Who Would Want to Watch Us?	comment	The most common gag that leans on the fourth wall is when the characters are associated with a movie or TV production of their own adventures. If the idea is not just laughed off, the adventurous group have Hollywood types wanting to make an adaptation of their exploits. Further fourth wall fun can be had if the production crew within the show are made to resemble the production crew of the show itself, or parodies of them. Expect Executive Meddling, dismissing of the unrealistic issues, Flanderization of characters, and if the show does get produced, a show that bears little resemblance to the stories we're used to (possibly it creates a rival show as a Take That!). A subset of Show Within a Show. Often an excuse for Recursive Canon. Compare the Documentary Episode and I Should Write a Book About This. Compare and contrast Direct Line to the Author, in which the book/film/show/etc. about the cast's adventures is the actual book/film/show/etc., or Literary Agent Hypothesis, for when that is stated by fans instead of creators. May overlap with Film Felons if the character is using the production as part of some other plan. May overlap with Self-Parody if the in-universe show is Played for Laughs or indulges in melodramatic excess. See also Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us! and Other Me Annoys Me for cases where the character doesn't appreciate the way he's being portrayed.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock does this. Watson proposes writing a blog, and Sherlock says "nobody wants to read this". Watson writes the blog and it goes viral. Then at various points in the series Watson "edits" the adventures so that they're better for the blog and Sherlock dislikes the edits. Also, Sherlock gets approached by fans a lot. All of this is an excessively elaborate setup for a moment when Sherlock puts on the famous hunting cap, thinking it will make him inconspicuous. Predictably enough, it becomes his new trademark and he has to start wearing it all the dang time. Sherlock is completely baffled by this whole thing, which is a really really obtuse way of showing why he's the hero despite being well, as he puts it "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath".

The saboteur turns out to be The Blank, who is mad about being left out of the film — very likely a comment on the fact that the villain of Beatty's film is The Blank In Name Only.

The best comes halfway through the story, when it seems like everything's over but there are still a few unanswered questions, and he says that if the story stopped now, it would be like a manga that didn't sell well and had to rush its ending.

After Los Angeles gets dragged to Hell and back, some bright spark gets the idea to do a movie based on Angel's adventures there called "Last Angel in Hell", with Nicolas Cage as Angel, which Angel and Spike go and see in the course of an adventure, and which has a Comic-Book Adaptation in our world as an Angel annual. Angel was offended by how inaccurate it was, while Spike thought it was funny how his counterpart in the movie was a woman and Angel's love interest. A man named Jeremy Johns who had personally been rescued by Spike during the crisis also protested how inaccurate the movie was.

In it, Elisa Maza, Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway have just seen the film, and the Trio express displeasure with the way that gargoyles are portrayed therein, prompting them to muse that someone should make a movie or TV show that portrays their kind accurately.

Indeed, one of the main driving forces of the fourth season of the show is about Ron Howard wanting to make the said movie and hiring Michael Bluth as its producer.

The interesting thing about this is that the girls aren't weirded out by it, they actually help him finish an issue by acting out a scene then helping him ink it and, for the rest of the series, we watch him expand it, adding Itsuki and Yuri once they take on Cure personas.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: It turns out that a prophet has been writing a book series about Sam and Dean (with titles the same as those of the respective episodes). It was only popular with a cult following, and got cancelled after "No Rest for the Wicked" (the book), but Chuck keeps writing since he still gets the visions. In "The Real Ghostbusters" (about a third of the way through season five), Chuck says the book series is going to be revived. Chuck vanishes before that ever happens, but his ex-girlfriend fangirl posts his stories online. There's also a couple of incompetent ghost hunters who make a film including Sam and Dean, and on one occasion Sam and Dean rescue a Hollywood director from a ghost and he gets inspiration for his movie from that. And again when Sam and Dean are transported to an alternate universe... where they're actors named Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles on a TV show called Supernatural.

When Jay and Silent Bob confront Holden over image rights for the upcoming Bluntman and Chronic movie, Holden says, "A Jay and Silent Bob movie? Who'd pay to see that?" (All three then glance silently at the camera; Jay winks, and Silent Bob grins comically.) At some point, Marshall Willenholly reacts to hearing a rather asinine plot point with, "Sounds like something out of a bad movie." (All characters in the scene then again glance at the camera.) At the end, while walking out of a movie theater, Alyssa (the female lead from Chasing Amy) says, "Chasing Amy? That would never work as a movie." (Amy is in fact the most critically succesful of Smith's movies)

