Has it ever happened (in a comic book, or TV show, or movie or anything) where Deadpool breaks the fourth wall and another character responds to it? Whether it's joining in and breaking the fourth wall with him, or being confused by his strange remarks and questioning him, or anything else?

11In the few Deadpool comics I've actually read, it's happened in all of them. I recall a scene where another character responds to his thought bubbles, and he's like "Oops, mixed up my thought and speech bubbles again." And it happened in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. I'm sure you'll get cited actual issues.– user31178Feb 17, 2016 at 6:47

Here's possibly the first canon instance of Deadpool referring to previous issues of his own comic, while speaking to Bullseye (Deadpool vol. 1 #28, I believe)– BlazemongerFeb 18, 2016 at 18:02

There are multiple times to prove that some shenanigans were going on. Let's dig into some of the comics:
The time when he was narrating himself and he got caught, again:
The time when he invited +200 characters to his wedding. Some of them are from other comic book universes/different studios.
And then there is this one. He says what the other characters are supposed to say.
And I think this is one of the most obvious ones that can explain your question.
I think the characters around him would realise there is something weird going on, if he would just let them understand.

15Props to you, the first image here is the incident I was thinking of! The others are nice. I do think that most characters just think Deadpool is actually insane. Maybe they know he thinks he's in a comic book, but that's part of his psychosis, to them.– user31178Feb 17, 2016 at 6:54

2@CreationEdge: But in reality he is the only one who isn't insane.... Oh no he is aware of us... Is he going to get me, the next time I open my book of him? :x– ZaibisFeb 17, 2016 at 10:05

7@Zaibis - Now you sound like you're reading The Monster at the End of this Book (which of course also breaks the 4th wall nearly every page. Sometimes literally).– T.E.D.Feb 17, 2016 at 15:11

3@Agent_L The point of the first image is the "up in one of the little boxes" comment, not the self-narration. It's referring to the comic's thought bubbles. That's definitely breaking the fourth wall. Feb 17, 2016 at 18:43

4I don't understand where he breaks the fourth wall, or where the other character acknowledges it in the 3rd one. Care to explain that one? Feb 17, 2016 at 21:28
In the recent movie, Deadpool (2016), there's a scene where Deadpool is talking to the audience and Colossus says "Who are you talking to? There's nobody around" to which Deadpool points at the camera and says "Them, over there!"

If I remember correctly, this panel is from the non-canon "previously on Deadpool"-type segment at the beginning of his comics.– LiesmithFeb 18, 2016 at 6:31

Ultimate Spider-Man Season 2 Episode 15 Ultimate Deadpool - Funniest Scene
Deadpool breaks 4th wall, then Spidey enters his break and is confused, how that happened.
Deadpools breaks 4th wall
Spidey entered Deadpool's break and is confused how, and breaks Deadpools break.
--
And the other way round Spider-Man sees Deadpool breaking the 4th wall, and is confused, because Deadpool is painting on his thoughts and Spider-Man sees it.
2.1.: Spidey breaks 4th wall
2.2 - Deadpool enters Spidey's break
2.3 - Spidey is confused by Deadpool's entering
out of the same episode:
3.1 Spidey breaks 4th wall
3.2. Deadpools entered Spidey's break
3.3 Spidey interacts with Deadpools's break
In Cable & Deadpool (the story arc in issues 43-50, I don't know which one specifically), he references Spider-Man's deal with Mephisto, even though the deal itself completely re-wrote the timeline to the point where no other character (including Spidey) was aware of it:
She-Hulk would be the only character to get what he's doing, since she has done it many times before herself. Yes, she's also aware that she is in a comicbook.
Don't remember the issue, but one time there was a not-in-universe recap page that took the form of a talk show, and then in the actual in-universe comic later he references the recap page and the person with him at the time (who had also been on the recap page) is confused.
