even had his family kidnapped by the Big Cheese, as part of a plan to finally defeat the cats. The same show once decimated the concept by having the narrator "accidentally" read the lines of the wrong episode. Its source material Kyatto Ninden Teyandee didn't do this quite as often, though examples do exist; in one episode Usa-hime got irritated enough at the narrator to send him to the prison island, complete with super-imposed photos of his voice actor's face appearing on-screen as he's carted off.

In the first act, the characters don't interact with him too much, though it is clear that they can hear him. Halfway through the second act, however, the fairy-tale characters start giving Aside Glances to the narrator as he describes the action in a frustratingly omniscient way, and they then decide to sacrifice the narrator to the Giantess in an attempt to convince her he was Jack. The characters' logic is that, as the narrator himself protests, he isn't "one of us." The other characters lament that without him, they'll never know how the story ends. Not coincidentally, this is where everything really spirals out of control.

The problem was solved by him developing laryngitis, and Dave and his family hiring a new one (albeit one used to Space Operas that briefly turned the show into one). Doug Langdale essentially imported the "storyteller" from an earlier show of his, the Animated Adaptation of Earthworm Jim (to the point they're voiced by the same guy!); in EWJ the characters also often interact with the narrator, to the point two of the villains threatened him to skip over things and cut to the end result.

Interactive Narrator / int_3adfb1ba	comment	The narrator of the newer Goofy cartoons on House of Mouse interacted with Goofy quite a bit, whereas in the old cartoons the narrator mostly would do his own thing while Goofy's actions would simply juxtapose on their own...Goofy did seem to be aware that ''someone'' was watching, however, even without the narrator. In How to Be a Gentleman, Goofy exacts his revenge on the unseen voice that's been tormenting him for so long... with a giant club. And speaking of House of Mouse, there were a few instances of John Cleese lending some narration. Usually without the interaction, but in one particular cartoon, The Nutcracker, Cleese not only argues with the characters and gets flustered by the confusing casting (including flat-out lying to Donald about the Rat King's ultimate fate to get him to actually do the part), but he also manages to kick Ludwig von Drake out of the picture (temporarily, to his great frustration).

A Running Gag involves him adding a Cliffhanger to the plot in the middle of an episode, leading to the characters' complaining. The Narrator also has an obvious bias towards the main character. The villains that tend to be more Genre Savvy on the show will often notice this and complain. One episode had a second narrator (the regular one's brother, in fact) narrating the episode in a dramatic manner. In one episode, the villain known as Chuck, The Evil Sandwich-Making Guy, passed a sandwich above the screen, and the Narrator ate it.

Interactive Narrator / int_495f277f	comment	Hayate the Combat Butler's narrator is interactive, both arguing with the main characters and at one point being pinned as the culprit during the Murder Mystery episode. Not quite as surreal in the manga, but the narration boxes appear often in the early chapters and are yelled at by the characters for unflattering descriptions, annoy characters by comically oversimplifying their thoughts or motives, and was even threatened physically by Hinagiku once (when the source of the narration apparently occupied a nearby clock) and once changed Maria's description mid-panel as Maria was holding a rather large kitchen knife at the time. The narration boxes in general have been used less as the series has gone on, but typically pop up again when the story focuses on Hayate and/or Hinagiku, who are among the few characters that still interact with the boxes.

