Fourth Wall

The **Fourth Wall** is a literary term that refers to the invisible wall between the audience and the work of media. In some forms of media, the fourth wall is broken for comedic purposes. Farzar has broken the fourth wall a number of times.

## Instances

### Welcome to Farzar

* A kid in school asked Renzo if his story was gunna be more like *Futurama* or *Rick & Morty*, making a joke on how *Farzar* was likely going to end up being a ripoff of one of those two shows.

### Robot Revolution

* One of Renzo's bullshit levels was "In my office now, McNulty.", in reference to *The Wire*, making a joke on how both he and *Cedric Daniels* are voiced by Lance Reddick.

### Save the Reaper Demons

* Barry Barris explained the visual gag of Scootie's penis shadow to the visually impaired members of the audience and then screamed it to the hearing impaired viewers.

### St. Pudchuggers Day

* Bazarack calls Billy a "Noah's arc looking motherfucker" before hearing from someone offstage that Scootie already used that joke in Episode 3. He then sighs that this going to be a long season.
* Bazarack plays with *Farzar* toys that had a Dome City playset and action figures of all the characters.
* Barry was the only person capable of hearing the episode's narrator.
* Renzo used his DNA to create Agent Clappers in a cloning machine, referencing to *Paradise PD* and making a fourth wall joke on how both characters are voiced by Lance Reddick.
* Bazarack and Billy watch a video of Zobo destroying his home planet but it isn't shown to the audience. Bazarack says that the only thing worse than witnessing this would be hearing it but not seeing it. Bazarack looks at the camera and compares this to "putting it in your mouth but not sucking".
* Bazarack steals Scootie's "Noah's Arc" joke again and yells at someone offscreen that he knows they already used that joke.
* In the end, it was revealed that this entire episode was narrated by Billy for his improv group.

### Flammily Reunion

* This episode has a "Word of the Day" running gag, where every time a character says a certain word (i.e. "Squishy") a bunch of confetti will go off and everybody will celebrate. Bazarack gets annoyed since he says the words in question several times but it doesn't trigger the confetti for some reason but when someone else says it, they get a celebration.

### The Great and Powerful Ozner

* Fichael asks Mal where she got her five men in bondage and she tells him to not question things, since it is all just a cartoon, after all.
* Billy breaks the fourth wall several times to acknowledge that he's in a "C Story".
* *Farzar* gets nominated for an Emmy for "Best Diarrhea Joke" and also "Best Human-on-Spider Sex Scene" and loses both times to *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*.
* Miss Whiskers from *Paradise PD* shows up and breaks the fourth wall to say that she's in both shows.

### War and Peace

* Sal breaks the fourth wall to advertise his website and merchandise before a *Netflix* lawyer comes in and tells him that he doesn't own the rights to his own likeness.
* Barry takes out his Sexual Assault Rifle but the lawyer comes up again and nixes that too.
* Sal makes an obscenely off-color joke about his relatives fucking his grandmother's corpse and Barry complains about the hypocrisy, where he got in trouble for his joke, earlier but there were no lawyers coming to Sal for his joke.
