Line 5:
* Keaton Yamada, the narrator of ''[[Chibi Maruko Chan (Manga)|Chibi Maruko Chan]]''.
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''
** Kyon fits this perfectly, as well as being the main character ''and'' the [[Narrator]]. We aren't always sure if he's keeping a running commentary [[Inner Monologue|in his head]] or [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?|saying it out loud]]. However, the other characters reply accordingly. Kyon is the ''king'' of sarcasm! Just ''Listen'' to him!
** It appears that in the novels, Koizumi is developing into one .
* Norway from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. Whenever speaking with Denmark, he'll fit in as many insults as possible, but with his emotionless attitude and Denmark's obliviousness, they don't really get through.
Line 21:
** Otonashi from ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats]]'', in a more [[Meta Guy]] sense.
* Despite being one of the two leads, Duzell in the manga ''[[Vampire Game]]'' exemplifies this [[Trope]].
* [[Anti -Hero|Seto Kaiba]] has more than a few moments in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]''.
{{quote| '''Kaiba:''' Anyone who is late to my tournament will be disqualified. Mokuba, make sure Wheeler's late.}}
** Or...
Line 106:
'''Otto:''' If I may say so, [[Improbable Age|I do not believe there are any other normal third graders with the title librarian at the Infinite Library]]. }}
* Yomi from ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]''. It comes from being [[The Straight Man]] to Tomo's [[Jerkass|jerkassness]].
* [[Anti -Hero|L]] from ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' certainly had his moments.
{{quote| '''Misa:''' We catch Kira! I can't imagine a world without Light!<br />
'''L:''' Yes, that would be dark… }}
Line 114:
* There are three types of characters in [[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]: [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarkers]], [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]], and Total Idiots. Sometimes characters will wear different hats (e.g. Usopp, who occasionally plays the fool, or plays snarker to Luffy's idiocy). Many characters share multiple roles, switching back and forth between them, and there are very few characters who are completely serious such that they display neither any ounce of stupidity or some snarker tendencies at some point.
* [[Kanamemo]] has Hinata and Saki.
* [[Anti -Hero|Vegeta]] from ''[[Dragonball]]'' fits this trope better than the rest of characters, with Piccolo most likely being 2nd.
{{quote| '''[[Anti -Hero|Vegeta]]:''' Welcome to the end of your life... and I promise it's going to hurt.}}
::Or...
{{quote| '''[[Anti -Hero|Vegeta (to Android 18)]]:''' If you give up now I promise to turn you into something practical, like a toaster or a washing machine.}}
** Even more then him [[Overshadowed By Awesome|Yamcha]].
 
{{quote| '''[[Anti -Hero|Vegeta (to Krillin and Yamcha)]]:''' Whatever. Just stay out of my way when I tear [[Big Bad|Cell]] apart.}}
 
{{quote| '''[[Overshadowed By Awesome|Yamcha]]:''' This coming from the guy who was beat senseless by Cell?}}
Line 128:
'''[[Sixth Ranger|Tien]]:''' Um... why don't you come a little closer and say that? }}
* From [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], There's [[Hot Scientist|Ritsuko]], [[Shrinking Violet|Shinji]], [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Rei]] and [[Handsome Lech|Kaji]].
* [[Black Lagoon]] has several, but the most prevalent are [[Genius Bruiser|Dutch]], [[Anti -Villain|Benny]], [[Magnificent Bitch|Balalaika]] and [[Faux Affably Evil|Mr. Chang]].
* From [[Hellsing]]: There's [[Badass Normal|Integra Hellsing]], [[Redheaded Hero|Pip Bernadette]], [[Badass Bookworm|Walter C. Dornez]], [[Mad Scientist|The Doctor]] and [[Bifauxnen|Hienkel Wolfe]] and [[Badass Adorable|Seras Victoria]].
* Souchiro's biological father, [[Hot Dad|Reiji]] from [[Kare Kano]]
