Line 44: '''Lemmy:''' Is that so? '''Hiroyuki:''' Were you even listening to us before? }} * Domeki in ''[[~~xxxHolic~~×××HOLiC]]'', who seems to have the unusual ability to ''always'' maintain a deadpan and monotone expression no matter what happens in order to add to his snarking ability. {{spoiler\|Unless, that is, Watanuki is actually being serious and introspective, at which point he can't think of anything to say. Such as when Watanuki stupidly trades his eye away to help him or announces that he is taking of the shop until Yuuko (presumed dead, but there's reincarnation and stuff) returns.}} * Okara from ''[[Samurai 7]]''. * Helen from ''[[Claymore]]''. Line 113: * There are three types of characters in [[One Piece]]: [[Deadpan Snarker\|Deadpan Snarkers]], [[Complete Monster\|Complete Monsters]], and Total Idiots. Sometimes characters will wear different hats (e.g. Usopp, who occasionally plays the fool, or plays snarker to Luffy's idiocy). Many characters share multiple roles, switching back and forth between them, and there are very few characters who are completely serious such that they display neither any ounce of stupidity or some snarker tendencies at some point. * [[Kanamemo]] has Hinata and Saki. * ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' franchise: ** [[Anti-Hero\|Vegeta]] ~~from ''[[Dragon Ball]]''~~ fits this trope better than the rest of characters, with Piccolo most likely being 2nd. {{quote\|'''[[Anti-Hero\|Vegeta]]:''' Welcome to the end of your life... and I promise it's going to hurt.}} ::Or... {{quote\|'''[[Anti-Hero\|Vegeta (to Android 18)]]:''' If you give up now I promise to turn you into something practical, like a toaster or a washing machine.}} :* Even more then him [[Overshadowed by Awesome\|Yamcha]]. {{quote\|'''[[Anti-Hero\|Vegeta (to Krillin and Yamcha)]]:''' Whatever. Just stay out of my way when I tear [[Big Bad\|Cell]] apart.}} Line 123 ⟶ 124: {{quote\|'''[[Overshadowed by Awesome\|Yamcha]]:''' This coming from the guy who was beat senseless by Cell?}} *: Tien too. When Android 18 came to Kami's Lookout Yamcha tries to scare her off (While keeping his distance). {{quote\|'''[[The Chick\|Yamcha]]:''' Gohan's here, and he's stronger then Cell so why don't you get out of here.~~<br />~~ '''[[Sixth Ranger\|Tien]]:''' Um... why don't you come a little closer and say that? }} :* Speaking of Android 18, her sarcasm is one of her most defining traits. When asked if her real name is legitimately "No. 18", she responds "My father was pretty dull". (In the original version, she replies "It doesn't matter" before tossing the number at the World Tournament Announcer). She was kidding, by the way, her birth name ({{spoiler\|Lazuli}}) had not been revealed at the time. * From [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], There's [[Hot Scientist\|Ritsuko]], [[Shrinking Violet\|Shinji]], [[Defrosting Ice Queen\|Rei]] and [[Handsome Lech\|Kaji]]. * [[Black Lagoon]] has several, but the most prevalent are [[Genius Bruiser\|Dutch]], [[Anti-Villain\|Benny]], [[Magnificent Bitch\|Balalaika]] and [[Faux Affably Evil\|Mr. Chang]]. Line 136 ⟶ 138: * Kuroko, the [[The Stoic\|eternally deadpan]] titular character of ''[[Kuroko no Basuke]]'', is this. * About half the cast of ''[[Bleach]]'' trade off doing this. ''Especially'' [[The Snark Knight\|Ichigo.]] * A good number of characters in the ''[[Monogatari (series)\|Monogatari]]'' series. Hitagi is seemingly incapable of speaking in a manner other than this. {{reflist}}
