* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
{{quote|
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Well, once a month she comes into Ponyville.
'''Twilight:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Ooh.]]
'''Rarity:''' Then, she ''lurks'' by the ''stores''.
'''Twilight:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, my.]]
'''Fluttershy:''' And then... she digs at the ground...
'''Twilight:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Good]] ''[[Rule of Three|gracious.]]'' }}
** As mentioned above, Rainbow has her fair share. After Derpy somehow destroys the roof of the Town Hall:
{{quote|
'''Rainbow''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, it's a mystery]]. }}
** And more recently, Princess Luna of all ponies.
{{quote|
'''Luna:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Yes.]] I can tell by all the ''adoring'' shrieks of the children as they ''run away''. }}
* Daria from ''[[
** See also Jane Lane.
** See also, on occasion, Trent Lane, Tom Sloane, Jodie Landon, and Michael Jordan MacKenzie (a.k.a. Mack).
* Brian and Stewie from ''[[
{{quote|
'''Stewie''': Susie.
'''Brian''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Wow, a song named after a girl. There aren't a million of those already.]] }}
** Sometimes Stewie manages to outsnark Brian, though.
{{quote|
'''[[Deadpan Snarker|Stewie]]:''' Yeah, it seemed like they were all set without you, she's done a fine job creating a child-friendly environmen-ta-re-mi-ooh, buh de buh boo, buh buh buh THPTHPTHPTHPT...
''Brian slaps Stewie.''
'''Stewie:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Great parenting.]] }}
* Jen from ''[[Downtown]]'' is this almost all of the time. She also gets the aforementioned deconstruction, admitting that her constant sarcasm comes from her own insecurities, and that the reason she picks on Alex the most is because he's her best friend.
* Hovis in ''[[Catscratch]]''. THE Trope Exemplifier par excellence.
* Tyrone from ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' plays this role both audibly and more often visually. Somehow, despite him not wearing pants, he manages to give the impression he's slouching with his hands stuck in his pockets.
{{quote|
'''Tyrone:''' See? I could have just walked over to get it. Now it's lost!
'''Professors Uniqua & Pablo:''' Poppycock! Inventions are always the way!
'''Tyrone:''' The way to drop my penny. }}
* [[Spider-Man]], especially in the most recent series.
* Scourge occasionally plays this to Cyclonus in ''[[Transformers]]''.
{{quote|
'''Scourge:''' There ''is'' no wind in space. }}
* Huey Freeman on ''[[The Boondocks]]''.
* Frylock on ''[[
* Sparks on ''[[Sealab 2021]]''.
* Similarly, Peanut on ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney
* Sokka on ''[[
{{quote|
'''Sokka:''' Yeah, because we always leave before we get into trouble.... }}
** Toph came in and was able to successfully fulfill, if not surpass him in, this role: "I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't always go so smoothly for our little gang." The creators actually comment on the [[DVD Commentary]] that she took the place Sokka had before [[Throw It In|he shifted to a livelier character from his voice-actor's performance]].
*** Especially funny when the two try to out-snark each other. When looking for Appa, Toph<ref>who is blind</ref> comments on Sokka's [[Sarcasm Mode|great drawing skill]].
{{quote|
'''Sokka:''' ''"Thank you, I worked [[Beat|really...]] Why did you feel the need to do that?"'' }}
** Mai:
{{quote|
'''Mai:''' Saving the jerk who dumped me. }}
*** [http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep33/ep33-1644.png "We lost."]{{Dead link}}
** Katara occasionally gets the chance to be a wise-ass, usually when Sokka does something stupid.
{{quote|
'''Katara''': Flaming Fire Flakes. Hot. Imagine that. }}
*** She also gets like this when Zuko {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn|joins the gang]]}}.
** Even Zuko has his moments, especially in the second season.
{{quote|
'''Zuko''': Uncle. That's what ''all'' tea is. }}
* Almost every character on ''[[
** "Woo-hoo, way to throw those murder balls. Go team, go."
* Shego from ''[[
{{quote|
...
