Fourth Wall Jokes are a frequent running gag in Grojband. They happen when one of the characters in the show acknowledges the fact that they exist within a TV show. The most common one that occurs at the end of every episode when Corey says "Thanks for coming out everyone" before shutting the garage door.

Trivia[]
- Technically, Corey breaks the fourth wall in every episode when he tells his morals to the audience of the show. However, this wouldn't be considered a joke as it is portrayed in more of an "Aside" kind of way, with him giving a monologue speech to the audience while staying in character, talking about the events of the situation and teaching a life lesson the the viewers, to help them have a better understanding of the situation and what they should be learning, as well as becoming more engaged with the character, seeing him talk directly to them and treat them as his friend.
- A fourth wall joke is also used on the Grojband website Grojband - The Show Must Go On!, where Kin acknowledges the Wicked Cool Transitions and explains to them how they use them to get to places faster. Kin started directly talking to the user of the website and the rest of the band came up to him, confused as to who he is talking to.
- It is unknown why Corey, Kon, and Laney didn't know who Kin was talking to, as all three of them have broken the fourth wall multiple times before. Especially Corey who talks aside to the audience the same way he does in the form of his morals.