Interactive Narrator / int_4efd20ba	comment	Freakazoid! had a narrator (Joe Leahy) who was active in the story. In one memorable episode, he actually saved Freakazoid from an attacking foe by warning him. This incident (or a similar one) immediately had a lampshade hung on it, and Cosgrove waved it off as the narrator liking to pad his part. Shortly afterward: Another episode had the narrator consider the plot of said episode to be so idiotic that he flat out refused to do his job. At one point, while Freakazoid is battling a monster, the narrator is on the phone berating his agent. In "The Freakazoid", Joe became an actual character, and was sent to acting school as a B-plot. In "Candle Jack", he's among the titular villain's victims. In yet another episode, Freakazoid and the narrator start squabbling, and Freakazoid threatens to replace him "with the narrator from Earthworm Jim (also a fellow Kids WB show); this wouldn't have been a problem since the EWJ narrator voice, Jeff Bennett, was already in the cast (and in that very scene no less, voicing Cave Guy!). Jack Valenti (head of the Motion Picture Association of America, and inventor of the US movie ratings system), and his cheeks, served as this for "The Chip" two-parter that detailed Freakazoid's origins. He pauses the episode twice to explain the ratings system to the viewers, and also has to remind Freakazoid of what he's supposed to be doing. At the end, he explains he's there because he was friends with producer Steven Spielberg.

Interactive Narrator / int_4efed37e	comment	Alan-a-Dale in Robin Hood (1973) is an unusual variation of this trope. He is seen at the beginning, and is drawn in a style that makes it very plausible for him to be just a character in the story. At first, he is just narrating the story, and throughout the first half, you don't really see him again, except for one scene where he helped Friar Tuck stop Sir Hiss from blowing Robin Hood's cover. Finally, when Prince John gets a Villainous Breakdown and locks up everyone in Nottingham in jail, the camera slowly zooms toward the jail, as Narrator Alan-a-Dale begins to narrate "All of Nottingham was in jailâ€¦"; finally we see him inside the jail: "Yup! I'm in here too." After that, he stops narrating at all and becomes an ally to Robin in the climactic battle, until the very end, where he narrates once more for a minute, albeit from inside the story instead of being invisible.

Interactive Narrator / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck takes this trope and runs with it. As a webcomic in the style of Interactive Fiction about a game that affects reality, narrators don't just describe a scene — they also command or suggest the actions of the characters, and a few of the character are capable of talking back to them. On top of that, every single narrator is a character in the story, including the author himself and quite possibly the audience. This means that most narrators have narrators of their own when it time to focus on them. It's possibly the single most meta example of this trope ever.

"A World of His Own" was about a playwright who could bring his characters to life by describing them onto an audio tape. When at the end Serling apologizes on-screen for the silliness of the plot, the playwright pulls out a tape labeled "Rod Serling", and tosses it into a fireplace. Serling fades away. Anecdotes about the show state there was originally supposed to be more of this interaction but for Serling's extreme discomfort when interacting with anyone on-camera.

Interactive Narrator / int_5afbc0cb	comment	The narrator of Undertale is, for the most part, a standard second-person Lemony Narrator, but there are several exceptions. One character, Napstablook, will respond to the narration, and the narration style will change depending on how you play the game. In the Pacifist Route, the narrator is upbeat and snarky. Killing monsters will make the narrator a little more pessimistic, and they'll go from 'half full' to 'half empty'. Go for genocide, and the narrator will switch to first person, drop all jokes and start speaking tersely, and refer to the player character as "It's me, [Name]". It's a commonly accepted fan theory that the narrator is the first Fallen Child, Chara. The pacifist route is Chara being relaxed and optimistic because you're being nice to everyone, and getting to show off their rather childish sense of humor (calling Toriel's butterscotch-cinnamon pie "buttspie", for example). The genocide route is either the Fallen Child possessing the player character (who is actually named Frisk, not the name you chose in the beginning), or the player's bloodthirsty actions corrupting them into murderousness.

In one instance, he is as confused as the audience when we see Tagon and Brad killed and then alive, and in another, he tries to talk a character out of a Heroic Sacrifice. It is particularly jarring because the characters rarely show any other sign of Medium Awareness. The narrator later messes with the strip and brings back everyone who's died so far. When it's revealed as an April Fools joke, the girlfriend of the aforementioned Heroic Sacrifice is understandably incensed: Even worse when you consider that the "lame-o Sci-Fantasy explanation" is EXACTLY what happens to her next boyfriend. making the whole thing a five year Brick Joke.