'''Drakken:''' Would it hurt you to show a little enthusiasm?
'''Shego:''' Woohoo, extra hoo. Happy?
...
'''Shego:''' Y'know, for someone who's supposedly a mad genius, I'm not seeing much of the "genius".
'''Dr. Drakken:''' Keep it up Shego, and you'll see plenty of the "mad".
'''Shego:''' Ooh, scary man. }}
** Fun-fact: Shego wasn't originally planned to be like this, but after the directors realized how much talent her voice actress had in doing the [[Deadpan Snarker]], they changed her whole script.
** Kim herself also has her moments.
* In the latter episodes, Stan from ''[[
** And there's ''Craig'' :
{{quote|
...
'''Stan:''' Dude, what is this place?
'''Random guy:''' It's like... an unknown valley that time forgot, where everything grows huge.
'''Craig:''' That's a shock. I decided to follow you, guys, and now I'm in land of a giant's lost world.
...
'''Stan:''' Let's see what's in there.
'''Craig:''' Let's see what's in there. That's why you guys get into these situations. Because when you come across a spooky, ancient ruin, you say: "''Let's see what's in there.''" }}
*** By the end of the episode, the four becomes very annoyed with his remarks and tell him things happen you just run with it.
* Rattrap from ''[[Transformers]]: [[
{{quote|
** Blackarachnia, as the show's resident [[Dark Action Girl]], also qualifies. Especially when dealing with Silverbolt.
* Slapper, Gas Skunk, and Dark Scream do this a lot to their boss, Sky-Byte, in ''[[Transformers]]: Robots in Disguise''.
* ''[[
** Squidward.
** Sandy and Karen can also come off as this at times.
** Patrick was one in the earlier episodes.
* Mandy, from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* Raven in ''[[Teen Titans (
{{quote|
'''Raven:''' Statistically, I suppose ''someone'' has to.
'''Beast Boy:''' >:O }}
** And:
{{quote|
'''Raven:''' Well, that's not suspicious... }}
*** Could be [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] except for the, "tall," part.
** Cyborg has his moments, too.
{{quote|
'''Cyborg:''' (behind his back) More like find out if she'll give him another kiss... }}
* Hawkgirl from ''[[Justice League]]'', who especially had a talent for dishing verbal ownage out on Flash:
{{quote|
'''Hawkgirl:''' [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Which probably explains why you can't get a date.]] }}
** In his few brief appearances, villain Shade has his moments:
{{quote|
** As does General Wade Eiling, especially after becoming the General. He spends most of his battle against the League's [[Badass Normal|Badass Normals]] mocking them.
** Batman and Green Lantern at times, especially in later seasons.
Line 120:
** Throttle fits this trope, too.
* Courage's computer in ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''. Being forced to do research on zombie film directors and methods of exorcising a mattress will do that to anyone, though.
* Laura in ''[[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist]]''.
{{quote|
'''Laura:''' Could you go now? }}
* Norm the Genie from ''[[The Fairly
* ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
** Comic Book Guy to the point where he causes a sarcasm detector to ''self-destruct''.
** Lisa often fills this role occasionally, especially when interacting with the severely less intelligent Bart and Homer. While Lisa fought for things that she believed in the earlier seasons and actual took concern in Homer or Bart's dilemmas, she has been reduced to a pure example of this in the current seasons. [http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/media/framegrabs/season23/s23e18/s23e18_261.jpg "Beware of My Cheating Bart" is a text book example of this]{{Dead link}}.
** Bart can also act in this role when dealing with Homer.
** Deconstructed briefly in "Homerpalooza" when Homer gets up on stage to perform his newfound skill of taking cannonballs to the gut:
{{quote|
'''Teen #2:''' Are you being sarcastic, dude?
