Line 6:
* Richard from ''[[Looking for Group]]''.
** "I'm no physician, but there appears to be a dagger in my chest."
* [[Labor Day]] in [[Holiday Wars]] often delivers these types of lines. The first time he did so happened in [
* Antimony and Reynardine from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''.
{{quote|
'''Antimony:''' Don't be so cocky. You don't have any lungs. }}
* Jason Grey in ''[[The Wotch]]'' (and [[Gender Bender|Sonja]] as well).
* Stickman from ''[[Stickman and Cube]]''.
* Zodon from the web- and print-comic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120223043123/http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238/ PS238]''.
* Tycho in ''[[Penny Arcade]]''.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' is a [[World of Snark]], so it may takes some times...
Line 18:
** Among the supporting roles, Vaarsuvius plays this role often.
** As does Belkar, post-fake [[Character Development]].
{{quote|
'''Belkar:''' Yeah, and I'm going to drop a house on you and sing about how I represent the Lollipop Guild. C'mon, let's keep our threats realistic, shall we? }}
** On the evil side, this role is usually taken by Redcloak, who is often paired up with [[Card-Carrying Villain|over-the-top cliched bad guy]] Xykon or the [[Cloudcuckoolander|adorably naive]] Monster in the Darkness.
{{quote|
'''MitD:''' Yeah, I can help with that.
'''Redcloak:''' Really? So, I guess those three boxes of mallomars you finished off somehow earned you enough XP to gain 5 levels in cleric overnight.
'''MitD:''' Well, they were especially chewy....
'''Redcloak:''' Then unless you are volunteering your services as raw materials, I don't think you are going to be much help. }}
** Half of the named characters get a crowning moment of snark or two, and some unnamed. Bonus points to [[Spoony Bard]] Elan, who's not particularly bright most of the time, doubles as his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he {{spoiler|pulls a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment on Varsuvius when he/she [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0596.html killed a minor villain purely because he/she was impatient that the plot wasn't moving fast enough for his/her taste].}}
Line 32:
** Early in the comic's run, Faye and Martin got their new apartment because the landlady liked their snarkiness.
* Kadeen of ''[[Knights Errant (webcomic)|Knights Errant]]'' gets an honorable mention for snarking while suffering from a massive chest wound.
* Nearly all the cast of ''[[Something
** And thus, probably Milholland himself, as well.
* ''[[Adventurers!]]!'' has one in each camp: Ardam for the heroes and Argent for the villains. Though Ardam is usually more "exasperated" than "deadpan".
* Jason in ''[[Multiplex]]''. Funnily enough, he is often confused for an [[Author Avatar]], which the author denies... to some extent.
* Most of the cast of ''[[Lackadaisy Cats]]'' indulges in some snark, but Zib almost ''exists'' to offer his sarcastic take on matters.
Line 40:
* Any character in ''[[Antihero for Hire]]'' who isn't a) Doctor Nefarious b) ice-powered guy still looking for a name c) Baron Diamond. And they have their moments.
* Half the regular [non-superhero] cast in ''Head Trip'', Lilian especially, plus Chemokid.
* A vast majority of the cast of ''[[8-Bit Theater
* Kei in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20170802124754/http://www.revenant-braves.schala.net/ Circumstances of the Revenant Braves]''.
* Emperor Krosp in ''[[Girl Genius]]''. Then again, he is a cat. It comes with the territory.
** Wooster gets in his digs, too. (Though as he's British that also comes with the territory.)
Line 47:
** And [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080609 airman 3rd class Axel Higgs].
** What about our heroine Agatha?
{{quote|
}}
** Carson von Mekkhan seems to have this as his default setting.
** Dr. Sun is infamous for his "[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110204 sun-ny bedside manner]."
** In fact it's fair to say ''[[Girl Genius]]'' is a [[World of Snark]].
* Dewey from ''[[Unshelved]]''.
{{quote|
'''Dewey:''' If being right is wrong, I don't want to be right. Nah, I still want to be right. }}
* Nancy in ''[[Rhapsodies]]''.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* Marius from ''[[My Life in Blue]]''.
