I wish my waifu would break the fourth wall and tell me she loves me

It can be funny, but not if it's used too often.

I wished more series ended with them the only one I can thing of is beavers and that didn't air

Honestly i was hoping Deadpool would be more meta and ripping into comic book readers for being too contrarian and having no lives of their own.

I love it. Don't care how overused it is, I love it.

Humour yes, but also when it's used for drama, or even as narrative framing.

Or when they have a 4th wall inside the fourth wall, like in the Lego Movie.

they were cool 10 years ago

Depends on how you use them.

If you use them once in a while, they're good.

If you force them, like having characters all of a sudden being aware they're in a cartoon for no reason that LOLSORANDUM WE ARE THE NEW DEADPOOL GUYZ, that's bad.

If the only joke in the show is that there is no fourth wall (such as the CGI Garfield cartoon, where after a while the main joke is "HI GUYS THIS IS THE BEST CARTOON EVER MADE AND EVERYBODY LOVES IT")... well, that is just annoying.

They have to be done with subtlety, or all out. No in between. Half-assed fourth wall breaks are cringeworthy.

I remember the Chowder one where the animation budget ran out so the voice actors had to do a car wash to raise more funds. That was funny.

Chowder and Gumball are the cartoons that pull that off the best

It can be good with some wit. A lot of poor writers seem to think that simply acknowledging the fourth wall is a good joke, when in reality it should be a good joke written around the idea of breaking the fourth wall.
