Deadpan Snarker/Film/Animated Films: Difference between revisions

* Disney movies, whether of the [[Disney Animated Canon]] variety or [[Pixar]] variety, often tend to have very noticeable snarkers. Here are some examples, in chronological order.

** Bagheera from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'', such as when talking to Baloo about whether or not to take Mowgli back to human society:

'''Bagheera:''' Yes, like you did when the monkeys kidnapped him, huh? }}

** Dodger from ''[[Oliver and Company]]'':

'''[[Jerkass|Dodger]]:''' [[Kick the Dog|Listen, kid, I hate to break it to you, but the "dynamic duo" is now a dynamic uno.]] }}

** Krebbs the Koala, from ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'':

'''[[Cloudcuckoolander|Frank]]:''' I'm free? I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free!<br />

'''Kangaroo:''' Shhh... Joanna will hear.<br />

'''Krebbs:''' Double or nothing, he's caught in 5 minutes. }}

** Lumiere, from ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'':

'''Lumiere:''' Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affection. }}

** The Beast himself has his moments.

'''Beast:''' ... Stupid. }}

** Iago, from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'':

'''[[Gilbert Gottfried|Iago]]:''' Oh there's a big surprise! I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from that surprise! }}

** Scar, Timon, and Nala from ''[[The Lion King]]'', but especially Scar.

'''Scar:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, goody.]]<br />

'''Simba:''' My dad just showed me the whole kingdom, and I'm going to rule it all!<br />

'''Scar:''' Yes, well forgive me for not ''leaping'' for joy. Bad back, you know. }}

** [[Large Ham|Hamm]], [[Butt Monkey|Mr. Potato Head]], and [[The Hero|Woody]], (especially in the first movie) from the ''[[Toy Story]]'' series.

'''Woody:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, right, yeah, the TV just HAPPENED to turn on and the remote MAGICALLY ended up in front of YOU!]]<br />

'''Jessie:''' You calling me a ''liar''?<br />

'''Woody:''' Well, if the boot ''fits''... }}

** Phoebus and Esmeralda from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', but especially Phoebus.

'''Phoebus:''' Offhand, I'd say it's the [[Down the Drain|Court of Ankle-deep Sewage.]] }}

** Hades, Phil, and Megara from ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'', but especially Hades.

** Meg gets some very good lines too:

** [[Big Bad|Hopper]] from ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''.

'''Hopper:''' ... are you saying I'm stupid? Do I look stupid to you? Let's just think about the logic, shall we? Let's just think about it for a second. If it was up there, would I be coming down here to your level, ''LOOKING FOR IT?'' }}

** Kuzco from ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]''.

'''Kuzco''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, boo-hoo. Now I feel really bad. Bad llama.]]<br />

'''Pacha:''' I could've let you die out there in that jungle, and then all my problems would be over.<br />

'''Kuzco:''' [[Jerkass|Well, that makes you ugly AND stupid.]] }}

** ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'' has Wilhelmina Packard. Her [[Catch Phrase]] is, "We're all gonna die".

** Many of the characters in the film ''[[The Incredibles]]'' fill this role, specifically the Supers.

'''Violet:''' If you haven't noticed, Mom, we're not doing so hot either. }}

** Mittens the [[Cats Are Snarkers|cat]] from ''[[Bolt]]''. It helps that her voice is done by Sussie Essman from ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]''.

'''Mittens:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, the super-bark. Scary, scary.]] }}

** ''[[Princess and The Frog]]'' . Tiana due to her status as the [[Only Sane Man]], but a lot of other characters as well.

:: And this gem:

'''Tiana''': She'll have you. }}

** ''[[Tangled]]''. Flynn. Oh, so much. A large part of the reason why the movie is so entertaining is from Flynn casually snarking at everything as it happens.

'''Flynn:''' ''(very droll)'' A horse? }}

** Pascal almost manages to out-snark Flynn, no mean feat considering [[Silent Snarker|he can't talk.]]

** Ariel's sister Andrina in ''[[The Little Mermaid]] 3: Ariel's Beginning''

* Charlie Barkin from [[All Dogs Go to Heaven]] fits this trope perfectly, not only in his words, but in his facial expressions and actions as well. To get the full effects of Charlie's Deadpan Snarkerness, you have to watch this scene, where Charlie "tucks" Anne Marie into bed in his cab:

'''Charlie''': Oh yeah? All right...all right. All right. [[Beat|[beat]]] Dames...<br />

'''Anne Marie''': Thank you, Charlie.<br />

* Jiji in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''. He was voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman in one of his last film roles ([[Subbing Versus Dubbing|in the dub only]]).

* In ''[[Astro Boy (film)|Astro Boy]]'' 2009, Dr. Elefun tends to drop into this mode whenever he shares screen time with Stone.

* Hiccup in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' intermittently comes out with some of the most hilariously matter-of-fact lines ever.

"You just gestured to ''all'' of me!"<br />

"Thank you for summing that up."<br />

* Kate the alpha wolf in ''[[Alpha and Omega]]'' shows this off during serious situations.

* Francis from ''[[Felidae]]'' can show to be a deadpan snarker at times.

'''Francis:''' I bet they would with 300 volts loosening my tongue! }}

* [[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]] and the Cat.

* [[Little Miss Snarker|Margo]] from ''[[Despicable Me]]'' is very dry and sarcastic.

'''[[Large Ham|Vector]]:''' Exactly. I'd like to see somebody else order that many cookies. Not likely. Name ''one'' person who ordered more cookies than me.<br />

'''Margo:''' ''(unimpressed)'' That'll be fifty two dollars. }}
