The characters don't directly acknowledge or talk to the camera, but the film's plot and humor is very meta and self-aware and regularly comments on itself.

It's less a joke than Charlie self-abusing about his weight.

This might depend on your interpretation. It ends on a seemingly optimistic note, with Charlie indicating that he feels hope for the first time, although arguably this is a parody of a stereotypically glib Hollywood ending (as Charlie has suffered a major personal loss and possibly sold out in terms of his script). Overall I would say the ending is more tongue-in-cheek than either "happy" or "sad".

About 42 minutes in, as John is backing out of his driveway with his mom, uncle, and wife in the car. The impact is shown from inside the car and the injuries and aftermath are shown over the next minute or so.
