== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* Dr. Gregory House, of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''.

* Artie in ''[[Glee]]''.
* Walt Jr. in ''[[Breaking Bad]]''
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* Jimmy Brooks in ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]''. Viewers get to see him develop this trait over time as a coping mechanism.
* Jace Newfield of the [[Disney Channel|DCOM]] ''Going to the Mat.'' He even gets [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|called out]] on his constant wisecracking.
{{quote| '''Mary Beth:''' People don't care that you're blind. They're turned off because they think you're a total snob.}}
* Billy Homer in ''[[Press Gang]]''. And then some.

* Emmett, the so-called "Deaf James Dean" on ''[[Switched at Birth (TV series)|Switched at Birth]]''

Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Rin]] from ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''. [[H-Game POV Character|Hisao]] is also this.
** Shizune also falls here. Hisao wonders whether she had difficulty learning the concept of sarcasm without the ability to sense tone, though.
* ''[[Portal 2]]'' has {{spoiler|[[G La DOSGLaDOS]] when she becomes temporarily trapped in a potato.}}
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
* Davan's sister Dahlia in ''[[Something *Positive]]'', although her snark is pretty much a family trait, only amplified by the people who confuse "disabled" with "retarded".
* Ken Spence in ''[[Magellan]]''.
* Dr. Birding, a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] stand-in for Stephen Hawking from ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* Toph Beifong of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Since she's a [[Little Miss Badass]] with a [[Disability Superpower]], being blind doesn't cause her that many problems, but she's always got a sharp crack on hand for when it does.
** She likes to roundaboutly call attention to the fact by commenting on appearances. She gets Sokka with that one a lot.
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' Toph I was going through town and I saw this. (Shows a Wanted poster of Toph)<br />
'''Toph:''' Well it ''sounds'' like a piece of paper, but I guess it's what's on the paper that's important. }}
* Jimmy in ''[[South Park]]''.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* Another Real Life example: [[wikipedia:John Callahan (cartoonist)|John Callahan]], the quadriplegic cartoonist known for offending just about everybody.
* [http://community.livejournal.com/dot_gimp_snark/profile This] livejournal community.
* The amputee joke: You can't trust doctors--youdoctors—you give them a foot, they take a leg.
* Louis Braille (the guy who invented Braille). If biographies written about him are of any merit, he tended to be an arrogant jerkass, believing all of France was against his idea and generally acted like a martyr because he was blind. In one of the biographies about him, this drove a big wedge between him and his girlfriend who soon left him for another man.
