Deadpan Snarker/Radio: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Legendary comedy team [[Bob and Ray|Bob & Ray]] based their entire act around this trope, as applied originally to [[Radio Drama|the medium they worked in]], and later expanded to take in every media trend and fad going. Given their influence on modern American comedy - including but not limited to Bob Newhart and George Carlin - it could be argued that they played a major role in popularising the concept.

* The Devil in ''[[Old Harry's Game]]'' is very definitely one of these, though most of the other characters get their moments.

* Robin Ince in ''[[Mitch Benns Crimes Against Music]]''. And in real life.

* First Officer Douglas Richardson in ''[[Cabin Pressure]]''. It's one of the things he does best, and he's good at everything.

* One might miss it between [[Captain Obvious]] moments, but Arthur Dent in ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' was not above indulging occasionally.

'''Arthur''': I don't know. Why, do you think it's the sort of think you're likely to say? }}

** More obviously, Zaphod snarks at Arthur, Ford snarks at Zaphod, Trillian snarks at both of them and Marvin just snarks.