But most recently, one of its spin-off series has had Batman having to protect the makers of a close facsimile of the most recent Batman movie from the Joker, and as usual footage from the resulting fight ends up in the movie. The whole series starts because of the Frank Miller continuity on Catwoman, which forces Selina Kyle to defend her good name. In an off-Broadway show. Catwoman even gets a chance to get even with "F. Miller" in a later story, with everyone you can think of helping out, including Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Oracle, and Batman. Not to mention Selina having a 'brainstorming' session with Joker, Two-Face, and a couple other Rogues. Hilarity Ensues.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_5fe8632b	comment	The original comic book version of W.I.T.C.H. had its fun with this trope: In a possible future the girls learn that Will is publishing a fantasy novel, However Magic, based on their adventures, with the stated intention of starting a series. She had been working on it for years; In the short stories published alongside the New Power saga, Will was roped into writing the script for a musical. It was blatantly based on the Twelve Portals arc, with the actresses for the five main roles being very similar in personality to the girls (Will's actress was so like her that the girls were creeped out before asking her to do the part), and Hay Lin as the costume designer catching some flak by the rest of the staff because the outfits for the members of the Congregations were plain white tunics just as with their originals; In a later story the girls find themselves on a world where they have a massive franchise (including at least one movie) and equally large fandom. And, in one of the funniest examples of Your Costume Needs Work, an Irma cosplayer doubted their identities because Civilian!Irma didn't look like her (to be fair, the cosplayer really looked like Guardian!Irma).

In another story, Donald Duck makes some rather pitiful attempts to write a novel, and at first only gets ideas that have already been used in Romeo and Juliet and Moby-Dick, which Huey, Dewey and Louie happily point out. Donald eventually turns to them and sarcastically suggests he could write about something no-one has thought of before: an average duck who lives with his three annoying nephews. The nephews are quick to tell him that the idea is simply too bad for anyone to think of it.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: The 100th and 200th episodes of deal with Wormhole X-treme, a TV series created by an alien based upon his subconscious knowledge (his memories had previously been erased) of the Stargate Program. The two Wormhole X-treme episodes are exercises in wall-to-wall Lampshade Hanging (indeed, in "200" the producer character even references that trope, though he calls it "hang[ing] a lantern on it"), taking great and obvious joy in spoofing every Stargate trope they possibly can, and laden with vast numbers of in-jokes and shout outs. Not to mention that the production crew of Wormhole X-treme is actually the crew of Stargate SG-1 too. In a statement that makes you wonder about the entire series, the US Airforce decides not to axe Wormhole X-Treme as it will give them Plausible Deniability. Anyone coming forward with details of the Stargate program or other alien encounters can be accused of having watched the show. Hmmmm.... Another episode, "Citizen Joe", features a barber receiving psychic flashes of Jack O'Neill's missions and writing them as short stories. He submits them to literary magazines, all of which turn the stories down. However, one can easily tell which episode he is referring to, because his titles, like "Holiday" and "Hathor" are the same as the titles of the episodes all those seasons back. At the end of the episode, the cast realizes that O'Neill has spent the past few years having psychic flashes of being a barber. When asked why he never told them, he answers, "It was relaxing."

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: "The Ember Island Players" has the main characters viewing a play detailing their exploits up to that point, as based on the accounts of "singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage". Their displeasure begins with their own Character Exaggeration: Aang as a Woman (actually a small woman playing a boy a la Peter Pan — and in a case of life imitating art, a woman did many of Aang's stunts in the live-action movie); Katara as a much older (and chubbier) melodramatic ham; Sokka as an idiot only concerned with food; Sokka's only offended that his punchlines aren't more varied. some obvious Ho Yay; and putting Zuko's scar on the wrong side of his face, along with an obsession with Honor... well more than the real thing. As for the playwright's shipping habits, Zutara makes The Hero cry and the characters in question cringe. Hilarity Ensues. And so do grief and regret. However, Toph, being such a Tomboy, was completely fine with being portrayed as a huge hulking man. Which was also a minor Development Gag, since "huge hulking man" was the original plan for Toph. (The character design was reused as The Boulder, a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of professional wrestler The Rock.) The whole thing was a propaganda play for the Fire Nation. Characters like Ozai and Azula are portrayed as heroes. (Though the play isn't done from their perspective. If anything, the Gaang is portrayed as comedic Villain Protagonists.) The play itself ends with the Gaang being killed and the Fire Nation taking over the world, which is met with wild cheers from the audience. The real Gaang is quite disturbed once they realize this. Funny enough, many of the complaints the characters make about this play (such as the Bad "Bad Acting", Zuko being a moody whiner, Katara being melodramatic and wimpy) were echoed by fans when they saw the show's live-action movie adaptation. But the effects were decent.

The title banquet was organized by Giulia Farnese as a gambit to compromise the cardinals' morality and therefore create loyalty. It worked splendidly. Pope Alexander VI tells the chronicler to put the record away for history, but doubts future generations will actually be interested in such a thing. This actually overlaps with It Will Never Catch On, as even before this particular show, the Borgias remained infamous and popular HistoricalDomainCharacters and that specific event was one of the most mentioned.

