What is it called when a character (or even the narrator) in a novel, TV show, movie, etc acknowledges flaws in the writing? Like a character saying that something makes no sense or a plan is full of holes, etc. I'm sure I've read something about it having some sort of proper name, like a way for the author to deflect criticism by saying "yeah I know there's a plothole, or that this is bad writing, look how the script acknowledges it"

I don't believe such a term exists. This requires some nomenclature.

Name 3 (Three (III)) movies where this happens.

What is it called when the picture stops whilst the audio continues? Always loved that effect

His face just screams "if you knew how bad things really were"

The 'Yep...so this is me. Bet you're wondering how we got here' effect

I was thinking more when the action stops whilst the audio from the actual scene continues. Not a narrator moment

She looks sexy doing it, the rest don't.

internet lagging

1) Think an example of a popular movie doing that
2) Look for that movie in tvtropes
3) Search for that trope

Lmao

more generally breaking the fourth wall but I bet tvtropes has a completely cringeworthy name for this specifically that only they ever use

Lel, spot on

I think that's just because she's attractive, user. Partially due to the fact it's a well edited picture. She still looks dumb as shit biting a wire.
