For me, it has to be this scene from Bakemonogatari:

For me it's the finale of Gintama(2018) when Gintoki made his speech and said that Gintama is coming to an end.

Every episode of Shinya Tensai Bakabon. I've never seen so much 4th wall breaking in one show before.

The ending of Doki Doki Literature Club VN in terms of "best fourth wall breaking scene I've ever witnessed"

for anime, I haven't seen it happen very often so I would have to go with Gintama. No scene in particular since it breaks the fourth wall a lot and most of the time it's hilarious.

Another one for Gintama, they always talk about how bad the show is doing, that they've been moved to late night TV and it's ending.

As above, the ending court case is probably the best overall.

All the 4th wall breaking scenes from Saiki Kusuo no psi nan, because he is often casually talking to the audience, and it's obvious that he is constainlty aware of us.

"So, who do you think will replace protagonist of part 3,Kujo Jotaro?
I hope you dont think it will be you." -jotaro

This was a memorable 4th wall break for me. I didn't expect at all at that time.

Well, comedies do 4th-wall breaks easily.

But for serious stuff, Jojo is epic.

Anything from Anshinin from Medaka Box (also a work of Nisio Isin, like Bakemonogatari), really:

Too bad we will never see that animated.

Ergo Proxy.
There are many of them.
If you have watched it, one of them is The Game Show episode.

End of Evangelion has the best "breaking the 4th wall" moments, e.g. the audience watching Death and Rebirth, the death threats, etc.

Most, if not all, 4th wall breaking scenes on Hayate No Gotoku.

That's the very first anime that introduced me about 4th wall breaking.
