Deadpan Snarker/Radio: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Legendary comedy team [[Bob and Ray|Bob & Ray]] based their entire act around this trope, as applied originally to [[Radio Drama|the medium they worked in]], and later expanded to take in every media trend and fad going. Given their influence on modern American comedy - including but not limited to Bob Newhart and George Carlin - it could be argued that they played a major role in popularising the concept.

* Robin Ince in ''[[Mitch Benns Crimes Against Music]]''. And in real life.

** The current host, Jack Dee, has carried on the tradition, with a few subtle differences. Humph was more bored, Jack is more bitter.

* Spock in the ''Spock Versus Q'' audio plays ''Armageddon Tonight'' and ''Did I say that?''. Technically, ''Q'' is the [[Deadpan Snarker]] for most of the latter play, but only because he's Spock. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].

* ''[[Our Miss Brooks]]'': Miss Brooks' character uses sarcasm with frequency (as does many of the characters she plays in other works).

* First Officer Douglas Richardson in ''[[Cabin Pressure]]''. It's one of the things he does best, and he's good at everything.

'''Arthur''': I don't know. Why, do you think it's the sort of think you're likely to say? }}

** More obviously, Zaphod snarks at Arthur, Ford snarks at Zaphod, Trillian snarks at both of them and Marvin just snarks.
