One of my favorite fourth wall breaks is in Trailer Park Boys when Bubbles randomly ends up on Jimmy Kimmel and then Snoop and Tom Arnold show up, and Tom Arnold’s a fan of the show and his mind is blown that he’s actually there.
One of my favourites is the episode of Supernatural where they cross some barrier and end up in "our world" where they're just actors on a tv show, magic isn't real, and Castiel is actually a needy beta who keeps wanting to hang out.
They knew that, by that stage of the show it was just shlock so they leaned into it.
The meta episodes of supernatural were some of the best of the later seasons.
Definitely unpopular. That season was easily the worst in the series specifically because of that part, in my opinion
Maybe a better way to put it is that of all the 4th wall breaks I've seen, it sucks the least. I generally hate 4th wall breaks, but this one was kinda fun.
The season did suck though, and definitely as a result of that exact thing. No disagreement there.
