  • A meta-reference is used in fiction, when the characters break the "fourth wall" - the barrier between characters and audience. For example, in Family Guy, the characters sometimes refer to "our viewers" as if they are aware that their life is a stage. This is a meta-reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-reference
  • Good question. An example would be the famous pipe painting by René Magritte, now in the LA County Museum of Art. It shows a pipe with a written sentence underneath, stating "This is not a pipe." The statement is correct, because it is a painted pipe. This painting is self-reflective, and thus it contains a meta-reference.
  • It refers to a moment of commentary or dialogue spoken by an actor or any character referring to the situation that he or the character is in. Something like self reference ?!?! Example : Absolute Astronomy .com - Wherein fictional characters display an awareness that they are in such a work, such as a film, television show or book. ( For ex .By pointing to the audience ) .
