Talking To Himself is dewicked


Related to InformingTheFourthWall in that both exist because of the RuleOfPerception. Not to be confused with TalkingToHimself or TalkingToThemself. Compare RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear for this trope applied to phone conversations. May result in an AccidentalIncantation.

noticed my mistake that the opening scene has Neil Armstrong's voiceover (which is almost this trope, only added to not be silent)


* [[FridgeLogic Unexplainable]] example from the dubbing variety: the opening scene of ''Film/IndependenceDay'' is set on the Moon, where a large shadow (the alien ship) comes over the Sea of Tranquility, which features a plaque left there by the Apollo 11. In the Brazilian dubbing, the plaque's text is read in Portuguese by an in-character voice-over. And the aliens in that movie don't have oral means of communications, and they wouldn't know the Earth languages.... The Brazilian distributors may have simply found it an easier way to translate what was on the plaque.

* In the ''SherlockHolmes'' canon, whenever Holmes is given a letter, he invariably hands it to Watson, who reads it aloud, ostensibly to himself. Some scholars have theorized that Holmes, who we are told is disinterested in literature and formal schooling, may be functionally illiterate. The stories are supposed to be Watson's popular accounts of his friend's adventures, so it's odd that he doesn't consistently "reproduce the letter for the benefit of the reader" or somesuch.