'''Teen #1:''' I don't even know anymore... }}
* Spanky Ham on ''[[Drawn Together]]''.
* The last episode of ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' featured superhero-in-training Sarcastro, [[A Worldwide Punomenon|a man dressed as Fidel Castro who was sarcastic]]. In fact, being really sarcastic was his only stated superpower, and the only time he got to use it in a heroic fashion (he spent most of the episode snarking at the Tick and the other superhero cadets) was when he faced down the [[Monster of the Week]], a hitman using a suit of [[Powered Armor]]:
{{quote|
* Digeri Dingo from ''Taz-Mania'' is by far the most sarcastic character on the show.
* D. W. from ''[[Arthur]]'' often switches between being the Deadpan Snarker and a [[Large Ham]].
{{quote|
* ''[[Darkwing Duck (
{{quote|
'''Darkwing:''' Yeah, she's in a bug costume threatening a cockroach. I'd call that strange. }}
* ''[[Futurama]]'':
** Kif Kroker,
** Hermes Conrad, Bureaucrat becomes this in the 2010 season of ''[[Futurama]]'' For instance, after Fry says [[It Makes Sense in Context|he needs a disgusting body to switch with to prove a point to Leela]] (paraphrased):
{{quote|
'''Hermes''': ''The long search is over.'' }}
{{quote|
{{quote|
'''Fry''': ''Thanks, eagle eye.'' }}
* Obi-Wan in ''[[Star Wars:
{{quote|
'''Anakin''': There's a good chance that we're about to destroy all life on this planet, including ours and the senator's. ''So, yes,'' I'm a bit on edge! Why aren't you?
'''Obi-Wan''': ''(shrugs)'' I'm better at hiding it. }}
* [[Mega Man (
{{quote|
'''Protoman:''' "Almost" only counts in horseshoes, Cutman. }}
* Though quite a few characters engaged in snark on ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (
* In the show ''[[Liberty's Kids]]'', both Sarah and James switch off in playing this role. More often than not, it's James snarking about how stuffy the high society that Sarah was born into is. Though Sarah has been known to throw a great deal of snark right back at him about how infantile Americans in general -- and James specifically -- can be.
** Baron von Steuben, despite only being in one episode, has his moments:
{{quote|
'''Baron von Steuben''': How can I appreciate what you don't have? }}
* C.A.R. on ''[[The Replacements]]'', usually at Dick's expense.
* Garfield in ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', especially when dealing with someone he finds particularly obnoxious, like [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Nermal]] or [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong|the Buddy Bears]].
* Sam(antha) Manson on ''[[Danny Phantom]]'':
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' Does he have to [[Accidental Innuendo|take off his pants]] ''and'' act like a dweeb, or will either one do? }}
** Tucker actually has his moments like this, as well:
{{quote|
'''Tucker:''' Start with your aim. }}
* Nikki Wong on ''[[
* Raggedy Andy in the Chuck Jones ''Raggedy Ann and Andy'' shorts.
** From "The Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile":
{{quote|
'''Raggedy Ann:''' You can't make someone happy by making someone else sad!
'''Raggedy Andy:''' Ever try it? }}
* Ulrich of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', usually in response to Odd's latest idiocy or Jérémie's [[Techno Babble]]. Yumi can get into this too at times.
* Dukey from ''[[Johnny Test]]'' is a mix of a [[Deadpan Snarker]], a voice of reason and a [[Large Ham]].
* Phaeton from ''[[Exo Squad]]'' is this. Which is odd, given that he's the [[Big Bad]].
* June from ''[[
* Iago from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''. [[Animated Series|The series]] also added [[Beleaguered Assistant|Haroud]] and [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|Mozenrath]].
* While all of the main characters on the series indulge from time to time, "Doc" Hartford of the ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
{{quote|
* Chloe from ''[[Littlest Pet Shop (
* Batman picks this up in ''[[Batman:
* Jay Sherman's make-up lady Doris Grossman from ''[[The Critic]]''.
