Line 4:
'''Helen:''' Not even ''you'' live up to them all the time. |''[[Daria]]'', "Monster"}}
This character has a world-weary disdain for ''everyone'', themselves included. They typically suffer from a healthy dose of [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]], and are the type to stand aside at parties and quietly drink beer while making [[Deadpan Snarker|cold-hearted quips]] about the [[Surrounded by Idiots|idiocy that surrounds them]].
To the "herd followers" they deprecate, this makes them a [[Jerkass]]. The sympathetic see their antisocial behavior as a sort of personal crusade against idiocy. The [[Alpha Bitch]] and [[Jerk Jock]] are their mortal enemies. If they have any positive interaction with the [[Big Man on Campus]], then they are a [[Cool Loser]], teaching him not to be a self-satisfied twit while he teaches them to be less haughty and smile a little.
Line 18:
* Nagisa of ''[[Satou Kashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai]]'' is an example of this towards anyone but her [[Hikikomori|brother]], mother and pet rabbits. She rebuffed a declaration of friendship from the seemingly loony [[New Transfer Student]] with "''Are you retarded?''"
* Ayase of ''[[Midori Days]]'', which she has to overcome for her to truly love Seiji.
* ''[[Saiyuki]]''
** Professor Hwan actually fits this trope obnoxiously well. Always standing around with her fellow scientists in the lab, constantly leaving snide remarks on their part whilst also pointing out their densely inappropriate behavior with nonstop sarcasm.
** Nii would probably be more accurate, really; Hwan is more often the victim of the Snark Knight. She's the butt of his jokes most of the time, and generally only manages to comment on their behaviour until he retaliates.
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'': Kyon is this trope in spades. Most of his dialogue revolves around him being snarking over how the world literally revolves around Haruhi's whims.
* Miyako of ''[[Private Prince]]'' sometimes come across as this.
* Spike Spiegel of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''.
Line 79:
{{quote|"I am a strange girl. To begin with, I am frightfully egotistical. Don't flatter yourself you have said anything very clever if you ever take it into your head to tell me so... I am tired to death of myself; I would give all I possess to get out of myself; but somehow, at the end, I find myself so vastly more interesting than nine tenths of the people I meet." }}
* Dominil finds herself firmly in Snark Knight territory in ''[[Curse of the Wolfgirl]]''. Daniel ''likes'' to think of himself as one, but he is too firmly mired in the chaos to be one.
* [[Author Avatar|The unnamed author]] in ''"Sideshow", and Other Stories'' by [[Thomas Ligotti]].
Line 173:
* Nikki from ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]'' is her group's version of the Snark Knight.
* June from ''[[Ka Blam!|KaBlam!]]'' sometimes fell into this trope.
* ''[[Total Drama Island]]''
** Noah definitely falls into this category, since that was his only distinctive trait in season one, with Duncan coming in at a close second. Now that it's been 3 seasons, Noah's fleshed out more, but is still definitely a snarker when he wants to be.
** Gwen also qualifies, especially in the first season.