It's a huge success, and gets picked up to be made into a film, which leads to a very confusing fifth season in which we see the original characters hanging out with the actresses playing the fictional versions of the characters, and also some reconstructions of the events of the first season played out with different actresses and slightly different dialogue... designed to make Jenny look good, of course.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_8bf307b3	comment	Italian stories of the Disney Mouse and Duck Comics have this as a somewhat recurring plot: Most of the times someone decides to use the image of Paperinik (Donald's superhero alter-ego) to make a movie, a video-game, a reality show, or, in one occasion, a rock singer playing with (fake) martians. It almost always ends with Paperinik taking offense at something and sabotaging everything (the most epic being the rock singer, sponsored by Scrooge: Paperinik staged a fake alien invasion to force Scrooge to call everything off and refund whoever had been at one of the concerts), the exception being the movie where Donald himself played the lead role (after initially being cast as the stunt double), in which Paperinik only forced a change of script; In an in-universe example of Ripped from the Headlines, one story of Paperinik New Adventures has the writer of a soap opera put the Evronians in the plot. It worked; The Papernovela (a parody of South-American soap operas) had the in-universe cast blatantly based on Scrooge and family plus friends and some enemies, and played by them. One episode also had superheroes playing themselves, and another did the same with the Yeti.

Who Would Want to Watch Us? / int_8dd8ec81	comment	Sailor Moon and Codename: Sailor V, the series of which is a spin-off, have this as somewhat of a Running Gag: In Codename: Sailor V Minako is confronted with the Sailor V Game before becoming famous. Justified as Artemis had it made as a simulator because he had realized she learns a lot from video games. The Sailor V Game would return in the Sailor Moon manga and both anime; In the Sailor Moon manga, a Sailor Soldiers franchise (somehow spun-off by the Sailor V Game) shows up statutorily, with a side story showing the existence of a cosplay shop dedicated to them. Episode 21 of the first anime has Usagi (after seeing the Sailor V anime) wishing someone would make an anime of her, to which Luna replies that nobody would be interested. This episode was also a small Take That! at the fact there was supposed to be a real life Sailor V anime (or at least an OAV) but the creator was asked to expand the series into a team format and ended up creating Sailor Moon; In the S season Sailor Venus, (badly) disguised as Sailor Moon, convinces Kaolinite and the Outers that Usagi is not Sailor Moon, and in the process dismisses the Cosmic Heart Compact as merchandise. In the Cloverway dub version of episode 104, the Shin-chan Expy is a Sailor Moon fan who shows off his Sailor Moon underwear to Rini, which disgusts her.

Points that were altered in the animated series are lampshaded as "inaccuracies" in a fictionalized account of the main characters' adventures. The broadcast version even used actual clips from the film to represent the movie, although these were later cut for syndication.

Kim is surprised that anyone would want to make a movie about her and is not at all bothered when it gets cancelled by the end of the episode. The episode would become Hilarious in Hindsight over a decade later, when the series did get a live-action adaptation. And yes, the mole rat was CGI.

In Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man finds a movie about himself being made by none other than Sam Raimi, Avi Arad and starring Tobey Maguire.

This is further touted some arcs later when it is revealed that Magnificent Bastard The Kingpin buys the company that produced the Spider-Man film and all merchandising rights. This means that every Spidey T-shirt and toy sold in the Ultimate Universe is funding the Kingpin's operations. And what is worse, Kingpin did it solely to spite Spidey. In The Amazing Spider-Man (J.

(To which Baldrick replies: "And I could be played by a tiny tit in a beard.")

This is possibly unique among examples on this page in that it is accurate. The previous pitch, where AstÃ©rix shoots down the idea for a story about ObÃ©lix, is just garden-variety Dramatic Irony like almost everything here: the main characters of the series doubting that one of them is interesting enough to carry the series. Impedimenta and Vitalstatistix, though, really are secondary characters, and apparently they realize it!

It almost always ends with Paperinik taking offense at something and sabotaging everything (the most epic being the rock singer, sponsored by Scrooge: Paperinik staged a fake alien invasion to force Scrooge to call everything off and refund whoever had been at one of the concerts), the exception being the movie where Donald himself played the lead role (after initially being cast as the stunt double), in which Paperinik only forced a change of script;

The director mistakes him for Saiyaman's stunt double, and Gohan, being Gohan, decides to go along with it. Until he realizes it's getting late and he still has to visit Krillin, so he flies off. There's also the Super Sentai parody/remake (complete with rubber masks and obvious special effects) of the Cell Games shown at the Tenkaichi Budokai that year, which horrified the main characters (except for Goku, whose response was "Well, it was ridiculous and... untrue, but it kept me entertained"). Even Hercule, the one being celebrated by the movie, finds it cheesy and low budget.