* Candace from ''[[
** Linda when Candace tries to bust her brothers and when Candace is a [[Deadpan Snarker]] herself.
** Ferb, with empasis on "Deadpan"
** Roger Doofenshmirtz's secretary Melony
* Evangelyne from ''[[
* Doyle from ''[[The Secret Saturdays]]''. After the family finds out that {{spoiler|the [[Kid Hero]] is the ultimate evil monster they were all trying to hunt down, the patriarch of the family forbids them to tell anyone about this.}}
{{quote|
** His sister is the same. But then, what else can you expect from the voice actress of [[Kim Possible|Shego]]?
* Tino Tonitini of ''[[The Weekenders]]''.
{{quote|
'''Carver:''' She's ''waving at me?'' Isn't there a law against that?
'''Tino:''' ''(deadpan)'' Yeah, it's enforced by the Federal Bureau of Waving. }}
* Double D from ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]''.
* Anne and Suzie both have tendencies of this now and then in ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]'', as does Henry when dealing with [[Plucky Comic Relief|Stanley's antics]].
* ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' has Lenny and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Kyle]]. The latter even uses the "zing!" on occassion.
{{quote|
'''Kyle''': That's the ''only'' way you could make a friend. }}
* Larry 3000 from ''[[Time Squad]]'', which is rather obvious, since he's a [[Camp Gay]] [[Expy]] of the [[Star Wars|C-3P0]].
* Philip from ''[[Delta State]]''
* Lancelot and King Arthur in ''[[King
{{quote|
'''King Arthur''': Oh? This is your tree? Well, good for you then.
'''Lancelot''': Look, I don't want to cause doom and despondency, but I really think we oughtta GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!
'''Lancelot''': That's the fountain of youth? I expected it to be more.....impressive. }}

* The Brain of ''[[
{{quote|
'''Brain:''' "That's a simple task, Pinky." }}
* Tunnel Rat on [[G.I. Joe: Renegades]].

{{quote|
'''Gaz:''' "I've got a squeedlyspooch."
'''Gaz:''' "Why do you have to have a head?" }}
* Shep from ''[[Horseland]]''.
Line 224 ⟶ 225:
** Surprisingly, Scooby Doo is one at times.
* In ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'', Rodimus Prime is prone to this.
{{quote|
* Robotnik, from [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]].
{{quote|
'''Robotnik:''' Get to the point or your name will be M.U.D. }}
* Raphael is the resident snarker, in the animated ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]].''
{{quote|
* Mrs. Dink, Porkchop (who can't even talk), and Beebe from ''[[Doug]]''
* T.J., Vince, and Spinelli on ''[[Recess]]''
** King Bob, when he's not being a [[Large Ham]]
** Apparently, Miss Grotke when she needs to be one
* Sgt. Mike Cosgrove from ''[[Freakazoid
* Brandy and Margo from ''[[Brandy and Mr. Whiskers]]''. Also, Ed has a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor if you pay close attention to his dialogue.
* Each lead of ''[[
* Bloo, Frankie, Jackie Khones, and Fluffer Nutter in ''[[
** Mac becomes one around season three-ish
* Rocko from ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', but only when he's annoyed.
* Pip in ''Kerwhizz'' is a voiceless example, growling in frustration at Ninki's wrong answers.
* ''[[
* The main characters of [[WITCH (
* Dee Dee from ''[[
* Simon in the 80's cartoon version of ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]'' got deadpan snarkier as the series went on, from occasionally snarky in the first couple of seasons to practically every response being sarcastic.
** Theodore had his moments as well.
* Raimundo from ''[[
* Almost every single character from [[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]. This show's humor ran on two things: playing with, subverting or deconstructing fantasy tropes and pure grade-A snark. Most prominent in this regard was probably Monroe, [[Snarky Non
