James says 'For you folks at home, here's a play-by-play.' Brock quotes the narrator 'It's an intriguing little village, Misty!' While Jessie is escaping via unicycle, she hums along with a few bars of the chase music.ДЄfter the narrator introduces Rikishii Town as 'an intriguing little village', Misty asks the others where they are. While inside Team Rocket's Noctowl mecha, Meowth exclaims 'And we're gonna capture that colorful Noctowl right after we get back from the next commercial!' When Ash and Misty are about the throw their Lure Balls to catch Totodile, they both push the split screen that's between them when telling each other to back off. When the bridge is about to collapse, Meowth says 'We usually don't wash out this early in the episode!' When Team Rocket states that they were attacked by the pirates, Meowth says 'It's flashback time.' Jessie also pushes the split screen away. Team Rocket acknowledges the existence of a split screen. When Misty tells Ash and Pikachu to come back from the fruit basket, their run towards the basket is simply rewound. When James says that the way they got out of their own traps is a secret, Jessie supports him by saying 'The writers can't figure it out, either.'ДЄfter pointing out the fact that Ash and company are yet again enjoying pleasant, beautiful, tropical weather on the seas, the narrator says 'Announcers never get to have any fun!', thus acknowledging his existence as a narrator.ДЄt the end of the episode, Team Rocket responds to the narrator's comment of 'All's well that ends well.' After a second, Meowth calls 'Hey! Down here! I'm down here!', followed by the camera panning down to him, indicating that Meowth was aware of the screen focusing on Jessie and James instead of him. When James gets Butch's name wrong, Butch goes out of his screen split to correct it, meaning he knows it's there.ДЄfter Team Rocket runs into Crystal Onix's cave, the screen focuses on Jessie and James catching breath.

When Jessie and James start to say the motto, Meowth uses a remote to fast-forward it. When Keith tricked Team Rocket by giving them some Voltorb, Meowth said 'He tricked us two times in one episode.'Дuring the ending, when the narrator credits Psyduck with saving the rest of Misty's PokГ©mon from Keith, Psyduck, in its own language, happily replies to him. The last lines of Team Rocket's theme song are 'We want to capture Pikachu we hope to do it soon / and when we do we'll be the new stars of this cartoon!' Ash answers with 'Well, Pikachu IS the star.' This victory is for them.'ДЄt the end, when the kids were saying good-bye, Ash thought they were asking for his signature, when they were really wanting Pikachu's. Team Rocket mentions that their evolved PokГ©mon are being shown 'for the first time on TV'.ДЄfter Team Rocket finishes their motto, James says 'We'd like to thank all of our fans for their loyalty and support. When Team Rocket appears with a new mecha without Ash and his friends noticing, Jessie and James introduce their new plan to the audience (Jessie even says 'Tell them, James!'), and Meowth asks who they are talking to. James tells Jessie 'I hate to interrupt your internal dream sequence, but.', meaning that he was aware of her fantasy scene. Misty orders the narrator not to congratulate her for 'capturing' her Psyduck. Jessie responds they have to fill a half hour. James asks why they didn't just fly away with the PokГ©mon from the start after their Mirror scheme fails. Jessie remarks that their early arrival in the episode is based on the half-hour time constraint involving the show. He then remembers, and points out to the audience, that the show's cartoonists never gave him a nose. Meowth complains that Gloom's horrible stench must have melted his nose from his face. James says 'Drat! We wasted this episode cheering the good guys!' The narrator asks Ash to name his PokГ©mon, which Ash does.

While breaking up an argument between Ash and Misty, Brock comments that they're running late and have to start the show. The most common characters to do this are Team Rocket. Most of these examples are from the English dub. In the anime, the fourth wall has been broken numerous times.
