Sarcastic Devotee: Difference between revisions

* Jeeves to Bertie in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'', though he always encases his sarcasm in polite language. Also a [[Servile Snarker]].

* [[Don Quixote]]: Deconstructed by Sancho Panza: What happens in [[Real Life]] to the employee that cannot say anything about his master without being sarcastic? Why, Sancho is beaten by Don Quixote at chapters XX and XXX of Part I, and gives him a hurricane of insults at chapter XLVI.

'' Don Quixote turned upon Sancho, and with a countenance glowing with anger said to him, "Is it possible, Sancho, there is anyone in the whole world who will say thou art not a fool, with a lining to match, and I know not what trimmings of impertinence and roguery? Who asked thee to meddle in my affairs, or to inquire whether I am a wise man or a blockhead? Hold thy peace; answer me not a word; saddle Rocinante if he be unsaddled; and let us go to put my offer into execution; for with the right that I have on my side thou mayest reckon as vanquished all who shall venture to question it;" and in a great rage, and showing his anger plainly, he rose from his seat'' }}

 

* Agent/[[Colonel Badass|Colonel]] John Casey from ''[[Chuck]]'' does this exceedingly well. Actually it seems that Adam Baldwin plays this character type well, see: Cobb, Jayne.

* [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]] is very, very loyal to Captain Kirk, but he doesn't hesitate to point the more "questionable" aspects of Kirk's plans, sometimes with a well-placed [[Stealth Insult]].

** It would seem unflinching loyalty wrapped in deadpan snark is one of the Vulcans' many hats. T'Pol and Tuvok are both like this as well.

** Bones McCoy, who as [[The Captain|Captain]] Kirk's chief medical officer and close friend is basically the only one on the ship with the license--and the chutzpah--to question Kirk's judgment openly. Spock is more polite and guarded.

* Toby Ziegler on ''[[The West Wing]]'', whose snarking and complaining are actually things that President Bartlet highly value.

* Future!Castiel from ''[[Supernatural]]''.

'''Future!Cas:''' Of course. }}

* This is Avon from ''[[Blake's Seven|Blake's 7]]'' to a T - even after Blake disappears.

* ''[[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones]]'', has Rennac, a mercenary employed by [[Cloudcuckoolander|L'Arachel]], the Princess of Rausten. It's pointed out in the ending that he doesn't actually try very hard to escape her service despite [[Deadpan Snarker|his comments]] towards her actions.

* In [[Mass Effect]], the ship's pilot, [[Seth Green|Joker]], resembles this. There's no doubt he's snarky, but he's got the commander's back.

** Garrus has stuck with Shepard through thick and thin, snarking all the while.

* Etna from ''[[Disgaea]]'' is the only one of the late king's vassals willing to serve Laharl, and she's quite sarcastic to him, since he's a [[Royal Brat]]. Even though {{spoiler|she uses him as bait to stop Maderas,}} she genuinely feels guilty about doing so, since {{spoiler|she promised the king, [[Because You Were Nice to Me|the only person to ever show her kindness]], that she'd protect his son.}}