At one point, a Mook picks a fight with him over his insulting description of them, to which the narrator responds by rewinding the movie just to taunt him. (The mook's comrade then asks, "Were you just fighting with the narrator?" Followed by "Well, he started it." "Did not!" "Did too!") The sequel has the narrator reach in and pick up a villain who annoyed him, a Deus ex machina resolution to a plotline.

Interactive Narrator / int_7d20ef2c	comment	The 80's comic strip Bloom County which frequently broke the 4th wall, had an interactive narrator that would at times squabble with the characters (especially Opus, who usually had his ugly truths revealed by the narrator). One sterling example was in a storyline when the characters went on strike. Steve Dallas is the only one to remain, and the rest of the cast has been replaced with scabs. Steve is about to start a scene with the hot blonde they've gotten to replace Bill the Cat. In fact, during the final arc of the original series, he makes a joke at Opus' expense, and Opus angrily remarks, "I'm not gonna miss that guy!"

To elaborate, the podcast is in the format of a local radio program from the eponymous town, and when Cecil the host tells a story about them on the program, he narrates the events in real-time, and indirectly interacts with "Them". "They" are a men-in-black-like pair of men, known as the "The Man Who is Not Tall" and "The Man Who is Not Short", though what they're doing exactly and why remain a mystery.

Interactive Narrator / int_c01e568e	comment	There are a lot of examples of this in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, done in various ways. On one occasion, for instance, David Hatch is introducing that week's episode of the serial and breaks off to comment on how bad the plot is, saying that it's just as believable as him saying that suddenly there was a huge explosion and [the cast] all disappeared in a puff of smoke. They promptly do just that, and once he's brought them back, John Cleese berates him for being power mad. Hatch proceeds to narrate a series of disasters culminating in Cleese landing in a vat of simmering tapioca pudding as an object lesson to everybody else.

Interactive Narrator / int_c0f8022c	comment	Hercules: The Animated Series: The narrator is named Bob (his wife is Mrs. Bob, they have two kids), after his voice actor, Robert Stack. While he rarely interacts with the main characters, he is in competition with the Muses and frequently argues with them. Bob is not only kept offscreen, but apparently literally invisible, as he and his family appear in one episode wearing large souvenir hats that appear to float in midair. The Muses usually act as the chorus (in multiple sense of the word), so their minor interactions with characters (in both the movie and series) only occur during musical sequences and are presumably non-diegetic. However, they are the goddesses of the arts, so in an episode of the series about Hercules struggling to dance as part of a school play, the relevant muse steps out of the chorus to assist him directly.

To get the rest of the endings, you have to deliberately ignore the Narrator's instructions and/or do exactly the opposite of what he says in order to discover new areas and scenes. The fourth wall immediately collapses as a result as the Narrator will stumble on his lines, get annoyed and start complaining to you about it while constantly trying to rerail the story, which depending on the scene you can muck up even further by being an even bigger contrarian. You have to do this at basically every possible junction in order to view all the endings, which is required for the True Ending, in which, fittingly enough, The Narrator turns out to be the True Final Boss.

In episode 31, Keroro gets stranded in the middle of nowhere after his new hover-bike conks out, and he passes the time by trying to strike up a conversation with him, only for things to turn awkward when the two have no common interests. The English dub will sometimes play this by having the narrator interact, not with the character, but the subtitles.

Interactive Narrator / int_f7d8fd70	comment	The 1950s BBC radio comedy The Goon Show subverted this constantly. The show's characters would constantly undercut nominal narrator Wallace Greenslade (a BBC announcer appearing under his real name), often narrating themselves or mocking Greenslade's "posh talk". One episode turned the tables and made Greenslade the central character, telling the story of his rise to BBC stardom. In the episode "The Phantom Head-Shaver Of Brighton" he kept telling us about a tobacco stall he'd just opened. It turned out he was the Phantom Head-Shaver, using the hair for stock. Normally a BBC radio announcer would only announce the show's title at the start and read the closing credits at the end. Given their anarchic style of comedy the Goons weren't about to let their narrator get off so lightly.
