Sarcasm Blind: Difference between revisions

Line 103:

** Cohen the Barbarian ''does'' understand sarcasm, in a vague sense, but he has a little more trouble with metaphor and hyperbole. Several Agatean nobles commit suicide in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Interesting Times|Interesting Times]]'' by telling him they'd rather die than see him on the throne.

* In the ''[[X Wing Series]]'', Runt is like this at first, being a non-human new to serving in the New Republic. He learns.

* The Eighth Doctor, in the ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] books. He's more of a genuine [[Cloudcuckoolander]] than the Doctor [[Obfuscating Stupidity|usually is]]. Why he has one or two [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarkers]] traveling with him basically at all times is something of a mystery.

== Music ==

* In [[Weird Al Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]]'s 11-minute epic "Albuquerque," he mentions an incident where he saw a co-worker struggling with some heavy boxes and asked if he wanted help. The co-worker responded "No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw." [[Black Comedy|So he did.]]

** But he's got that really cool nickname now: Torso Boy!

Line 268:

* Much of the cast in ''[[Daria (Animation)|Daria]]'' (aside from Daria and Jane, obviously), to much comic effect. Particularly the stupidest characters (Brittany, Kevin, Sandy/Quinn, Mr. O'Neil...).

* Used in the ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' movie "Imaginationland". The military is interrogating Stan and Kyle, trying to find a way into Imaginationland, and a specialist accidentally lets slip that they have a secret portal there. The general shuts him up, sarcastically saying, "Why don't you just tell them everything about Project X?!" The specialist starts describing it until the general cuts him off by pointing out he was being sarcastic.

* Used hilariously in ''[[Justice League]]''. In the episode "Eclipsed," a general is possessed by an evil spirit, which wants to pass itself along to a member of the Justice League. Asking a subordinate how to get the attention of the Justice League, the subordinate replies, [[Super Villain|"Put on a gaudy costume and threaten to hurt a lot of people."]] ''So he does.'' The costume he puts together is a [[Shout Out]] to one of the more garish of the old school super villains, Eclipso.

* In ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'', Charlie Brown is none to pleased to discover he has received no Christmas cards, so he goes up to Violet, and says:
