Co(s)mic

In the media, I have taken an interest on the characters who actually know that they are in a movie/comic/book/etc. This tv trope, or type of gag/item of originality, is called "medium awareness". Everybody keeps living their lives normally, but these special characters are aware that someone controls their lives. For example:
"None of this is real. There is a man. There is a computer. That man is currently sitting at his computer and writing what we are about to say next."
"Be quiet, Wade."

  1. Hmmm... interesting thought! Maybe someone is sitting at a computer, writing YOUR story! :)
