Canon self-referencing its own tropes without breaking the 4th wall

[(Anonymous)]

What are some of your favorite examples of a show or book or whatever making a joke about its own set of tropes or cliches, but doing so without breaking the fourth wall and having a character or narrator explicitly address the audience or acknowledge they are fictional characters.

For example, a character in a DC or Marvel comic discussion how dead superheroes always come back to life = yes. Deadpool telling the audience that his writers will bring a character back to life after this arc is finished = no.

Yes. Both French Mistake and Fan Fiction are great examples of this.

To use your example, Professor X once said "It seems that for mutants, heaven does not have pearly gates, but instead has revolving doors." LOL.

I think everyone was having Crisis fatigue by the time Final Crisis ended, and someone in I think one of the Green Lantern books said outright the whole shitstorm with Darkseid was "hopefully our final crisis."

I assume we don't even have to mention the geyser-of-meta that is Grant Morrison...
