Red guy is usually the person who will turn to the camera and ask a question (ex: episode 4 of the web series he turns to the camera and asks “In this digital world, what can we do?” And then after not getting answered repeats “What can we do?” With annoyance in his voice, to which the teacher of the episode finally answers) In the end of same episode he walks in on a bootleg filming of episode 1, causing his head to explode most likely due to being forced to acknowledge he’s in a web series
In episode 6 he’s the one who finds, messes with, and pulls the plug to the control panel, in the process of trying to figure out the control panel he spawns in and despawns multiple different used and unused teachers, witnessing on the monitor as they torment Yellow Guy. However, he doesn’t seem to retain this information across the web series into the television series.
In the intro to episode 3 of the TV series (Family) Red screams “We live in an aCTUAL NIGHTMARE” implying he may be aware of their situation as television characters, however this could also just be due to the circumstances of the previous two episodes.
Squid Baron:
His entire joke is build around him becoming self-aware of his role as a video game character and consequently, his role as a “filler boss” in the series with no actual relation to the plot. This leads to him suffering “post-boss-syndrome”. Yes that’s apparently a thing in these games. All he wants now is to not be a filler boss again and wishes for a new purpose in life, in this case, getting to star in his very own videogame, leading to him constantly making fun of the Shantae series and videogames in general. Also as soon as Squid Baron shows up suddenly EVERYONE around him becomes self aware. Squid Baron isn’t just a fourth wall breaker, he’s a fourth wall wreaking ball. He’s what you get when you try to divide the fourth wall by 0
