Two that first came to mind:  ___________  “He’s about to sing, folks. There’s still time to go out and buy the popcorn.” (Couldn’t find a gif—or the right scene—for this one.) |

Also:  …and…  BOB: I can’t go on! No food, no water. It’s all my fault. We’re done for! It's got me. I can’t stand it! No food, nothing! No food, no water! No food! BING: What’s the matter with you, anyway? We’ll be picked up in a few minutes. BOB: You had to open your big mouth and ruin the only good scene I got in the picture. I might have won the Academy Award! |

Funny Games has a few. The rewind scene is especially memorable.
The narration cutting off in Adaptation. after the screenwriting teacher calls it out.
The penis at the end of Fight Club.
The Looney Toons short "Duck Amock" destroys the 4th wall.
"What a pisser" from Airplane!

Not a movie, but "House of Cards" (US version...haven't seen UK version yet) has some great ones...particularly in the series' first episode.
Michael Bay surprised me with...what's probably a knock more than a break..."Pain and Gain" when Dwayne Johnson is having a pretty unorthodox BBQ.
"Funny Games" is certainly up there as well.
I only saw it once, but I remember "The Big Short" as having a few notable breaks.

I believe it had to do with explaining who the people in play were and what positions they held. Also how true or supposedly true the allegations/actions were meant to be. As someone who is interested in that world, though very uneducated about the nuances, I found it to be a good and relateable direction. Gosling's got the goods in the charisma department...I thought letting him talk to the audience was a key component for making that movie make sense to a layman. It deserves a rewatch from me for sure. |

There's more humor here than there, but there are a lot of parallels. The cast of "The Big Short" is incredible, even more that the majority are playing understated roles. I like Christian Bale in the spotlight, but he's just as good in a supporting role. Steve Carrell is the highlight for me. Gosling shows he has the chops to keep up with colleagues with some serious chops. I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch. It's got the subtlety of a Coen brothers film without as much vagueness. Don't know if that makes sense. It came off to me as a similar story to "Wolf of Wall Street" (also liked that) but with a little more of an effort to humanize the characters. Then again, I've been known to ramble like Sam Elliot in "The Big Lebowski's" epilogue. Anyway, I think you'll dig it. Definitely worth a go |

In "Forever Female" (1953)... Actress Ginger Rogers breaks the 4th Wall, TWICE, as she talks about the audience, and looks right at "The Audience". It was very cool! |

Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch:
Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?
Yeah, it's not easy to pad these out to 30 minutes.

the ending to The Revenant Leo staring into your soul! Deadpool had some funny ones. and I know a lot of folks aren't fans of Funny Games (2007) but I thought the 4th wall breaks with Michael Pitt's character were clever. |