* While Artax tries it occasionally...
{{quote|
'''Artax:''' Really? Have you been seeing someone we don't know about? }}
::... [[Nodwick]] does it more or less nonstop.
{{quote|
'''Nodwick:''' Did she say where She Who went?
'''Artax:''' To The Lands Which Know No Name!
'''Nodwick:''' Uh-huh... let me know if we find any proper nouns in all this mess. }}
* In ''[[RPG World]]'', every member of the main cast gets a turn at deadpan snarking, even [[The Ditz|the dim-witted Hero]]. [[Only Sane Man|Cherry]], [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Eikre]], and [[Wrench Wench|Reka]] are the most frequent offenders.
* Most of the cast of ''[[Fletcher Apts]]'' except for Kia and Mr.Fletcher.
* Mr. Snippy in ''[[Romantically Apocalyptic]]''.
{{quote|
'''Mr. Snippy:''' You are an idiot.
'''Captain:''' What? No... Why?
'''Mr. Snippy:''' ''[holding up a cell phone with a destroyed screen]'' To illustrate, I shall take a photo of your epic failure with my phone. }}
* Susan in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', natch.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* Bunker from ''[[Sandusky]]''.
* Brent Sienna from ''[[PvP]]''.
** Disputed in [https://web.archive.org/web/20110915042506/http://www.pvponline.com/2010/04/07/family-matters-2/ Family Matters] by Francis, who thinks Brent has become more of a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]. Francis also suggests that the new deadpan snarker be Max Powers.
* Reuben from ''[[Woods for The Trees]]''.
* Daniel from ''[[Footloose (webcomic)|Footloose]]'', which can result in his receiving a smack (or boot) upside the head from his twin sister Jin.
Line 91 ⟶ 92:
* [[Badass Driver|Max's]] reaction to having his leg blown off by a suit case bomb? ''[http://www.waywardcross.com/?p=49 Snark.]''.
* Plenty of snark in ''[[Exterminatus Now]]''. Earliest example:
{{quote|
'''Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel''': Did it work?
'''Eastwood''': No, you just looked like a regular ass.
'''Virus''': Ha. And indeed, ha. Don't quit your day job Harry. }}
* Most of the main cast of [[Rumors of War]], and a good chunk of the periphery characters are snarky -- possibly to the point of creating a veritable [[World of Snark]].
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
* ''[[The Word Weary]]'' features a character named Yorick who has yet to have a line that ISN'T dead snarky.
* Charlie from ''[[Khaos Komix]]'' has shades of this.
* Ozy of ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' is a fairly straight example. One prominent case of his wit acting up came when [https://web.archive.org/web/20130809172547/http://ozyandmillie.org/2003/01/13/ozy-and-millie-1077/ Avery declared himself to be a "bad boy".]
* Yuudai from ''[[Sakana]]'' is this occasionally, which fits well with his general [[Jerkass]] personality.
* Howard from ''[[Zodiac Blues]]'', even when he's facing his worst fears.
* Art from [[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]] is like this whenever he isn't busy being an [[Adult Child]].
{{quote|
* Sheila in ''[[At Arm's Length (webcomic)|At Arms Length]]'' within her group of friends. Also Kaige at times.
* Alex Williams of ''[[Captain SNES]]'' can be extremely sarcastic.
Line 112 ⟶ 113:
** Also Peridot, Almond, what little we've seen of Saturday, the two cake ladies, Saturday's butler...
** ...The Nightmare Knight...
{{quote|
'''NK''': This is the queen.
'''Splashmaster''': So?
'''NK''': '''So''', this isn't the princess. They're ''two different people.'' Surely even [[The Ditz|''you'']] can grasp this concept.
'''Splashmaster''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|But queen just older fatter princess!]] }}
* A few characters in ''[[Sinfest]]'', including Slick and Nique, but especially The Dragon, personification of Eastern religion. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209192004/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=128 Especially] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209183702/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=599 on the subject] of [this https://web.archive.org/web/20140209171357/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1401 whole] "[
